Review: The Backbone Video

Back in April we got the first look at a video project the Backbone BMX crew down in Australia were working on. The trailer, which kicked a lot of ass left us really looking forward to its release. Fast forward to the other week and the video was finally released worldwide. Our good friend Jon over at Can You Dig It got a bunch of copies to distribute in the U.S and he hooked it up with a copy.

That day came the other day and the video went straight into the DVD player. Here’s what we thought…

Review: We Are Park – Shiv Gloves
