TPCVJ9 DVD review

The Philly Crew
Video Journal 9

Riders: Good ones.

Music: It wasn't by any means bad, but I think it could have been better, especially for McKeen's part. Overall though, it set a chill vibe for the video and I think it was good.

The video starts off with a message from Brian Boston, TPC's filmer/editor/inventor of the fabulous briflip. It says that basically this DVD is a compilation of the past two years, and that he had a lot of fun making it. He also says that it was edited in two days, so just know that the editing isn't flashy or anything. Simple is better most of the time anyways.

Then it goes straight into an introduction/montage. After this montage is a segment from the Ohio trip, which they took in 2007. Then it seems like there's more random footage, finished off with a full part from McKeen. Most of you have already seen his re-edited part (except me, I've been waiting to watch the DVD part before the new version), but don't let that stop you from buying this video. Following Matt's part is the credits, which includes some random footy of bails, candid shots, etc.

The riding in the video is ridiculous. I haven't heard a single thing online about Dan Barrett's stuff, and he really throws down some bangers. I was kinda hoping for some more nose manuals, but he definitely delivers with a great mix of tech and big stuff. Casey Murphy's riding is really fun to watch, Brian has a lot of good tech stuff, and John Mattes has some really nice riding for coming back into the sport after a hiatus. And McKeen...I don't even have to tell you how sick his stuff is. The video is kinda disrupted by some glitches, which got kindof annoying, but its bearable.

So, overall, I think its well worth the price of $10, which is what I paid for it anyway. Shipping is retarded though, it came in regular business envelope, and some bubble wrap, and in a regular CD cover thing. Pretty modest for the 13 bucks I paid for shipping. But don't let that stop you from buying. TPCVJ9 DVD is well worth the money. I hope the release of this DVD can give a little motivation to those teams also working on full-length videos *cough*DXG*cough*SY*cough. Excuse me.

Cory Vanlew Interview


Cory Vanlew. Dont know the name? Dont worry you will. Cory is 18 years old, He was born in Orange County and currently resides in Temecula, California. Which is an area known for having some of the sports top riders. He started riding scooters only 2 years ago at age 16, and has since found a new passion. Apart from scootering Cory also does a little skating, and snowboards in the winter. However when it comes down to it, he chooses Scootering above both. He loves the fact that its a fairly new sport, and is constantly trying to change peoples opinions on how scooter riders are seen. Cory sees himself as a street rider, he loves hitting handrails, ledges, and just going out and riding street. Dont let this fool you though, It isnt uncommon to see Cory riding a skatepark, and airing out of quarters and over hips with overclicked turndowns, lookbacks, and tuck no handers that rival even some of the best "bmx style" riders today. Apart from Scootering, Cory has another big passion in life. That being his love for Graphic Design. Which started back in his Sophomore year of Highschool. Next semester he will be going to college to become a graphic designer. Despite this Cory will still ride, and one of the main things that is keeping him riding, is Matt McKeen. Cory is constantly being inspired watching Matts riding to push himself harder as a street rider, and considering Cory was recently sponsored by Inward-Scooters, you can expect just that.

- Steven T.

Interview by Jordan Jasa

You just got on Inward Scooters. What were you feeling when you learned you were picked for the team?

I was real excited to finally be aprt of a "legit" team that is already making parts and is planning on doing big things and progressing the sport.

How does it feel to be on the same team as Eric Ostrom, Matt Ogle, and everyone else?

I'm very happy to be on the same team as Ogle, Ostrom, You, and everyone else i think i kinda suprised everyone with my sponsor video, cause noone thought i was that good. So overall im glad to finally be reckonized on the same level as them.

What do you think is going to happen in the future with the team?

Well from what iv'e heard from Stevn t. the team manager Inward=Scooters is going to be doing big things, releasing new products and the possibility of a team video should soon all be in the works.

Once you get your Inward parts, whats your setup gonna be?

Inward bars 21.5 high 18 wide, Fsa Unsealed headset, Old A headtube, Inward extreme offset with .120 wall threaded,Proto wheels or eagle not sure what im going to run yet, Old A brake, Reinforced B deck, Custom Grip artwork by me. Thats about it...

You're obviously a very heavily street-influenced rider. Besides McKeen, who influences you?

Lets see.... Big Ron is probaly the other big influence

Cali has a reputation of kids riding nothing but parks and doing a lot of scooterflip stuff. Do kids ever give you crap for riding with a street style, for being different?

