Nate Moroshan is one busy man. His official job in BMX is Primo’s Product Manager and Team Manager, two things that come with a never-ending to-do list. On top of that, Nate is also a great rider and part of the Volume team. In this video he talks a little bit about his job and what he does, some new products like the Josh Stricker plastic pedals and Dakota Roche foldable tires, and just how unorganized he is. Check it out.

The last Props Megatour was awesome. So it stands to reason that this Props Megatour in Europe will be awesomer, if that is a word... which I believe it is.

Nevermind... just watch the trailer.

Random Video of the Day - Malagna BMX Tour

Here is a video that looked pretty good even though I only watched the 1st 30 seconds of it because I am dead tired.

I live 2blocks from a crack infested area and some crack/meth head was going crazy outside last night and nobody called the cops for 30 minutes and I was too pussy to deal with him. Then when the cops came they called the EMTs and there was noise and commotion for like another 2 hours. So basically i got no sleep last night. This ain't NYC so I'm not used to that shit even though I should be because I live so close to it.

So if you have enough energy to watch this whole 5 minute video, let me know how good it was...

Com'n Thru Extras Mix

I've said it before... Tulsa has a great scene. When the Com'n Thru DVD drops you should definitely check it out. I have seen it and it's pretty damn good. Here's some of the extra footage to tide you over while your copy is in the mail.

9 minutes of street footage with some trails mixed in. Shredders include Standard riders Russell Wadlin and Drew York, Liquor and VClub's Andy Martinez, Aaron Renfro, Snafu rider Jeremie Infelise, Justin Coble, Miles Rogish, Sputnic rider Tony Malouf, Jeff Kluyiewicz, Alex Vasquez, Jared Hindman, Dylan Morris, Chris Curtis, and Joe Battaglia.

Video: Drew Hosselton on Vital

I haven't raided VitalBMX videos in a while and it looks like I am a little behind so expect a bunch of Vital posts soon. Very soon. Starting with this one.

Drew Hosselton's girlfriend left him. Then he gets in a hit and run car accident. Shortly after that his car gets broken into and some things get stolen, including his bike. A run of bad luck to start the new year but I have a feeling he'll have a new bike in no time and he'll be back to shredding soon. Drew is an incredible street rider from Phoenix, Arizona, and he and Kyle Carlson put in some time to produce this great all-street video for Vital BMX.

PEG TO THE SKULL - STEPHENS STORY
"its true!
but not such a good thing,
last weekend i was riding trails (saturday arvo), i nose cased the last in the line, thankfully with noone behind me, and went OTB. From that point, everything went wrong, i hit the dirt, the bike went up over my back and i got a peg to the head, and we all know that pegs are harder than a porn star on viagra.
Basically from that point, i just got up onto all fours, chucked off my helmet, while noticing a torrent of blood pissing from my head, like seriously pissing out, so off came the shirt and it went straight to the head.
I hung round for a bit, called my dad and he came to pick me up, i was ages from home though. When he got there some white shit was on my shirt, dad joked that it was probably brains, i'll get back to that later."

Pretty gnarly. Make sure to head over to zombiebmx and read the whole story. There are more pics as well.

Aaron Ross Leaves FBM

Aaron Ross will part ways with FBM. There has been a ton of speculation about this recently but now you can read everything. Aaron and Steve Crandall have released statements.

This is straight from the official press release:

What Aaron Ross wrote:

"So three years ago was the first time I ever talked to Crandall in my life. I was a scared little kid that wanted nothing more then to ride a bike and have some fun. I was nervous as hell on the phone and the big talk was all about if I would fit in on the team since I have never drank in my life. I did not know how well I would fit in and how road trips would go. Crandall talks to me for a while and told me all about the two Tony's and how they were not drinkers and by the end of the phone call I was on FBM and ready to go. So a few months later was Road Fools 14 and that was the first time I met Crandall and the rest was a blast. We had the best of times over seas and on road trips. I never had any idea bike riding would do what it has done, but I go outside ride like I am 12. I could not ever have pick a better team then FBM to get into this whole thing. We had the sweetest team with the two Tony's , Cameron Wood, Derrick Girard and Tag. I was able to design shirt with glasses on them, a Saved by the Bell themed frame with some bright colors and loved it all. Now FBM and I are going in different directions and we both are ready to accomplish new things. It has been one of the roughest months of the past few years because I have to move from a company that I have real friends, and not only Crandall, but Big Dave who makes the most kick ass bikes, John Lee who is the best person to talk too when calling up to the shop, John Paul who is just a funny guy, and Erbs who is a guy that has helped me out more then you can imagine. It’s been a good time the last 3 years and I would not change one thing. I want to say that I came into this all with dudes I saw while I was growing up and I am leaving with these guys as some of my best friends. I love all the dudes at FBM and my family and I thank all of those guys for everything the last 3 years, letting me have some of the best times, and I wish everyone at FBM the best of luck.

Have fun everyday!
Aaron"

What Steve Crandall Wrote:

"I think it was the winter in 2005 while on a road trip through Texas. I was visiting with Tom and Tina from Empire, and their first video was about to be released. Tina had mentioned one of their riders might be a good person to consider helping out. I saw a preview of the video, and was in shock as this kid riding a blue PW Moto was doing shit I hadn't seen before, and to the upbeat tempo of some country music - "If you're going to play Texas, you got to have a fiddle in the band". His name was Aaron Ross, and he walked to the tune of a thrown bicycle with a loose hub guard. Fast forward a few months and Aaron has gone from shop supported FBM flow guy, to a rising star rookie pro. Cranking out amazing video parts, with a line of Adam Roye inspired T-shirts and a pro model frame with outrageous graphics and color ways. The next couple of years ended up being a good time with Aaron growing as a professional rider, filming for various sponsors and road trips, traveling the world for various contests, and the like. This year all of the above culminated into a whirlwind of X-games podium finishes, breakthrough video parts, and a NORA win in Las Vegas.

