Clicked Mash Up

Seen on the forum. I love simple edits where you can tell dudes were having fun just doing what they do, for some reason that gets me more motivated to ride than anything.

Dang Dang

Dang. Go to PropsBMX.tv for more videos.

Thumbs Up

My friend Bob actually went to the store and bought music. What a maniac. As a result I got a bunch of tunes for free. These 3 albums made me happy.

Turntable Bike

I saw this news about The Turf on the internet last week and it reminded me of seeing Dave Freimuth shredding this place on his bmx. I couldn’t remember which video it was in, and after some in-depth probing on the internet I still couldn’t find it. This led me to contact Mr. Freimuth himself who confirmed it was definitely in Baco 5 (aka Homosexuals).

“…yeah, that Turf story is crazy. i guess they didn’t have the bowls cleaned out for long before the city shut it down. that place is a freakin landmark. prob one of the last in the world. well, i guess it WAS one of the last. it’s funny, you were like the 5th person to mention that and the old Baco parts to me… thanks for remind me of some great times!”

I don’t think Dave is going to be the first person to rush out and upload Baco 5 to the web, so I’m calling on all you oldheads out there to look though your VHS collection to find it. This one should definitely be added to bmxmdb.com. It’s called “Homosexuals” for god’s sake. This is a piece of bmx history that needs to be shared. If you can find it contact me at derek@leastmost.com. I want to see it again. Thanks…

Check out this skate footage from The Turf. The place looked so sick, hopefully it gets resurrected some day.

The Birth of Long Air?

I saw today on the blogosphere/tweetosphere that it was “Colin Winklemann Jump Something Big Day”. Okay we can try, but I still don’t think anybody is touching this with a ten foot pole. Colin was truly one of a kind. Thinking of you buddy…

Believe The Hype

Bmxfeed Video is evolving every day. Jason just did another update to fit more videos, so I’m putting on my Flavor Flav clock again to hype this feature. It’s pretty amazing, it works with magic, bookmark it. Yeahhhhh boyyyyeee!!

Rap-metal hall of fame?

Seen on Bmxfeed Video

I checked out the bmxfeed video page again today and sure enough it works! I found this little trail video from Bicycle Union that I haven’t seen anyone blog about yet. So I thought I’d blog about it before robots completely eliminate my job.

Bmxfeed Video?

Bmxfeed.com, everybody’s favorite bmx news service, just launched a new feature the bmxfeed video page. It works magically (through rss) to pull the newest videos from your favorite bmx sites onto one page. No more waiting for lazy bloggers like me to make you aware of them. It’s cool, it’s hip, it’s like the future or something. Thanks to Jason Morris for putting it together as another free service to the bmx community. How awesome is that?

Let’s Get Mystical

I’m still blown away by how good this whole video looks. Great job Joe Simon & Mutiny. Here’s the PA section because I have to rep, but you can watch the entire Let’s Get Mystical video now on the Mutiny website.

As seen on almost every bmx website.

Originality…

…is alive and well in bmx.
