Mike Spinner runs through his bike set up and then shreds his back yard ramps. There is no mention of popular hip hop entertainer “Riff Raff” in this video but I assume he was there.

In this episode of “The Program”, Austin Coleman laments the fact that “people don’t help people anymore” and has the bright idea to go to the nearest WalMart, eat shit all over the place and see who helps. While this is certainly a novel social experiment, its poor execution and lack of a conclusion leave you wondering, as with most of these videos, what was the point? But given the outrageousness of episodes past, a point isn’t something thats necessarily required for The Program.

2012 is the year of BMX reality shows. Mike Spinner, Corey Bohan and Nigel Sylvester have all gotten their own shows on Youtube. Not quite as cool as having a reality show on TV, but as the barrier between conventional TV and online TV slowly fades away, this stuff is sure to become more and more common. I’ve been super busy lately and today I realized that I haven’t seen the new episodes for any of these so I decided to sit down, watch them all and review them. Let’s do this.

Corey Bohan’s Wizard Of Aus Episode 1.

Who: Corey Bohan. You know, the guy who won Nora for dirt 18 years in a row.

What: A Red Bull backed reality show about the most marketable Australian since Steve Irwin.

Motivation: Corey’s already a minor reality star thanks to his famous girlfriend. As Red Bull expands their original online video content, why not throw Corey in the mix? He’s had a few bad PR moments over the past year but anyone who’s spent a couple minutes with him usually agrees he’s a class act so he’s an obvious candidate for a this kind of thing.

Views: 17,000 in 1 day.

Likes: Multiple references to Corey’s punk rock past in the form of a Descendents shirt and Sam I Am playing his birthday party. Corey’s off his bike but he still managed to get his sponsor, The Set some shine and there’s actually a lot of really good riding from all of his teammates in here, which I didn’t expect.

Dislikes: Wasn’t there an FBM video of the same name? And I’ll just say it so you guys don’t have to: not enough Audrina.

Comments: 8. Almost all positive. Even the guy who called Corey irrelevant and the show, “dreadful” acknowledges that he “likes” Corey. Much better ratio than the 11 comments that the trailer got, which caused Corey to let the haters know what he thinks of them.

Best Moment: B Salad, no doubt the most influential BMXer to come from Australia since Bohan himself, feebles a massive rail.

Overall: Solid. Corey’s not the most over-the-top personality so he enlisted his good friend, Robbo to keep things zany and he’s off his bike so he had his teammates cover the riding. I’ll be watching the next one.

It’s all about the logos.

This guy Sean Klitzner (I’m comfortable linking to his channel with the knowledge that absolutely none of you will actually subscribe) is one of those guys who is trying to make a name for himself by optimizing his Youtube channel, decking it out with ads and buying Youtube subscribers (4500 subscribers and your videos all have ~1000 views? Okay bro) met up with Mike Spinner and Austin Coleman and tried to be funny and failed.

I didn’t think these two would be able to one up the Cheez It video. That is til I saw Mike Spinner sitting cuddled up on the couch with a dog.

Spinner being labeled “Pro BMX Rider/Landlord” is priceless. How much do you think they got paid to shill for Cheez-It’s like this?

TCU trivia, Cheez-It’s are probably my favorite food in the entire world. I am being paid zero dollars for saying this.

Network A are on a mission to take over the TCU home page. Like, how am I not going to post a video of Mike Spinner and Austin Coleman that has an American Pie ad throughout 80% of it? I really don’t know what to say about this. I don’t think I’m ever going to forget this.

Here’s a look at how Mike Spinner does it at his local skatepark.

Mike Spinner and Austin Coleman have a reality show. Sure, it’s a reality show on Youtube, but still. What have we done as BMXers to deserve this gift? This may just be the greatest sociological experiment of our time. I, for one, will be a loyal viewer and will be embedding anything related to this over the coming months.
