Randy Taylor is one of my favorite dudes to watch whenever some Mutiny or V-Club footage pops up, so I’ve asked him to fill in some blanks for us.

Our good friend Matt Rubin has a few photos up on his Flickr page from the Mike Vincent benefit ride. It looks like there was a great turnout and it’s rad to see all the support. If you would like to help Mike check out our previous posts for all the info.

Check out Matt’s photos here.

I’m sure you all have seen these Mike Tyson video montages floating around for awhile, highlighting is best, worst, most ridiculous, violent, sexist and genius interview moments. That said, watch it again.

There’s some great stuff going on with the Defgrip crew right now. Josh Clancy has been getting a bunch of press about his new project with Zune Arts. I don’t know to many details, but he just posted a pic on his flickr page with the finished piece and got a nice plug on Eddie Cruze, the owner of Union and Undefeated’s, blog on Honeyee. Congrats Josh!

You can also check out an interview with soon to be Austin local, Chad Shack, on the BMXUnion site and keep an eye out for Mike Ardelean on the cover of the new Session BMX mag! And if you are in France, you can check out a little interview with me in the new issue of Desillusion Magazine with a fresh photo that Nuno took! You can check out a few shots of it on my site if for some reason you are not going to make it to France in the next few weeks…

There is another benefit for our friend Mike Vincent that I just came across on the Odyssey site. For more info on Mike click here and here’s the info from the Odyssey site.

As many have heard, a fellow BMXer, Contest Judge, fixed and road rider was struck down by a car a while ago. There will be a benefit ride and raffle for Mike who is still in the hospital since January. Come out for the ride to show your support and maybe win some good prizes. I heard there will be a brand new complete Odyssey/Sunday bike there for the raffle, among other bmx/fixed/road things. Probably a good chance to win too. Come out! See you downtown this weekend.

Sunday April 6, 1pm
starting at Chinatown Metro Station.

Check out the full flyer after the jump. Continue Reading »

There is a benefit going on for our good friend Mike Vincent in Portland on March 22nd. Mike was in a horrible bike accident when he was hit by a car on his way to work. Check out more info about Mike, his accident, the benefit and how you can help after the jump.

I’m sure we’ve referenced The Brilliance a few times here on Defgrip, but I was checking them out yesterday for the first time in a while and got really psyched on their recent content (I say content because, even though it’s a blog with links to other content, there’s always plenty of interesting personal commentary prefacing the links–one of my favorite things about their site).

Among my favorites were links to a great article on Raf Simons, an awesome Gonzales remix of Fiest’s “I Feel It All”, and Hedi Slimane’s photo diary featuring Kate Moss (which you can also see on Hedi’s Myspace page).

Hedi, Raf and Gonzales are of course far more interesting than this post will give them credit for, so if you’re not familiar, my advice is to get over to The Brilliance and read the commentary. While you’re at it, check out at least the latest 2 pages of posts as well. Well worth it.

Mutiny’s Mat Roe was kind enough to fill in some blanks for us. Click below for that.

Thanks to all involved.

I love Tunney, he always comes through with something random and interesting. I know he likes to write about music (and/or musicians), so this makes perfect sense.

I was just browsing the Ride UK site and came across this video of Sebastian Keep and Ben Shenker on Top Gear. Top Gear is a great show and I love how raw their reviews of cars are. It’s pretty funny though, to hear what they have to say about BMXers…

Check the little segment here.
