Matt Andrus: ROOTS

Matt, being one of scooter riding's OG pioneers, has been around for a long time.  He grew up riding with his brother John, who now rides bikes in shows, builds skateparks, and films bmx/skate videos for a living.  He was the one originally filming Matt back in the day, so it seems fitting that the Andrus brothers would reunite again for this video about Matt.  In it he talks about how he started, getting on the original Micro team, and more.  Matt is one of the most genuine people I've ever met in this sport, and he really sums it up nicely- "If its not fun, then you need to take a step back, and check yourself".    After that quote we get some rad footage, from Southern Cali and Wisconsin.

"The Rider" Petr Machaecek

Damn.. it's times like these that I wish I spoke Czech, but I don't. But that doesn't take away from this documentary made about the top Czech rider, and MGP and Gizmania Pro rider, Petr Machaecek. The filming and editing is really well done. I just wish we had some english subs! But I know there are a fair amount of riders from Europe that will be able to enjoy this, and for anyone else..just sit back and watch haha. Looks like it takes you through a day full day in the life of Petr. From school, to MMA training, to of course, riding. Check it out.

Raymond Warner: Plain and Simple

Raymond is a close friend of mine, and someone who I really respect in this sport. He has a really great outlook on everything, and it shows in this video. Raymond has been killing it lately in the competition scene, finishing top 3 in almost every contest he's been entering. And let's face it, with the competition today, that ain't easy.

The below video was filmed and edited by Chris Blanton, who did a really good job. Raymond breaks down how he got started in the sport, and why this sport means a lot to him. Last few clips in the video are just mind blowing. And yeah for the record that was 7, over a box.

Scoot Documentary by Danny Roberts

Danny Roberts is one of my favorite riders from the UK. Very original rider, and has an awesome style. He was assigned to do a documentary on something he did, and naturally he chose to do it on riding. I really like watching documentaries, for the fact that you get to know the rider a bit better.

In this one you also get to know more about Danny's filmer, and the hardships of riding and living in The UK. Check out the video below.

Thanks to Matt Wiles for emailing this to me.
