It’s been all about filming for Chris Silva lately. He has/had multiple projects going on, and still had three and a half minutes of footage for his boys at Macneil.

Greg Flag and Taylor Elvy set up a few grind boxes in an alley and really make the most of the set up.

Ride has a bike check up with Kay Kay and he drops this interesting fact:

“The timing between your Verde online-section and your departure from the team is pretty odd considering how long you filmed for it. Any thoughts or regrets with that?

No, not at all. I had a lot of good footage that I filmed over the course of being on Verde and they treated me good, so I wanted to give back and release it anyway, even though I had quit a week before we put it out.”

Behind the scenes stuff! They obviously did a good job keeping it on the low low and his web video dropped to much acclaim. In the interview he also mentions that Macneil didn’t hit him up, he hit them up because he was already a fan. Kiraly is currently in Australia and I have no idea why or with who.

You are excused if you missed Kay Kay’s big sponsor switch because we posted 30 things yesterday. Well here’s his new set up and some words from Macneil:

“MacNeil Bikes would officially like to welcome Kevin Kiraly to the team. We couldn’t be happier to bring Kevin’s focus on progression and documentation of technical street riding to our team. As a resident of California, he has been able to enjoy great weather this winter while filming a ‘welcome to MacNeil’ edit that is in the works. Along with that, he is about to leave on a trip to Australia, so you can expect to see and hear a lot more from Kevin and MacNeil in the near future.

We are super excited to have Kevin as a part of the team and have a lot of great things lined up with him as well as the rest of the team in 2012!”

Well, I definitely didn’t know this was happening:

“After two short years, we’re sad to announce that Kevin is leaving Verde and moving on to Macneil. I met Kevin while he was competing in park at the very first Baltimore Dew Tour. As one of the few brakeless riders on the park course, Kevin immediately stood out with his ability to mix big and tech tricks. Shortly after, he joined the Verde team and began to focus on street and filming. While still capable of doing nearly every ramp trick known to man, you’d hardly know it as he focuses on his ever-growing arsenal of tech street tricks. I’m sure we’ll all be amazed by the switch and opposite subtleties that have become synonymous with Kevin’s style as he joins the Macneil crew this year. From everyone at Verde and The Greenhouse, we wish him the best of luck.

I’ve hated Doritos my whole life. Something about the smell always grossed me out. I also hate most salad dressings, green olives and pickles. I’m not sure what it is but those foods all sort of belong in the same flavor category. I know it’s not a fluke either because one time when I was in 4th grade at lunch, this girl asked me if I wanted some Oreos. I obviously said yes so she gave me a plastic bag with 3 Oreos in it. I ate them. They tasted weird. I started to feel sick to my stomach by the time I finished them. I looked at the last Oreo and saw tiny orange crumbs on it. I pointed the crumbs out to the girl and she said that they were Dorito crumbs. Her Mom had packaged the Oreos and the Doritos in the same bag. Who does that? Chips and cookies (to the extent that an Oreo is a cookie) should not be packaged together, ever. Anyway I then proceeded to puke up my lunch, the Oreos and the Dorito crumbs. In this edit, Dillon Lloyd and Greg Flag drive to Las Vegas to ride some parks and eat some Dorito flavored tacos.

After the jump check out a new print ad featuring Andrew Lazaruk.

There is so much ridiculously tech stuff in this.

These are some leftover clips from Macneil’s time on tour out in NYC.

Macneil is now helping out Samson Ross through Triple Six Distribution in Australia. Here’s his “Welcome” edit.

“Here it is, after announcing the new team in September, you can now check out the first video from MacNeil UK; Billy Cooper, Vinny Mayne, Mike King and Ben Green (TM) hit the streets of Spain’s capital in early November to film for this new welcome edit. Be sure to pick up the latest copy of Ride UK to see the full article on the trip.“- Seventies Distribution
