COASTAL CREW – ALL MOUNTAIN EDIT

Posted on October 4, 2011 by Qamuuqin

Wow. The Coastal Crew always delivers, and this video is no exception. If this doesn’t make you want to get out and pedal . . . well . . . you didn’t watch it right.

MOUNTAIN IN THE MIST

Riders way | Mountain in the mist from VM PROJECT on Vimeo.

Found via ZLOG, this is an example of why I want to go back to school and study video production. This type of beautiful video is the sort that makes me want to go out and ride my bike.

EXPERIENCE ZERO GRAVITY – BETTY WANTS IN

Posted on September 18, 2011 by Qamuuqin

Experience Zero Gravity from Betty Wants In on Vimeo.

Soo I’m a little obsessed with BASE jumping. And wing suits. And the idea of flying. Although it’s something that I may never do, largely because my desire to remain alive trumps my desire to fly, it’s something that I will always wish I could. I know that many people BASE jump every year and only a small portion of them die, I can’t get past the “what if” factor.

So I resort to watching videos like this and riding my bike while pretending to fly. That is good enough for moi.

File this one under “daily dose of wow . . . “. Found via my friend Stephanie Lamorre, who tells beautiful and hard stories through film, such as Un si long voyage.

HAROOKZ SHOOTS DREAMLAND

Harookz Shoots Dreamland from Matt Butterworth on Vimeo.

Whoo hoo! First non-BMX post in awhile. I need to mix things up more, I know. Anyway, this is a gorgeous video and I’ve always been a fan of Harookz, so it’s cool to see a little “behind the scenes action”. Enjoy. Golden summer light . . . beautiful . . .

TIMELESS! MIKE AITKEN – ODYSSEY ELECTRONICAL

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Qamuuqin

I realize that I’ve been posting a lot of street-focused clips in the past couple of weeks. That’s not because this is all that I am into, but because it’s what I’ve been into more recently. There is some serious progression happening in the streets these days, both in BMX and FGFS, and that’s what I follow mainly. There’s something poetic about bring flow and style to the streets. It’s like forcing a circle peg through a square hole . . . it’s bringing “romantic beauty” to “technical beauty”, as Pirsig might frame it.

On this note, here is one of the best video segments of all time. Mike Aitken, savant of flow and style, killing it. This was right before his (helmetless) crash-induced coma and lengthy recovery period. He’s (thankfully) back on a bike now and probably working hard to enjoy it and get back to a level similar to this.

This is totally on it’s own level, though. No one can compare . . .