No nobody gives me any crap for it actually i'm the one usally tellin people to learn to ride some ledges and quit using your scooter as a nun-chuck lol. But i guess as long as everyone is havin fun i could care less how you ride hahaha

The sponsor video you posted on SR has gotten a lot of good comments, 4 pages right now I think. Did you expect this kind of reception?

i mean not to sound cocky or anything but i did expect to get alot of good comments maybe not that much but yeah i was plannin on recieving alot of good feedback and i thank Nick Darger for editing and filming the video cause it turned out great!

Who or what got you into the sport?

well one day i went to woodinville skatepark when i used to skate. i decided to bring my scooter and see what i could to at the park. i got there and the RAD crew was there and after i saw SLAM do a fingerwhip it was love at first sight! ahahaha

Would you rather ride a street quarterpipe or a nice stairset with a rail in a park? Why?

I'd rather ride the nice stairset with a rail in the park because thats more what i like to do. even tho im a "street" rider i gain all my confidence to do street hand rails on park handrails. They are always better cause you dont have that Sketch factor and you usually have perfect run ups and no big cracks to deal with.

I see what you mean, practice in the park, then apply it in the streets. So how did you get into graphic design? What do you love most about it?

started out in high school and took a computer graphics class and was stoked on photoshop and been doing it ever since. i love creating art its just like a strong hobby i want to make into a career.

You said in your thread something about 720's flat. Are you serious?

of course you will see either in the 951 video or on the inward team intro video thingy. Was bored one day and tried fro like an hour straight. but i got em.

Wow, McKeen status, literally. What kind of music are you into?

anything except like screamo death metal and country. hip hop is my favorite tho

Where do you see yourself, and the sport, in 5 years?

well hopefully the sport gets big in the next couple years cause ill be 24 and ill probably be ready to start a family... so ill keep scootering as long as the sport doesnt die out and grows to what skate boarding has become.

Thats all I got. Any thanks, etc?

Yeah i'd Like to thank Inward-Scooters for taking the time to make the team riders first. All my friends and family who supprt me and my riding and everyone who gave me some positive feed back on my video. =]

Doubleflip on a snowmobile?



Almost.

titles suck

ok soo...theres been some kids doing interviews for me. thats really nice and all, butt...i don't want any more. not that i think they're bad...its just that when someone is going to be interviewed, i want to do it. not some kid i don't know. and especially if the riders is of a high caliber...i don't want every single megapro rider out there interviewed in the first weeks of having this site.

The official "staff" of Inside is as follows:

Jordan Jasa- Writer, interviewer, poster of videos
Steven Tongson- Intro writing, perhaps some random things here and there
Aaron Bransdon- Australian correspondent, interviews, other written content
Jelani (Ejazz)- Contributing writer

So there it is.

Proto Wheel Exchange

As you may know, the Proto metalcore wheels have had some problems with dehubbing, so Andrew has decided to replace all dehubbed wheels free of charge. Read on:

__________________________________________________________

Okay, listen up!

If you had any "dehubbing" issues with your PROTO metalcores from the first batch we will be replace them free of charge (aside from mailing them back to us). Since it was only a small percentage of wheels that are having issues, we will only be replacing wheels that are totally unridable (completely dehubbed).

If you ordered directly from The Scooter Resource you have until Friday, February 13, 2009 to determine if the wheels you purchased are defective or not. In other words: If you haven't broken them by Friday the 13 then we aren't going to replace them. If you ordered from WEE Scooters you have until Friday, February 27, 2009 to do the same. If only one of your wheels dehubs then we will only replace one, two for two and so on.

If you live in the United States mail your defective wheels to:

The Scooter Resource
2426 Millegar Lane
Vista, CA 92084

In order to receive your replacement wheels you MUST include either your original packing slip from SR or a piece of paper containing all your original order information (name on order, address, order number if you have it) so we can properly credit the right orders. All replacements must be postmarked (emails received if you ordered from WEE) by the deadlines in red above. If they are not sent by the dates above you will not be eligible for replacements after that.

If you ordered from WEE Scooters you need to email photographic proof of your defective wheels to info©weescooters.com and Madis will verify if the wheels are eligible for replacement and in what quantities. The wheels in the photos must be DISTINCTLY marked on the cores on the SAME SIDE as the PROTO graphics so there are no duplicate photos being taken. You can either notch the core with a saw or engrave it with something that is clearly visible in the photo. Markers and paint do not count because those can be easily removed. If you feel this is too much work then mail them back to Madis and make sure they are post marked by the deadline above.

We promised the best freestyle scooter wheels on the market and we stand by our word.

_________________________________________________________

Now I don't know about you but I think eagles are looking really nice right now. I bought one of a kid today, I hope its worth the money.
