Scootfest Banger of the Week : Soly Bloomfield

I've seen videos of Soly before, and the kid is an absolute killer, but even I wasn't ready for a backflip to frontboard.. Check this out.

BENJAMIN FRIANT 2014 | °Can't Find A Name For That Video°

BenJ has already cemented his legacy as one of the best transition riders ever.  Every year he puts out multiple videos of epic riding.  This video felt a little different, with a few more laid back, funny clips spritzed among the bangers (perhaps due to riding more alone and not having a filmer around).  Nonetheless, there are some wild moves in here.  Check it out.

Tyler Bradley ADVCT Promo

Tyler kills it, except when his foot and ankle are broken.  Unfortunately right now his foot and ankle are broken, so he can't ride.  Tyler decided to drop these clips for ADVCT and start fresh on filming once he's all healed up...just madness.  I don't know how he slid that back lip on the brick ledge, or how he did that front board on the kinker.

5Starr Scooters California Dreamin Tour

The 5Starr Team has a lot of really talented riders, and recently went on a tour across California visiting various spots and parks, as well as numerous dealers of their products. They were lucky enough to once again have Olivia Monks behind the camera taking care of the filming and editing, and this edit came out superb.

The Scooter Farm presents "Farm Jam '14"

The Scooter Farm recently held their first ever Jam.  They had a crazyyy looking setup for it, pretty much just a death box/rail thing.  Somehow a bunch of dudes managed to throw down on it, and this is the footage.  Looks like a successful jam for sure.

Arnaud "Warneup" Marchenoir Spring 2014

You know, with most "unique" riders, you get to see original riding, but they usually lack in style or other departments. Arnaud is not that kind of rider. He has the style to make all of his technical tricks look really good. This is easily his best edit to date, and it is now one of my favorite edits I've ever seen. So many original tricks to go with his original style. I literally found myself saying "What!" out loud like 4-5 times in this edit. Arnaud worked really hard on this one, so give it a watch!

R.I.P. Tyler Bailey

The Canadian scooter scene isn't very big, which means they are all a very tight group of riders, and recently they lost one of their own. Tyler Bailey was recently hit by a train, and killed. This has impacted the sport, and especially the Canadian scene, as he was a huge part of that. Very sad to lose such a young and clearly, very talented rider. To all you guys, especially my closer friends, I always say be safe, and I say it again to all of you guys. Be safe, on and off your scooters.

ScootFest Banger of the Week : Dylan Morrison

Always cool to see the Banger of the Week clips from Scoot Fest. The following is from Dylan Morrison, who I am going to go on record and say, will be the World Champion, and beat Dakota this year at Worlds. He throws down a flip whip drop in, which I don't think I've ever seen before. Check it.

Bobby Rivas Interview

Bobby Rivas rides for Fuzion, and we recently got an interview with him that you guys can read below. Fuzion has been around for some time, and they've had their ups and downs for sure, but having a rider as talented as Bobby is a definitely plus. Kid blasts gaps all day long. Check out the interview below.

You recently qualified to compete in the ISA world competition, how does that feel?

Feels fantastic! I'm glad I'm able to travel out of the US for riding a scooter, it's the greatest feeling in the world for sure!

How have you seen the sport progress since you started?

From bolted foldys and hot glued plastic core wheels to one piece decks and metal cores, It's crazy! It's amazing how much the sport has progressed over the past 8 years.

Do you have any edits or video parts coming out?

Well Me and Brett just came out with a quick video (Check it out at end of this interview!), planning a big video sometime this year with him and Fuzion!

 

 

What trick took you the longest to learn?

Definitely the Cash roll.

 

 

What’s that ONE song that get’s you hyped up and ready to ride?

50k by Waka Flocka!

 

Who in your opinion pushes the envelope in the sport right now, or who are you always watching to see what they are doing in the sport?

Of course Dakota Schuetz and Ryan Williams, its incredible how much they've pushed the sport and progressed lately, it’s unreal.

 

Fuzion has pretty solid team of riders right now, what is it like traveling and touring with those guys?

It's great! Nothing better than going out and riding with good friends for a few days.

