It doesn't matter if you ride with music or not. Music is a huge part of most of our lives. Personally, when i'm on the way to a spot or sessioning something alone, music matters.
This week i found some dude had this Pre-Release CD on his site... a couple of weeks early.
If you want to download it (ya know... for evaluation purposes) click here.
There are new pictures of the Ian Schwartz frame that will be available early next year up on the Sunday site. Check them out here and read about the frames features.
The frame looks awesome and has graphics done by Ian and a pivitol seat post welded on!
Head over to Defgrip to check out a post on Spike Jonze. They have a couple of his videos and stuff from YouTube in there.
You may know the name or know some of the stuff Spike's done but it really is worth checking out because his Filmography is insane!
I first noticed him as the director of the Blind skate video "Video Days". Then of course he started to come up after directing the Beastie Boys' video "Sabotage". Then in 1999 he won a bunch of awards for the Fatboy Slim video "Praise You".
In 2003 he directed most of the "Yeah Right" skate video which really took skatevid production to a whole new level. He incorporated motion control cameras, greenscreen compositing, and other special effects.
Well, here's a clip from Yeah Right that has Owen Wilson, Mike Caroll, and Eric Koston in it. There are no special effects in it but see if you can figure out how Owen Wilson is able to do a bluntslide down this rail.... Definitely worth a look (I promise it is NOT Owen skating)!
-- if you can't figure it out leave me a comment and I will tell you.
I just found this behind the scenes video of Ruben's banger in the Etnies "Grounded" video.
Most of us know Ruben is a living legend in BMX. While most people his age are armchair athletes or invloved in much less dangerous activities, Ruben is nearing his mid-thirties and still out there killing it! I've heard a lot of people talking smack about his latest part in the Etnie's video but how soon we forget that he has been on the cutting edge for a while now and deserves everyones respect for being a BMX pioneer.
If you haven't seen Grounded yet get your copy here and witness this epic video crystal clear and on a real TV!
Anyways, this is the insane wallride and what it took to pull it off. Peep game.
A - The BMX factor is the spirit of life that you get while rollin' on 20's. It doesn't matter if you're riding rails or riding trails the feeling you get is beyond compare. The BMX factor is the indescribable sensation you get when you land a new trick or the simple enjoyment of rolling around town with bros.
BMX changes your outlook, enables creativity and , ultimately makes life more enjoyable.
A good place to start with my first post for BMX factor is this video - Another perspective. It's been out for a while and most everyone has seen it but take a sec to watch it again... it's worth it.
