Addict Riders Matt McKeen and Alex Peasley Super 60

Yep...two more Addict riders made another Super 60. This time it's a couple of street bosses...Matt McKeen and Alex Peasley. Recently Alex and Matt have been in Europe filming for the Addict "So What" Video...which is to be released in the future. They decided that while down there, they would do a Super 60. Check it out below, and click the link below to see fellow Addict Riders Maxime Legrand and Jean Yves Randriambelson's Super 60.

Jandiv and Maxime Super 60

Addict Team Shredders Alex Peasley and Matt McKeen Super 60 for Inside Scooters from Addict Scootering on Vimeo.

Inside Scooters Super 60.

It all started as an idea from a long passed msn conversation between myself, and Jordan Jasa. We bounced this idea off many, many people, some supporting it heart and soul, some being majorly skeptical about the amount of people who would be interested in watching, filming or participating in this exclusive series.

As the series of video's has progressed, and names such as Jackson Manzie (First Super 60), Chris Gascoigne, Josh Toy, Monky Mcmoran and Javi Trepat (From Barcelona, Spain) have released ground-breaking tricks, stylish flow and often some token buzzer-beating finishes (Josh Toy's super 60) all crammed into 3600 seconds of pure bliss, although i'm not sure the rider could say the same. Participants have described the super 60 as one of the most physically demanding experiences they've been through, bar none.

All this in account, the Inside Scooter's "Super 60" was intended to be an exclusive video, portraying the riders we offer to participate, or simply could not refuse to watch throw down for 60 minutes.
We would like to take back this aspect of the Super 60, re-creating the "invite-only" nature of this feature video.

Some interesting facts about the Inside Scooters Super 60.

-21 people have been involved in the making of super 60's.

-Of the 19 hours of riding that has comprised the super 60 series, we've been blessed with 66 minutes, 11 seconds of glorious riding.

-Collectively, the super 60 series has been viewed a grand total of 32551 times.

We don't want this to deter people from wanting to take the challenge of the "Super 60", no sir. We at Inside love our Super 60s deeply, and wouldn't trade them for the world.

So if you'd like to participate, don't hesitate to send us an email at
steven@eagle-sport.nl, or we'll get in contact with you personally, offering this opportunity to you.

Sponsor Me Please!!!

“How do I get sponsored?” It’s one of the most common questions in the sport of scootering. We hear it all over the place. Whether you are a Pro rider and are being asked by a fellow rider at a park. Or if you’re on your favorite forum and see the question popping up in threads. It seems like a huge majority of riders today are focused on one thing and one thing only, How to get sponsored.

But what happens once you finally get that sponsorship? I think there are mainly two kinds of people who try to get sponsored. The most dominant would be the rider who is looking to get free stuff, and not have to pay for a certain part or product anymore. The other is a rider who truly appreciates the product that the certain company makes, and wants to get free stuff, but more importantly, wants to represent that company to the best of his or her ability.

What I think most people fail to realize about sponsorships is that it is a two way relationship between the sponsored rider and the sponsoring company. A sponsoring company that cares about its riders will take care of them. When they need something, that company will do their best to get it to them. The company will support their rider as best they can. Now in return, the sponsored rider has to also do his part. Which is what most sponsored riders seem to forget. A lot of riders that got a sponsorship figure, “Hey, I’m sponsored now…I get to ask for free stuff whenever I want” And they basically figure they’re living the life. What they don’t understand is that while their sponsoring company is doing their job, that they too have a job to do. That job is represent that company. This can be done in a large variety of ways. If you use a forum, you can put your sponsoring companies logo/link in your signature. At skateparks you can take the time to represent your company by talking to beginner riders about the sport, and your sponsoring companies products. Most importantly, at competitions you ride your sponsoring companies products, and represent your company by wearing their T shirt.

The problem I see with most sponsored riders today, is that because our sport is growing so fast, and more and more companies are popping up, riders think it’s ok to gather up as many sponsors as possible…get free parts, and leave it at that, with little to no dedication or respect towards those companies. There have been numerous reports and incidents of sponsored riders selling their sponsor products to other riders behind their sponsors back. Which ends up showing a complete lack of respect to the company, and leaves that rider with a bad reputation and grim future when it comes to being picked up later by other companies.

