Here’s the new one from Jim Newrick. Filmed during trips to Barecelona and Copenhagen last year, the second Cathedral video is eight majestic minutes upholding that classic British street riding tradition… stashing your bike in a Argos holdall in search of blue skies and bodacious spots.
The Whistling In The Dark
“This is a trailer for the Super 8 film I’ve been lazily cobbling together for the last ten years. The Whistling In The Dark should hopefully be finished this year.” – Sam.
Lost Collective
Filmed from 2016-2019 by Tom Sanders and edited in 2022 by James Cox, Lost Collective is 20 minutes of high class street riding filmed in London, Tokyo and beyond. There’s a lot going on here packed into the fairly concise run-time, with some real choice manoeuvres from people like Loz Taylor, Dan Niles, Marv, Richie Goff, Joe Foley, Sandy himself and plenty more.
Things That Were Good in 2023
It’s easy (and fun) to sit and slate all the useless stuff out there—but sometimes it’s nice to give a bit of praise to the things out there that didn’t suck—to look back at the year and think about the bits and pieces that made life a little bit more enjoyable. So before we’re plunged into 2024, here are a few recommendations and highlights from the year known as 2023, from a long list of people who make good things themselves…

Capital is the new one from 90EAST, featuring 25 minutes of detailed street riding filmed in and around the Boston area. Good to see Lino putting that pilot’s license to use with those aerial shots.
DVD copies are on the way.
Videodrome: Yazan Odeh
If you pay attention to bike riding outside of the mainstream, you might have heard of the name Yazan Odeh. He did a barspin on the cover of a Challenger Magazine, he closed out that recent Cult/ALYK video and he might be from Ohio. Anyway, seeing as we just got a few copies of his new zine in, we got him to offload some of his favourite videos—and as well as five stone-cold classics he dished out some non-riding selections too. Set yourself a bit of time aside to digest these flavoursome morsels. Photo by Mac Shafer.

Whilst we’re often led to believe that time is of the essence and everything must happen right this minute, in reality most things worth dong take a fair while. This interview with Dublin grind-man Eóin Shiel was started back in 2020—a lifetime ago in ‘media terms’—right back when he was adding what he thought were the finishing touches to his third video, Postcards. Nearly three years later, Postcards is finally done, and after much back and forth, so is this interview. Read it now, or read it in three years… what’s the rush?

From back-garden ramp set-ups to the big-top and beyond, James Hudson spent the 80s and early 90s fully engrossed in the world of riding and skating, not just as a rider, but also as a photographer and magazine-man—contributing snaps to R.A.D., editing SK8-Action and publishing BMX Now.
Here’s an interview with him about riding in the Midlands, life in the circus and the differences between fact and fiction…

Cathedral is James Newrick’s first foray into the crystal clear world of High Definition, featuring stuff filmed in Newcastle, Manchester and London over the past couple of years. As you’d expect, it’s a true feast combining serious dope manoeuvres and some real classy editing details. Who else is making riding videos inspired by Raymond Carver stories?
Lost Collective Prem
If this flier is to be believed, Sandy’s video actually exists. Is this a mere mirage? Has Sandy actually managed to sit down for a while and piece together a video? Or has a certain tattoo-coated bar-spinner been summoned back to the editing desk for one last job? Find out for yourself via the details above.
