Alex Donnachie, Kriss Kyle, and Jason Phelan spent some time in France recently, rode some great looking parks, and as you’d expect, completely shut them down with a combination of skill and style. I’ve never even seen a 720 to manual 360 either; it’s not even the banger either, just a mid-edit trick.

James Cox, Dan Cox & James Newrick’s “Standard Procedure” Section
If you are a big fan of videos like “Voices” and “Tomorrow We Work” like I am, this will make your day. James Cox, Dan Cox, and James Newrick share the spotlight in their three way split part from “Standard Procedure”, which is yet another classic feeling UK street riding DVD.
Boozemouth Daggertime Edit
For many people, filming an edit isn’t so much fun. That does not seem to be the case for Brandon Straub. Here’s a minute of good times for The Dagger Zone.

FISE Montpellier’s mini ramp contest was completely out of hand. With guys like Alex Coleborn, Mark Webb, Brett Banasiewicz, Pat Casey, and Daniel Dhers on hand, that should come as no surprise. Check out the best six minutes of their riding as seen by Chris Wilmshurst’s lens after the jump.
Read post →Delco Brand Randumb Edit
From flipcam footage to filming clips off of TV screens and computer monitors, this video is far from normal. The product of Adam Schnellenbach getting drunk and high one night, this strange mash up of footage is actually really good, if you can look past the image quality issues.
Read post →Montana Ricky Edit
Ricky Lopez (aka Montana Ricky) has his own unique approach to riding, and definitely looks at ways to use set ups that others may miss. I can respect that, and if you can as well, give this edit a look. Something did get weird during compression (no de-interlace maybe?) so isn’t the most pleasant to watch from that perspective, but I think it’s still worth it overall.
Read post →Justin Bayliss “Back Wheel Living” Edit
Justin Bayliss uses manuals to tie almost all of his lines together in his new edit, thus the name. To manual into that last double peg and hold it that long can’t be easy, even though he makes it look simple.

Scott Ehlert is back with more unique tricks and sweet box jump moves. All done with a smile, which Scott is rarely found without.

1. TCU Presents: Chad Kerley’s Vitamin Water Invitational.
I’m not sure if contest footage has ever made the top ten list before, but there is no doubt that this deserves to be on it. Chad Kerley’s Vitamin Water Invitational was the most progressive street contest to ever exist, and if you haven’t sent he footage yet, you are really missing out.
2. Welcome to Fit: Florent Soulas
Florent Soulas has the most manual control of anyone I’ve ever seen. Racers included. How no one gave him a full ride earlier is beyond me, but props to Fit for snatching him up.
3. Greg D’Amico’s Section from BMXFU “Guy Stuff”
Greg D’Amico is one of those underrated guys that you don’t see every week online, but when he does put something out, it’s worth the wait. Don’t sleep on this.
4. Tom Villarreal’s Madera Spring 2012 Edit
Tom Villarreal takes all of his riding to the next level for his latest Madera edit. His fast lines got faster and his tech tricks got more tech. I can’t wait to see what he does next.
5. Ronnie Napolitan & MARKIT After Dark
Lighting up a dark skatepark with lights is kind of played out IMO, but taking lights to the trails is pretty fresh of an idea to me. The Markit guys knew just where to place those lights to make it look rad. Everyone associated with Markit are amazing riders, so you know Ronnie handled those trails with ease.
6. Nick Bullen in AZ Edit
Nick Bullen blew me away with his new edit from his new home of Arizona. The jump in riding level from his last footage to this is big. Get used to the name now, cause he isn’t going anywhere.
7. Mark Burnett Video.
At 13 years old, Mark is probably the youngest kid to ever make this list. What this kid is capable of already is ridiculous. What will he be doing by the time he’s 18?
8. Steven Hamilton Street Edit
Steven Hamilton is riding the best I’ve seen from him in years. What is even cooler to many, is that he seems to have not been influenced by current riding trends at all, and has a style much as he did in the early to mid 2000’s.
9. Andrew Castaneda Lotek Edit
Anyone that has done a crankarm grind knows how small of a balance point it has. How you can hop over a notch in a rail and keep going on the crankarm smoothly is beyond me. This edit didn’t just make the list for one good trick though, the entire edit is dialed.
10. Phil Demattia Kink Welcome Edit
Phil goes kickflip crazy for his Kink edit, but not just in a repetitive filler way, but in some really unique and difficult tricks that really took me by surprise. Some of the rail magic he lays down is insane as well.
Here’s a few now video posts that may be of interest:

Cory Wiergowski, Nick Bullen and Dean Watson shred some prime street spots in Arizona while Savage Garden’s “I Want You” plays behind them. If you are in your mid twenties, you probably remember this song from your youth, whether you liked it or not.

Dan Norvell, Tom Villarreal, and Shawn McIntosh manage to put together a quick edit with Miles Rogoish in just twenty minutes. You might think that with such little time the riding might not be anything special, but it’s not the case. All the dudes come through with some worth while clips.

There is a report circulating that Dave Mirra died in a car crash recently, but the story is completely false. Apparently it’s been going around for a week or more, but after hearing that people are still reading it and believing it, a post seemed to be in order. More info after the jump.

“We wanted to make something focusing on the smaller, jibbery kind of stuff that we jib-roni’s have been up to in the 831. Cruise around, find stuff, mess around having fun on it, right?“- Andy Maguire
If you are into videos from AM:PM or 90 East, this might be up your alley. That disaster 180 on stairs is bizarre and awesome.
James Pinko Spring Edit
James Pinko rides with a style that the older crowd is sure to appreciate, but hopefully all demographics can get into it. I haven’t seen this many kickflips in an edit in a long time, and I’m loving it.
Read post →ESM TV #4
Check out this talented crew from Kraków, Poland. The filming is rough around the edges and the video quality is low, but these guys’ riding more than makes up for it. Check out the smith the ice 180 at 1:24, I’ve never seen one look that smooth in my life. Not the rollout maybe, but the transition from smith to ice is amazing. The only thing smoother is the banger clip, which is dead on perfection.

A brand new skate plaza opened up in the Inland Empire, Ca, so Larry Alvarado, Tyler Kirkland, Nick Tellez, JJ Anderwald, Brenden Tombow and Ryan Costa headed out with the camera to check it out. All the riders were stoked on what they found, and ended up filming enough for an edit easily.