There have also been a lot of reports of companies who have treated their own sponsored riders wrong. Companies will promise a rider a lot, and that rider will do it’s best to represent the company, and in return…gets little to nothing back. What I am trying to say here, to not just my fellow riders, but also to anyone that owns a company and is reading this, and has sponsored riders. Is that a sponsorship between a rider and a company, is always two sided. It is a relationship between the company and rider. If you can’t connect with your riders, and they are simply “there”…you are going to have problems. Change this by reaching out to your riders and getting to know them, and the same can be said with sponsored riders. Are you on a Team/Sponsored and know little to nothing about who sponsored you, or who makes the parts you ride? Well you have a mouth don’t you? You can email can’t you? Get to know your Sponsor! Ask questions, make suggestions, start a relationship or better yet a friendship.

With the sport growing the way it is, and companies constantly looking for new riders to represent and endorse them. People really need to open their eyes as to what being sponsored really means. There are companies out there right now like MaddGear, where as everyone at SD4 saw, are like a small family. This doesn’t have to be limited to just them. But in order for things to work out how they should, a lot of people need to step up and reach a new level of professionalism and maturity. So next time you ask the infamous question “How do I get sponsored?” Ask yourself another question right after. Do you even know what being sponsored means?

DSA Australia's Adam Rouse New Street Video

Adam Rouse, mostly known for his park riding and insane tricks like quint whipping spines and 180 whip front scooter flip to fakie scooter fakies...is def. not a park only rider...And proves that yet again with another street video. Check it below.

Jackson Manzie Web Edit

Soooo sick. Such nice style and originality, especially from an Aussie (no offense Aaron). That (tap?) bar manny 270 footjam to tiretap bar really did it for me.

Nate Wagoner: Super 60

One of my favorite riders from the NorthWest, Nate Wagoner. Such a clean rider, always lands everything super smooth. Check it.

Ben Grantham Day Edit.

This is such a legit edit for a day video.
Ass-slide over the hip was original as hell.
Song/edit are great too. You know, i didn't have plans for that song either.. *rolls eyes*

Tyler Bonner.

As soon as you hear the name, the word banger starts bouncing around the head.
This video is a perfect example of why.
That second clip is basically the cleanest front wheel trick i've ever seen.
And from what i can tell, this seems like throwaway. My lord are we in for a treat with this eagle video.

Addict Rider Matt McKeen Interview from Barcelona

As Addict is continuing to be on the rise with much help from it's Team of some of the sports best riders...It is impossible to ignore that they also have the sports top street rider, Matt McKeen. I recently caught up with Matt while he was in Barcelona with the Addict Crew and got a short interview in with him. Also check out the exclusive pictures we got for Inside-Scooters of Matt in Barcelona.




Steven: Mr. Matt McKeen, How have you been dude?

Matt: I been aightt pretty busy with school but i major in film so its
chill, doing some riding whenever i can. Same old Same old.

Steven: It seems like you've always been sponsored or on Teams from places outside the USA, why do you think that is?

Matt: Well my moms from england so I went over there a lot growing up, thats
how i met martin and tery which helped me out getting on micro then I
met Johann and Kevin when i went to montreux for micro, chilled with
them Maxime and Jandiv the whole time and then ended up leaving micro
when they started french id, and then the same with addict after
french id fucked us over


Steven: So now you're on Addict, how do you feel about that? And how do you feel about Addict as a company?

Matt: Im so hyyped on it, we've been through a lot together so it feels more
like a family than a team. Everyones down to get gnarly, party, chill,
blazee, travel, pretty much anything. but as a company I expect big
things, addict is completely rider based so there open to anything I
say. they dont fake, if they say there gonna do something it's gonna
be done, everythings super legit. plus the whole vibe of addict is
what scootering needs, its all about having fun and getting gnarly.


Steven: In the last edit we saw of you, you had some clips of you on a shred sled. Should we be worried that you are going to move on to Skateboarding, much like old OG riders Mike Dies and Kevin Vannauker moved on to Bmx?

Matt: hahah naww ill always be a scooter duder, skateboarding's just mad
fun, i get a lot of my influence from skating. no one else really
rides where i live cept for a couple people so i skate with the homies
every now and then. im down for anything, you give me a bike or
blades, ill ride it. i think thats why i scooter, its like a mix of
everything.

