Johan Grunwald Welcome to Blunt

Recently Blunt Scooters in Europe announced their latest rider, style beast and street killer, Johan Grunwald. Johan previously rode for Razor, but it looks like he was ready for a change. This short welcome edit showcases just a few clips that show how talented Johan is. What do you guys think, does he fit well with Blunt?

Blunt/Envy South Africa Tour Ep.1 - 4

Lately I was sitting around thinking about how many riders have been taken to places that they probably would have never gone before without scootering. These edits below document that pretty well I think. Blunt/Envy recently flew out their riders to South Africa in the hopes of filming a full length edit, and I'm guessing it was a success. The below edits are really cool to watch, they're not jam packed with riding, but you get to know the Team a bit more. And it really does show how far this sport can take you. Can't wait for the full length to drop. For now peep these.

Blunt/Envys Ludo Pistat and Charles Padel AOSv3 Promo Edits

You already know both of these guys kill it. That last clip in Ludo's edit was tight. These promos are showing off the new AOSv3 decks that are already hitting some shops now. Blunt/Envy tries to push their products further and further with each new line, and it's paying off. The new stuff looks good, and I'm stoked to see riders getting more signature products out. Check out he two promos below, and look for the new AOSv3 line at your local Envy dealer soon.

Blunt UK Tour

A couple stops are still left on this tour, make it out to see some shredding from some of the Envy/Blunt guys.  Dirt stop sounds like it could be sick.

First Two Days of the Blunt Europe Tour

Below we got Day 1 and Day 2 of the Blunt Tour going on in Europe right now. The Blunt Team in Europe is a really sick line up of guys who can ride anything from park to street. I'm sure we will see a lot of both by the time this tour is up. Check out the first two days in the videos below.

First Look at the New Blunt Complete

Blunt was one of the companies that made their debut into the sport in the best possible way. They have an amazing roster of riders representing their company, and have quality products on top of that. We got a sneak peek of the new Blunt complete scooter, and I think it looks pretty sick. It has the new Blunt flex brake, IHC Forks, a new deck design with a new headtube, the popular stripper bars, blunt solid core wheels, and new blunt grips..which look pretty sick.

Check out some shots of it below.

Ryan Upchurch Goes To Europe

When Blunt Pro Scooters, ShopECX, and Inside-Scooters's own, Ryan Upchurch goes to Europe... madness is bound to follow. There are 540 combos in this video that you hardly ever see, if even at all. Ryan took full advantage of the opportunity to ride in Europe, and even took 2nd place in Pro at the Razor Global Domination Tour.

The banger at the end is a first for sure to be thrown in a vert ramp of that size...or any size. Check out the edit below.

Jordan Jasa Park Edit

Inside-Scooters Founder, Jordan Jasa, doesn't ride park that much. But when he does, you won't find him blasting the quarter pipes, and hitting boxes. Instead what you get is the video below. I know there are a lot of tech/street riders out there right now, but I don't put too many over Jordan when it comes to having natural skill. Difference between myself and most people, is I noticed this in Jordan early on, and it has only proven to be more true with each edit released. Check out Blunt Scooters Pro rider, and Inside's own, video below.

Aaron Bransdon New Blunt Edit

Smiths, Smiths, Smiths! Aaron has been one of my favorite riders in Australia for a couple years now. I really feel like Aaron has changed a lot of minds, and influenced a lot of riders in Australia with his style of riding. I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that we appreciate that. Check out Aaron's latest video below.

Blunt Scooters Europe Tour

Next week Blunt will be sending a few of their Aussie riders over to France, Switzerland and Spain.  Also attending will be the new European Blunt team, which is to be announced soon.  They'll be spending two weeks over there, and will be sure to throw down while they're there.  I'm rather jealous that I'm not there =/  If you can make it out to any of the stops, make sure you do so.  Its sure to be an awesome time.

Jordan Rode Ohio.

Jordan recently rode some parks and spots in Ohio while with some other midwest locals. This is footage that he got while he was on the trip. Most of the tricks that were landed were fairly easily for him, which I think is a testament to how good Jordan is getting. Some great clips in here for sure though, from one of my favorite riders. Yes, I liked him even when he just rode in his driveway.

