Brendon Smith Quick Release V2

Brendon is at it again. This time mixing it up with some street clips in there. Brendon in the past got a lot of hate for his videos seeming to repetitive, so I was feeling the mix of different clips in here. Not sure if I prefer his street clips over his park clips though. As long as he mixes it up with his park clips, and they're not all quarter clips, I'm good. Some crazy stuff in here though for sure.

Fasen Scooters | The Brendon Smith Video

Bsmith's latest video is a 12 (TWELVE) minute long marathon of mindblowing trick after mindblowing trick after mindblowing trick.  It amazes me how someone can progress so much while not actually progressing at all.  Brendon has certainly stuck to his roots, doing what hes done best, not venturing out too far from that style.  As for him being better than Kota, like some people are already saying?  Nah.

Brendon Smith/Dinny Spicer Fasen Interview with Skates.Co.UK

Here we get a really good look at the new Fasen parts, as well as the proper pronunciation of the word Fasen.  Spiral fluted bars, 3D forged parts, and wedge clamps, oh my.  Looks pretty wild for sure.

Brendon Smith Start to Spring Edit

Well it looks like Fasen's Brendon Smith has had no problem adjusting to his new Fasen set up, mainly the deck. He's back to his usual ways in this edit blasting combos left and right, and showing off some tech tricks during the process. This was a 2 week edit, and I believe it was filmed and edit by Michael Sadler. Check it out below.

Brendon Smith Bunker Night Sesh

A chill sesh from Fasen's Brendon Smith. Not going incredibly hard like he does in his longer edits, but still getting it done considering this was filmed in one night. Last clip was tight. As everyone knows by now, Brendon Smith is the co owner of a new company by the name of Fasen. They are partnered with us here at Inside Scooters, and we will be dropping all news relating to Fasen as soon as we have it.

Face of Fasen Revealed: Brendon Smith Interview

So with the recent announcement that Brendon Smith is the rider behind Fasen, we had to catch up with him and get the inside story. I recently discussed everything with Brendon, from the beginning of Fasen, His future with Envy, And the future with Fasen. Read it all in the interview below.

Steven: Brendon how you been dude?

Brendon :Hey, yeah I’ve been good, riding a lot and mainly just planning out my schedule for the next 6 months.

Steven: All right so the secret is out, you are the rider behind the company Fasen, Correct?

Brendon :That's right.

Steven: Ok take me back dude. I want to know how the idea of Fasen even started?

Brendon :Alright, last year I was on tour with Dinny one of the owners of Blunt/Envy, we started talking about product ideas, at first it was to add onto the range, however towards the end of the tour things just started to drop in place and the designs we had in mind really just healed their own and where quite different to the style of Blunt/Envy. From then on we were both extremely excited about this project and it just went from there. The name 'Fasen' is a old family name. We had some others, however Fasen seemed to stick.

Steven: Why did you want to do this? Has it been something you’ve wanted to start up for a while?

Brendon :Yeah, it’s been something I have wanted for a long time. It's safe to say every rider out there would jump on a chance to start up a new brand. I throw myself at it.

Steven: Was it tough to keep it a secret from everyone for this long?

Brendon :Leading up to the announcement on Inside not even my team mates or close friend knew. I didn't/don't want to be one of though brands that say there are starting up a company and start posting 3D drawings months before anything has even been made, anyone can do that. When we decided to launch, we wanted to have all the products made and in the final stages of testing. So for the past 3 months I have been keeping a very low profile and testing our new range, swopping over to my Envy to go to comps and trips away from my home town Benalla.

Steven: So if I understand it correctly, you are a Co Owner of Fasen. Talk to me about the other half of the company?

 Brendon :The guys from Blunt/Envy are the other owners, they have kindly put up the cash and their net work. When this all started I thought setting up a brand would be easy. Never thought about the costs of IP's, websites, trade marking, molding and development. Your'e talking big $$$, so much like some of the other rider own brands out there, Fasen is backed.

Steven: All right man, run me through some of the products we can expect from the company?

Brendon :Ok, we wanted Fasen to be a stand alone brand.  And because we have never been in a rush to release it we took our time on finding the best technology we could get our hands on. For example, our wheels. These are the first of their kind and to my knowledge no scooter wheel has ever been made like it. It's 110mm and comes in at 150grams and is incredibly strong. The reason why we are being so secrete and not showing pic's, is I can promise you this is the future of wheels and we are not willing to give it away any time soon. So the first time you will see these wheels is when they are getting released to the stores. Other products like our deck, we have made a one piece forged head tube, which is light and has a cool design. We have come up with a new style of connecting it to the deck body that save on weight and spreads the load a lot better.  The deck is a little wider and longer then the AOSv2, with 2 gird surfaces on the bottom. The bar we have is made of 4130 and comes in at 850grams, which is about 200 grams lighter than most 550mm high bars on the market. Our clamp, you'll just have to wait, its a whole new system. Other products like Grips, Bearings, headsets, brakes are all ready for production as well.  Shoe's, apparel and back packs are all coming very soon too.

Steven: Does this affect your relationship or Team position with Envy at all?

Brendon :I'll be representing Fasen full time, so sadly I'll be leaving the Team. My bars "Smith" will  be still be sold by Blunt/Envy until the stocks run out and they will be under Fasen. I will be working with Blunt/Envy very closely and when I make the move to Melbourne this year, I will be located in their head office. So that relationship can only get stronger.