Steven: So you're in Barcelona right now, what's got you out there?

Matt: On a little euro tour with Addict to film for So What, (another super
legit trip Addict promised) its been wild. Barcelona is huge, soo
many spots i cant even keep track of them all. But at the same time
its been kinda shitty, too many god damn thieves. I woke up the other
morning to hear that our car window was smashed in and my scooter plus
Sebastien's (our filmer) laptop was stolen, and then the first day i
was here Maxime and Kevin got their bags stolen out of the backseat of
the other car so they've been in the same clothes the whole trip ahah.
But we made up for it, lots of footy and pictures and good times
chillin in the streets till 4 in the morning.


Steven: What can we expect from Matt McKeen in the future?

Matt: Hmm probably another dream team part, and the part for the addict
video. gnarlier riding, bigger rails, unseen tricks, yeeeee.


Steven: Any last words dude?

Matt: boner.



There you have it guys...When you have Matt McKeen calling out "bigger rails" and "unseen tricks" I'd say that's a big reason to keep an eye out for future stuff from Matt. And you can see it all as soon as it drops here on Inside-Scooters. So for all your news and updates on Addict, and the rest of the sport. Keep checking Inside-Scooters.

Jordan Jasa - Winter video.

Just because he's a writer, doesn't mean he shouldn't be featured on here.
Watch this video and honestly tell me he isn't one of the top riders in the world.
Ridiculous tricks, confined spaces, combos for days.

KC Corning/Stan Smirnoff Video

Wowowowow...KC was straight up KILLING it. Check that tuck air...proof that an old dog can learn new tricks! Haha. Stan's 360 whip was so nice too.

Sky High Update

Check it out, click the pics to see em in full size. Also don't forget that the District decks are still available for pre-order, and 4.5 Phoenix decks will be in stock this week.

Dominator Scooter Accessories Cambo Fork

DSA is well known for making some of the strongest forks in the sport, and with the new release of the Cambo fork, you can rest assured you're going to get the same DSA Strength and a great looking fork with options for compatibility.



The DSA Cambo fork gives you the option of switching between threaded or threadless .120 wall steel fork tubes. You also have the option of using an aluminum .125 wall threadless tube, for those of you who are looking for a lighter option. The fork tube screws onto the top of the forks, and has a set screw that keeps the steer tube in place after you have tightened it down. So if you are a rider who only rides threaded like a lot of riders do...you can go ahead and buy the Cambo with a threaded fork tube, however since it is interchangeable, if at anytime you want to try threadless, you can make that change easily. Below are some pictures of the fork so you guys can get a better look. It comes both in black and natural aluminum, custom colors are also available upon request.





For more information and for other DSA Products, head over to DsaScooters.com

And for more news on DSA, and all news in the sport of scootering keep checking Inside-Scooters!

Eagle-Sport AUS Team Rider Jessica Boland

New edit from Eagle-Sport rider Jessica Boland, looks like it might be a day video. Other sponsors are District and SkaterHQ. Check it.

Nick Strickler Flatland Edit

Nick Strickler Flatland Edit from Nick Strickler on Vimeo.

Just when I think I've seen it all, as far as flat on a scooter goes...I see this video. Nick Strickler first caught my eye when Brian Boston posted a clip of Nick doing a hitchhiker. This is true innovation, this is legit BMX style flatland on a scooter. Huge props to Nick, hes a pioneer for sure.

Footage from Hyphy Jam 09.

Filmed and edited by Andy Rhode. Some pretty sweet stuff in there, I've always wanted to go to one of these jams.

Super 60 with Josh Toy.

Watching this super 60, it's really nice to see an OG still progressing and pushing himself to learn new tricks. (I'm also a major sucker for mini-ramp riding, so that was a plus) Josh is now married and is still riding to the best of his ability, if that's not commitment to the sport, i don't know what is.
Keep shredding Josh.

Andrew Broussard Bites the Big One.

This pretty much confirms what we all thought went down a few weeks ago, when a thread popped up on a forum with rumors of a scooter rider dying on the megaramp. Well we later figured out that it was Andrew, and of course that he didn't die (I forget what exactly happened, just some knocked out teeth and stitches I think). So crazy of him even trying that though, you Aussies better make it to the Nitro Circus shows, its gonna be a treat.