What is your current set up?

Fuzion grips, District al-2 bars, Fuzion triple clamp, Fuzion integrated headset, Envy IHC forks, Z300 spoke wheels and I saved the best for last, the Fuzion Z300 deck, light, strong and durable.

 

 

 

What makes the Z300 different from some of the other brands?

Stands out more than any other deck, the concave on the deck is amazing. It's also light weight and durable, not like most of the other decks out now. The way it Locks and slides is amazing. It has grooved sides so it's great for any finger whip tricks or grabs. The new Z series Scooters coming out this fall will definitely be an eye catching, just wait on it!

 

 What do you like about Riding for Fuzion?

Everything! They give me the opportunities to travel and much more, it's the greatest thing in the world

MGP Flat Scoot Quarter Final Games 1, 2, and 3

The Quarter Finals are under way, and first up was Chunky vs Tommy Christiana. Definitely two of the best flat riders on the East Coast. But this game was shockingly very one sided.. Check it out below.





Game number 2, was the reigning champion, Jeremy Beau vs Alex Lopez. I was shocked to see Alex try a flat triple heelwhip, you don't see many riders that can flat triple whip, and flat triple heel. It was a close game, but the better rider won, and he is most likely going to the finals.





Game 3 was Jeremy Mallot vs Andy Nguyen. This was one hard to watch, as always, because of the filming. It was a quick game, and with this game ending, it sets up the Semi Finals which you can see at the end of the video.

My kind of park edit

Now this is my kind of park video. Huge airs, perfect transition riding, and not a flippy whippy trick in sight. Makes me wish guys like Dan Holm, or Stan Smirnoff could make it out to this park and film an edit with this guys. Inigo is a new name to me, but he has my attention, and I hope him and Pol Acena (Filmed and Edited) hook back up for another park edit soon. Great vibe, great edit.

Jake Sorensen at Soma West

Jake is probably the most underrated rider in the game right now. It doesn't matter what terrain he is riding, he will destroy it. I've rode with Jake, and seeing him ride in person, it's honestly messed up. The other thing is that footage of Jake is very very rare, but he recently went to ride the new Soma Skatepark in SF, which as you can tell is dominated by skaters. However, if there is one rider that can hang with a bunch of skaters, and not get shit, it's Jake. Peep the clips below.

Alec Backhus "Ankle Height"

It's called "Ankle Height," but what it really is is a welcome to video for Source. Alec has always been a part of the Source crew so it was only a matter of time before he was officially announced.   Spending time in both California and Chicago filming for this makes this a rad video spot wise, and Alec's got a unique riding style to match.  Props to him on the editing as well.

Lucky Scooters | Blake Bailor at Ohio Dreams

Daddy only got a minute of footage at Ohio dreams, but it is a quality minute.  270 back lip 270 fakie, uprail briflip, half cab board, everything was sick.  Makes my day seeing footage of this guy.

Alchemyst x Haske

Wow.  This is one of the best videos I've seen all year.  From the riding to the filming and editing and everything in between.  Filming with an HVX/Xtreme is no joke and Inaki Gil handled it like a man, props to him.  This is filmed in Barcelona so of course the riding and spots are amazing.  I really wish more people would take the initiative to film properly like in this video because that's really what scooter videos are lacking now.  Gonna be watching this multiple times for sure.

Featured riders are Dani Cardona, Javi Trepat, Damia Araujo, Pablo Fernandez, Yago Navarro, Max Sabartes & Aleix Aguilar.

ADVCT x Rox Hill

ADVCT boys Blake Bailor, Evan Yamada, Ian Herncjar, and homie Andy Koke recently hit up Rox Hill plaza and produced this edit filmed by James Gee.  Everyone was killing it.  Ian should take a break and let the rest of us catch up.

Lucky Scooters | Evan Yamada Ohio Dreams

Evan's style on a scooter is classic.  Control on his front wheel, on rails, and he throws in a big ol 360 down a gap too for good measure.  What I'm wondering is if the world will ever see another full-length part from him.

