Did you even see #20? If not, "surprise"...
I'm writing this, lying on my bed. Laptops: thank god.
In other inconsequential news: we've had almost 5,000 views of the DISSRMBlog. That's pretty ridiculous seeing as I thought this was basically only ever being read by Dan so he could see the cool new videos without having to look for them himself...
Did someone say cool new videos? Even if they did, here are some shady old ones. Ian Schwartz and Steven Hamilton's "A Day Late and a Dollar Short" sections:
What the kid says at the start kind of applies to me and (according to his home page on here) Dan?
And on the subject of old school, Steven Hamilton's first ever video part (maybe?):
At least now when faux "old school" riders whine on about Steven Hamilton's best video part and most influential video part being in "DLDS", you can go "No, not really, have you seen Can I Eat?"
Bringing it back to the modern times (I do have a link to an old Luc-E video here, but to be honest: meh.), here are two modern day trick machines, Dakota Roche and Scotty Cranmer.
P3 for the Dakota vid
Re: Scotty Cranmer's first line:
<3
BlackBMX have a summer edit:
As do Mirraco? Go here for that.
Levis have a BMX team with a cool promo video?
In real news, Empire of Dirt got cancelled. Weak. Pesky rain! It's summertime, dammit.
I've never been in the Demolition office, but I'd imagine just before this line of parts was made, the phrase "Have you seen what Odyssey have just done?" was dropped:
Over The Pond should be hitting shops in the now-ish period. I don't know the score with Pijin, but H-man appears to have some in today or something like that, so yeah, awesome video out soon. DISSRM's Joel Nicholls holds down a line in the trailer, and may have more stuff in the main thing (you'd hope so), so that'll be worth it itself.
Talking of worth it - Chill Bro. Too. Good.
Defgrip have a Brian Foster interview up. That was pretty much exclusively for Sam's benefit, but he won't even read this...
Ride 105 and Dig 59 are out now.
Last call for the Attila Leeds video premiere/jam shenanigans. Wish I could go, but I can't. C'est la vie. Even with Ride dedicating an entire page to how bad Grounded is (compared to what it "should've been"...), it'd still be worth a trip...
That's pretty much it, really. No companies have really done much apart from Mutiny making a limited edition gold/black T-shirt you (collective plural) won't want, and Duo collaborated with both Macneil/Pivotal and some US clothing company to do an SL seat with guns on it.
No joke. Available in black on black or white on black.
Once my PC is up and running, expect that "Photos from ages ago" blog I told you about. Oh, and I will hopefully make it to Southampton next week, if I get time off work. If I don't get time off work, it'll mean 19 days straight of 9-5:30 shifts. No weekends, no off days, no nothing.
*sigh*
Enjoy the sun for me, eh...