With all of that, the offers started rolling in, to the point where FBM couldn't realistically provide Aaron the same things that another company could potentially provide. Our relationship was good, but it was obvious that more opportunity might exist by taking a different route. After a good talk, it was agreed that Aaron should explore these other offers, and see what's out there for him. As a sponsor, our goal was to support Aaron the best we could, and right now that includes letting go of an amazing rider, so he can do what's best for him. The results from our Sponsor/rider relationship proved successful, and a strong friendship remains, and I look forward to seeing what Aaron can accomplish in his next chapter.

Thanks Aaron, and good luck

- Crandall/ FBM Bikes."

Paris Hilton Jared Leto kissThe Brokeback Cowboy Heath Ledger died yesterday at the age of 28 of an apparent sleeping pill overdose. I would joke about it but the part that is not funny is that he leaves behind a young child that will grow up without him but I'm sure that child will have a trust fund based on Heath's money and the fact that he will no longer have to pay his $26,000 per month rent. All that $money$ might help smooth out the rough spots of childhood... or not.

Speaking of trust fund babies here is a picture of Paris Hilton and Jared Leto mourning the death of their fellow celeb. Pour some Cristal out on the ground for Heath...

F15teen Magazine just dropped and it's dope.

I'm really psyched on this web magazine because it features a different side of BMX. Let's face it, there's a reason that there are so many artists, designers, photographers and creative people in the BMX community... it's because BMX is a creative sport. This magazine aims to showcase those that have a role in the artistic side of our sport.

This first issue has interviews with Defgrip and MacNeil art director Harrison Boyce, photographer Chris Hill-Scott, and filmmaker Steve Olpin. There are opportunities to have your work displayed in the next issues and it's available as a download in PC and MAC or you can just view it online. It looks amazing and the content is great... the downloadable flash version even has embedded videos inside..SICK! I can't wait for the next issue already.

note - if you download it it will be an .exe file but don't worry it is not a program that you need to install. It just starts a Flash viewer. It's totally legit.

New Insight Ad

Insight Ad #7The latest Insight ad has come out. There are 7 total ads now and if you look back at all of them you'll see that the series has come full circle. The Latest ad looks just like the first except for the actual photo so I would think that means that this is the last of the series before the video drops.

I could be wrong though. Head over to Defgrip to see the ad fullsize and you can check all 6 of the previous ads too.

The Insight video will feature Mike Brennan, Jerad Washington, Davey Watson, Chester Blacksmith, Darryl Tocco, and Dakota Roche. Be sure to check it out.

I'm still trying to catch up with all my posts and news so a few of these might be a couple days old but i need to post them anyways.

Watch this video to see riding from Scotty Cranmer, Morgan Wade, Garrett Reynolds, Dave Mirra, Dennis Enarson, Corey Bohan, Chris Doyle, Mike Aitken, Dave Dillewaard, Josh Harrington, and tons more.

Video: Alex Liiv Scarred


MTV's show Scarred has clips from all different types of sports, not just BMX. As fun as it is to watch inline skaters rack their nuts on rails... I find that I am drawn to the BMX clips only because it terrifies me that something like this could happen to me or any of my friends.

That said, I am not hopping 24 stairs to flat. Or in this case I should say to a flattened face. Alex Liiv was bored one day and decided to hop a double set. His wheel totally collapsed and he tastes the pavement.

What I'm wondering is did he laced that rim himself or did he just reach the physical stress limit of that rim? Watch this and start second guessing your bigger tricks...

Classic Video Post: Ruben Alcantara

There are only a handful of riders that go as fast and as big as Ruben but some people may say none do it with such style. Watching Ruben ride bmx is like watching birds soar. Sometimes you get so used to seeing smiths grinds and manuals at 1mph that you forget how fun it is to watch the big stuff...

Brandon Hoerres Bike Check

Brandon Hoerres just built a new Mutiny Nocturnal so Gaz did a bike check. I like that Mutiny sprizzzocket that he's rockin. Read about Brandon's new whip here.

There's also some other pics of the 45th street ditch and the 5 hip ditch.

And lastly, read the Neil Harrington's story about how his cat Eden went AWOL only to be found 5 weeks later.

Don't forget to read the Brandon Hoerres interview if you missed it!

Video: Chester Blacksmith Scarred

Chester Blacksmith

Remember when this ad for the Insight video came out? You may have read about what happened to Chester Blacksmith while filming for the Insight video but he actually did an MTV Scarred segment complete with leg snap footy.

I came across this and just had to post it. Gnarly. I don't care what anybody says... BMX is way more dangerous than skateboarding.

Video: Formby Jay AKA - Jay Richardson

I met Jay and Neil when they were in Austin last summer on holiday. Both these guys were so fucking cool and just destroyed any spots we hit. I remember Jay eyeing up the Jefferson ledge for a minute then proceeding to go full speed at it, bunny hop up the curb, hop up the hubba ledge to tailwhip off... first try. I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more of Formby Jay soon as well. He's got a new ad in the current RideUK and then there's this video which is pretty mellow but sweet.

Ben Snowden really explains things very well going into detail about how to approach the trick on different types of ramps, your mindset and how to build your confidence.

So head over there to watch it and make sure to watch all of it because there's a bit of shredding at the end.
