Tom LaMarche Railing 180

Saturday, April 30th, 2011

This is just plain ridiculous, Tom’s got mad pop. Spotted at Mr. Prolly’s house.

These dudes know how to have a good time on their bikes, I wish at least one other person would get a trick bike down here in Swansea so that I didn’t have to try and learn stuff on my own! It’s tough having a good time when you only have a lamp post to talk to between tricks.


Teppei and Marco at 3rd and Army

Saturday, April 30th, 2011

“This is a short film featuring Teppei and Marco from Japan. Skateboarding and bike riding at 3rd one nice spring day.” Fast riding, skateboarding and no hip hop, more like this one please!


iMiNUSD at Google

Saturday, April 30th, 2011

There are a a whole bunch of tricks in here, I especially liked the gap to dust to bushes to stream combo, hot! “Wonka and some of the iMD Riders went to Google with Red Bull to promote the Ride + Style event.” What are your feelings about this Red Bull Ride and Style event?


Paved Paradise, Bath

Friday, April 29th, 2011

 

There’s a nice write-up by Hamilton Wheelers of the recent Paved Paradise event in Bath, it sounded great! I think the future of non-trick based fixed gear events will be in loads of little races rather than a big alleycat. If this line doesn’t make you want to read about it nothing will: “The final event was a Kierin in Homebase carpark complete with ‘derny’ bike!”

My friend Jeremy Gluck was once on Top of the Pops with his band The Barracudas singing their hit Summer Fun, I can’t help but think that the song would have been perfect for this video of some of the Mixtmeat and Fixed Gear London boys because they look like they’re having a whale of a time. There are some really nice runs from Jordan in here, I’ve added it to my favourites, you should too.

This guy rips, it looks like he feels that every trick he does might be his last so he really throws himself into it, love it!


Rambler Roll Top Backpack / Pikey Science

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

This is the only interesting thing doing the rounds today, everyone in the world must be preparing for the royal waste of money wedding.

Anyways, the Mixtmeat boys put together this cool video showing off the Mission Workshop Rambler rolltop backpack. I just got one myself and can confirm that it’s an absolute beast, the quality is second to none and it really does expand from almost nothing to huge. This is well worth a watch, it’s nicely shot and a bit different from the usual videos.


Clown Down

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

dislocated fingers

Just yesterday I mentioned Sion here and this morning he was mowed down by a raving dickhead of a driver. His fingers look a bit of a state don’t you think? The streets are mean and drivers are even meaner so be careful out there folks! Share your injury stories in the comments, it’ll be like that scene in Jaws but without the smelly boat…

Ricardo Lino busting some moves down at the skate park. Is it just me or does he look like Keo? :-s I dig the music!

mumbles 14 bike co esb

Had a quick spin down to Mumbles tonight after work for a cup of tea at Costa with Sion and Jack. Mumbles is a nice little seaside village in Swansea and as you can see from the photo above it got it’s name because the rocky bits at the end look like boobs (Latin: Mamillae). For such a little place it has produced a fair few famous people: Catherine Zeta Jones, Ian Hislop and Joanna Page are just a few you have probably heard of. I hope you enjoyed this short history lesson.


Bike Messenger Alley Race – Boston 92

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

This is so cool, I love how crap the 90’s were. I wish I had a cool nickname like ‘Package King”! Well worth a watch, spotted at Prollys obvo.


Cole’s law

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

TECHNO! TECHNO! TECHNO! Okay, maybe not but some nice stuff in here of Cole Ruffing from RYD Bikes. Have a watch and stuff.


Oscar & Felix in London

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

There’s some right corkers in this short video starring 14’s own Oscar Khan and Felix from Geometrick. 1 minute of riding like this is way better than 5 minutes worth of hop bars, remember that kids. Love the footplant at 0:09, I sometimes fall off just trying to get on my bike so I can really appreciate how hard it is to take off, get your foot off the pedal and on to something else, pop then land back on the pedal and ride away, wild. I also like how pi$$ed off Oscar often looks when he lands stuff, maybe when he gets his neon yellow paintjob he’ll be a bit happier.
