- Have a safe and happy new year everyone!
But please, don't drink and drive. Apparently some idiot didn't know how to call a cab and took the lives of 5 innocent people on I-280 last night. Use your head.

- Biker Ben made this video of Juicer and Nate Powell riding Chenga57 in Lorain last night.

- Session at Ray's tonight, be there or be... lame.

- If you haven't seen "From Nothing" yet, you oughta pick up a copy. There's a new trailer up on the Micreation site right now. The video is worth the money just to see Tony Neyer's huge tailwhip gap, and all the other bangers that Doug left out of the trailers.

- Props to Pat McDonagh for these shots...

- The video above is some raw footage of Greg Goldberg riding Season's new "Big Berg" bars. Any of you that are fans of wide bars might wanna check 'em out. I'm stoked on the first clip of the barspin down the Col. White stairs. Greg is awesome.

- Last update I hinted at some plans for a public park in B.G., well here's the layout. Stay tuned to this site and www.bmxohio.org to get more info on the project as it develops.

- In a couple of recent videos I used some music by a band out of Cincinnati by the name of Pomegranates. Some of you commented favorably on the music in those videos, so I thought you might like to see this too. Pomegranates recently did an in studio performance and interview on WOXY and you can download the whole thing at WOXY.com.


Pomegranates guitarist and lead vocalist Joey Cook pullin' out a nose manual at the Miamisburg skatepark. Circa 2005.

Joey Cook rules.

Kevin Sanchez and TyPoll69420 came to dayton. So we drove down to ollies skatepark and had some fun.

- Go to NonStopVid.com and check out this video... a dude tries a freaking saran wrap down a huge set of stairs!

- The new Shook trailer for "Like Totally" can be seen at www.defgrip.net. Take a look, this installment will feature riding from a few people you may or may not have seen on this site in the past: Troy Merkle, Charlie Crumlish, and Dave Thompson. Not to mention Shawn "Elf" Walters and Garrett Reynolds who will also be in the video. It's gonna be good. Keep an eye on the Shook website for the full trailer.

- I've uploaded all of the photos from the Jam for Jake to the Perspectives myspace. So go here to see them: myspace.com/perspectivesbmx.
Thanks to Taylor Foiles and Sean O'Brien for hookin' up the photos.


Kris Kelly flippin' the big box.

Smack hippy hoppin'.

Scott Steele kicks ass. He went big all day long and went home $50 richer for 360'n the box jump to flat!

- I think "Scared to Look?" is a very appropriate title for that video. With a part like Josh Suhre's I'm sure there were many times during filming that I would have been scared to look myself. Josh Suhre is a killer!

- Speaking of videos, go to Rise Above tomorrow night to see the premiere of Mutiny's latest video, "Stoked on Being Pumped." I really cannot wait to see this video. The Mutiny team rules, and Joe Simon has the video skills on lock!

- Check out this trailer for "Nobody Special." If you're into it you can buy a copy from Albe's, Dan's, Empire, or bug your local shop to order it from Blackout Distro. The video looks good.

- The Jam for Jake was awesome. I think it was a pretty successful event that managed to raise over $1,000! A ton of people showed up, and I'm pretty sure everyone had a good time. I know I haven't had that much fun on my bike in a long time. It was awesome to see everyone there. And I'd just like to take the chance to say thanks to everyone that did show up, especially everyone that bought raffle tickets or donated money. And thanks to everyone behind the scenes that put everything together and made it happen. It was an awesome day with nothin' but good vibes all around.

- The "One More" mix tape video can now be seen on google video as well. I uploaded it there so you could download it for your video iPods. Check it out here.
