Video: Corey Bohan Trick Tip - Tailwhip to Manual

Just found this Corey Bohan trick tip. Whether or not you already know how to do this it's always interesting to hear how someone explains a trick. Maybe you're over whip to manuals and you would rather work on your Cranmer-esque "frontflip tailwhip to tuck no-hander... or whatever you call that trick you do into the foam pit but this video is still worth watching. Some people really suck at explaining things but it seems like Corey does a decent job.

Watch this video if you want to learn this trick or if you just want to hear his Aussie accent.

Jimmy Levan Benefit at T-1

Jimmy Levan Jam at T1
It went down this last Saturday at T-1. What went down, you ask?

Some great riding, awesome music, uber art show, and a lot of beer swigging all in the name of Jimmy Levan. Unfortunately I had to leave early to go to my little sister's graduation dinner but I had a blast while I was there.

Chase Hawk knows the T-1 ramp pretty damn well and it showed. He was blasting 9-10 foot airs on the second wall after dropping in. Aaron Ross rode the ramp a bit too. Other notables that were there - Joe Rich and Taj (of course), Tony Cardona, Joe Simon, Neil Harrington, James Shepherd (Homeless Bikes), Adam Baker, Ryan Smith, Rob-O, Andy Martinez, Sandy Carson, Devon Hutchins, Adam Roye... um that's all I can remember.

I bought a bunch of art there and I will be giving some away in a contest that i'm going to have to come up with. Email me if you have any ideas about what I should do.

All in all it was a good time for a great cause. $2000 was raised in total!

Head over to the Terrible One site for a bunch of pics.
There are a couple of pics on the Fit site as well.

Riding Music: Pre-Release Nada Surf - Lucky

Nada Surf - Lucky
New York based Nada Surf will be releasing their next album Lucky on Feb. 5th, 2008.

"The record is filled with songs of restlessness, longing and the elusiveness of love. Yet, in its inimitable way, the band beautifully counterbalances its signature lyrical wistfulness with its singular musical buoyancy. Intimate tunes become we're-all-in-this-together anthems, thanks to the chiming guitars, propulsive beat, and the ever-present yearning in singer Matthew Caws’ voice." -- Rolling Stone

The album features guest appearances by Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard and the Long Winters' John Roderick, along with singer/songwriter Ed Harcourt and Jesse Sykes guitarist Phil Wandscher.

I have always been a huge Nada Surf fan and this album doesn't disappoint. My opinions are usually guided by how something makes me feel because I'm an artist by nature. This album will make you feel like pedaling off to watch a sunset and ponder life... that's a good thing. Load this up and get touchy feely while riding your stunt cycle.

Get it on
