Video: Odyssey Electronical Trailer 1

The Trailer for Odyssey's new video Electronical is out and it looks good. The Etnies Grounded video was pushing the limits of BMX video production values. Soon after we saw the Stoked On Being Pumped trailer from the guys at Mutiny which pushed it even further with HD footage, greenscreen compositing, excellent editing and excellent camera work.

Will Odyssey's video be on the same level? It seems that it will be. The trailer looks awesome and they have an great team.

Welcome to the the next level of BMX videos.

Video: JJ Palmere Is A Madman!

Dude, I suck so F*CKING BAD! That's what you'll say after watching JJ Palmere's bio in Props 66. Trust me, you'll say it. This has been out for a while now but it I wanted to do a post on JJ Palmere because I think he is one of the most underrated riders out right now.

JJ's bio alone is worth the price of this video. And don't give me that bullshit excuse that you saw it on the web already... the web doesn't compare to watching it on a big TV.

For almost 5 minutes JJ Palmere takes to the streets and KILLS IT

He destroys it...

He takes the "life" out of every spot he shreds.

That's his style though. He hits it fast and he hits it hard. He flows with perfect control and seems to hop shoulder hight with ease. Ok, maybe not that high but i'm pretty sure he hopped over a Honda Civic... watch for it. And that last uprail to gap toWTF?! is insane!

Music of the Week: Jay-Z American Gangster

It doesn't matter if you ride with music or not. Music is a huge part of most of our lives. Personally, when i'm on the way to a spot or sessioning something alone, music matters.

This week i found some dude had this Pre-Release CD on his site... a couple of weeks early.

If you want to download it (ya know... for evaluation purposes) click here.

Spike Jonze - Defgrip

Head over to Defgrip to check out a post on Spike Jonze. They have a couple of his videos and stuff from YouTube in there.

You may know the name or know some of the stuff Spike's done but it really is worth checking out because his Filmography is insane!

I first noticed him as the director of the Blind skate video "Video Days". Then of course he started to come up after directing the Beastie Boys' video "Sabotage". Then in 1999 he won a bunch of awards for the Fatboy Slim video "Praise You".

In 2003 he directed most of the "Yeah Right" skate video which really took skatevid production to a whole new level. He incorporated motion control cameras, greenscreen compositing, and other special effects.

Well, here's a clip from Yeah Right that has Owen Wilson, Mike Caroll, and Eric Koston in it. There are no special effects in it but see if you can figure out how Owen Wilson is able to do a bluntslide down this rail.... Definitely worth a look (I promise it is NOT Owen skating)!

-- if you can't figure it out leave me a comment and I will tell you.