BLT Reunion Sesh

All of these guys are such beasts...3 tuck to whip? Really Brandon? So awesome to see Levon riding too, he doesn't seem to have missed a beat. And teehale, 3 bartwist? Nutty.

Michael Goumaz Eagle-Sport Sponsor Video

Working for Eagle-Sport, I get a LOT of Sponsor videos from a lot of riders all over the world. Recently I got a video from a rider from Switzerland by the name of Michael Goumaz...This video is sick. One of the things unique is that Michael is riding a Micro XT. If anyones ever ridden one you know how heavy they are. Great video, Great rider.

Eagle Sport Edit from Michael Goumaz on Vimeo.

Sky High Update

Pictures pretty much explain everything. Make sure to preorder one of the District decks so you know you'll get one once they're out. And as you can see, Sky High shirts (which are SUPER soft), Eagle shirts, and DSA shirts are also available.

TheRideWire Is Here

So after some speculation as to what TheRideWire.com even WAS....It has finally been made public. TheRideWire is a new Forum for the scootering community and is owned by Brian Boston. Brian was a long time Administrator on Scooter Resource before eventually leaving to pursue his own Forum. Brian and a number of Admins from SR have left the Forum, and you can now find them all on TheRideWire.com. The Forum just opened today...and with the amount of registered members growing by the hour make sure you are a part of TheRideWire.com, Register, Log In, and start posting.

Vs., With Devon Garcia

"Vs." is a new feature I'm starting up in which I ask a rider "________ vs. _______", and they pick one and tell us why. The pleasure of having the first Vs. is with Visalia, CA's own Devon Garcia. Devon is an upcoming rider who recently got a spot on the Scooterzone Am team. Here is his Vs, enjoy.

Eagle wheels vs Proto wheels: Eagles deff because Ive had bad luck with Protos.
Or you can just get Twizzlers :)

Lucky deck vs. TSI deck: I hate high headtube angles so Tsi freestyler.

Ryan Williams vs. Coedie Donovan: Ryan becouse he is amazing and super chill in real life, plus the best accent ever?

Cali street vs. Cali park: Cali park yeah said it :)

Josh Kish vs. Tyler Bonner: Pick a harder question?
Id say Kish becouse he win's basically every comp and front flair?
Wtf?

And lastly, SR vs. TRW: I'd pick anything over SR because its drama resource so I'd have to with TRW because it's gonna be amazing.

And if you can(I promised mark I'd shoutout to him haha)
Thanks Gas for Scooterzone sponsorship and a free scooter :p
Scooterzone wins.
And a shoutout to Mark Abramsky, Nick Donotelli, Trevor Noller and not so much Tyler wheeland.

Brent Reid - Super 60.

It's definitely a nice change to see a different style than the general Cary/Stan/Tyler that we get from Woodinville videos.
Brent's style is fluid, but raw at the same time, clean tricks, rough around the edges.

Eagle-Sport Australia Update

Which means we have opened applications for all riders in Australia to try out for Eagle-Sport in Aus. Eagle-Sport will be accepting Applications until March 30th.

Some top companies in the sport have also decided to sponsor the event, those companies are below.

Below are the flyers which include the date and skatepark the Demos will be held at.







So if you are in the area, and can make one of those demos...I would advise going. You can meet some top pro riders, and see some amazing riding. Also be sure to personally thank Anthony Twan Bustos for putting this together.

Get to Know: Jake Show

Jake Show is not a name most people know in this sport.  Despite being in the sport since 2003 (although he took a 2 year break), seeing footage of him has been a rarity.  Recently, however, he’s had some clips in a few videos.  He was featured in the friends section of the 951 DVD, and was interviewed for the upcoming SD4 Experience DVD.  Jake describes his own riding as “unique”.  He combines skate and BMX style with slowly rotated whips, and flowy park riding with big airs.  Some music Jake likes to listen to would be Atmosphere, Big L, Biggie Smalls, and lots of East Coast rap, especially when riding.

I got to know Jake a little better by asking him a few questions. 

Jordan Jasa:  What is your age, birthplace, and current place of residence?

I am 19 years young and I turn 20 april 15th. I was born in Riverside Ca, and I reside in Nuevo Ca.

Where and whom do you like to ride with?

