Jim Newrick: Hit the North (Part I)

March 27, 2016

/ H Man

Don’t call this a come back by any means but could this be the rebirth, the V11 (or 12, can’t remember what we were un to last..) of streetphire.co.uk? Who cares but what I do care about is seeing a good edit now and again and James Newrick has came through with the goods. I know he’d been filming for quite a while and I had started to wonder how many months we’d be waiting to see something drop and then out of no where I saw this on the net this morning and it’s sick!

Putting together Part I of a possible multi-part series of web edits, Newrick has released Hit the North, a 10 minute edit of fast riding with smooth Jazz vibes, hitting up all types of street across the UK and Europe with solid appearances from The Count, Cookie, Pete Greaves, Newrick himself and then a whole shit load of others including; Clarky, Olly Olsen, Tim Evans, Adam Peterson, Conor Bedford, Leo McKenna, Dan Crossley, Richie Goff, Marv, Tom Sanders, The Roops, Wozzy, David Maughan, Dchum, Tom Bright, Connor Worthington, Marty Meenaghan, Mouse and Tom Kilcoyne (my fingers are starting to bleed..)

Nuff reading, start watching and spread the word.

Jim Newrick: Super Monaco

Just saw this via Cookie. I knew that Jim had been filming for a while on a new project, he’s always got his footager out with him, the trusty VX1000 and his latest addition to the team the VX1 (Hi8 3CCD camera). This is looking so sick, it’s only a 46 second trailer but i’ve already watched it twice and no doubt will watch it a few more times.. Buzzing!

Can’t wait for the premier, keep your eyes and ears peeled over here for more updates or check out Jim’s Grey Haven Tumblr

Throwback Thursday: Mass Transit London

April 20, 2013

/ H Man

My apologies for not putting a TT the other day, so in an attempt to say sorry i’m putting up two photos for the price of one. Back in 2006 when DFTU was running the streets and bedroom industries were all the rage a small clothing brand called Mass Transit were having a road trip in London. The trip consisted of Joe Fox, Marv, Mouse, Mike Mills, Dan Cox, Cookie, Will Herman, Ratty, DFTU Steve, Baz, The Mitz and Rhys “McFleece” Coren. I wonder if anyone has the video online from the trip? Ratty??

Anyways here’s two snaps for you from that time, the first one is of Cookie doing a x-pegs smith at St Pauls and the second is over Mouse doing a wall ride to table in some playground down in Laaandaaan. Enjoy.

Cookie – Feebs

Here’s our first bike check with The Make BMX rider Martin “Cookie” Cook. He’s been riding hard up and down stairs and clipping every curb in a furious attempt to get a pinch flat with these new Animal tyres he’s been running but they still are holding up. Is this the end of pinch flats? Read on to find out what else he’s running and some photos of all the details, including his amazing hand painted graphics that he did repping his sponsors.
