Death Pedal Two, Trailer #2

Death Pedal 2 Trailer 2 from Killa Kareem on Vimeo.

This is too funny not to post. Kareem put together a new trailer for DP2 that was put up on April Fools Day. So many dudes that ride freestyle fixed are ex-rollerbladers and I know there was a lot of talk about this on the Revival trip to NYC. Good to see Torey and Wonka killing it.

WRAHW

Torey's site WRAHW got a bit of a face lift at a new URL. Head over and see what Torey has been up to.

Goat Sprints

Here is a video by Corey MacGregor. These are the goat sprint races that took place at Jeff Curries birthday last year in Vancouver as far as I know. Corey is responsible for all the colour correction in the Revival and has also put together a documentary for the bonus features of the film which will be out soon. Amazing work Corey.

Toby Spunt

Here's an awesome shot of Toby at work. The photo was shot by Jennifer Tse and it really captures what work is like here in Toronto. Toby, Mosher and I all work or have worked as messengers here in Toronto so we're all real accustomed to riding in the snow. This winter has been pretty nice for us so far but you never know up here you could have snow in May if you're not lucky.

Mosher Bike Check

Like I said in the last post, I'm back at the blog and I'm going to try to keep this thing updated again so thank you all for your patience.

Here's Mosher's new bike check video. The bike is looking good these days and some of the tricks are bangin'. The stair gap was extemely impressive and I'm happy to see that Mosher finally got the 180 down the 6 stair at the art gallery done. We had tried to shoot that for Bootleg 3 but lets just say their were some issues with windows getting in the way.

Sorry For The Delay

Sorry for the lack of posts over the last month I have been extremely busy with the film and just life in general and haven't had much time at all to get to the blog. There have been so many things happening that it's really hard to know where to start. There was the RVA trick jam that went down with our whole crew in attendance. There have been more Revival premieres in places like Halifax, Manilla and a few others around the world. Mosher seperated his shoulder as well and will be taking it easy for the next little while.

I guess video news is probably what most people would like to hear so I'll start there. The Revival is on it's way very very very soon. You can expect some finalized news next week and a pre-order page to go up on The Revival website. The packaging is just waiting for one last touch and then we're all done.

There will most likely be some new cloths coming in April sometime as soon as school is wrapped up for me and I can focus on Skitch again.

Torey over at WRAHW just put out a sick tee so head over there and grab that for sure.

Wonka has been working on a clothing line called Grime St for the past little bit and put out an absolutely sick edit which I'm sure most of you have seen by now but if not, here you go. I would also like to point out to everyone that this does not mean that Wonka is leaving Skitch he will be supporting both his brand along with Skitch. Skitch is more of a family than anything so we all support one another with any new ventures we might be undertaking.

I promised my buddy Joe Piehler from Buffalo that I'd make a post about his new clothing line, Problem Child a while ago but then stuff got crazy hectic so here it is now almost a month late. Sorry Joe. Problem Child has some sick tee's and hats on the way. The one shirt to benefit Haiti is awesome to so please head over there and check out his stuff.

That will have to do it for this update and I promise I'll get back on here soon; life just needs to settle down a bit and then I'll be back at it. Thanks for everyone's patience.

Vienna

Vienna, Austria just hosted one of the final official Revival premieres and the place was packed! I'm always amazed when I see photos like this from around the world and it really makes me think that all the hard work of putting this film together was totally worth it. So thank you to anyone who has been to any premiere around the world, I can't thank you enough. In regards to the movie, we are just putting the finishing touches on the DVD and it will be hitting the streets very soon. I apologize for the severe lack of posts lately as I've been totally tied up with the film and have not had time to put work into the blog but I assure you that will be changing soon.

Wonka Holdin' It Down At Peel

Peel Sessions 02.04.2010 from John Prolly on Vimeo.

Prolly just posted up a video of Wonka getting wild off of one of the small concrete quarters at Peel. Barspins and 180's over the ledge were the order of the day.

Ed Glazer also upped a fresh photo from the same night of Wonka getting tucked going over the ledge.

Boulder Revival Premiere

Boulder had there Revival premiere the other day at the Boulder Indoor Velodrome. If you've never seen pictures from this place you have to check out the link. A velodrome with a mountain bike park in the center is something out of my dreams. A huge thank you goes out to Coastless for throwing the premiere and organizing such an awesome event.

Torey By John Hargraft

Torey in my mind is probably the most creative rider in this fixed gear freestyle game and this photo is no exception. This disaster to fakie was captured by our man John Hargraft at the Revival NYC premiere.

DEATH PEDAL 2!!!

By now you've seen this everywhere but I've been meaning to post it. Kareem seems like an awesome dude and the video features Wonka and Torey so definitely pick this up. Grab a pre-order here.

John Hargraft and Tom Mosher

Here are a couple new John Hargraft photos of Tom Mosher that were shot during the filming of The Revival here in Toronto.

Fresh New Banner Up On Trick Track

Trick Track just posted up a banner for us on their new site. The site looks absolutely amazing, so great job to everyone who put in the time and effort to make the new site happen. The banner features Tom Mosher at vert on the Peel Spot quarter pipe. Photo by John Hargraft.

Interview With Moral Collective

A week ago I sat down with Moral Collective, an online publication based here in Toronto, to do an interview about life, the film and the future of Skitch. The interview is very lengthy but I hope you all find it some what interesting. Read the interview here.

Skitch Crew Hold It Down At Mayhem

I'm just going to let the photos and videos do the talking. All and all it looked like one of the best weekends in fixed gear freestyle history.
