Pete Greaves: Bikes Against MDN

/

/

It’s been a while people, too long in fact but lets not ramble on too much when there are more important things to watch and learn from. 3 days ago Pete Greaves posted up this great edit made from spare clips he’d been gathering from the past year or two of travelling with his BMX, from around the doors to over the pond, it’s worth the watch. Along with the riding side of the video there is an important message at the start of the edit about Pete’s younger brother Dave, who he lost to Motor Neuron Disease last year. Pete has been actively raising money for the MND Association in many different ways from sponsored runs to climbing mountains and this time he’s dropped this edit to help spread awareness, and if you are up for it you can donate to the MND Association to help fund more research to one day maybe find a cure for this terminal disease.

Please give this a watch, donate if you can and at least spread the word around if nothing else. Hope you enjoy the edit.

NSFYC: Golden Trackies

/

/

Being on the road working for the past 4 weeks on movies and documentaries is taking it out of me and not being able to find time to ride is doing my nut in however the guys up’t North back at home are still out there and have been clocking some golden moments at the Wastey with the king of golden tracksuits Harry Dyson including riding from Pete Greaves and Jamie Curry. Check out the edit with music biting track by Dizzee Rascal which featured originally on Marv’s section of Joe Cox’s Voices. EIther way its a fun edit and makes me want to watch Voices again which the next post will be about said edit 🙂

Music:
Dizzee Rascal – Stop Dat

Unknown Parasites: The Leftovers

If you have a pile of leftovers on your hard drive then I suggest following chef Dchum’s line of attack and put them all into a large bowl somewhere on a PC in Sunderland and baking the shit out of them for a few days until you come up with a prime offcuts video as per edit below. Enjoy the main feature of the weekend, hope riding has been good and if you haven’t had a session yet then get the hell out there and do it before we loose what summer we have left!

Oh and the riders featured in this edit are Dchum, Cragz, Rax, Scott Thompson, Sam & Robin Watson, Ben Howgate, Bannan, Fletch, Pete Greaves, Jamieson C, Ryan Hendry, Greg Kew, Benn G, Logan, Jack C and Pfendty.

Sunday Sessions: Tails from the Weekend

/

/

Nope not the Weeknd the guy who said he didn’t rip off Portishead when its kind of obvious that he did (the beats in the song..) but the Weekend which went down recently (but not this one..).

Well im glad thats out the way, an over complicated intro to a fun weekend riding in the Team Valley area of Gateshead. Even when people say there isn’t anything to ride there, what they actually mean is that its pretty hard to find things when hit with the daunting task of a giant industrial estate and faceless corporation buildings but amongst all the crap there are gems, hidden places of beauty or in geek terms Easter Eggs (Microsoft Office ’97 XL for those old enough to remember Office 1997).

Sunday Sessions: A Random Couple

I’ve been pulling the fisheye back out the bag and dusting it off for a couple of BMX snaps and really there is not a lot more to say really. Enjoy the bright and punchy colours and some stunts and all that.

Jim Newrick: Hit the North (Part I)

/

/

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.

NSFYC2

It all went down last night, Newrick’s Super Monaco, T2S and the NSFYC2 vid all dropped on the big screen at the Companions Social Club up in Newcastle. People from around the UK had popped up for the party, the place was full, the pints were a unbelievable £2.40 hence lots of sore heads the next day and the venue couldn’t have been better for what was about to go down. Now I don’t know when Newrick’s video will be hitting the net or VHS or whatever fancy format these kids love to release things on these days but when it does become available it’s worth the watch. It’s got a real mix tape feel, it’s short and sweet, lots of good riding packed into 10-15 min edit, featuring some great riding from our locals; Olly Olsen, Cookie, The Count and of course Mr Newrick with a few guest appearances from Newrick’s mates from around the UK.

Both the T2S edit and Super Monaco had lots of old references to NSF days gone by with clips from The Unknown and NSF2 which kept everyone cheering from start to finish. Cookie’s T2S had a sick intro/first section and rolled out for about 10 minutes, can’t wait to see it again on the net when its out.

FInally and also first up last night was the NSFYC offering “NSFYC2” (aptly named) featuring all the youth from around the Toon and also featuring the Gateshead Wheelie Crew (GWC) who are currently having a Facebook off with the YC to see who is bigger and badder. Both of them in my eyes ruled and for your viewing pleasure and only one month late is the NSFYC2 vid.. enjoy!
