Aaaaand our exciting week comes to an end (and ALYK have a new website up to celebrate).

How long have you been in business? Since July 2011. Can you explain how the idea for a store came to be? Jeff Kocsis (Jr.) noticed the shop space was available and we thought it was a great idea to put a bike shop there. Who owns the shop? Who works there? Jeff Kocsis Sr., [...]

The time spent on the road, with worries left behind, good friends, and a freespirited smile along for the ride, are some of the best times I have spent during my life as BMXer. A few of us coined the phrase, “Lords of Fun”, as a tongue and cheek …

The crew has been non stop out in California the last couple days…  

Putting the new 18in Bantam Series to work…

What kind of a person edits like this? I was waiting for the star wipe the whole time.

Not even a week later and Demo homie Chris Zeppieri has come through with another edit. This time he shows off some street skills around Boston and New york.

Click here to view the embedded video.

A Day With Robbo. from James Danvers on Vimeo.
Robbo slides around on the snowy UK concrete in this mutiny edit(on both bike and body) check out the gap to tyre slide near the end of this edit-ludicrous!

Looks of good unknown locals killing NYC plus clips from Brad Simms, Nigel Sylvester, Oba Stanley and other names you’ll recognize. UPDATE: Durr, didn’t realize the Vimeo had the full list of rider names: “andy gregory southside mike dave occasio launchpad tyrone williams emmanuel torres, jose castillo rudy donovan howard steven occasio russell barone chad [...]

Chris Z does the mess around in Boston and NY in this new edit.

Some random Alex Donnachie leftovers. Check out the write up I did a couple days ago about Alex and his DVD, Nearly 2.

Daniel Sandoval is now the first person to have documented proof of pulling a 720 double whip. The landing is crazy, but his feet stay on the pedals, so it’s all good in my book. After the jump you can see Pat Casey’s double decade. Last year at Simpel Session someone got extremely close to [...]

I love coming over here to Taiwan. Always so many cool things to see & such a different culture. I am here working on the 2013 & beyond product ranges & took these few random iPhone photos.

Yo yo !!

What do you need when you’re presenting a plan for a public dirt spot to a city council? A perfect scale model of the spot you’re about to build, that’s what. Dylan does just that with his spot-building firm Earth Ramp Bike Parks and here’s his latest proposal; “It sounds like me and my best [...]

I’ve ridden with Torey a ton over the years and he’s always had moves but I really had no idea he was capable of putting together a full section this good, which makes this one of my favorite parts in the video. One of the nicest, most laid back, positive people on earth: “Torey was [...]

1. Eben Fischer: 2011 Revisited. Eben’s style is completely unique, and he’s damn good at what he does. 2. Cult’s “Let Em Talk”. Cult has one of the heaviest hitting teams in BMX, so watching their DVD should be a no brainer. 3. Jono Hopping “No Work. No Worries” Shadow Edit Jono might be out [...]

The 20Twenty team ride some indoor park. They didn’t provide names, so someone will have to fill them in in the comments.

He does the coolest gap to lipslide on a rail near the end of this.

New So Cal mixtape from Shane McLellan. Featuring Dylan Stark, Quincy Dean, Glen Girbovan, Chris Bracamonte and more.

This isn’t the best quality and it song jacks fellow Brooklyn resident, Blackman’s Hood Happy web video, but Jose keeps getting better and better. This is a little late but congratulations to Jose on getting profiled in the new Dig as well.

This blog have been pretty much dead for quite a while now, but maybe I’ll start posting some stuff on here again soon.

Simon sent in a few photos for your viewing pleasure, enjoy…

Cordova slaying Bethel!

Well, they tried.

Filmed by James Carey, this does exactly what it says on the tin. “Testing out the intervalometer over a couple of days with some super fast digging, first day ends with me using a head torch as it got pretty dark (also the quality is pretty shitty for the first day as I didnt associate [...]

Here’s one of my favorite sections from the DVD, our very own Scotty Wemmer. A lot of you may not know that Scott does all the design work for The Come Up and OSS and has really been instrumental in both brands getting their shit together over the past few months. He’s also the brains [...]

