THE MAKING OF CRAIG PASSERO'S FOOTBALL ENDER
Here’s an in-depth analysis of what went into Craiggo’s ender from his OSS “Football” section. This is a glimpse of the glamorous pro lifestyle we all enjoy. Check out Craig’s finished section below that, as well.
Bonus info, Craig is coming to Texas in 2 weeks to film with me for a Stranger DVD project this year. Boom.

JACK LEONARD SHREDDING
So Jack’s getting pretty good, but don’t tell him I said that. Anyways, I guess this is to cap off his 2011 year for his local shop To Wheels. Some pretty notable things in here and my favourite clips must have been the tire ride down the kinker ledge and that rail, 180 rail hop he does. Nose 3 up the steps was steezy too, not sure if I’ve seen that one done before.
BRANDON BEGIN WELCOME TO WTP
Fuck yea I’m stoked on this. WTP has been hooking it up with some real good talent scouting, from Greg Henry to Jeff Martin and now his little homie Brandon Begin. I gotta try to get to CT this year and film a Shark Attack section for FU666, even if it’s just to ride that spot that Brandon destroys in this. Looks so fun.
EDWIN DELAROSA DEFGRIP INTERVIEW
One of my all time favorites Edwin Delarosa has a dope interview up on DEFGRIP, hit that link and read up. That story about Hoder knocking out 5 dudes in a row is funny as shit.
FTK: NEIGHBORHOOD SUPERHEROES
Ok, let me start out by saying that this video has influenced my riding more than any other video, ever. I wore out Will Taubin, Ralph, Luc-e and Butcher’s sections by rewinding over and over on the VHS.
This video is full of classic shit:
Will Taubin doing one of the first overcrooked grinds down a rail
Ralph doing an oversmith on a rail (YES! YES! WHAT WAS THAT! WHAT DID I DO!)
full...
BRANDON BEGIN-INSANE KINKED RAIL
HO-LY FAWK! Just spotted this on Jeff Dupaul’s instagram, guess Brandon didn’t get it done but he’s gonna go back and get it. Fuck yes.
BNGR SZN
Some dudes out of CT sent this through. Some Shook-influenced filming and editing with tons of amazing spots and dope riding, particularly from that first dude who does the cleanest pegs switch 3 I’ve seen. Kinda reminds me of a freecoasting Corey Dewey. Stick around til the end to see a bananas gap to grind on a sketchy looking skatepark setup.
ADRIAN "GONZ" GALAZ DESTROYING SHIT
Holy piss, I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this guy. Super clean style and real creative tricks/spot use along with being an all-around boss make this a must watch. 180 crook half cab bar and that feeble over smith 180 cab barspin were fucking unreal.
Reblog if you've been told you have a nice butt.

PHOTOSPOT: JASON ENNS SHOT BY RYAN "BIZ" JORDAN
Really psyched on tonight’s photospot, check out Enns trying to get that scooter money while bizphoto.net snaps the pic. Fuck yea.
LAKAIROMANIA
Five minutes of flaming skateboards, why wouldn’t ya?
I’m in Texas right now and my friend BROOKS REYNOLDS is coming down to shoot something like this next month but with bmx shit. And more fireworks. That’s cool.
LUC LE GRAND ANIMAL EDIT
French ANIMAL team member Luc Legrand put together this edit in what looks like a few days and got an unbelievable amount of great clips along the way. The feeble to sausage to smith on the tall ledge stood out to me, A+ spot use.
DREW HOSS VICH
Holy fucking backwards icepick! That last clip is insane along with pretty much every other thing he does in this, really made me want to go ride.
Also, welcome to LOTEK Drew.

