Info

Central Library is an online shop based in the North West of England that sells zines, DVDs and other interesting bits and pieces.

It’s a small time operation ran by people who have full time jobs, so if something takes a few days to arrive, bear with us.

Thanks.

Once again scoured the net for decent vids and stuff from the last few months. Hit the link at the top for stuff from @streetmystics, @rodiconnect, @masa_150stown and @imprimatur_bmx. Vintage @danprice74 photo snapped by @thesleepinggiantstore.
Here it is... the second part of Jambul's Bradford odyssey... Rude 'En Side B. A much talked about video that some never believed would finally hit the screens, now available to watch and enjoy from the comfort of your own home. One half skate video, one half riding video... and one half voyage onto the dark and damp streets of West Yorkshire - it's one hour and ten minutes of mind-altering mini-DV psychedelia featuring riding from Ginner, Big D, Fathead, Bradford Tom, Clarky, and pretty much everyone else Jambul has ever met - along with a Grade A part from the man himself. @rude_en
The new issue of @challengerbmxmag is the 'Sound Issue'. What does this mean exactly? Well, inside there's an interview with Will Taubin about the similarities between music production and street riding, an article about the mysterious soundscape of 'On the Down Low', a chat with the man behind 90s New England t-shirt company Sound, as well as photos of people like Mark Gralla, Pugwash and Joseph Frans. Another fine issue of the planet's finest bicycle newspaper - available now.

Now up on the blog - Peterlee's Tim Evans (@timbuk22) discusses five old video parts he's into, including sections from @danielcox35, @owainclegg, Theo Simpson and more. Link at the top...
Most people will have probably seen that @skapegoat_projects has been putting his trusty iPod Touch to good use lately, waxing lyrical about his favourite videos over on his Instagram, but for archive purposes... we've cobbled all his thoughtful posts together into one article. It probably seems like complete twisted logic (or a strange sign of the times) to publish social media posts after the fact onto a website, but considering Central Library is pretty much built on twisted logic (and a love of old videos), it seemed a shame to let Bob's wise words quickly get lost in the muck and mire of zany memes and smug breakfasts.
