The Shape enjoying summer

Jmy — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 03:40:56 +0000

Remember the post a couple of weeks back of the trails that were destroyed by freezing winter? Here’s an edit by Mr. Shape a.k.a Fredrik Götesson, who’s one of the dudes maintaining those trails in his parents’ back yard. The clips are from this past summer, before the lip froze and collapsed. The edit fully gives off a great vibe and captures the joy of riding and hanging out with your friends. Enjoy!

Remember that you can see it in HD on the Vimeo page, there you can also download the full quality .mov-file if you like.

Trails disaster

Jmy — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 09:17:00 +0000

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…

Shape it up

My buddy Fredrik, who runs Theshape.se and digs a lot at his backyard trails, has summed up the events from his summer in Sweden like this:

Good Times!

Good friend Fredrik over at The Shape just posted his new HD-video “Good Times” that he finished recently. I’ve embedded it below, but if you want to see a slightly larger version go here! It’s a great video and I enjoyed it muchly.

Here’s the description from his Vimeo-page:

“Good Times — If It Ain’t Fun — Don’t Do It

A BMX video with mostly trails. You won’t see super many tricks in this video. Just some guys who like to ride and build trails.
It also contains alot of non BMX stuff, So you will probably be disapointed if you’re looking for a 100% BMX vid.
Oh, and by the way — It’s all Swedish. Click play and have a good time!”

The Shape webshop

My friend Fredrik over at The Shape just launched his webshop where you can buy some cool tees. He’s got some sweet designs up there and the tees are of really good quality, and they’re cheap! 120SEK (That’s Swedish money for you who don’t know) or around A$22. Free shipping within Sweden!

So if you want to own some really limited edition tees, go have a look, then make Fredrik happy and place an order!

More LHC

A while back I posted about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva in which I wrote about how some people actually think that it will create a black hole that will consume the earth. Today I got this link to photos of the almost finished LHC from Fredrik over at The Shape. Really interesting photos. The whole contraption is seriously massive and an incredible feat of engineering. I can’t wait to see what kind of research results it will produce.

If you scroll down to the comments you can read up on the debate about the LHC turning us into black hole chowder… comments like this one by BlueBlogger (#472) make me laugh:

“I agree with the first comment…this thing will kill us all!
Who ARE these people? How can they guarantee anything with confidence after their life has been spent in a fraternity of scientific minds who have been bent on inventing ways to kill humans for so long, their mindset has only one final outcome.….… destruction! These guys are no different than the one’s in the military who go around saying those horrible two words…“what if”.
EVERY single person on this planet has a differing electrical potential, on a minute to minute basis, because NOTHING stands still…only a vacuum!
Therefore, EVERY living thing on this planet WILL be affected by the running of this monstrosity!”

I just love his explanantion to why we all will be affected. It really makes sense…

Leftover trails edit

Jmy — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 02:43:02 +0000

Here’s a nice little edit from my good friend Fredrik over at The Shape. All leftover footage from the trails he’s got running in his parents back yard. Don’t miss the HD quality option if you’ve got a gonnection that can handle the bandwidth. Check the edit and then go check the site too. Fredrik is also a good photographer and has a bunch of nice photos on the blog. Go!