If you’re in the NYC area tonight or this weekend, be sure to stop by The Tender Trap, Darryl Nau’s new spot in BK. Darryl refers to the spot as a ”classy dive bar”, so you know it’s gonna be good. © Nuno for Defgrip, 2012. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us Post [...]

Tony and Hittle Sexton mid line…  

I wrote up a post on Chicken & Rice about Nearly 2 and it’s creator, Alex Donnachie.

Next up is Jason White:

“To get Jason out of bed everyday it took some combination of calling about ten times, Facebook messages, Facebook chat, e-mail, and text. In the end it was worth it, it turned out to be what some have told us is “…

I caught word of this last week when our roommate, Tony Neyer went to Austin with Stevie Churchill and Raul Ruiz up there to film for it, but now it’s official; Dans Comp are doing a full length DVD and Stew Johnson will be in charge of filming it. Here’s a Stew quote: “It’s an [...]

“Justin Fouque is one of our riders from France. I asked him if he had any footage laying around and he has his friend Louis Thomas send me this. Justin is a fun guy to be around and likes to go high. So here is a video of Justin riding some local spots and just [...]

Riding a vert ramp by yourself is a scary proposal. Here Simon ignores his better judgement and kills the vert ramp, then matches it to a pretty funny song choice.

Lotek uploaded 3 raw clips of Mike Hoder, all filmed in the SF area. Check the other 2 after the jump.

Charlie has an interview on Ride where he answers the question of if his freecoaster changed his life: “Dude, yes! It made riding 1000x more fun and opened up so many possibilities. Old spots became new spots—it’s like you get to have the fun of starting riding for the first time all over again. All [...]

Here’s a awesome edit of Jared and Dom put together for Federal. Follow Jared at facebook.com/thejaredwashington and twitter.com/washingtonjared

This was supposed to be out like a month ago but late is better than never. Jared is obviously riding good but Dominic, who you might not recognize by name, really kills it in this edit and Navaz handled the editing. Go like Jared and Federal’s …

The riding, filming and production are all super on point in here. However this is an instance where an outlandish song jack ruins what would otherwise be a pretty memorable web video. Actually I guess it’s more memorable now.

Hell yeah.. Orchid uploaded their entire “Footwork” DVD on the interweb! Although Randy Brown aint’ f*ckin’ with them anymore, he still has dope part, along with our dude Micky Marshall. & if you want to get laced up with some new Orchid kicks, h…

Alex Donnachie for 20twentystore.com

One question we get all the time around here is “I have a Profile Mini Hub with a 14mm axle, can I put the 3/8 Female axle into it?”

The answer is YES! No matter which Profile BMX hub you have, you can switch from the 14mm axle to the 3/8 Female axle…

Ben Lewis is back with another top notch edit, this one for his new sponsor, Source BMX. Here’s the word from them: “Source BMX are proud to announce their new pro team of Kriss Kyle, Ben Lewis and Matt Priest. As well as our existing local team, we’re stoked to have three of the most [...]

Joss Fenn and Alex Kennedy leave their mark on Seventies Distribution’s ramp set up. As usual, AK makes everything look far too easy.

“ABD(n)” is 20twentystore’s DVD that Alex Donnachie made for them back in 2010. Alex just posted his section on Vimeo, and it’s incredible. How someone so good has remained relatively low key until fairly recently is perplexing to me. It’s good to see Alex getting more coverage recently, because this section proves that he’s been [...]

give it a follow.

Fabio from Hood BMX our distributor in Italy, sent in this very rare photo of the Colosseum with snow around it. I have been there a few years ago & never would have thought it snows there, pretty cool to see. Yo yo !!

Seen on Tyler Coleman’s bike; Tyler owns Serenity Bike Shop in Chandler, AZ.  A limited run of one hundred numbered purple orignal Jump Off stems were made about 6 or so years ago; good to see Tyler still rocking one.

“Josh has been rolling with the crew for a while now and this heavy edit makes it official. Josh Roberts is on the Make! Good on you lad!“- The Make

Sam Jones is the newest recruit to the Dub team. From the looks of this edit, he’s got all the street chops nessacary to hang with the rest of the Dub crew.

Above is the “Bam’s House” section from Orchid’s most recent DVD, “Footwork”. If you like what you see, head over to the new Orchid website and watch the entire DVD for free!

