Spotted this gem over on Flat-Matters. Check out Richard Reichel laying down some wild flatland riding at his local park. So much balance and control. This is awesome. Check it out!

Adam LZ – A Day Riding Florida
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!

Video Recap: 11/19 – 11/25
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!
Ryan Navazio on Better Standard Definition Compression for Vimeo.
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 – Dan Mentzer Edit
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!
