- Nathan Powell is almost over the broken clavical. He's been puttin' some work into his ramps so they're in shape when he gets back on his bike. Give him a couple weeks and he'll be back in action.


Nathan's yard is lookin' pretty sweet...


Nathan's been messin around on the trampoline bike since his collarbone isn't quite healed yet. Just be careful, the tramp-bike will get ya! (Just kidding Ben). Table top barspin?


Thomas Arend is livin' the grimy life. When he's not out collecting cans he's playin' in the dirt at the trails, or NOT showering. And not caring either.


- There's going to be a real cool event going on at Dodge Skatepark in Columbus on August 25th. Riding, good times, best trick contest, park facelift, live DJ, free art show, food and drinks, it's all goin' down. Check the flyer or www.myspace.com/f3deralcrime for details and directions.

- Some locals in Northern Virginia are petitioning for a park in Prince William County, check out the online petition, especially if you're from that area. http://www.gopetition.com/online/9146.html

- Jeff K. and the Midwestbmx.net crew have been workin' on a full length video, and the line up looks pretty good. There Perspectives crew will also be contributing some footage. Check http://www.myspace.com/95172710 or http://www.midwestbmx.net/ for more info. They haven't come up with a name for the video yet, so if you think you've got a good idea, let them know and you might name it for them. Also, Jeff and Dom just got some midwest t-shirts printed up that look pretty sweet. $12 a piece, go check em out.

- It seems like "It's On" came out just a few days ago, but trailers for the next Shook installment, "Break The Tape", are online now. There will be 3 exclusive trailers all together. The Def Grip and RideBMX edits are up now, but keep your eyes peeled to shookin.com for the full trailer. It'll be full of hot moves.

- Now that Ryan Howard has a car we've been gettin together and filming for the DVD a lot more lately. Here are a couple recent photos...


Ryan was lovin' these rails. I think he did every grind he knew, both ways. Oppossite feeble.


This is what street is about, workin' with your surroundings. Ryan found this old kitchen counter next to the dumpster, then went rail-to-feeble 180.
