Although he’s had more “day in the life” videos than almost any athlete out there, when you have a life like Nigel Sylvester, there’s never a shortage of material for another. Nigel’s latest “Go All Day” from Gatorade is by far the raddest yet. From shredding mad spots in the city to an impromptu photo shoot at 21 Mercer with none other than Mel D. Cole to a late night wile out at BOB, Nigel gets it in. If you are from NY you’ll recognize mad people in this video, if you’re not you’ll appreciate it for its sick cinematography and banger backing track from Donnis.
Speaking of Mel D Cole, the photographer was also asked recently by Nigel Sylvester to play a photog in Sylvester’s new short film. In playing a lensman, Cole actually shot Sylvester and will be releasing the set tomorrow on Village Slum.
Yes BMX riders have their very own tech decks, they are called Flick Trix and they’ve just hooked up a mini version of Nigel Sylvester’s “Chocolate” Mirraco frame ready for serious finger shredding. Authentic right down to the stickers, each bike’s got working cranks, interchangeable wheels, pedals, handle bars, grips and seatposts. You can cop them now at all the major toy stores. Another look after the jump.
Between 6.0, Gatorade, and the Maestro, Nigel Sylvester has been getting more internet face time than Kanye. But you can’t say the kid doesn’t deserve it. Next up is this “Day in the Life” project Nigel did with 13th Witness, who told us how it came together, “I was shooting with the Maestro for his final NYC episode of “Maestro Knows” and Maestro called Nigel to come hang out. We were taking pictures and fucking around and we exchanged info. I had been wanting to make something action packed so I said ‘fuck that, I need to make a video with this guy.’ We met up, shot it and there it is.” Expect more to be bubblin from both of these talented dudes.
When you’re on fire, you’re on fire. In more Nigel Sylvester news, the Queens ripper is dropping an exclusive new Mavrk-Mid next Monday with Dan’s Comp. Dubbed as “Chocolate, but for your feet,” Nigel hooked this kick up from top to bottom with black on black detailing, stingray leather swooshes in alternating gold and black, and an ice gel toe bumper with quilted purple lining, what?! Not bananas enough – the right foot has a toe box sewn in ostrich leather while the left is pure croc. Seriously. Good luck getting a pair of these. More looks after the jump.
BMX G Nigel Sylvester and the other G, Gatorade, recently went on a tour of the US called “Because I Grind.” Touching down in Hotlanta, MIA, Oceanside, California, and Las Vegas, Nigel and his crew chopped it up with local riders and took in the unique flavor of each spot. Now’s he connected with none other than The Alchemist for a series of videos from the tour. Part one is above. Stay tuned for parts 2-4 later today.
This is pretty random but a great example of how shit just be poppin in the city. Shut Skate Mechanics sold out of the Deathbowl to Downtown DVD’s we told you about last week. Which isn’t much news in itself until you learn that none other than Nigel Sylvester got the last copy. Small world yo! They should have more in later this week.
The anticipated collaborative project between Nike 6.0 and Todd Selby goes live on Selby’s site TheSelby.com tomorrow. Until then you can catch a sneak preview of exclusive photos and videos from Selby’s shoots with Ben Horan, Nigel Sylvester, Garrett Reynolds, James Stewart, Mason Aguirre, and Michel Bourez right over here.
Word to H Town. Check out this vid from Evesborough Films featuring the NiceGuys at their event with Gatorade and Nigel Sylvester at The Tipping Point a little while back. Man, Houston really got it crackin, that has to be the meanest bunch of birds at a BMX party ever!
