TYLER BONNER "HOME TOWN KILLING"

Elyts uploaded this video of Tyler Bonner last night.  Mostly a tranny ripping part, there are also some street clips that show Tyler can still do it all.  That last hubba is so cool looking.  Always love Tyler Bonner footage.

Just What Is This Trick?

The name of this trick is still unconfirmed, but whatever it is, @nathanflemongo is damn good at them. 📷@reganthompson23 #rootindustries #scooters #scootering #scoot #scooter #hanger #feebzer #smith #churchburner

Can we just lay this to rest now?  There’s a trick that’s been trending for the past year that nobody really seems to agree what to call.  The trick, mostly done on rails, is similar to a boardslide or lipslide, with the balance point being towards the back of the deck, by the back wheel, as opposed to the middle of the deck.  In skateboarding, the closest translation would be feeble/smith, as the back truck is locked in and the rest of the board hangs over.  But this is an issue because feebles/smiths are already a trick possible on rails-if you’re grinding on your back peg/dropout, and your front wheel is on the rail, the BMX world considers it a feeble.  So by what precedent should we name this trick?

There are a handful of names that people are calling them, depending on the area.  Feebzer is one I’ve heard, the origins of which I’m not familiar.  Another is churchburner, which I believe Elliot Arnold came up with.  Hanger is one as well, but then we already have toothhangers.  Is it a zeach?  Countless instagram comments might lead one to think that. But IMO a well done “feeble” is way different than a zeach.  East coast head John Cottle had this to say- “If you hang on with the back peg churchburner, no peg feeble. But I still call it a feeble if it’s a good one either way.” Ledge/rail tech wiz Luis Oppel said he calls it a feeble, because ""I just think if you do it right it looks like a feeble on a skateboard."

Maybe one day the gods of scootering will convene to officially name this trick, but until then, the debate will live on.  What do you think it should be?  Drop a comment, vote in the poll, let us know what you think.

The Fuller Files | Concrete Credentials

So I haven't even gotten the chance to watch this yet, but based on the response its been getting I'm pretty sure it's an awesome video.  Logan Fuller is a traveling man, and on these travels he often points a camera at other scooter riders.  This is a park video with one heck of a lineup- guys like Dan Barrett, Ryan Upchurch, then there's Josh Young and Jake Sorensen.  This list goes on, so sit down and check this one out.

Tilt 2 - Jona Humbel B Sides

This week's Tilt 2 B Side comes from Floridian Jona Humbel.  Jona officially got on Tilt midway through filming for Tilt 2, after being the filmer for about a year.  He kills it both behind and in front of the camera, bringing his own style to both.  Not only that but he's a rad dude who is always fun to hang out with.  Needs to leave Florida ASAP though.

PROTO Intermission | Cameron Poe

Cameron is a straight ripper.  He's been involved with Proto for quite some time now, culminating in this part for Intermission.  Cam has massive pop and a supernatural ability to get on top of rails.  Not many can hit the kinkers like Cam can, and he does it better than almost anyone.  Loving this footage, everything is done super clean and with style.

Ethic DTC COLOMBIA Trip

It's been a minute since the last Ethic trip video, and for this latest one the crew went to the South American country of Colombia.  It's awesome to see scooter companies going to these foreign countries, putting on display their culture and way of life.  These dudes always look like they're having a good time, which combined with the amazing riding, makes for a super bangin video.  There are also clips of local scooter riders, which is crazy because I never knew there were scooter riders in Colombia.  Great video all around.

Otto Märkjärvi 2014-2015

Footage of Otto is rare, but it is always worth the wait.  This video for FinScooter is textbook Otto:  simple, clean, and fast.  He doesn't have to do the craziest tricks because he makes the simple ones look so good.  Always refreshing to see that in a time where everyone is caught up trying the most insane flat bar combos.  Great job by Otto and his filmer.

Jared Jacobs 2015 // Scooter Farm x Raptor Hardware

Jared Jacobs recently moved to San Diego for school, and these are the clips he filmed with Damion Black before he left.  It's always a pleasure seeing Jared footy- well filmed, and well performed scooter maneuvers.  Can't wait to see what Jared brings to the streets of SD.

