Short Cuts

Notes From the Field: SHORT CUTS from FBM BMX on Vimeo.

Pure, uncut BMX life right here. It was an honor to double feature this last night, as well as be able to have this group of friends be the people I ride with on a fairly regular basis. To personality, originality, and two wheels! Oh, and here's my last edit for Country Clubbin'... peace out guys!

Ass of the 40oz from Andy Maguire on Vimeo.

Fuckin Helgie

Although "charbuckled" didn't make the cut, a lot of familiar Beevisms were on this person's list. Where's the beach, bro? Check the link for shits and giggles and dankles.

Stick this in your Corning Hole

I have a truck now... I want to go to there.

Country Clubbin's Customer Appreciation Award

Lost and found clips from Dave Escobar on Vimeo.

Dave Escobar may be Country Clubbin's most loyal viewer. I had the pleasure of riding with him last September, and it makes me happy that rad people enjoy this blog that likens itself to malt liquor. Fuck yeah Dave, I'll be back down south around March!

Jordan Newstuff

New home, new spots, new camera. Jordan Murdock, keeping it fresh in the park and on the streetz. Who is trying to pile in my Tacoma soon and visit this guy? He's got a pizza oven.

Don't Think Twice

Andy Maguire - Don't Think Twice from Andy Maguire on Vimeo.

I heard this song hundreds of times while working at Sessions last year, and it stuck enough to make me want to use it in an edit. I think "Don't think twice" is a relevant mantra for most riders. If you're trying to hit a trick and security is on your tail, don't think twice, just do it. Don't think twice to bust a move if you're in a new place with a killer set-up, and you don't know if you'll be back any time soon. If you're trying something, don't think twice because the second-guessing will probably mess you up more. Being assertive and committed are part of the game, and I think those are two valuable qualities that many riders come away with. Thanks for watching, more to come in 2014!

Gobbo-stoppers

This one goes out to our Canadian Comrade, Andrew Gobbo, who just shattered his knee cap to start off the new year. Get well soon buddy! Now, who's trying to go to Canada? Apparently, I can feel comfortable there with my flapping mouth and farty actions.

More, From the Land of Steinbeck

GSK - HARD LIKE THUNDA from GSK on Vimeo.

GSK - 00 from GSK on Vimeo.

Damn, so far Salinas has been running the game in terms of content from the 831. Makes me want to get off my butt and do something. I wonder what kind of stories John Steinbeck would be writing if he was alive in Salinas now...

Frist! post of the year...

Sacramento Weekend Edit #1 from Darren G on Vimeo.

Friend of country clubbin' Jordan Murdock, joined with friends of Jordan Murdock, to bring the first installment of Seek, Conquer, and Destroy. The scooter per capita in our state Capitol looks out of a hand. BTW, Happy new years, kooks!

Get It In, 2013!

It's the last day in the year, and the bay area proves it has some bosses to close the year out. I guess the video of Endo is a few months old, but I never saw it until now. Mesta, Dom, and Endo all doing what they do best. If you leave your new years resolution in the comments, you might win a 40oz of country club...

Can't get more Solid than this!

Solid x DPL from Tristan Adams on Vimeo.

Believe it or not, there is still more Solid bikes videography to showcase, which is pretty awesome since it features none other than Tristan Adams. This basic ass park looks awesome based on the lines these dudes are executing. Can't wait to shred some east bay parks with the biker boys tomorrow!

I got 3 for $5 on it!

Dark Mark shows us why we need to visit him, as well as Jim and Lisa out in Colorado. Weed is legal, parks are abundant, and they pay you for riding your bike. I think Coors Light might be the only evidence proving that Colorado isn't heaven on earth.

Solid Saturday

How did Solid Bikes completely dominate this week in web videos? Probably because they didn't drop their entire team, which seems to be the hottest trend in BMX right now. In fact, the Solid army only seems to get stronger, and straight out the gate, OG Gerald and young buck Tanner close out the year with some wild edits to be proud of.

4 Pegs and a Fun Tunnel

The streets just hopped the fence to you're neighborhood skatepark, and already the scooter kids are smoking blunts and shoulder tapping for some High Gravity. I'm glad everything worked out in the end for this splendid Lino Gonzalez approved edit, especially since I heard Mini-Daddy's agent and publicist were a nightmare to work with. I'm loving the Vern edits, the red-Iphone was a good investment for this bunch.

Glory Hole 2013 with Full Frame Collective from WEREHAUS on Vimeo.

Now let's transition to the other half of the Solid Bikes team riding a big smooth transition. There's more than one way to get pitted!

Hyper Viper

Patrick Kelly x Joe Mednikoff from Patrick Kelly on Vimeo.

Our neighbors over the hill keeping it freestyle with front brakes and full faces. No, this isn't the odd couple, it's pure bmx synergy!

The Other Salinas Skatepark

SALAS from Darren G on Vimeo.

Jordan and the boys making things look good at one of the shittiest parks in the world! No jk, you can fuck with Salinas and have fun. Props to Mario for always being gnarly on a bike!

There's Treasure Everywhere!

Brokleg TI Jam from Felipe Gonzalez on Vimeo.

Had a fun time getting of the island of Santa Cruz last weekend and shredding with the greater Bay brethren. And of course I got to see the Big Poppa bear himself, Mr. Chris(1+well). It is his birthday today, and he will be having a jam over the weekend at the Asylum. I'm pretty sure it's 18+, so it will probably get rowdy. Just a little.

In Taj We Trust

Nobody is perfect, and that's okay. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview with Taj, putting into perspective one of the rawest and raddest bike riders to pedal a BMX. Sometimes we all need a reminder to plot our own course and keep things pure. If we didn't listen to our gut, we'd probably shit our pants... a lot. And with that, check this link from a purely BMX'd out session I had with Jackson and Guy. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am thankful for all the kooks I've met and had the privilege to shred with. Including this guy below, who doesn't even celebrate Thanksgiving.

Wooden Ramps

Puyallup session 11/10/13 from Nathan Delp on Vimeo.

So it looks like Nate has access to a time machine and has provided us with a glimpse of what Fun Spot should look like. If you would like the Fun Spot to be a permanent fixture in the Santa Cruz shredding community, sign this waiver!  Or if you find yourself in town on Thursday, come check out Biker Texas Ranger, AKA Mark Hubbard's band, Oatmeal Cookie, play at Moe's Alley. $5 at the door, show starts at 8:30pm.  Gotta love this time of year in SC.  Nothing hints at winter more than 70 degree sunny weather.

Halloween Hellraisers

Sean Sieling x Nick Krauer in NorCal from Patrick Kelly on Vimeo.

Characters with Bikes- Steve Crandall from FBM BMX on Vimeo.

BMX is such a monster mash that I had to post these three videos of these very different homies on the spookiest day of the year. Shred til your dead and happy Halloween!
