Hell yeah. Basically dude saw a guy jacking a wheel off a locked up bike and got him on camera doing it then called the cops. The video cuts off just as the scene seems to be getting ugly but the Youtube description has a happy ending:

“Caught this dude stealing a wheel on Sullivan street in manhattan. Called him out on it and he tried to flip it on me and blame me once the cops came. The owner of the wheel eventually came by and this guy got arrested.”

Well done. Seen on PINP.

I normally don’t post non BMX stuff, but this is too good. Have a nice weekend.

(Also in case you don’t pick up on it, this was filmed by Paul Wall, of all people).

I am a bit late on this, but Prolly kept me filled in. Luckily, bicycling’s great defender, Lance Armstrong took it upon himself to defend bicyclists everywhere. A quick summary from his Twitter:

Scott Marceau visited us here in Texas earlier this month and he told me that he had learned to break the bottom part of a beer bottle out just by smacking it with his hand. Here’s the video proof. Funniest part to me was sophisticated photographer/amazing BMX rider, Chad Moore breaking it over his head immediately after. And for anyone wondering, yes, this is what happens when white people move to Brooklyn (we also start blogs and make stupid t shirts).

UPDATE: I, Adam, wrote this, not Mike, I’m just on his computer and don’t feel like re-logging in.

I don’t get this laser obsession thing. I don’t get it. This is a rap that Catfish recorded talking about his laser, and instead of helping me understand, it only made me understand less.

EDIT: I didn’t notice before but there’s an interview all about lasers here too.

LOL! Wow. Crime doesn’t pay, kids. Via Prolly, here’s the explanation, although it’s kinda hilarious if you just assume it’s a random act of violence too:

“Two thieves on a motor-scooter flew by and snatched a woman’s purse on a street in Wenzhou, China. Surveillance video shows a man riding a bicycle. As he was passing by the front of a hotel near where the thievery happened, he stopped, calmly got off his bicycle, picked it up, and then threw it at the thieves. The bicycle hit them, they lost control, and crashed to the ground.”

Damn.

Watch this and check out how immediately Mike V starts beating up the dude for grabbing the hockey stick. Like, come on man, you’re old, you’re rich and you don’t have anything to prove, is that really necessary? Oh wait, maybe you do have something to prove, because you’re sponsored by Affliction and henceforth you have a long, long way to go to prove to all of us that you’re not gay. Seriously watch this:

Oh and I almost forgot the reason I’m posting this is because in the initial video, the announcer calls Mike a BMXer. Come on. We’ve got enough douchebags running around on bikes, we don’t need this one added to our already impressive list.

Full disclosure: I thought Mike was awesome in 1999.

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with the world? BMXers have been doing amazing things on bicycles for 20+ years. But somehow this Danny guy comes out and does some crazy stuff on his mountain bike and gets 30 million Youtube views, 260 comments and a VW commercial. I’m not hating on Danny, he might be a nice guy and all but it rubs me the wrong way that what he gets all this attention just because he does this shit on a bike that isn’t built for the task. It’d be like if I showed up at the Tour De France on my BMX bike, no brakes, 4 pegs and all, and I finished it. Would it be impressive if I finished the race? Yes. Would it make me cool? No, it’d make me a douchebag who should have just bought a bike suited for the task at hand.

UPDATE: I just wanted to clarify my issue with this since unsurprisingly, many of you were too dense to understand what I meant. I don’t think that Danny is unskilled, he’s obviously very good at what he does, my point is that there are so many BMXers doing stuff similar to what he’s doing here, but better, that aren’t getting credited. Watch this video and tell me that you don’t think Garrett Reynolds could do everything in this video, but bigger, faster and smoother. He could. He could do barspins and tailwhips inserted in most of the tricks too. But because Garrett does his tricks on a little BMX bike and Danny does his on a big goofy mountain bike, Garrett remains a cult hero while Danny gets a VW commercial. If Garrett, Dakota and Sean Burns were all also starring in VW commercials, there wouldn’t be a blog worth writing here and I wouldn’t think there was any injustice going on.
