This is the kind of riding we like here at TractionMag. Greg Illingworth is doing it right.

Dedication

Or stupidity. But lets go with dedication, as this author was out there riding as well.



17 Degrees is too cold for most people to accomplish even the most mundane of daily tasks. Slater's list of chores happens to include riding bikes no matter how frigid the weather(and convincing others to join in). The beauty of the low temps is twofold; the jumps are frozen solid and faster than a buttered Porsche, and the local kiddos are locked away inside playing Wii or something, leaving the trails clean and quiet.



Get off the internet and go ride!

Mike Aitken is a beast!

His riding is impressive, most impressive.

Tough jeans call for tough riders. Press play, observe the carnage.

Baltimore Bmx Contest

For those of you within the vicinity there was a contest today at Carroll Park. It appears to have been a "melee" format. No serious injuries caught on tape. No groundbreaking tricks caught on tape.

Mutiny Web Video HD

"So fresh and so clean!" At least that is our take on HD. We think Mutiny Bikes agrees. Here is the latest offering from them the 2008 Mutiny Bikes Web Video.

Best Line: "I got the police breathing down my fu@ki# neck"

Us and Them

Good guy, Rich Wilson sent us over some info on the new BMX flick entitled "Us and Them" The video is superbly shot and edited, displaying some clever angles and tricks wrapped in an exquisitely designed package. Trials star Eddie Tongue makes himself seen for a part and monster rider Javier Ortega has one of the more memorable sections shot in Spain.  The trailer is littered with some gnarly crashes and if that is any kind of hint as to the trickery that is attempted, it will be a blast to watch.



Other junk brought to our attention, Atomic Zombie by is an outfit that knows how to go to far.

Bachelor Pad

He may sleep in a coffin but...

Matt Beringers House
is quite the site, he has decided to remove all of the typical symbols of oppulence and strip it down to its most bare essentials. He has dedicated most of his time and energy into the grounds of the property. He has created an oasis in a sometimes desert of modern landscaping. He has been enable to capture the true essence of what it is to be Matt Beringer. In short, superbly awesome!
Check out the vid.
His backyard boasts a water slide, sans water.

Federal Video

I see from the previous post that you all have met Jeru. He might not have formally introduced himself but I am sure you see where he is coming from.

The Fed's are at it again with a new video offering from the Cologne, Germany trip. You might have to download a DIVX player to watch the goods but it is well worth it. It highlights some superb riding and some really excellent riding spots.

Insane in the Membrane

The "Fit" crew have been up to no good at Heath Pinters house. Moto trails on 20 inch!
Mike Aitken is a retard with the footplant! Chase Hawk is special-ed with the altitude.
Loss for words.

Might I mention Chase Hawk is brakeless...

Stoked on being pumped.

Yeah what he said...Stickers with that phrase were plastered all over Sin city during Interbike. Mutiny has a new video project that is soon to be released. "Stoked on being Pumped" not only offers great riding but superior editing and camera work this is truly on par as being a BMX movie rather than just another bike vid. There flick is shot in HD and will be available on Blu-ray as well as DVD. Drops November 7th, Holla.

Verde BMX

Defgrip on the loose!

Harrison over at Defgrip has been pulling his hair out. The site went down for a bit when the domain name expired. The company that currently owns the name need to invest in an answering machine. The site has moved to DefGrip.net so you can get your fix on all things 20 inch.
