The quote posted as the caption for this video sums up the essence of what is trails riding pretty accurately. Amazing spot and amazing video. Thanks Dave King!

A new edit of Mike Vockenson just surfaced on the Tempered blog. The clips are all leftovers from the video project Mike is working on at the moment.
Cooper’s got a new feature series called ‘Phototech’ up on the Focalpoint site. As the name implies it’s like a photography school of sorts. Should be useful for all you aspiring photographers out there — or for anyone who just wants an insight into the makings of a good photo.
The second instalment that covers ‘Depth of field’ is up now. Go check it out!
For a few weeks now this enigmatic thing called LUX BMX has been making its presence known on the net. There is a Facebook page and a blogspot page that does not really give too much information about what is going on.
Two hints have been made public so far, the first one is:
Lux hint #1: We are based in Queensland…

There’s also an interview with someone involved on the ugzine blog that was posted around the same time as the above hint. The interview may or may not fill in the blanks.
And hint #2, that does not say too much, was made public today:
I’m guessing we all have to stay tuned to see what it’s really about.
Oh mysteries!
Cooper just put up a new winter edit on the Focalpoint site.
Here it is in all its glory:
What can you say… It’s such a shame Jay is not riding anymore. He was truly gifted on a BMX bike and will stay a legend forever. I stole this video off TCU — because somehow everything is almost always up there faster than anywhere else and I doubt I would have found this myself anyway.
I cringe whenever I see this trick because we all know how terribly wrong it can go. But to each their own what they want to do on a bike, so here we go: The first ever double backflip.
Spotted this on the Colony website, or actually in my Google reader RSS feed from Colony, the other day. There’s now a Swedish rider on the flow team and it’s none other than Jens Kahlström, a young rider who is always progressing. At least that’s what I remember from when I used to see him riding at the Capital Bikepark or Skogås Bikepark back home in Stockholm, Sweden.
Congrats Jens!
Here’s a rather recent edit with Jens and his buddy Emil Eriksson from their vacation in Spain. Hola!
Here’s some footage from some of Jems’ lost tapes courtesy of ToadsBMX in France.
Adrian went on a trip to the south of France in December 2009.
Here’s an edit from that trip. I have no idea why I have not seen this sooner!
Adrian is a ripper!
Flagz just finished the latest Defero issue. As usual he did a very good job with the editing and the music selection. There are so many shredders here in Australia…
This issue focuses on a mixture of riders from around Australia along with a chilled jam at Sam & Lex Dowleys backyard ramps.
