The Radavist

Oh man, this looks like it was a riot. The heavy bike bunnyhop contest and all the shredding on the pie slice bank is insane. FBM‘s BMX Post Apocolympics was a huge success last weekend. One thing though Steve: where’s the pizza?!

This is pretty rad. I may not be the biggest BMX’r but I can appreciate great photos and journalism. Here’s the scoop from the Albion:

“For the next nine weeks we shall be publishing a back issue online every Monday morning, starting today with The Albion Issue 1.

To view The Albion Issue 1 on a tablet or smartphone, you can download the 51mb PDF file here. [WiFi connection recommended].

To give precedence to our print publication and subscribers, all future issues of our UK and North American editions will be published online two months after their print release date. To all those who purchased an Issue 1 PDF download a full refund is available.

By publishing The Albion online for free we hope to expand our readership by reaching out to scenes further afield where the magazine is not readily available, so that we can now offer a free magazine to riders around the world.

Thanks,

The Albion”

It’s been a while but Brooklyn-based videographer Scott Marceau is back at it with another one of his Flip Clips. Here’s Volume 5, peep the rest below.

Terry from FFC / Werehaus has been spending time down at the Island in SF, shooting video of FGFS, BMX and skateboarding.

Posy shared with me this new video featuring Oscar and some friends, riding through London for New Era.

FBM’s Thousand Yard Stare was one of my favorite DVDs of the year and Kenny Horton’s section is about as metal as they come. The first few clips will get your gut wrenching…

BMX. Texas. Mutiny. And even a Flag Hatchet shirt makes a cameo (thanks Mikey!). Got some time to burn this morning? Watch this and when you’re done, peep the gallery here.

The official Texas Toast registration and information is live. Head over to check out more information. There hasn’t been a better reason to be in Austin this year! Check out a ton of coverage from last year’s event below.

Kevin Porter is a character. A can-can, coffee cup-carrying, BMX ripper. Defgrip dives right into Kevin’s morning brew with a great Q&A about his new endeavors with Bow Truss Coffee Roasters. It’s a great interview! Check it out here.

TREE just upped the Derek Nelson video for embedding and I highly suggest you watch this! Definitely a creative approach to the standard BMX web edit.

Venom, FBM and American steel? Hell yes! To coincide with Dillon Leeper’s newest team edit, FBM just released their newest lookbook featuring shirts, rad photos, girls and America. Check it out here, or I’ve embedded it below.

I was just going through my emails when I came across this and then Tracko posted it up as well. I met Jim once, in Tokyo, during the CMWC and he was a brilliantly charismatic guy. As the owner of Cranky’s, a great bike shop, he needs our help.

“This past weekend leading a youth BMX trip, Jim C a figure in our local bike community and Cranky’s shop owner took a really bad crash and landed himself in the hospital. He was rushed into surgery and spent the past couple days in the hospital racking up some big bills. Jim has done so much for our community so if you feel like supporting this awesome guy the Santa Barbara Bike Coalition has set up a donation site at www.bicicentro.org/ICF.

Back when Jim C. first moved out to Santa Barbara three years ago, coalition members were in awe. He brought with him the Bicycle Film Festival, the energy of the LA bike movement, Cranky’s, Gold Sprints, a cyclocross race, and even youth trips 100 miles away because of the BMX ban in our skate park.

Jim served the last two years as a Board member of the Bicycle Coalition active in both our events planning and in the advocacy arena. He tirelessly interacts with new and established cyclists to push our cause, hosts challenging events, and captains the ship at Cranky’s. Jim has helped so many of us, and now it’s time to help him.

At this time, 100% of SB Bicycle Coalition Injured Cyclist Fund donations are going to Jim Cadenhead, who is currently hospitalized due to a major crash during the annual Youth BMX overnight trip that he coordinates out to Atascadero.

He will have significant medical bills from this injury and does not have health insurance. It’s time for everyone to give back to Jim C!”

PLEASE donate anything you can to the Injured Cyclist Fund to help Jim C! I just did and you can too. Even $1 helps.

If you know who Tom Dugan is, then you know what to expect here. Don’t miss the last clip of this video for Fit.

Empire‘s team is on point. Here’s the latest from rider Tom Smith. That last clip is huge in person. Damn! If this isn’t entertaining enough for you on your Friday afternoon, you could always engage in Empire’s Twitter.

Since it’s FFC, I was expecting this to be a track bike video, so the BMXs were a surprise. It’s a whole different vibe when you’re not pedaling all the time, huh? Shot by Werehaus.

Check it out as FBM Riders Eric Hennessey, Adam Guilliams and Garrett Guilliams hit up some Northeast trails with John “Supes” Skvarla, Pauly Cvikevich, Dave King and “Ekim” King for Tioga BMX. And here I’ve been, sitting indoors all day working on stuff…

FBM has been on a media blitz while I’ve been in Indo. Starting with this video in the American Hand series, featuring Joby Springsteen, the builder of these noble bicycles. And for those wanting to see some Kenny Horton shredding, check out two videos below, they’re just what you need to get your stoked-meter pushing into the red.
