A blog about wood furniture, gadgets and bicycles.

Bicycles

Hill Bomb


This looks like a lot of fun.


6,400 Miles with Ruben Alcatara



Some really awesome footage in this edit.


American Hand


Sorry for the lack of posts as of late. Had to post this up… American Hand is a series of documentaries, created by Jon Walley,  detailing the thoughts and processes that go into making American-made products. This video shows how FBM makes their frames…

Here is the description from the Vimeo page:

Joby Springsteen is a welder, musician & friend from Binghamton NY. He works for FBM Bikes, enjoys long walks on the beach, making his own music gear and eating Freschott pizza. Joby is part of a company that has grounded itself in DIY and American made pride since its very birth, people like Joby and FBM make us proud to ride bikes.


F&Y Wood Handlebars

Found these while browsing around. I’m kind of surprised that I’ve never seen any companies do this before. They are designed by F&Y which is based in Canada. They look really nice but I don’t know how much I would like riding with out any kind of shock absorbing material on the bars….


Madera – Tom Villarreal Edit


Awesome edit…


Blink Steady Bike Light

Finally someone has designed a nice looking bike light that you can leave installed on you bike when you have to lock it up. This light is waterproof and features torx screws so it’s harder to steal. The project was posted on kickstarter and has gone into full production, you can check that out here if you’re interested in picking one up. They start at $95 and feature an automatic on/off mechanism that is triggered by darkness, so once its installed you don’t have to do much besides change the batteries.


Empire Trailer

The video was apparently meant to be online yet, so I removed the link to the video. The video looks awesome, you should buy it. Go to the Empire site and preoder it.


Tom Dugan Etnies Edit


So here is the new Tom Dugan edit for Etnies. Even if you not really interested in BMX you should watch this because every single clip is ridiculous.


CULT Talk Is Cheap


Awesome trailer for CULT’s upcoming full length video Talk Is Cheap, which should be out sometime during the summer.

 


Empire Bowl Jam


Some awesome footage from the rebuilt Empire ramp. More super smooth film by Joe Rich and Ryan Navazio. This setup looks really fun.


Feather Cycles


Cool video from Feather Cycles that shows a bit of a very small scale frame production process.


Bad Timing Winter Promo


Here’s the Winter Promo from Bad Timing. So much good street riding in this edit.


Nathan Williams “This is United”

This whole section is completely crazy. I guess that’s why he won the NORA cup for it.


Woodgrain Bike Frame


A while back I posted a few pictures of hand painted woodgrain bike frames. While I was browsing around I came across the video above, which is a process video that shows the steps taken by Rob Pollock when he custom paints each frame. I would love to have this done to my bmx bike…

The video was made by Etsy and Rob’s Woodgrain Bikes.


Drew Bezanson Edit


This web edit from Drew Bezanson is completely ridiculous. The last clip is insane. Definitely worth watching, a lot of stuff I’ve never seen done before in here.


Found Wood Bike Workbench

This is a great idea.


Cinema X Feind Web Video

[vimeo http://vimeo.com/32772350 w=575&h=323]

I’m a little late posting this but its definitely worth watching. These guys are riding on a different level.


The Wall of Death


Saw this the other day as I was browsing around the web. Video is really well done. It’s about The Wall of Death, a traveling motorcycle show. The short film was created by Benedict Campbell who has done other motorcycle centric films, which are excellent as well. Check his vimeo page for more cool videos.


CULT & Federal Web Vid


So here is the new web edit/ UK tour  from CULT and Federal. The edit has a bunch of awesome riding from everyone you would expect. Some strong moves go down…


T1 Australia

[vimeo http://vimeo.com/29748504 w=575&h=323]

Another awesome video by Joe Rich at T1. What can I say… this edit is pretty amazing.


Wood Bicycle

Cool angular bike design. I don’t remember where I came across this but its worth posting. Also this exploded image of a ten speed is pretty nice.


Joe Simon Heli Cam


Joe Simon captured some really great footage at the new skate park in Austin. TX using a rc helicopter and a 7d.  Really nice to see bmx from new angles. Keep up the awesome edits.

Spotted on: Mutiny’s Vimeo 


T-1 Spanish Roast




Awesome video from Terrible One. These guys always are having a good time. The jumps look really fun…


Fox Team SXSW


Some good trail riding in this one…
