The Come Up BMX 
It’s 1:45 AM. I am in bed. There’s a dog next to me. The dog farted in my face the other day while I was sleeping. Tonight I have already rotated the dog so his ass is facing away from my face.

Tom Dugan’s new Etnies edit came out yesterday. It is very popular and very good. Here are some things worth mentioning about it:

I just finally got around to watching this. Drew Hosselton is so fucking ridiculously good. Bobby Kanode is literally weird but I gotta admit he’s a boss on Final Cut, even when using cleared music apparently.

The other day we finally put the BMXFU x OSS Secret Long Beach DVD online (yes, that is the official name). I figured I’d make a list, explaining exactly what is going on during certain parts of the video. Trust me, there’s some good stuff in here:

This is way too good to only have 15,000 views. I refuse to accept that amazing, important street riding like this is only worth 15,000 views.

Edwin doesn’t just go around handing out public praise for riders, so when he says Ty Morrow’s new Ride cover is legit, you pay attention.

A lot has been written about Gabe. He’s easy to write about. Most BMXers have the same story. They ride bikes. And that’s it. They spend all their time riding bikes and when they aren’t riding they are sleeping and consequently when they get interviewed, nobody cares because they have nothing to talk about.

File under: provocative headlines. But seriously, this kid is fucking amazing. He’s got to be one of the most exciting ramp riders ever. Reminds me of Drew Bezanson.

This is so phenomenal. NOBODY makes skatepark edits this good anymore. Alex always editing to Nicki Minaj is so awesome.

Growing up, I didn’t film. I mean I did once in a while when we had a camera around but it was just for fun so we could watch the clips ourselves back at home. If I felt like doing something hard or scary, I’d just do it to see if I could.

There’s an old story that I’d always heard over the years about Brad Simms filming 18 clips in one day to finish off his Shook section.

They just put this up on The Trip and it really got me thinking. This came out 2 years ago. Garrett was working on his Deadline part then, just like he is now (although I think he’s probably pretty much done and is filming primarily for Fiend now) and these were some throw-away clips that he chose to use for a Premium commercial.

Fairly recently, I was reading a messageboard thread where somebody was bitching because they filmed a contest and the website who was supposed to buy the edit, didn’t come through with the money.

Whenever I go back to my Mom’s house in New Hampshire for Christmas, I have a routine where I always end up digging out a stack of old magazines and re-reading them all. Which is weird, because when we get current magazines delivered to the house I usually just look at the photos and throw them away.

I have a theory: the comments section is usually right. Okay calm down. What I mean is that usually if you were to take the responses to a video and give them a rating from 1 to 10, where 1 is pure hatred and 10 is unbelievable, uncontrollable love, and you found the average, that would probably represent a pretty accurate judgement of the video’s worth.

So here’s something I’ve never admitted before: The Come Up is broken. The homepage doesn’t work the way it should. I mean it does; everyone still checks it every day and everyone for the most part, enjoys it.

Whenever you end up in one of those 10-dudes-sitting-in-a-living-room-really-stoned-talking-about-videos kind of situations, this is one that always gets mentioned and immediately Googled.

It seems ridiculous to respond publicly so immediately but Jay Roe just Tweeted the following at me in response to Why The Web Video Won Part 2 which I posted a couple hours ago:

Kevin Kiraly’s Verde web video was released about a month ago. It has since garnered over 90,000 Vimeo views and nearly universal critical acclaim. However, despite the rave reviews, Kevin released an angsty tweet the day after the video’s premiere:

I spent a couple hours I didn’t have to spare writing a blog earlier and can’t figure out if I like it or not. So I figured I’d write something simple instead: shut the fuck up about crankslides.
