Two rad videos from 2000, the Solitaire videos by Armin Batoumeni and Christophe Dassie ruled, almost like a mix tape of all the best riding from the year. 2000, what a year, X games, fly back for King of Concrete, ten years, seems like yesterday in some ways. Im drifting off here, back to the vids, great stuff from Trevor at the X games, and Alexis is shredding brakeless. Enjoy.

One of my idols growing up, Pete’s still busting in SF like always,an inspiration to all the older riders and perhaps younger generation (I can’t speak for them), nice back wheel combo from him here,enjoy!

Southsea locals video that Jon Pratt put together, lil section from myself when I was riding for Haro. Quite funny to look back at stuff like this. Thanks to Jon Pratt for sending this my way, and also the memories!

One of the best runs i’ve ever seen ever, the music added to it, check out this footage, I think everyone that was there would agree with me, this felt like it was meant to happen. Incredible run. Goosebumps again…

Interesting read on the ESPN site today, Roy Christopher writes about the lack of flatland coverage in the mainstream media, and why this occurs, for the most point, stating the obvious, still at least someones out there exposing flatland to the masses via the ESPN site.

Check this out! Tgm Maz has just dropped this, lil bit of background…Sam wanted to show a very progressive time in his riding career,and as hes not competing this year he wanted people to see this stuff, the three links that you see back to back, they were right as Mario turned the camera on! And the 7 infront of the bar whips to halfpacker backwards backpacker out, that was on a very wet day at tgm, pissing with rain, windy as fuck, right now i’d say this is one of the most progressive edits out there. Thanks to Mario and Sam for sharing this groundbreaking time in Sam’s career. Amazing!!
