VH1 has been running a documentary series on the evolution of Heavy Metal called (funnily enough) “Metal Evolution”. The series tackles all of the sub-genres having to do with influencing metal and has been really good (even the prog rock stuff). I decided to check if Metal Evolution episodes were available online, and sure enough, [...]
If you get a lot of your info through Tumblr or just go there to see what people with too much time on their hands put together, than you will find this TIME article useful. This list features everything from politics to art to random stuff. The photo above is from Awesome People Hanging out [...]
This site has been keeping me entertained for months. Especially posts like this, this, and this.
Even if you have no idea what SOPA & PIPA are about, you’ve surely heard about it (or seen the acronyms) over the last couple of weeks. US Wikipedia blacked out in protest as did numerous other sites in one way or another…. even BMX!!! Reports suggest that these protests are working. If you have [...]
Quintin has teamed up with Intelligentsia coffee for a most unlikely collaboration, curated by BMX’s own Kevin Porter. The Quintin/Intelligentsia hat can be found here and here. So now you can buy hats at Intelligentsia, and soon you’ll be able to buy Intelligentsia coffee from Quintin. What a world we are living in. The story [...]
My old friend Darren Meenan (of Manmade fame) is doing a cool sports-based line called The 7 Line. I’m not really into sports, but I can tell this stuff is pretty cool in a tongue-in-cheek sports banter kind of way. It feels honest, but maybe that because I know Darren has been a Mets fan [...]
If Joe Simon says something is amazing, you should probably take his word for it. Here is a time lapse of Earth from outer space. Check for the lightning! From Michael König: Time lapse sequences of photographs taken with a special low-light 4K-camera by the crew of expedition 28 & 29 onboard the International Space Station [...]
Our favorite Scottish Austinite ( Sandy Carson ) was on hand at the Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin documenting it all. “All” includes – Wrestling, BMX, Slayer, Fork in nose, assorted bands and more. Check out all of his pics HERE.
Put This On: LBJ Buys Pants from Put This On on Vimeo. If you’ve never heard this recording of President Lyndon B. Johnson ordering a pair of Haggar pants over the phone, I highly recommend it.
Given the fact that I’m wearing Vans right now, and have done for most of my life, this post seems mandatory. I don’t know how often people think about the founders of any footwear brand, but given how influential Vans was and still is, I think this post is completely justified and respect should be [...]
Into Infinity is an art and music exhibition by Dublab and Creative Commons which combines audio loops and “visual circles.” Since 2008 the exhibitions have taken place in Japan, but earlier this year they released a digital exhibition and the result is excellent. Audio loops are randomly paired with 12″ vinyl-cover sized pieces of art, and [...]
This is old and you may have seen something similar before, but damn this shit is too good not to watch 65342899675 times. If you haven’t, behold the wordsmith that is Mike Tyson!!! So many amazing lines.
Poler’s “about” page pretty much says it all: POLER CAMPING STUFF makes sleeping bags, tents, bags, and accessories that is simple, good looking, well designed gear for people that are travelers, couch surfers, regular surfers, skateboarders, snowboarders, bicyclists, parents, kids, car campers and anyone else looking for something that looks good, is a good value [...]
Handmade Portraits: Liberty Vintage Motorcycles from Etsy on Vimeo. Adam Craver is an old school dude with a motorcycle shop in Philadelphia. This is an inspiring video of him talking about his bikes, his independent shop, the appeal of vintage stuff, the fulfillment you get from working with your hands, and his concern that America [...]
Here is a trailer for what looks to be a full length documentary style movie about building motorcycles and riding them. Starring BMX OG Kim Boyle as well as Max Schaaf and Eddie Cleveland. Edited by Davey and filmed by Michael Schmidt.
Tech Spec is my new favorite image blog… Like I said to Nuno this morning on iChat, it makes me want to buy a bunch of “gear”. Found via The Fox is Black.
What can be said that hasn’t been said already. It’s tragic that he died at such a young age and the first thought that went through my head when I heard about him passing away was… He can’t die yet, he still has so much to do! To be alive and experience what Steve Jobs [...]
I seriously contemplated about wether or not to post this on here for about 10 minutes, then said fuck it! Here you go, 22 minutes of Juggalo fandom. The only thing I know about Juggalos is that they’re normally clowned upon (seriously, no pun intended), so I was up for checking out this new documentary [...]
This is a great little video series for people like me who were educated in the U.S. public school system and sometimes feel like you didn’t learn anything in school (especially how to spell!! haha…). Each video is about 1min long and funny as shit. Keep reading to see the rest! (via doobybrain)
To say that Apple / Steve Jobs has changed our world and the way we live (for better or worse) would be an understatement. You don’t get to where they are without some out of the box thinking and some erratic behavior. Check out the 10 Commandments of Steve Jobs. via – the daily beast

Devour has turned into one of my favorite places to waste time… If you haven’t checked it out, it’s basically just a random collection of dope/funny/crazy videos. For some reason, it took me about five times of visiting the site to actually click on this video, but this Slo-mo MotoGP video is CRAZY. The video [...]
