Why do so many things have to happen over the weekend? Lotek posted a video of the clocktower. I am sick of seeing that place. But here's the link... lotekbrand.com

Bryce Toole is going to ride his BMX bicycle across the great states of America in an effort to see the world, explore, have fun, meet new people and see new things. This story is truly inspiring and I hope his journey goes well... Visit MADERAbmx.net and scroll down to his blog for more info...

Mike Aitken released this video (IT ONLY TAKES ONCE) to describe his nearly fatal crash, the aftermath, and the importance of wearing safety gear and not taking your life for granted. Please watch this regardless of if you like action sports or are a BMX rider or anything. This is a video for everybody and can apply in so many ways...



This is pretty cool. Heath Pinter seriously lives the dream lifestyle. Fixes up old cars for fun. Gets a Mitsubishi Evo 10 (if I could have any car in the world this may be the one). And to top it all of, builds a seriously big dirt jump to take a couple hits at. Could it get any better?



I do not know why this has no audio and is such sh!t quality, but either way Pat Casey is a really good (and young) rider whom we first saw at Ryan Nyquist's Warriors of Wood contest. This is his youtube video entry for the Gatorade Free Flow Tour and people are already pinning him to win the trip...



Chris Martindale, a rather new rider for Macneil, has a bike check/riding video here. Peep the new Alistair Whitton frame and Chris' stylish riding in this video...



Tim Wood is a vert rider from Australia. UNIT clothing posted this video of him to display his talents. This is good considering some controversy around X Games vert this year that may have cost Wood a shot at the finals. Apparently another rider cost Wood valuable time in qualifying in such a way that he did not make it. We are all hoping Tim will get in the finals of the next big contest and probably podium while he is at it...



It's rare to here of the BMX scene in Colombia. However, this should open your eyes and ears a bit... Cristian Porras. Double whip 3 second set, frontflip third set. GOLDEN...



What!? Ben Wallace, with no freecoaster and a regular ramp (no odd set up specific for this trick), lands the first fakie double tailwhip. Watch the video and understand...



I wish I knew French so I could take from this video everything I can. Learn nose manuals in this video. Oh, and also learn French so you can understand any of it... :D

Issue 71 of DIG is out now... the cover shot is in the photo gallery. It is a big wallie flatty one-footed mess by a dude... check it out.

Andrew Brady tweeted the weird looking picture in the photo gallery, what is happening is a frontflip superman. He slipped the pedals on the landing but got his ass on the seat. CRAZY!

Defgrip posted up a new colorway Lotek is doing of Eddie Cleveland's signature shoe and it is pretty... in the gallery.

And Fit has a new tee in honor of Mike Aitken, who is getting back on his bike after a bad head injury. Mikey RIPPING!!! I want it...

Here is a pretty web video of Terry Adams doing his flat thing. Enjoy the smooth tricks by Terry in wonderful H D courtesy of BUCK on Vimeo...

YEAH!!! Did you see that!?

(But seriously, fun times with Cory Nastazio to support some of our fallen riders making their return to walking and riding. Always a good cause. Check out TJ Ellis riding. Some Nasty of course. Nyquinch showed. Looks like Biz is in there and a grip of other dues, like 8 mile, getting bad...)

I am very proud to say two things. First of all famed street killed Mike Hoder is finally on a good team after a while of a jumbled lifestyle to say the least. S&M has hooked him up because only their frames can withstand the gaps and 360s and stairs Mike does. Fact.

And secondly, and most importantly, Mike Aitken is said to not only be riding his bike around once more but also hitting jumps. He's back! Everybody in the BMX community is so happy. Aitken is recovering from a head injury resulting in some loss of vision and other head traumas. He has been overcoming recently, however, after solving his vision problem mostly. And now that he is riding again, it is great. What more can I say? Thanks to everybody who helped him out in the situation.

As most of you know, Mike Aitken has been home for a bit now, heavily rehabbing to get back from the nasty bail he took in Pennsylvania in October (stay up on his progress on his site). Well, physical therapy isn't the only thing he's been focusing on - he's taken the opportunity to launch Vigilantia, a clothing company he's been kicking around for a while. His first product, a stylin' trucker hat, is already available at Utah's hot shop, 5050bmx. Head on over and pick one up for yourself, and knock a few bros off your Christmas list while you're at it.

You can also make donations to help with Mikey's staggering health care bills here. Tis the season...