Elliot Arnold with "The Stealth"

The Stealth is a new AO deck that the guys have been testing for the past six months.  These are some clips Elliot has been stacking and they are good.  Elliot kinda surprised me with a few tricks in here, getting tech with it as well as those gnarly handrail clips we're all used to seeing him do.  It's sick to see people starting to do fakie manuals now.

Kaaden Bewley Certified

Kaaden is always out getting more clips, and this video is a mix of park and street footage.  There are some dope clips here for sure.  Last trick was a gnarly one.

The Harvest is Coming

The Harvest is a full-length video being filmed in collaboration with Speak Apparel and Bamboozle Distribution.  The above video is a little teaser of Ben Bursell getting broke off.  Aluminium rails are no bueno!  Yikes.

Baytage #2

If you haven't already heard, The Bay goes hard, and so do all of it's riders. From the Hella Grip homies, to the Concrete Crew, and everyone in between. These dudes kill it. I've had the privilege of riding with a lot of the people in this edit, and believe it or not, most of these guys are even better in person.

Also, if you are ever in The Bay, Anton Abramson would be more than happy to film some clips for you so you can be a part of the next Baytage!

THE TILT VIDEO - Josh Young + Interview

Josh Young, originally from Corunna, Michigan, moved out to Vista, California a couple years ago to work for Proto.  During that timespan he, along with the rest of the Tilt crew, filmed for their full length video called "The Tilt Video".  Tilt premiered the video at SD7 to a full house in January and is now dropping the parts online.  This week Josh's part is being released, so I hit him up to find out a little more about his part and to see what's up.  Check his full section at the end of the interview.

First question: Your part in the long awaited Tilt Video is dropping, how does it feel?

Pretty crazy, I'm just hyped that the whole video is going to be online for everybody to see. Now I can just tell people to go on youtube and type in The Tilt Video and they can see what we're really about

How long did you personally spend filming for it? Do you think overall the video lived up to the hype?

I would say I spent 2 years filming for my part. Pretty much started when I moved to California. Seeing how there wasn't to much promoting the video it was just kind of a lowkey thing like people knew we were filming but no idea to the extent that we were going. Nobody seen any of the video until the premiere so I was looking forward to seeing it just as much as everybody else. I was hyped on it.

Yeah I was gonna say, this is your first part since moving out to cali. What's it like filming out there vs the midwest?

It's super easy because I pretty much have every spot living in southern California but its hard because so and so did this on it or somebody is at the spot or there are to many people to ride it. In the midwest its like OH SHIT A SPOT?! Pretty damn good chance to that nobody has even touched it or thought about filming a clip on it haha.

There are definitely advantages and disadvantages to each.  You used to be big on being the filmer, I remember when you were such a camera fiend.  And we all know about the tattoo.  But I kinda noticed you took a backseat on filming responsibility during the Tilt Video, why was that?

Being the filmer means your not riding. I out of everybody had I'm guessing the least amount of footage for the video and when your the filmer it's hard to ride the spot. Plus I'm picky about how I'm filmed so if it's going to be filmed bad I'm not even going to try to film a trick. Having responsibilities sucks haha I just want to have fun and ride and not think about anything on trips. But being responsible gets you where you want to be haha

True.  You still are always one of the first ones to be like "yo lets get the camera out" and just taking care of the cameras.  Is this the last VX part we'll ever see out of Josh Young?

Hahaha hell no I got something in the works right now that I'm really hyped on. I've just been trying to have fun and film whatever and not stress as much. But andrew did just give the go ahead to get an xtreme fisheye for the proto hvx so I'm looking forward to filming with that setup!

Fer sure.  HVX/xtreme is a monster setup.  What tricks were you most psyched on in your part?

The first trick in the part is like a warm up trick but I was trying 180 dub whip to fakie out of the manny and I knew I wasn't going to land it so fuxking around I just whipped the bars around without moving my body I felt like. Idk it was stupid bit looks funny to me haha. And the half cab down the dub set. Always wanted to do that. And rincon glad I got that one out of the way haha

Yeah rincon kinda came out of nowhwere for me, that was so gnarly.  One of my favorite clips in the video for sure.

Yea it was like 2 weeks before the deadline and i just was like alright chema lets go to rincon and film a ender haha.

