My god, we must be doing something right to be treated with all this new Hamilton footage these days. A fufanu or two, some tire slides, and a quick session on the OSU curved wallride all make for a classic edit for Federal Bikes. This is super bro-cam but somehow very appealing… Any filming purists against the use of Glidecams will surely love this.

This is a departure from Steven’s previous web edits, in a good way, with a full 4+ minutes of street clips. Standout moves include the gap to unwaxed pedal grind 180 on the downledge, a bunch of weird bottom bracket/pedal grinds down some rail ledge setups, and a fufanu on a rooftop with presumably a huge death drop on the other side. So good. Spotted on Animal.

There’s been a lot of controversy and talk about Steven Hamilton’s interview in The Albion. Well it’s been about a year so here’s Steven’s comment on the interview:

“No not really. I haven’t actually seen it but my friend took pictures of his and e-mailed it to me so I could read it and I didn’t really like it. When he showed up to do the interview he said he didn’t know it snowed it Ohio. I thought that was funny. I had never met him before and he wanted to stay at my apartment so I tried to freak him out a little bit. I stayed up all night and shaved one sideburn, I was glad that got printed I thought that was funny. There was a couple of other jokes I was able to get printed too since he knew nothing about me. As far as the riding goes, I think I would have done better if I would have had brakes. I had recently built that bike up and hadn’t put my brakes on yet. I thought the table top photo was pretty cool and he didn’t mention that I normally do tables the other way and I had only recently started doing them that way. The photos of the interview my friend sent me were black and white and that photo looked good in b&w but I guess the interview is in color. There was a apart I think right before the “the kind is dead” (haha) part about me hitting the curved wall-ride. You have to remember it’s cold as shit out, I have to gap into the wall over the snow ( it isn’t shoveled inside the wall ) instead of just riding into it like I normally do, and I’m brakeless. I thought is would be a cool photo because I’m curved wall-riding over snow, I’m pretty that was opposite too and I x-upped out of it. I thought it would be a cool photo wall-riding over snow and with the x-up, I’m sure he wanted the opposite to 270 but I just wasn’t up for it in the snow that day. Also remember not everything you read in a magazine is true. There’s a number 12 on my door and there always has been, I have no idea why he said there was no number on the door. There was a part where I said something about being in the dessert and there’s no one around, for some reason I feel like I never said that. I wish he had used one of the million paper pads and pens in my cluttered apartment and taken some notes because I know he didn’t print a bunch of the stuff we covered which I think would have made for a good read, or sent me the audio files to transcribe for him because I’m sure I could have made out more of what I was saying.”

Read the rest here. For those of you who read this and read The Albion’s interview… what do you think?

Another Steven Hamilton webbie that only makes sense to him. Can you believe there are over 100 of these things? Check a few more recent ones after the jump.

Spotted on the Animal site, so hopefully it’s cool to post it. I hope so, cause it’s a classic section.

Edit: Elliot Van Orman sent over a link from his Vimeo account, which is in better quality than the first youtube link we had up. In thanks for him supplying a better link, go check out his site, please.

Steven Hamilton’s “Cuts” section is finally online, and it’s worth the wait.

Along with this video, I’ve been made aware of a pretty interesting blog he wrote up where he talks about how much money he has made throughout his time as a pro and even goes as far as to state that he is better than most of the Federal pro team and he refers to the nose manual as “an idea he came up with”. Why he’s feeling the need to air out these things, I’m not sure.

Steven has a top 5′s over on ESPN featuring his top videos, riders, tricks, spots, riding tips, travels & more. His Federal part is up there too. Classic. Check it out.

Steven has been the source of many rumors over the past few years and I’ve heard from reliable sources that there’s a lot more going on than just a simple drug addiction, but there’s no use speculating. Not sure why the post was removed, what Steven’s plans are going forward from here or what exactly he’s been using, but we at The Come Up wish him the best and hope he can come out on top of this situation.

Here’s the latest in the Hood Antics web video series. It’s so awesome to see some recent footage from Steven Hamilton that isn’t edited while in an acid induced state to T.V. static. Get into it.
