Oh wow. This is seriously loaded up with a ton of heat. Don’t skip this one for sure!
“I was lucky enough to be able to visit my sister during thanksgiving break down in Florida. My good friend James Harvey was super nice and drove me over 6 hours to two different parks, indoor Merrit Island (Pardise Skatepark), and outdoor Daytona (Bethune Point Skatepark). It was one of the best times I’ve had in a while and we have the video to show it!” – Adam LZ
Looks like Dravin Hallford was sitting on some real quality footage from last month. Take a peek!
“A couple sessions at the Scion park in Lewisville, TX. Watch as Alex Hammett & Dravin Hallford shut down the park. Keep an eye out for the solid goldies throughout the vid. This is an edit you don’t want to miss!

The madness of the “Holiday season” is starting to kick in. This past week brought on a few food comas due to Thanksgiving, people going ape shit over deals at Wal-Mart on Black Friday, and now we’ve got a full recap of all the best edits that dropped in the Daily Section that you might have missed due to everything going on. Strangely enough, we have ended up with 13 edits again. I’m starting to wonder what the hell is going on with that. But let’s take a peek already!
Higher quality export.
Original version.
A few years ago, VX footage was pretty much the best quality footage you could get online, then HD quickly took over the world and the quality of footage that sites like Youtube and Vimeo were able to playback increased dramatically. Now days you can get footage that is so crispy and clean it almost looks real. However, a lot you BMX guys still stand behind the VX and there’s no doubt that it still produces some amazing quality.
When Ryan Navazio was finishing up the new Cult “Talk Is Cheap” video, he started playing around with settings a little more to increase the compression quality of web videos and he ended up finding a pretty easy trick to get a little more quality out of the VX. Hit this Link to check it out. Above you can see the differences in the video he used as an example.
Hyper‘s Dan Mentzer recently spent a day at the Reid Menzer memorial skatepark stacking some real good clips. Here’s the video that came from the day for you to check out. Give it a look!

The Gimme Dat crew are back at it with a fresh new edit. This time around they’ve got some fresh clips of Thijs Vervaeck, Jelle Harnisfeger, Davy Keereman and Bircan Birre Kareman getting a session in at the Truespin skatepark. Take a look!
The guys over at Honey BMX sent through this new edit they put together of Jarno Jaakola. It’s not the wildest edit, but it’s put together real well and Jarno looks like he’s having a lot of fun and that’s what matters.
““we are trippin so we will be there in a minute, skip the minute, skip the hour, you know that MC Chapee got that VX Power”
Nice opening line from a guy who sometimes acts like 40 year old family dad, but never lets you down from a thought that he is really an eighteen year old kid who happens to have really strong opinions about everything in life.
First time when I met Jarno he was 15, didn’t know much what to do with his bike, and were mostly cruising around skatepark. But that never caught my attention, no. It was this: He looked like the most shy and quiet kid in a skatepark, but I was so wrong. Jarno’s first sentence to me was “Hey, give me a ride to home”. No introduction who he was and he definetely didn’t say “please”. Later I heard he thought I was a cop…”
We gave you a preview of the new Mutant Bikes Owl hubs during Interbike in September. These unique hubs work on a sliding female axle which not only look really clean and work really well, it simplifies things and even creates a stronger female axle. In the video above, Nuno gives you a look at how quick you can install two hub guards and 2 pegs on the cassette hub and it also gives you a look at how the sliding axle system allows you to tighten both sides down by simply tightening one side due to the sliding axle. I believe these hubs will be hitting shops in early 2013 so start saving now!
“We designed and developed the Fe-Male system to maintain the look of a female hub with the possibility to use pegs without bending axles or breaking bolts.
With the Fe-Male axle, you can use 14mm pegs, but if you don’t use pegs, you just need to put the spacer washers.
To tighten the hub is very simple, just adjust the wheel by hand on both sides, make sure the axle is minimally centered and then give the final tightening with a tool in just one side, it will be properly tightened because the axle slides from one side to the other.
The advantages of the Fe-Male axle are:
Easy to tight
One single axle for a male or female hub
Stronger”
