| Thirsty ThursdayESPN's TRUTH TO ME with MAT HOFFMAN.Click here. Ty Morrow and Dan Lacey always bring the goods in Federal Bikes web videos... see? Nigel Sylvester still on the grind in another vimeo exclusive with 13thwitness(TM)... Smoker Dave and Drew Hosselton put out another good video. Always good to see what they're up to. Moose? From VoiceBMX? Kid kills it... Fit's King's Ride Shop Jam video. Watch all the SoCal dudes get down... It is my great pleasure to announce to you, the introduction to the movie RAD... in HD... Channels: BMX Chocolate, But For Your Feet! If you thought Nigel Sylvester was going to lay low after immense exposure in the past few weeks I'll be blunt with you... you're wrong. After dropping his Because I Grind Tour web videos all over the web, doing a Vital BMX Q & A video, being featured on MAESTRO KNOWS of vimeo with his bike shop, and re-releasing his Mirraco signature frame this year (which looks better than ever)... Nigel is still on the grind releasing his signature Nike MAVRK shoes (AVAILABLE NOW!) The coolest thing about Nigel's release of his new shoes is that they are a serious sneaker collector item. This one isn't just for the ratty BMX kids trying to sport their favorite rider's kicks. The 'Chocolate' Mavrk shoe has shown up on popular fashion websites such as High Snobiety and Sneaker Files. The shoes are officially called "Chocolate, but for your feet." At least I think that's the full name. I suppose it's appropriate to abbreviate these shoes as simply "CHOCOLATE."  400 pairs were produced and so far I have only heard of them being sold through DAN'S COMP. So hit up Dan's to order because they're available right now... Look at me, getting ahead of myself. Let's talk sneakers! Let me start off with the interior (yes, I said interior like it's a luxury automobile). When we're talking fashion forward sneakers you can't go wrong with purple. It sticks out but at the same time it isn't sticking out too much like lime green or preppy pink. The interior's diamond pattern reminds me of a nice jacket. Nigel is from Queens, NY and some would say he is the BMX King of Queens so purple and gold are only fitting for his signature shoe. Of course the sole is designed for BMX usage. Sticky gum soles to hug your pedals tight. This is especially important for all you plastic pedalers out there who need the extra grip to avoid the slip. The shoes are also extra flex so you don't feel like you're wearing blocks on your feet that are just sitting on your pedals. You want to hug the pedals with your feet to achieve maximum control of foot placement.The tongue strap keeps the shoe tight on your feet so there's no wobble and you won't have your shoe fall off when you take a dive. That doesn't look cool kids, seriously. Did I mention some of the materials used for these kicks are ostrich leather and crocodile leather? This is truly a King's luxury pair of sneaks...   FRIDAY!!! in BMX... Jaumell Campbell (Macneil Bikes) has a bike check up on the site. He is riding the new Deuce Deuce (22" long) frame for his tall a-... I try to avoid the pro bike checks (or any for that matter) but Macneil builds are always so clean so peep the gallery... Long story short... Davey Watson is in this video so watch it... Nike did some fun little video projects with Nigel and Garrett. Pretty cool looking, check it out... Dan Lacey (UK styleNflow masta...) has a new edit for Lotek Brand up with Seventies Distribution. Lemme break it down for you... huge 360s, weird looking tucks, and some guido-esque UK dudes... watch it. THE MAKING OF STAY FIT... TWO!!! Sort of a rundown of the big names. Mike Aitken? Uhmmm... somebody talked about his "PART." What does that mean? Wonder what episode ONE will be... official trailer? Channels: BMX Nike 6.0 is "Beating Gasoline..."Being an avid bicycle rider myself, hey that reminds me I should make a video, I enjoy the bike ride to and from work (this office). Passing LA traffic and laughing at people in beamer convertibles completely stopped trying to get home. I get my daily exercise, I save loads of money, and apparently I am saving the Earth... the benefits are wildly obvious and I find it strange I see about one or two bikers during my daily trips and a THOUSAND CARS! from rideBMX: "Press Release: The Nike 6.0 BMX team is fighting gasoline consumption by doing what they love: riding bikes. What' (TM)s your Beat Gasoline story? Nike 6.0 has teamed up with Beat Gasoline to encourage youth to use ' When I' (TM)m on my bike cruising through the city, I feel in synch with The Nike 6.0 BMX team is a crew of four diverse riders: Dennis Nike is rewarding the best Beat Gasoline video entries, based on For more info on the Nike 6.0 BMX team and their Beat Gasoline mission visit www.nike6.com or upload your video to www.beatgasoline.com."
