The Los Angeles Dirt Park Collective

March 25, 2015

Here’s one we spotted over on Can You Dig It! There’s some momentum moving to get a public dirt park in Los Angeles and here’s the promo video they put together with a few familiar faces putting some real valid reasons out there! Check out then video, then go sign the PETITION and then give their Facebook Page a “Like”!

“Southern California has played such a vital role in the the growth of BMX and Mountain Biking, yet the city of Los Angeles fails to have even one bicycle sanctioned dirt park. There are, however, 52 public skateparks in Los Angeles, but only a handful of them allow bikes.

Our goal is to create the first ever publicly funded, state owned dirt park in Los Angeles. A place for the BMX & Mountain Biking community to call home.

Help us make this dream into a reality by signing the petition.”

Props – Issue 57: The Shadow Conspiracy’s “Kidnapped” Commercial

March 25, 2015

Damn… This takes us WAY BACK! It’s crazy that this appeared in an issue of Props over 10 years ago already! This was one of the first ads for The Shadow Conspiracy before anyone really knew anything about it, or what it was. Needless to say, a commercial like this really caught a ton of peoples attention and it’s been going strong ever since! So psyched it landed online…

Who can name all the pros from the original team featured in this video? Let us know in the comments!

“This was a wild ad from The Shadow Conspiracy that appeared in Props Issue 57, circa 2005. Shadow team riders are kidnapped and tortured by being forced to watch mainstream media propaganda on a television set, only to be inexplicably set free to wander a warehouse where they are ultimately drawn to the very television they were being tortured with. Probably the first time an Issue ad reached this level of cinematic action, featuring a dramatic theme, lighting, camera moves and acting from riders.”
