a few years back I made this poster. no one really gets to see it. so I figured I’d make a little video for it. I made this list back in August of ’08. Dylan Smith is on there twice by accident. My pick to replace the duplicate name is Darryl Nau.

Blow up Your Car Ride a Bike.
Rainy Day.
Slow week for news. Captured a few clips from Loughead last night. Stoked how they came out. Also, my frame & fork from 2×4 came in. Waiting for a few more parts then I’ll be building up Lafawnduh 2.0
Niki Croft
Loughead and I were talking yesterday about coming back from a concussion and he brought up this video. I know this has been posted a while ago but it’s still worth a watch. If you’re gonna get down on something burly, think about the consequences. Niki Croft is one bad ass dude.
The Set // East Coast Trip.
The Set just posted their East Coast trip, not to be confused with America’s east coast, The Set is from Australia. Between Simms, & Grosser alone this edit is worth a watch. Awesome riding from everyone and crisp footage to boot. BSimms do that!
Filmed and edited by Troy Charlesworth.
additional filming by Calvin Kosovich Michael Vockenson and Jerry Vandervaulk.
Into the Void // Eli Platt.
The ninth section of The Shadow Conspiracy’s second full-length DVD release,
“Into the Void,” featuring Eli Platt. Filmed and Edited by Johnny Devlin
First of all, I want to say that the above video gets me so stoked to ride every time I see it. Eli has an effortless style that really comes through here. I also want to mention that there’s been a lot of debate on DVD vs web videos. I like both, however, I do think there is one difference between the two. Patience.
In order to produce a dvd you really have to wait till all the footage is together. Sitting on footage isn’t fun, I have been working on a video part that has some 2 year old clips but I’m psyched on them. And I’m willing to wait to show them. Also along with the patience aspect is sitting down and actually watching the video. Eli’s part refrenced above is the second to last part in the video. When you actually watch the Into the Void dvd you’ll watch all the other parts first (usually) before you get to this part. Which adds suspense to the whole thing.
When a dvd section is released online, how is it usually uploaded? section by section. which takes away from the suspense of wondering who’s going to be up next instead of just clicking the person you want to see.
The last thing I want to mention is isolation. I want to say more often than not, my friends watch web videos usually in their own free time as to watching a dvd in a room together. I do that too, I’ll sit here and watch what ever I’m interested in over on TCU and then go about my day. It becomes something you’ll talk about with your friends once you get to see them and ride but sometimes not something you actually enjoy together. And that’s one thing I really liked especially as a young kid growing up. To watch a video with your friends, everyone gets psyched and then head out to ride. Now, you can still very well do that with a web video barring that you have the capabilities to hook your laptop up to your tv, if not, everyone’s crowded around a small laptop or monitor not fully seeing the detail of the clips.
Basically what I’m saying is as long as its on a big screen and it’s not some pixelated garbage I’m in. Getting your friends together and seeing which clips gets them stoked also helps you learn about eachother’s vision of what bmx is and I think that’s pretty cool.
RidePAbmx // Brett Snell
As promised, here’s some footage of Brett Snell from last year. Brett’s really fun to ride with and if you missed it you can see some more footage of him from our first Mixtape.

Chris Silva.
I want to take a moment to highlight someone who I think get’s over looked or maybe he’s just under the radar. But Macniel’s Chris Silva is constantly filming for various projects and always working on something new. I first heard of Chris back at one of the old Metro Jams. I remember seeing him back pedal slide down the biggest rail there. At that time I had just learned back pedal slides and I could totally relate to how hard that was and how ballsy he must of been to get it done on that rail. Nowadays you see alot of the front crank arm slide but not so much of the rear pedal slides anymore. I admire that Chris still does them and not to mention very smoothly. Check out this latest edit of his from Macniel and see if you can spot the pedal slides.

Ride PA Winter Park Mix.
So stoked on this video. Nothing makes me want to ride more than seeing people I rode with before getting better and better. Tyler makes me want to ride 4 pegs and Wendell makes me want to finally learn whoppers. A Crazy Black appearance too!

KTS: 2011 leftovers.
Stoked to see some new footage arise from the KTS camp. Justin came out and visited a while back and we filmed a quick double peg 180 on a rail. funny thing is, that rail is now knobbed. Also, I had 3 pegs, which didn’t last long. peep the rest of the homies in this chill little edit. the last clip is so tight.
