This is rad on a bunch of levels. Full DIY shred craze from Tallinn, Estonia. No idea who these dues are but they are ripping. Maybe this helps: Пришло время (а может мы погорячились) выложить небольшой демонстрационный ролик видеопроекта, над которым мы работаем в течение этого года. Не буду многословным (слово к катанию не пришьёшь), просто смотрите демку, она полностью отражает атмосферу грядущего видео. Таже скажу, что трюки, использованные в демке – это черновой материал, большинство из которого годно только для демо. Via The Come Up.

Nike 6.0 BMX has joined the fight against the planet’s over reliance on gasoline by teaming up with Beat Gasoline, an organization trying to reduce gas use. To launch their campaign they dropped this rad PSA of Dennis Enarson, Garrett Reynolds, Nigel Sylvester, and Mike Spinner ripping around London and demonstrating what we all know is true: skating or riding any city is way more fun than driving a car. They are also running a contest for the best home made videos illustrating this point. Winners will get product and a donation to charities of their choice. Go here to enter.