KOVU KREW - Christian Upton - 13 Years Old

It's not so much impressive when younger kids can do crazy tricks, but it is crazy when they can do those tricks with a mature style- as in, with speed and cleanliness.  Christian Upton is another Kovu kid who kills it.  Goes fast, rides spots in way that challenges his own skill and ability, and isn't afraid to hit the bigger stuff.  My only issue is that all these Kovu kids ride the same.  How many times have we seen these dudes do fullwhips/rotorwhips?  I suppose as they get older, they'll branch into their own styles.  And I shouldn't complain, all the Kovu videos are definitely fun to watch!  Wezma does a create job filming and editing these.  Always looking forward to the next one.

Flavio Pesenti - Blunt Reaper V2 Promo 2015

Once I saw the name I knew I immediately had to press play.  Flavio always has the most mindblowing combos- using and abusing those pegs like no other.  Filmed during a week in Lyon, France, this video has it all-  speed, style, cleanliness, tricks, and good production value.

Rusted Never Busted

So, prior to this year's Chicago Street Jam, the Tilt team took a trip up to the Rust Belt cities of Detroit and Cleveland.  Instead of saving the footage for another DVD they decided to compile the footage together in one trip video.  Videos like this don't come around too often, so get psyched and take this one in a few times.  That fingerwhip by Jon...you'll know which one...one of the craziest things I've ever seen.

Flavor Awakening: Jasper "Jabba" Russell-Dennis

Always love seeing clips of Jabba.  The dude has his own style and always charges.  Great trick selection and Lawrence Rubin does a great job behind the lens.  Jasper tells me he just got back from Australia where he filmed another video, so be on the lookout for that soon.

Official 2015 San Diego Street Jam: Presented by The Scooter Farm

The official video of the SD Street Jam is now out, presented in glorious 1080p for your viewing pleasure.  Max Manning of MediaRevere did a killer job capturing the day, as well as all the additional filmers.  I still can't get over all the tricks done at that 18 rail, that was the most insane session I think I've ever witnessed.  Hats off to the Scooter Farm for putting this event on.

Ben Reid | A year in Standard

Olivia Monks has been filming Ben since July last year when she got her VX.  This video was originally supposed to be for Lucky but Ben moved away and the video was unfinished.  However, she just uploaded this today, and it is a solid edit.  Ben has the whip bars down as well as a variety of other tricks across a variety of spots.  Definitely enjoyable.

Niko Kylmälä 2015

Finnish rider Niko Kylmala isn't someone I've heard of until now.  But this dude goes in- combos that are super tech yet remain unique.  He's got those full cab whips down.  And that rainbow rail front board was insane. I guess this is all throwaway as he's filming for a full-length project so I'm excited to see what he brings to the table next.

Tilt 2 - Dylan Kasson B Sides

Dylan's riding is always progressive in a very unconventional way.  The dude has a very unique, disciplined approach to spots, reflecting his personality and lifestyle.  He also has springs in his legs that let him jump over everything in his path. Or maybe he's part grasshopper, I don't know.  Anyways, enjoy his B Sides and go watch his part in the full video.

New York City Street Jam 2015

Michele Failla is organizing a street jam in NYC.  NYC hasn't really had a big jam since the Brooklyn Banks jam days so Michele is really trying to blow this one up.  There's a small but growing list of sponsors so it'll be sick to see how it turns out.  October 17th, East Coasters mark your calendars!

AOROTTERDAM

Rudy Garcia was in Rotterdam to capture some of the European AO dudes killing it out at a street jam.  Brad Ackerman, Pol Roman, Alfred Lauritzen, Oskar Hansen, Ollie Murphy and more all throw down in the German streets for this.

Tilt 2 - Issac Miller B Sides

It's your lucky day folks.  Didn't see Tilt 2 yet?  Here's the first official footy to drop from it, in the form of Issac Miller's B Sides.  Starts the online release of Tilt 2 media off with a bang.  Tilt 2 DVD's are going fast so pick one up soon.  We all know Issac is one of the best from his past videos and Instaclips, but this footage is the real deal.

Rahmel Lafayette in Queens

Rahmel is one of the most OG riders from New York.  Having been riding for 14 years, the guy has somehow remained mysterious, as footage of him has always been rare, even in the glory days of ScooYork.  This video was filmed in just a couple sessions and its clear he can still throw down.  I hope we get to see more from him in the future.
