The Man Who Cycled The World
If you didn't catch this programme last week on BBC1, I'd highly recommend watching it on the BBC iPlayer.
Mark Beaumont from Scotland broke the solo round the world cycling record earlier this year and what an achievement it was. 18,000 miles in 194 days, completely unassisted. Quite astounding.
Watch The Man Who Cycled The World.
August Nikes.
Bit later than expected is the arrival of August's Nike SB's. Some tasty morsels this month including the all new P-Rod 2 High and the magnificent Unfutura Dunk Hi's.

redvision
Was linked to this short on Vimeo the other day, a clip of some skating at that French spot that was quite prominent in Menikmati. What makes this a bit different is the fact that the footage was shot on a Red One camera, which shoots in ultra high definition at 120 frames per second.
Also, it seems that Elwood shortened some of the clips on the team page I linked to in the last post, but luckily someone was savvy enough to rip Kenny Anderson's full clip and fire it up on yoochoob:

Elwood
Elwood have just done a massive update on their site and have footage up from all the pro riders, great stuff too considering it's just throwaway web clip stuff. Kenny Anderson in particular has a sick clip, and John Rattray has a daft trick at Paisley Square, not one I've ever thought of myself anyway.
Check it out at Elwood's website.
On a side note, I hadn't seen this until today:
Geoff Rowlet is insane. Frontside flip.

Gravis IV Skateboarding
Just arrived at Focus is the first installment from the Gravis Skateboarding project. Have a wee gander below to see what it's all about.
For over a year we have been working on a new project here at Gravis, part of our brand’s DNA since day one. We feel that it is now time to confirm the rumors.
Welcome to Gravis IV skateboarding.
Over the last few months our dedicated product team has worked with Arto Saari to develop our first ever performance skate footwear collection. Over the next year we will introduce four deliveries of product exclusively created by our team of skate athletes.
The first product released under the Gravis Skate program is the Viking Hi LX Ltd, a limited release of the Viking, designed and built from the ground up by Arto Saari and Gravis. This product line will be sold exclusively in skate shops around the world.
Over the next few months we will build the content and update the next additions to the IV skateboaring team, stay tuned.
The stamp of approval for all products specifically built for skateboarding is the Gravis IVsk8 word mark and IVsk8 icon. This is the official emblem of the Gravis skateboard team.
Welcome to Gravis for skateboarding.

New Blueprint goodies
Both stores just got a restock of Blueprint's new Pachinko team series decks, a bunch of nice new brightly coloured graphics to match the.... less than bright Summer we've been having. Still, it's gonna be nice and sunny tomorrow, so I'm gonna set one of these bad boys up and get my evening shred (read: many games of SKATE) on after tomorrow's shift.
Also, look out for the new Flourish pro series decks in the next week or so:
And if you haven't done so already, go and check out Blueprint's 'Tales Of The Black Glove' team blog over at http://www.blueprintskateboards.com/feature.php?id=113 too.
Have a merry fun weekend troops!