IT'S FRIDAY BITCHES
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRAIG PASSERO
So my little brother from another mother, Craiggy P is celebrating his 22nd today. Everyone hit up Craig’s FB and wish him a happy birthday.
BAD TIMING: WINTER PROMO
Daaaaamn… So much crazy shit from Darryl Tocco, Tony Hamlin, Randy Brown and more. Too much shit to name so click that bitch. CHECK THE SITE when you’re done.
BIKE PORN: CHRIS ORBELL
New feature on the site, well an old one re-branded. BIKE PORN will feature some of the finest bmx bicycles I come across fully spread and ready to get eyed up. First up is my good friend and pal Chris Orbell with his fresh gold and red Sunday Forecaster.
Hit the thumbnail of his whip after the “CONTINUE READING THIS POST” shit to check out the rest of the pics…

B-TEAM: 2012, EDIT 1
Lots of really great clips in here from a bunch of Northerners put together by four peg connoisseur Addy Snowdon. Make sure to check out his other B-Team videos HERE.
Spotted on the always fantastic flukelife.com.
THE WHISKEY WATER TRICK
The fuck?
DAVE WIN GOES DOWN
A bunch of FU’s are in Texas right now and we’ve been stacking heavy for fu666. Dave Wininger ate shit on a peg grind on a metal beam across a ditch, put his foot down wrong and twisted his knee. We had to say peace to Dave today, everyone’s bummed but I know he will bounce back quick. Get well soon pal.
SNOW BIKES DOING FAKIE BARSPINS
Toronto street riding Yoda Drifter Dave has been riding his custom designed snow bikes for a few years now. I just spotted this edit of his most recent footage on them and he’s absolutely killing it. Starts off a little slow but stick around to the end because he does a lipslide on a log, fakie barspins, fakie manuals and tons of other good shit, on snow.
Hit up his website to ORDER...
PHOTOSPOT: CHRIS ORBELL/JOSH LICHTI
Brad Hill and I shot these two art portraits a few years apart but now they’ve come together better than ever. Fucking weird.
FU FU FU
PAULY C. The Take
Simply put, Pauly Cvikevich (and don’t ask me to actually say this last name), is the man. When we went out to Long Island he was in town and proved to be down for just a good time. He happens to be an awesome rider too, so it comes as no surprise that this edit puts on. The last fence hop tree threader is pretty fucked up. Stoked on the edit Paul.
A RAT RIDING A CAT RIDING A DOG
Self explanatory-
HALFPIPE IN A TREE
Randomly found this online… so sick.
DYLAN STARK LEAVES OLD BITCH AT HOME, GETS NEW ONE
Dylan Stark has left his old bitch, The Take and found a new one. I’m guessing Volume, anyone else got any ideas?
This edit is so sick though, had to post it up. that last 180 whip is insane.
FREE OSS DVD AND UNION PRESS ZINE WITH FU5...
We threw up something called “THE SMOKIN’ DEAL” in the webstore, which means anyone who orders a fu5 will get a free copy of OSS: DNVR NGS and an issue of our new zine called Union Press. Hot damn! HIT UP THE FUSTORE HERE.
FTK: JASON LEVY
This might be the most important FTK yet… How many other riders can you name that have fired a loaded handgun while 180’ing a roof gap?
I remember hearing rumors about Jason Levy back in the days of the Aspire video contest. Basically it was set up so tons of riders sent in video sections and they were judged, then a DVD was produced with prizes given to the top 10. Think of an OG...

LARGE MEN RIDING TINY BIKES
This does not look real.
fuckin GRUVEy
Gruve is a local band (www.gruve.ca) and they helped out at our premiere for FU5: Guy Stuff. They kill it and they’ve been around and together for quite a while now, in or around 6 years. They also just released their 3rd album and they’re definitely evolving as time passing by. Eric, the bass player, rides and we actually are in the same program in college. So here’s a little...
ARCHIVES: JARED WASHINGTON FEDERAL EDIT
This shit’s bananas! How the fuck did I miss this when it came out in 2008? So much good shit, 180 whip cab bar was on point.
RETURN OF THE BARSPIN TO XRIDE
Harrison Forward and pals session a little prefab park in Nova Scotia set to a terrible song. Bunch of good shit including the first bar to x-ride I’ve seen since Jared Washington back in the day. Fuck yea!
GREG HENRY'S VACATION
Got this awesome lifestyle pal shot of Greg H yesterday… gettin his Chevy Chase on in Florida.
WE BACK
We blacked out yesterday in support of the anti-censorship movement and ESPN was cool enough to include us in their article that explains a little bit about what’s going on. From what I understand, all the support for the anti SOPA shit has converted 35 of the 41 senators needed to prevent it from passing. Nice! CLICK HERE to check it out.
