Cobra II
Looks like Derek received some Orchid samples. Check out the Blue Groove Cobra II over on the Orchid site. More soon, I’m sure!
Brandon Eckles from Caliwumpus
Jackson sent over this link to Brandon Eckles’ part from the Caliwumpus DVD, noting how he can go from smooth to loose in the blink of an eye. After giving this a watch, he’s not kidding! Definitely one of the most entertaining sections I’ve seen recently, you have no idea what you’re in for from clip to clip.
The Caliwumpus DVD is available for $10 shipped direct from the Caliwumpus site.

Footwork
I’m not even going to e-mail Jason to post this, I’m just going to post it myself. Blatant self promotion? You know it. But since we did the Footwork bonus edit with Least Most it’s only appropriate the full video gets posted here. If you haven’t seen it yet, click play and get ready to smile…

Starring Brian Hunt, Wiz, Brian Histand, Dave Krone, Micky Marshall, Dan Conway, Randy Brown, Van Homan, Niki Croft, and friends. Filmed around eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Getting Back on Track
In January 2008, Mike Vincent was struck by a car while riding his bike in LA and has been on the long road to recovery ever since. Now Mike has a new website – http://mikevbackontrack.virb.com/ – where you can read his story, find updates about his recovery and most importantly, information on how you can purchase a t-shirt or send a donation his way to help defray the costs of recovery.
Mike has had a tremendous influence on bmx, with both his riding and with his efforts behind the scenes, organizing and judging contests. Take a minute to read his story and if you’re able, support him on the road to recovery.
Slayer x Gucci?
A lot of people have asked me who did this Dre remix for the credit section in Footwork. It’s from a Chicago based duo known as The Hood Internet who do mashups of rap and indie songs. They’ve done hundreds of remixes, a lot of them are awesome while many others get rejected and never make it to their mixtapes. If you check out their Soundcloud you’ll find a ton of recent tracks to listen to.
My personal favorites right now are these 2 rap/metal rejects. I’ve made my disdain for rap metal known before, but I like these for their sheer ridiculousness. Slayer x Gucci Mane? Waka Flocka x Pelican? Too funny.
