Adrian — 3 hour session edit

Posted: December 24th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: BMX, Video | Tags: , | Comments Off

I cannot find the words to describe how much Adrian kicks ass.
Oh yeah, and this was fired out in a 3 hour session. Dialled!

Also looks like he’s picked up Nike 6.0 as a new sponsor (news to me at least).



Defgrip Tees

Defgrip is a rad site. They always have some nice feature up. Sometimes BMX, sometimes design, sometimes photography and occasionally even other things.
If you for some reason have missed that they have a store with some tees, then check it out now. I ordered one of those Quilted tees the other day. You can never have too many tees.



Tempered product update

Posted: December 19th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: BMX, Product | Tags: | Comments Off

Tempered Bikes are showing some new products on their site. The hard goods will be dropping soon with the 2010 release and the Electric Tee will also drop soon. Everything looks dialled and I believe it will all be a hit when it reaches the stores. That sprocket sure is something different design wise.

Sticker Chaos

Been slacking a bit with the desktop backgrounds. Seems I don’t change mine up all to often after all. Played around a bit and completed this one. Maybe one or two of you who read this will find it interesting.

See below for a preview, 1920 x 1200px version available for download in the downloads section.

Two videos I spotted on the Focalpoint website (I never get this stuff sent to me), that I thought deserved some more embedding. Enjoy!

First one is from Jake Deering and Jack Kelly


Second one is from Oli Zeffert and John McIveen

Klätterservice

One of my best friends in the whole wide world, Robban Källström, rather recently made some changes in his career. He went from being an electrician to working with what’s called rope access. Whenever you see dudes performing work while hanging from a rope in the side of a structure — that’s what he’s doing now and he’s been keeping busy. Looks like a pretty challenging and exciting line (no pun intended) of work.

Do you have a high building that need some overhaul or installations done?
Then check out the website of Klätterservice (Climbing services).



Trails disaster

Here’s a trails disaster of a different kind. The guys didn’t cover it because they wanted to let it set properly in the wet weather. Then Swedish winter hit and the lip froze and fell apart. This is just another reason not to live in Sweden…
