What?

If you're goof, you might as well make it count! Case in point - tooth to cranks to 180?



Dyno, for Scattered.

Things.

TheMake are adding more riders to their line-up, and this time's it's Paul Horan. A pretty cool vid, no-footed cans are always good to see!



Josh Betley continues to improve:



Tom Blyth does likewise:



And lastly - grip wars! Eclat's Ashley Charles (plus bars (that are 10° backsweep according to Ashley, 11.5° according to Eclat, and 10° according to the graphics) vs. United's Nathan Williams...

CALGONCALGONCALGON

Did my usual BMXFeed lap just now, and having sprayed open a load of tabs suddenly started hearing an advert for Calgon. I couldn't work out where it was coming from as all the pages were legit BMX sites and there were no pop-ups anywhere. Then I spotted a fun little auto-playing advert on TheComeUp, along with another advert about how I should apparently eat beef or lamb during the week. I think I prefered the way over the top skating-related adverts on there compared to weak, day-time TV style adverts about things I don't care about. Money's money though I guess? While I'm on the subject of skating, the new John Motta Bangin' is amazing.

More from Mutiny - this time, an out-takes video from their latest series.



They've also updated their site, so go check it out!

Oh, and continuing the theme of 'things I forgot' (at least one per day), here's a Matt Priest video I meant to put up yesterday.

Experimental...

Right, so this might not work. I'll preface it with that.



Hopefully, what you can see above is the awesome 'zine that Rich Forne put together about the Dunkerque trip that I posted up yesterday. If the above doesn't work, hit up Mutiny's site. It's well worth reading!

You might notice as well how the video's really good to watch - nicely filmed, works really well together? Might also spot how the photos look cool too? Well, that's sort of what happens if you get people who specialise in doing things to do them. A while back BMX photographers started getting sort of replaced by just 'people with a camera', and it seems Vans are stepping it up with the new Let It Ride video "Bro cam project". I don't know if there's a seperate 'proper' video to go with this, but I'd certainly hope so. If not, maybe we should progress this whole idea along and stop frame designers and product engineers from doing new products, and just get people who can draw a semi-accurate picture of a BMX part to design them? I mean, you know, all it really is is drawing stuff, right?



Lastly, something I forgot to post yesterday - Kriss Kyle keeps getting better...

No... energy...

I'm super tired and can't really think enough to string sentences together properly, so here are two cool videos - one from Mutiny, and one from Rob Ridge.

Chicken and Shaun...

Another cool video from some cool people - Chicken and Shaun livened up all the P5 jams I met them at, and also let me crash in their house one night which was 100% preferable to ending up almost falling in canals with Lloyd. AAAAAAAnyways, this was over on the Make site and has some nice lines in it. Bonus points for 0:23-0:27 too...

The Count.

My summer in Newcastle last year was awesome for a variety of reasons - one of those reasons being The Count. Rad dude, funny as hell to be around but capable of dropping hammers as and when it's required. This is a vid he's put together of spare footage left over from the summer.



Rinsed from Streetphire!

"Wah wah"

If you're not a fan of videos that aren't a total, back-to-back string of massive bangers, you are not going to be a fan of this post. Some slightly 'different' videos today, starting with the video I watched every day for about a month after I first got it, the Train Trip video that appeared on a copy of Dig (Issue 79 out now!) I got ages ago. There's actually a cool little write-up on Mike O's Blog about it, so check that out while you wait for the video to load!



While we're talking Joe Rich, he currently has a bike-check up on T-1's site.

Continuing the cool videos theme, This Is United is ridonkulous, and if you haven't seen it yet you're letting yourself down spectacularly. Call the shop and get amongst it. James Cox was the man at the helm, and he's got a pretty lengthy video interview up courtesy of BMXMDB. I rode with James just after he'd first quit his job to work for 4Down, and it's amazing to see how he's gone from what his situation was back then to what he's doing these days. Anyone who gives you a load of sweets 'for the road' is a rad dude in my book, and James fully qualifies for that.



While James was pretty awake and alert for that video, Nathan Williams isn't for this fairly weird interview with Dakota Roche.



Continuing the weird video vibe, TheKinkHouse have this edit of Aaron Smith showing his room setup, then a bit of riding at the end as a bonus.



Totally different, and more focussed on the riding is the last of SkullCandy and their "3 days in the desert" video. Some really good stuff in this, interesting to see people making the most of some pretty unusual (but pretty awesome!) spots.



...and with that, I'm off to put a new air filter in my car. Head torches = the best.

Keeping up appearances...

Super busy the past few days, so apologies for the lack of updates. Fortunately, whilst I've been doing other stuff, Tony Hamlin and his girlfriend put this edit together. Questionable sentence in retrospect, but hey ho. Always rad to see more footage from him!



From Kink.

Error.

...was so into singing Purpl's praises I completely forgot about Bruno Hofffffmannnnnn's bikecheck that appeared today. 17. That good. I mean, really...
