The Radavist

I love watching Matt Reyes ride and there’s so many rad lines in here that you’ll just have to see for yourself why! Killing it man!

Matt from Wolf Drawn posted up this rad photo of Joe McKeag hitting a nice wallplant off the skinny ledge in the background.

After growing tired of riding the skatepark, Keith and Christina from Bmore Fixed headed out to a popular ledge to work on some grinds. Out of all the photos Keith posted, I dig this one the most. Love the colors!

Fyxation’s new Mesa 61 Alloy Pedals are in stock. Shown here after Gus put in some pedal slides on them. See more information at Fyxation.

Can’t Fool the Youth continues to upload the video profiles from Vol 1 with Josh Boothby’s section. If you haven’t picked up the DVD, do so here.

There are so many huge tricks in the newest video from London’s Ninjacats. Watch as JBall throws huge bars, pegless grinds and street tech in the mix. This one’s damn good.

Wolf Drawn is back with a new KVLT KLIPS and there are some rad lines in here. Digging the one at 1:48 in particular.

It was a busy year for Matt at Wheel Talk with all the various video projects he’s worked on. Check out some 2012 left overs in his latest edit.

Epic Skatepark in Rocklin, California played host to the first annual Epic Competition and Chop ‘Em Down Films was there to capture it all. This one’s a long watch but well worth it just to see Gus eat french fries.

I really should have included some sort of 2012 observation post in my end-of-year recap series. Mostly to acknowledge people like Phillip Williams. He was relentless with progression last year and he’s already pushing hard in 2013 with his newest web video. My only real critique is more street!

Rick’s photos of Tom just keep getting better. I absolutely love this one, shot in Chicago.

The drama that surrounds this video is actually pretty entertaining if you witnessed it on Twitter. Matt from Wolf Drawn touches on some of it, but it’s sad that Mike has quit riding FGFS. I always enjoyed his videos.

Grime and Wheel Talk start off 2013 proper with the long-awaited Shredwell 2 intro.

2012 brought a lot of videos to the table here at PiNP. I had to scroll through 60 pages of fixed freestyle, track bike, cyclocross, BMX videos and everything in between to compile this list. Unlike previous years, these videos were chosen based on my own personal impact. I didn’t look at the number of comments, or hits, they just stood out from the rest and were, at least in my opinion, very influential. From frame builders, to FGFS and good old fashioned mashing on track bikes, these were my top picks for 2012.

Check them out below.

While none of these clips are recent, almost all of them are still relevant. Torey‘s crank arm slides are some of the best in the game and you can always expect weird lines. Keep at it man.

FGFS ripper Jonathan Davis has been filming for Velo City Bags and Phillip caught a sick wall ride while he was catching clips.

Shooting rider portraits can be done any number of ways and while these aren’t your normal portraits, they caught my eye. Check out more at Rick’s Flickr. Nice work dude.

I love the FOAD crew. Case in point, just watch Jackson get creative on these spots. Love the sprocket grind pivot, fakie stair rides and the double tire skid down the banks. Also, “skidding is bad form”. So good!