I love to ride and flow around Big Chino & Desert Hot Springs. Both parks have good size tranny, hips and lots of creative lines to choose from. I ride with my buddy Jesse who is sick on a scooter but for now he is cruising a bike.. 2 riders I love to ride with are, Stan Smirnoff & Monky.

Who are some riders you look up to?

Stan Smirnoff for sure, Coedie Donovan, Jason Beggs, and of course those crazy Aussie's.

What makes your riding stand out from the rest?

One thing that would separate me from al ot of riders would have to be the fact that I care more about style and consistency rather than tricks. Another thing would have to be my tailwhips. I try to throw them super slow and land as late as i can. Lastly, you will never see me throwing any briflips or scooter flips. =pppp

What are some places you'd like to ride, but haven't?

Woodward would have to be first. I just found out where the Pala full pipes are so I’m gonna be hitting those up soon. Chandler bike park seems killer. I really really want to fly to Washington for 2 weeks and just ride as many parks as I can and possibly meet up with some guys from TSI & RAD.. in my opinion it couldn't get much better than that.

What is your current setup?

TSI 1 peice deck
         Proto Tank Bars
            Proto SCS
     Cane creek S3 headset
     O.G Inward zero offset
             ODI grips
  New Proto Gripper wheel in back
  Stan Smirnoff Sig. Wheel in front

If you weren't riding scooters what do you think you would be doing today?

Hmmm, probably playing the drums a lot more and working more than I do now. But I like this sport way to much to just give it up, I’ve been having so much fun lately, I can't see myself quitting anytime soon.

 

What is something most people don't know about you?

Who I am. haha, I have been riding before RVM1 came out and never have released a single edit!
But that is all about to change, I'm going to be filming with Josh toy soon for my first ever edit and it's going to be called "Who is Jake Show".

Any last words?

First of all I would like to thank Inside for the interview. =]  And to TSI... I'm not stopping til i get sponsored =]]. I love your team and how you guys are revolutionizing the sport. I never want to ride another deck again, so I thank you as well. Lastly, I thank anyone who was interested enough to read about me and look at my pictures =]]] even if you were just bored ill take that too.

 

Keep checking IS to catch his video, I’m sure its gonna be rad.

Eagle-Sport US Rider Tyler Wheeland Promo

If you've all known Tyler as long as I have, it is really awesome to see how far he's come in scootering....To be honest my first memories of Tyler was how I viewed him as just some new little kid So Cal rider....but it didn't take long for Tyler to start coming into his own and developing his own style, and it really shows in this video.........For god's sake..look at that last wall ride..

Tilt Park Pegs Review

Tilt Review from Jordan on Vimeo.

Intro by Sam Short. After reviewing the pegs I asked the company owner, Collin Snoek, and 18 year old college freshman, a few questions about Tilt.

Jordan Jasa: What city is Tilt based in?

Collin Snoek: Grand Rapids, MI

Why/What cause you to start Tilt?

I loved riding my scoot, but Razor parts kept breaking on me. I also saw the need of other riders for quality scooter parts. On top of those, I simply enjoy designing and producing parts.

How did you first pick people for the team?

I'm not sure if I even picked the first few people for the team. They just kept bugging me until I sent them parts.

Whats the process like from the first drawings of a peg, to the final product?

Perhaps the biggest part of the design process is finding what other riders want. For example, about two months ago, Mario Rocchio and several other riders were bugging me for steel, 1" diameter pegs. I am now releasing heat-treated 4140 steel pegs next week. In addition to riders testing parts, I do a good amount of testing such as breaking parts and material verification.

Do you have plans for any other products?

Next week I am releasing the steel pegs. Following the new pegs, I am releasing a series of one-piece machined forks. I have a few other products I'm planning to release before summer, but I don't want to make any promises.


Collin also wanted me to add that he's looking for more riders to sponsor...I know theres no shortage of riders trying to picked up by companies, so send in your videos kids. Also be sure to check out the Tilt FB Fan page.

Double Backflip- Gary Ably

Some random, looks like it was at the Woodward camp. Its 1 footed in this video but I guess he did land a few. So nuts, props to him.

Ty Alexander/Jake Clark Super 60

Two of the NW's younger rippers recently filmed a Super 60, and here it is. Ty's 540 bar owned the whole video. Hes def fun to watch.
