Fleetscene trails dream OVER

Alright boys. Stopped by the Hitches Lane jumps today and got an update. The area is now cordoned off with barbed wire and there is a big sign with 'Private Property. Entry by invitation only'.

I spoke to 2 lads digging there (presumably the farmer's relations). £3,000 fine for trespassing. Only the 2 lads there can use the spot. Usual problems cited - insurance, randoms, litter etc. People can only visit the spot when there's a jam on.

There will be something planned "after winter". The farmer doesn't want the place going public so jam(s) will be promoted selectively, via a notice on the barbed wire. Keep an ear out. FLEETSCENE MUST ATTEND.

So yet another spot goes missing and I am proper pissed off that I didn't send a 3. Dickhead.

Please can someone earn a 100k salary soon and buy a field

The new ride cover, if you haven't seen it, is absurd.

I made another VDO

Intro section complete. It is tough not to give all the good clips away in the intro, so there is a fair bit of artfag/filler. It is also tough to fit music to riding, so I've cheated and used slow-mo. Nobin's tables justify slow-mo, they look better the slower they go.

Anyway, video is here:


Fleetscene yo! from neil mac on Vimeo.

Holla back if you can't watch or if this slows down Fleetscene. The file is a casual 490mb. Hope you like.

Tomorrow We Work trailer2

Spot the two token skaters Danny and Darren, not actually watching the video giving the camera various numbers of fingers.







Stoked On Being Pumped

Weird one this, its not at all like the name or the trailer and B-roll footage suggested. I was expecting a real heavy hitter of a video in terms of riding standard with a soundtrack to match but it wasn't. It doesn't disappoint though.

Its more like an Indie film but for bmx. The shots are really good and the whole thing flows well.

Closest similar videos are Lotek Vancouver in that it looked really good but had some riding that could argueably have been done by unknown shredders, and Etnies Grounded for similar thought put into the shots.

eeeeer yeah what do i know though. marmite, love it or hate it

Old school VIDEO!!

Alright guys. Got bored of the rain and sick of studying so last night I knocked up a quick vid to remind me of sunny days at Weymouth.

Nick will cringe at the video quality and no doubt countless technical glitches, no attempt has been made to fit the song to the riding (I picked the Kooks cos they're cheery and from a seaside town), but all the clips are altogether in one place:

Weymouth sessions

The file is 300mb so you might be advised to make a cup of tea or amuse yourself. Otherwise I can post it somewhere that you can save it. Look out for guest appearances from the legendary 'Suicide Nick'...

Enjoy!
