Schogn Lee from South Africa kindly got in contact with a fresh interview with contest machine, Pakphum Poosa-Art aka Toon for FM. Toon has had a great year on the contest scene already, making finals at Voodoo and Real City Spin back to back. Schogn catches up with him to see where he’s at, and learn a lil’ something about him. Enjoy!

I’ve been working hard on a big interview with Heresy’s Sebastian Grubinger over the past month or so, and am pleased to announce it will published this friday. Stay tuned!
Bruno had the idea for this xft crack to pedal steam switch for two years and it happened last night. Hit play to check this awesome clip out!
Alejandro Marques just dropped in the first entry for the AM video contest to win a free flight to Denver!
Alex Neuma lays down a short and sweet clip in Zaragoza, Spain to start our Wednesday posts.
True freestyle at its best, Rob Ridge does what he likes and destroys the spine at his skatepark, flatland and pretty much anything he touches without following any trends! Straight up BMX right here! Brilliant!
Always a treat to see Joel Schallhorn ride, always something a lil’ different to show, look out for the the x-up unwind whiplash to gadget whip barflip to switch foot steam around the 1:40! Good stuff Joel!
Matthew Buentiempo, Steve Woodward and Shawn White over at Bizhouse just built Trevor Meyer a custom new frame that Trevor is calling “Trev A Tron 3000”. Shawn was kind enough to send photos and a video beginning initial ideas from Trevor, Shaun’s CAD drawing, welding in the jig and finished product. As you can see, the classic GT front end returns that we all know Trevor used of many years, and a lil’ old school throwback with a CW inspired platform, plenty of room on this frame throughout which makes total sense for a guy of Trevor’s height.

During the Real City Spin finals we all witnessed a moment where Moto Sasaki seemed to be unconcerned about winning the battle with Matthias Dandois and more about nailing the trick he wanted. The trick in question was a hitchhiker kick flip to backpacker, many have already said Justin Miller already did it but if you look closely this is a different variation than Justin’s… Jim McKay put together this awesome edit of the trick go down plus the crash that resulted in Moto cutting just above his eye and continuing (2:21), this is Rocky type stuff, and as many have already said a moment they will never forget. Much respect Moto!
Check out this slick and stylish new “Five Links” edit from Austin Luberda, this guy is on the verge of going pro, check this edit out he just dropped!