What's that process like for you, filming a super heavy trick like that?

Rub my hands on my pants. Wipe my face with my shirt. Adjust my hat. Wipe hands again then deep breath and send it hahaha it's stupid but if I don't do the extract same thing every time and go from the exact same spot I can't even try to do it haha. It's dumb but true more focus or some shit when stressing while filming something.

Yeah dude, always gotta find that same crack or whatever to start from haha.  So with The Tilt Video, what do you hope kids take away?  What kind of impact do you want it to have on scootering?

I don't really know I just want people to know that if you are serious and you take time and do something right it will turn out good. Have fun and don't copy everybody else. Do what you want to do.

Word.  That should wrap it up, anything else you wanna add?

Thanks to Collin for supporting me the past 5 years. It's been good and only getting better. Also thanks to everybody who came to the premiere in San Diego it was a great night!

And now, scope Josh's section from The Tilt Video-

US National Championships This Weekend

If you haven't already noticed, tons of riders are flocking to Southern Cali for this weekends US National Championships competition. They will be at the Escondido Sports Center, and you can get all the details below. Head out there and check out some of the worlds best throwing down this weekend.

Batman's Day Off

I'm not usually too into little day edits like this but this was a fun watch.  This guy rides super clean.  Line at 1:00 and the next clip were so perfect.  Plus, Batman is awesome.

Madd Gear Flat SCOOT Game 6 and 7

First game is Alex Lopez vs Austin Kuentz. I hadn't heard of Alex before, but he has a really clean style, I was digging it. Although now that someone in a previous comment mentioned it, it is really annoying how close the camera is to the riders in all of these games. Makes it harder to watch. Check out the game though, it was a close one. Stoked to see some switch riding in there.





Next up was Jordan Velasquez vs Jeremy Mallot. A really sketchy game, and kind of shocked me because Jeremy rides really clean in most videos. Either way I think this just about finishes up the first round, so I'm hoping the games get a bit more interesting from here on out.

THE TILT VIDEO : Jordan Jasa

Jordan isn't only the founder of Inside Scooters, he also kills it for Tilt on the daily. His section came out really good in my opinion, and showcases his dialed style and tech skills. Tons of speed on all of his lines made his section one of my favorites to watch. Check it out below, and stay tuned for the next section of the Tilt Video to be posted here.

IZZACX2

Satori recently put out Issac Miller's X2 video, just in time for their summer drop of clothing.  Like the previous X2 videos, this is throwaway/leftover footage from the filming of The Tilt Video.  But any Issac footage is good footage, so don't miss this.

Ryan Upchurch Welcome to Grit Scooters

Well, I for one was surprised when Ryan made the move to Grit. I personally don't know what Grit and Crisp are doing to get all of these riders to make the switch to their company, and I don't really care. The riders they have all still shred. This is one of Ryan's best edits, and the tech combos are awesome. Check it out.

Madd Gear Flat SCOOT Game 5 Nick Tedrick vs Tommy Christiana

For game 5 District's Tommy Christiana went up against MGPs Nick Tedrick. Clearly Tommy ain't messing around. Good game, ready to catch the next round of games in the next couple weeks for sure.

A Week at Woodward with Elliot Arnold and Dustin Nooner

Scooter Farm sent up Elliot, Dustin, Sean Cardwell and Big White up to Woodward to get some shredding in. It's awesome to see footage of Nooner, I was psyched to see him still gettin it.  Elliot of course always shreds it, he's getting those half cab to grind tricks down, just always progressing.  Chill fun edit.

Freestyle Depot 4th of July Sale

Freestyle Depot is having a 20% off sale, get there while you can!

Georgie Louis | Juice Box 3

I always get psyched when Georgie drops clips.  Check these clips filmed at Bamboozle for UrbanArtt and Speak Apparel.

CoCrew Mini Video 1

The Co Crew is one of the freshest crews out for sure.  Ian, Issac, and the gang all kill it.  Issac's lines, Ian's bump to bar to back lip, and Keelan's board drop board were all so awesome.  It's good to see these guys finding and riding spots as equally as sick as their parks.
