Throwback Thursday Phil and Coedie Summer Video 2006

Before there were 129831083092 Aus riders all flipping and whipping their scooters in every direction, there were a select few that helped set the bar when it came to Aus riding. Phil Lagettie and Coedie Donovan were two of those riders. They had very different styles, but they really put Australia on the map. Coedie was one of the most underrated riders for a long time, mainly since he had no footage out. Once he started dropping footage people realized just how good he was. For Phil, he had one of the strongest bmx styles in the game. Everything he did seemed to flow so well, and some of his Mini Videos are some of my favorite videos to watch to this day. For now check out this little piece of history, featuring both of them together in one edit.

Eaglesport AUS Canberra Tour

The members of Eagle's Aus team recently went on a trip around Canberra. New footy of Coedie is always a treat, all those subbox tricks he did are amazing. And I think I saw some Phil Lagettie clips? For those who don't know, Phil was one of the most stylish and tech OG Aussie riders back in the day. I know I'm super stoked that hes back in the sport. Phil was the one who filmed this, along with Jackson Manzie. Jackson's own riding clips were super good too.

Phil Lagettie hits the scene hard.. Again.

Australian Scooters 3 - SR topic.

So it's official, Aus3 will be released, sometime in 2010.
I caught up with Phil to ask him some stuff about it, and some generalities about himself.

Aaron: What got you back into the scene? Was it a personal decision, or did someone else help you come out of the shadows?

Phil: It was the loss of my license, it opened my eyes and showed me the transportation that i used to love, my scooter.. i only ever got lazy once i got it...i get it back in 2 weeks, after 3 months... but REFUSE to fall away due it it again... i use it purposely to drive to skateparks and ride with everyone..


How does it feel getting back on the old trustful steed after so long? Have you been throwing the casual 10ft high euro airs?

For the time i was out of riding, i had an emptiness within me.
Nothing could fill it, drinking, girls, mates, partying.. nothing would fulfill the feeling of when i used to flow and listen to Tool whilst riding..

Haha, sadly no after a few weeks, i am yet to throw a euro, I Crashed doing a invert air, after about 2 years not riding at all. i could remember the feeling exactly, but gravity though.


What has sparked the sudden want to make Aus3? Will it be a DVD again, and what names can we expect?

Being that i have been employed as a video editor for the last 2 years has grown my confidence in editing immensely
and even though i love what i edit at work, scooter vids/ mini vids was my main inspiration for learning the techniques.
i want to put my All in to this Video.

It will be a DVD swell as a web release.. DVD obviously including a lot more than the web release.

Names so far for sections are :
Coedie Donovan
Ladam
Brendan Smith
Adam Rouse
Cory Geisler
Rory Coe
Aaron Bransdon
& possibly myself haha
This only being the 1st set... more to be announced!


Thanks Phil.

So there you have it!
Australian Scooters 3 is on the cards, and it's going to be done by the man who started it all.
Inside Scooters will try their best to keep you updated with any news on it as it comes, including new lists of rider sections, possible release dates and progress on the video!