Steven: Obviously it’s going to take a lot of time, dedication, and responsibility to run the company. Think you can handle it?

Brendon :The best thing for me is I have my partners backing and net work. To try and start this from scratch and on my own would be impossible. I have a lot to learn about what it takes to run something like this and I'm sure there is some long days ahead of me. Most of my tasks will be product  development, marketing and promotions. The sales and manufacturing will be handled by my partners, however I will make sure I'm a part of it.

Steven: So with Fasen making parts such as a deck, bars, wheels, what exactly are you going to be riding from now on? Envy or  Fasen?

Brendon :Fasen will have everything to complete a scooter. So when the products are ready I'll be 100% Fasen, until then I'll be riding Envy products which I have no problem at all doing.

Steven: Has testing begun on the parts yet? If not when does that start?

Brendon :Testing has been going on since early this year, right now we are in the final stages. I live about 200km out in the country side so it's been a great area to test. Couple of small changes and the production will begin. 

Steven: So when can we expect to see some of these parts for sale?

Brendon :Production is due to start in the coming weeks, so all I can say is soon. Well before Xmas that's for sure.

Steven: I gotta say I’m stoked for you Brendon. A lot of riders dream of doing something like this, and you’re actually doing it. If you got any last words or shout outs, let em go?

Brendon :I don't even really know how to sum it up. It's unbelievable that something like this is actually happening, and can't wait to get started. I'd like to thank Blunt/Envy for everything they have done for me and for making this all happen, and Michael Sadler for filming and editing all my videos.

Raw Envy Footage from The Moomba Comp

This past weekend was the Moomba Comp over in Aus. We got some raw footage from Envy of riders Max Peters and Brendon Smith. With the way these two have been riding, and will most likely continue to ride. You gotta wonder if they took part in more US Competitions, if Dakota would get knocked of his pedestal, haha. These guys really shut it down.

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.

Envy Pro Scooters Max Peters and Brendon Smith NZ Tour

Recently Brendon and Max from Envy Pro Scooters, known as Blunt Pro Scooters here in the US, went on a trip to New Zealand. They hit up various street spots, and skateparks, and got some really good footage. Yes, you heard that right there are a good amount of street clips in this edit from these two park riders. By the way, the last clip in the video, by Max, that's something I've wanted to see done for a long time. Insane.

Brendon Smith Envy Web Edit

You've probably seen this already on Facebook but I suppose I might as well post it.  This video features Brendon doing what he does best- combos for days on quarterpipes and boxes.  The only thing I want to say about it is that I wish Brendon would progress in other ways than air tricks.  But its cool, thats what works best for him and why he's gotten to where he is today.

Blunt NZ Tour with Max Peters and Brendon Smith

Coming up in November two of the Australia's best will be going on tour. Max Peters and Brendon will be going to New Zealand and hitting up some of the parks out there and riding with the locals. For full details check the flyer below.

Brendon Smith... Weekend Edit?

Yeah, this video was filmed in two days. Some people spend months and months filming for an edit like this, but I guess when you're Envy Pro Scooters rider, Brendon Smith, you can knock it out in a weekend. There are some tricks in here that I don't even think I've seen before.. Very solid video from one of Australia's best. Also just so everyone knows, Brendon won the JJ3 contest earlier this week, which is probably the biggest contest in Australia.





Also guys don't forget about the King of the Bowl Jam that Envy Scooters is throwing this weekend! Get out there if you can!

Blunt Pro Scooters New Team Edits

Blunt might have started as an Australian company, but now they got riders from all over the world. From Australia, to here in the USA, to Switzlerland and France. If you wanna check out some of the newest Team edits, see below.


Brendon Smith (AUS)


Ludovic Pistat (Switzerland)


Michael Knudson (USA)


Jonathan Zegarra (USA)


Charles Padel (France)


Some of the tricks in some of these videos are just beyond me. I really loved Ludo's video. Some insane stuff in there. It was my first time seeing Blunt France rider Charles Padel ride as well, and damn was I impressed. Great edits all around. Check em out.

Brendon Smith Chill Clips

Blunt's Brendon Smith is almost finished with his next big video, and so put together these extras/throwaway clips.  This guy as you all know is a trick machine, and this video doesn't seem to stray away from his typical style.

Brendon Smith 2011 Blunt Web Edit

Bsmith....no words.

Check out his Smith bar promo too:

Brendon Smith Chill Edit

Some things Brendon enjoys are chat roulette sessions, cuddles, Coke and doing more more more combos.  So many that he has to ask people what to do because he runs out of ideas.  Riding with him is ridiculous cause he can pull the stupidest stuff with ease ("That's easy!" is a phrase he used a lot during the Blunt US trip).  This edit I guess is just a for fun one, so I think that means he has another video coming soon.

Brendon Smith Throwaway

Blunt's Brendon Smith put out this video of unused clips today...I think the term "throwaway" can be used lightly here though.  These clips are better than most riders' bangers, and I'm sure theres some he could have put into his most recent edit but just couldn't fit in.  That last clip is just beyond ridiculous.

If you live in California, Arizona, or Las Vegas, you'll get a chance to see Brendon as well as Blunts Max Peters and Wazza very soon.  If you haven't heard, the team is coming to America for the SD5 competition as well as to tour around the southwest.  Check out the flyer below for more:

Brendon Smith

Every time he puts out a video I wonder how he can ride wearing that jacket, especially in Australia.

Brendon Smith

absolutely ridiculous. definitely one of the top riders in Australia.
