ELYT'S Stylites DVD Sections from Mitch Baldry and Benj Friant

The ELYTS Stylites DVD was recently uploaded in full on Youtube, so we're posting up the sections here on ISB for anyone that hasn't had the chance to see them on DVD yet. Mitch Baldry and BenJ Friant both had solid sections. Mitch's whip to bar game was on lock, throwing them out of manuals, fakie, and over all kinds of stuff. And BenJ, well he really needs no introduction, you know he delivers.

Mitch Baldry AO PROfile

"Throughout the last year Mitch Baldry has taken his riding and career to another level. With his recent success on the Nitro Circus tour as well as his full length section in the Elyts DVD, Mitch has made it to the center stage.
This section is just a small collection of the clips Mitch snagged in his last visit to California. Quite something when you realize just what this boy is capable of in just a few short days. Watch out for his full section in the AO team video." - AO

Nitro Circus Live- Next Level Scooter Kids

This is sick.  In case you didn't know Nitro Circus has been posting videos from the most recent tour mostly featuring highlights, but this one focuses directly on the scooter riders on the tour, Ryan Williams and Mitch Baldry.  A few of the other guys talk about how much they were impressed by Ryan and Mitch and there's a bunch of footage of them doing wild tricks.  Watch it.

ELYTS in Australia

Back in October Zig and Phillip Long went down to Australia and got a ton of footage. This is mostly left over footage, but there's still tons of good clips. You'll also notice a lot of Rory Coe clips, which is pretty rare. Really good to see Rory shredding. Also featured are Chris Hart, Mitch Baldry, and Adam "Ladam" Bolton. Check it.


And I see you Zig, reppin that ISB!

Alpha Omega Presents The AO Sigma Deck + Sigma Fork

Alpha Omega, better known as AO, is under the same umbrella as ELYTS, 841, and Raptor. AO so far has released information on their one piece deck and fork. We recently got sent all the information you need to know about both of them. For more information see the press release sent to us by AO earlier today.

"AO scooters are the first decks specifically designed for street. The key innovation of the deck is a removable grind plate (soul frame) which is made out of a super tough plastic material which not only protects your deck but enables you to effortlessly grind anything: unwaxed curbs, concrete and stone ledges, wood and it even gives you more control on metal rails.
 

As athletes in other action sports already know there is something about grinding and the soul frame opens a whole new dimension in scootering. Now you don’t depend on your mom to drive you to a skate park: You can ride your scooter right in front of your door steps – anytime, anywhere."


AO SIGMA

The AO Sigma deck is made of re-heat treated 6016 T6 aluminum and comes with stainless steel flex brake (rounded so your wheels won't get flat), 8 mm high tensile Chromoly axle bolts and a grind plate made of super tough Nylon material.

At only 3.6 lbs. (including soul frame) the Sigma is still among the lighter scooters on the market and allows you to do any tricks you've been used to do.

Features:

- Deck in re-heat treated 6016 T6 aluminum

- Length: 19.5”, width: 4 ¼”,

- Weight: 3.6 lbs. incl. grind plate (1.5 kg)

- Super tough grind plate

- Flat bottom

- Rounded, stainless steel flex brake (2 mm)

- 8 mm high tensile Chromoly axle bolt

- Head tube angle 82.5





AO Fork Sigma

The Sigma fork is a 1-piece compression fork which goes perfectly with the Sigma deck. It is forged which means it is pressed from a block of aluminum under 5 tons of pressure. This process re-aligns the molecules and makes the so dense that it is 2.5 times stronger than regular machined aluminum.

Features:

- 1-piece forge fork

- compression system

- 8 mm high tensile Chromoly axle bolt

- 10 mm offset

Mitch Baldry Nitro Circus Triple Backflip Attempt

I wouldn't usually post non-landed attempts at tricks, but this isn't your usual trick.  Mitch goes for the triple while on the Nitro Circus.  I have a feeling it won't be long before he stomps it.

Brendon Smith Mini UK Tour + 2 Minutes with Envy's Mitch Baldry

Envy Pro Scooters rider Brendon Smith is known for being extremely consistent, and putting down edits full of 100% bangers. He plans on heading to Woodward in California this year as well, where you can bet your ass he is going to be adding a ton of new tricks to his already huge list. But before he heads to the US, he's hitting up The UK. The Mini tour has already kicked off, and he will be making quite a few stops before heading to Woodward.

Blunt Scooters, will be offering 50 free Skatepark entries to each of these stops to the first UK riders to email their details into uktour@bluntscooters.fr

Simply say your name, age and the stop you will be attending. Blunt Scooters will let you know if your in the top 50 where your name will be on a list at the door. For more information riders can hit up Blunt.Scooters.Europe.Facebook




I'm sure some crazy footage of Brendon will be surfacing from the UK Tour soon. For now though, you guys can check out Mitch Baldry in a quick 2 minute edit.

"Competition Day" ft Zig Short, Max Peters, and Mitch Baldry by Phillip Long

Shot and edited by Phillip Long, these three ELYTS riders give you some insight on how the competition day was for them. SD6 was one of the biggest competitions to date, so it's cool to see what these guys thought about it. It's too bad we didn't get to hear from other riders as well. Check it out below.
