James Cox was on the recent United trip in France, and was kind enough to commandeer a disposable camera and snap some pics along the way.

I took these ‘Disposed’ photos in between filming duties on my recent ‘Pommes Frites Et Une Baguette’ trip to France, whilst the United team were riding street in and around the city of Paris. I tried really hard not to take a picture of the Eiffel Tower but I couldn’t help myself….

Mainly Featuring: Ashley Charles, Luke Peeters, Mike Escamilla, Alex Valentino, Thomas Calliard, Manu Sanz.

When it comes to Hip-Hop sites/blogs, Nahright is the only one I check. It’s got pretty much everything I’d need to know about (sans ofwgkta) in one place and it’s easy to view.

Go HERE for an interview with Eskay from Nahright regarding Hip-Hop marketing. It’s a pretty good read.

Here’s a promo from the Bad Timing crew. Featuring Tony Hamlin, Brett Tocco, Geoff Slattery, Darryl Tocco, and Aaron Smith. Real deal right here.

The other day we started the day off with a little session at the 45th street ditch. While waiting for everyone to meet up, Chase and Aaron decided to play a quick game of B.I.K.E. for fun. The game ended up lasting a lot longer than we anticipated with Aaron doing some tricks he has never even done before. Enjoy…

Rules:

-No tricks that require brakes. (Fufanus and Abubacas)

-No tailwhips or barspins. (Kinda)

-Last letter gets two tries.

-Some tricks may have to be redone if not pulled clean.

Almond just sent through this trailer for the upcoming Skanks & Bodyshots edit. It doesn’t really tell you much about what went down riding wise, but it’s still a cool little visual journey. All the dudes featured are rad, so I’m looking forward to this.

Edit coming soon.

I’m sure this might be old news to some of you Old School BMX dudes out there, but I just came across this Vintage Mongoose site over on TWBE.

Vintage Mongoose looks to be a pretty detailed history of Mongoose full of pics and adverts. GET HISTORICAL!!!

Forty Distribution are holding a little contest in Chicago. Read below. More info HERE.

We are throwing a contest-jam-get together thing! Ride your BMX on some street, crete, dirt, and wood in Chicago. Film it, edit it, and come show it! Cash award for the fave, some prizes and some raffling and drinks to raise some dough to help out Tag. Do it, dude’s (and dudettes)!

Being a fan of well done double exposures, I was stoked to come across Dan Mountford’s stuff. Dan’s got some rad “in camera” (non-photoshopped) double exposures which are super cool. Check those out HERE.

He’s got some cool graphic design stuff going as well, so follow/bookmark him on Flickr.

Nike just dropped this cool little piece on Garrett Reynolds. Dude’s awesome. Watch it.

From Nike:
Between countless contests and endless filming missions, Garrett Reynolds is one of the busiest riders in BMX. We caught up with Garrett for a few days in San Diego to get this exclusive interview and some absolutely unreal riding footage. You’re going to like this…

This just showed up in my inbox. Very vague and interesting. Hmmmmm……

From Terje Sorgjerd’s Vimeo page:

This was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011. I had the pleasure of visiting El Teide.
Spain´s highest mountain @(3718m) is one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars and is also the location of Teide Observatories, considered to be one of the world´s best observatories.

The goal was to capture the beautiful Milky Way galaxy along with one of the most amazing mountains I know El Teide. I have to say this was one of the most exhausting trips I have done. There was a lot of hiking at high altitudes and probably less than 10 hours of sleep in total for the whole week. Having been here 10-11 times before I had a long list of must-see locations I wanted to capture for this movie, but I am still not 100% used to carrying around so much gear required for time-lapse movies.

A large sandstorm hit the Sahara Desert on the 9th April and at approx 3am in the night the sandstorm hit me, making it nearly impossible to see the sky with my own eyes.

Interestingly enough my camera was set for a 5 hour sequence of the milky way during this time and I was sure my whole scene was ruined. To my surprise, my camera had managed to capture the sandstorm which was backlit by Grand Canary Island making it look like golden clouds. The Milky Way was shining through the clouds, making the stars sparkle in an interesting way. So if you ever wondered how the Milky Way would look through a Sahara sandstorm, look at 00:32.