ShopECX.com Prepare for Battle!

ShopECX is now carrying the new Blunt Battle Headsets. Please read the below piece provided by ShopECX to learn more.

PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

 

The new Blunt "Battle" Headsets have arrived at www.shopecx.com. The new Battle headsets from Blunt are the first legit scooter headset to hit the market. Based off the best selling FSA Pig Pro, these sealed headsets are top of the line forged 6061 aluminum and come in 5 high polished colors to accent any scooter with style. Sealed cartridge bearings make this headset ultra smooth and virtually indestructible, but what sets this headset apart from the others, is the laser engraved "Game of Scoot" emblazoned on the crown. This allows riders to spin their bars and call out tricks for a game of SCOOT. Wanna mix it up? Spin two sets of bars for combo tricks! Get one for yourself and a friend today from www.shopecx.com and spin up some fun!

ECX also offers FREE installation if you buy a deck and headset together. ECX will professionally install you headset cups for you before they ship your order. Now that's what I call service!

Bransdon Pegs from Blunt

Blunt's latest product, the signature Aaron Bransdon pegs, are now in production.  These babies have a 4130 chromoly outside layer, and an aluminium inside layer.  They will also come anodized in 7 different colors.  Aaron filmed this little promo for them...He is so good at being a god ;)  Sick stuff.

Ryan Upchurch Blunt Tech Video

For this edit Ryan decided to show the more tech side of his riding, including a lot of different grind, stall, and opposite combos, really refreshing after getting used to him doing the huge flashy tricks that he usually films.  Ryan tells me that he's really trying to work on being even more well-rounded as a rider, and that he wants to start doing street rails..which is a pretty scary thought considering how good he seems to be on any other obstacle.

Blunt Headsets Hit the US

 

The new Blunt sealed headsets have arrived in the states now and will be available through any of DSA's affiliates.  These headsets come with 6061 aluminum cups, with sealed cartridge bearings.  As you can see they come in 5 colors, so you can be sure to find one that would match your scooter.  And of course they come with trick names, so you can have a little game of scoot if you get bored.

Brendon Smith Chill Edit

Some things Brendon enjoys are chat roulette sessions, cuddles, Coke and doing more more more combos.  So many that he has to ask people what to do because he runs out of ideas.  Riding with him is ridiculous cause he can pull the stupidest stuff with ease ("That's easy!" is a phrase he used a lot during the Blunt US trip).  This edit I guess is just a for fun one, so I think that means he has another video coming soon.

New Blunt Website Coming Soon

Blunt has been working hard over the past month or so on updating their website.  Above is a little preview that Dinny was able to send me.  Keep checking bluntscooters.com and soon enough you'll be able to see the updated thing for yourself.  And don't forget, if you want to apply for the US Blunt Team, send an email toryan.upchurch@bluntscooters.com with a video and why you think you should be on the team.

Blunt USA Team Update

So as you may have heard, Blunt USA recently appointed team rider Ryan Upchurch as the team manager, something that was missing ever since Steven T. quit back in December.  You also may have heard that riders Josh Young and Erik Feenstra made the decision to drop the team...so that mean there are now three vacancies in the team.  Read on:

"As some of you may have heard, Blunt team riders Josh Young and Erik Feenstra recently quit the Blunt USA team. They left due to personal reasons, and having a lack of time to ride. That now leaves the Blunt USA team with only Jordan Jasa and I (Ryan Upchurch). With that being said, we now have 3 spots open on the team, and we will be seeking 3 of the best riders from all over the country. What we are looking for is preferrably an 18 year-old or older rider that loves blunt, that will be able to release photos and videos on a frequent basis. On top of all of this, we're just looking for someone that has a positive image, and above all, is just a really nice person. If you think you fit that description, or you just really think you could make the team, drop an e-mail to me at ryan.upchurch@bluntscooters.com

I really can't wait to see all of the resumes that come in, and all of the talent that you all possess! Until then, stay tuned to the Blunt Facebook fan page : http://www.facebook.com/pages/Blunt-Scooters-New-Page/185223698157847?ref=ts