Matt Cordova celebrates his addition to the Volume Bikes team by ripping around a concrete park, as an Eddie Money tune plays.

“A little video I put together with all my footage from the last year or so. Nothing too serious, just everyday street nibbling from Melbourne Australia.“- Defero

Jackson Ratima sessions a few ledges and a rail in this one day edit for Baygame.

Here’s a edit that Chris Wilmshurst made for Vital this time last year that never went live for some reason. Better late than never.

“Sven Hackett just got hooked up with BSD through Mode bmx and Snap Distribution. We got some footage together over the past few months, filmed in and around Derby and Nottingham.“- BSD

Chris Childs is the newest member of the Orchid team. I’ve been expecting Chris to blown up for years, so hopefully this is the beginning of something really good.

Matt Leviege, a.k.a The Sez, has been riding BMX for ten years now, and to celebrate he has compiled a bunch of his older footage into one remix edit. I know The Sez is also working on a brand new edit that I think should be out pretty soon.

Elliot‘s done it again, this time with a fresh edit from a whole load of classic footage – from Steven Hamilton, to our man Ted, there’s a lot of good stuff on here laced to a backing track of street music. Get in. The music is a live recorded performance by The Bucket Boyz that [...]

Joey points out a really crazy fact in this new interview he put together with Chris Johnsson; this is an entire video part without any spins or grinds (aside from Ratkid’s guest clips). That alone makes it pretty remarkable. Definitely one of m…

East Coast Winters usually are not the most temperate… With that in Mind, John Lee, with some wiring help of the big dog, Mike Erb, to get some lighting up, and built some ramps in an unused spot in the warehouse.
The guys all pitched in, and dialed in …

Here’s a teaser for Ben Hucke’s upcoming Diamondback welcome edit. He also has an interview on ESPN where he talks about what this year holds for him: “I’m actually on my way to Austin now to film for Dan’s with Stew. I don’t have to decide what clips go where. Stew’s clips go to Dan’s [...]

This is an edit that Miles Rogoish put together a couple weeks ago from a skatepark session we randomly ended up having here in Long Beach. This totally represents how awesome the scene is out here right now. Dylan Stark, Devon Smilie, Sean Morr, Shawn Mcintosh, Jourdan Barba and Alfredo Mancuso all put shit down. [...]

Since it’s Friday we though we’d treat you something nice to stimulate your eyes or… yeah. If the animation is causing you a minor case of epilepsy or if you’re just looking for new material, check out the original photo here.

We got our favorite Vegas pool shredder, Juaquin Silva with a new ATF as sort of a wedding gift & he sent some pics of him shredding it. Congrats on the ball & chain man!!!

I had a couple clips of Hoder chillin on my drive collecting dust from last time we were up in SF. Time to set them free. Also Mike down in Austin filming for Animal in…

JJ PALMERE IS NOW RIDING FOR LOTEK. FUCK WHAT YA HEARD.

Here’s the video we did for Philly Swain a few weeks ago at the OSS house. Nigel Sylvester does an extended intro and there are guest appearances from more BMX pro’s than I could possibly name. Can’t believe this really happened.

Marnold, Mick and Cooper have some really good clips in this edit from Focalpoint.

Yo yo !!

Aaron spent some time recently in his home town to relax and catch up with family and friends. Of course, he managed to squeeze some riding in as well. Here are a couple snaps from Carlos Tamez-Mendez.

It only took Bobby Proctor three hours to get this whole edit done at Skaters Edge. Chris Childs gets a few guest clips in as well. I hope 2012 brings us a lot more from Bobby.

Some edits are purely about the tricks, and some edits are more about the fun that you have along the way. While these guys do pull off some good tricks, the fun aspect takes center stage with this one.

The La Costa Norte crew is back, this time putting down street style tricks in the Barcelona Skatepark.

FBM Bike Co!

@iamjoewest- Been really busy making coffee and living life but had an idea in late fall to put something fun together and did this little video. …

Word from Marcus O’Brien – “Here’s a new edit from POWs BMX. It’s B-Roll footy but just because it’s B-Roll doesn’t mean it’s not Beautiful! All Trails!”
