Nigel Sylvester Makes Best Gatorade Ad Ever

The first in the trilogy, this Gatorade series does a day in the life look at Mr. Nigel.   I think the competitive eating comes out in episode two, it's either that or fight club.   
check the vid for a night ride thru NYC with Tyrone Williams, and Ralphys' Ramos & Bury.   Hot shit.


Foundation BMX NYC Swarm

And just because

Here's a vid of some vintage drag cars shot in B&W at 240 FPS. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em.

BMX grip camera, uh, grip



While we wait for the C2D RED camera to come back from the shop after it fell out of the helicopter we rented while covering the gulf oil spill, we'll be making do with some lesser technology, like piece of crap point and shoots borrowed from our parents. That doesn't mean we can't still shoot like pros. This handy (hah) DIY project will steady even the smallest camera. It only needs a few easily available hardware store items, an hour or so, and, of course, the willingness to look like a total tool using it.

Coolest Model Bike Ever

This is by far the coolest thing I have ever seen. This is an important bike as far as cycling history is concerned - but I must be honest, I don't know much about that. What I do know is that this is a 1:9 METAL model of a ridiculously detailed bike. I LOVE building models, so when I came across this on Prolly Is Not Probably I wanted it - but the 500$ ebay price tag for this collectors item pushed me away a bit, since thats about 25 of these model kits, which are almost as sweet. Anyway, enough talk, check out the pics.



Check out all the detail. Spokes, gears, tires, chain.

Bike Month and The City 2

Our C2D resident team of goons was sent out on a mission to vandalize the subway posters for two of the possibly most important events that are happening in the world this year - Sex and the City 2 premiere and Bike Month 2010.
