The End



I'm sorry to say that I've decided to call it a day with Repost. I've quite enjoyed doing it for the last six months or so, but the site never really turned out the way I hoped. I wanted to provide a wide range of BMX and music content along with some miscellaneous other stuff, but I soon found that getting good BMX content that hadn't already been covered on sites like The Come Up was next to im possible. As for music and stuff, my instinct that the BMX world wasn't going to be interested in the kind of music I wanted to post about was probably one I should have listened to at the start.
Anyway, it's been fun but for now that's it. Thanks for visiting the site.

Agenda zine issue 3



I find the idea of .pdf zines interesting. There's something kind of stiff about .pdfs, they're rarely used for creative purposes but it makes perfect sense. You can use them to make a zine as colourful as you like with high-resolution photographs, not something that can be said of the old Xeroxed zines. There's a few around but I've never quite felt like any of them quite got it right, but of those Agenda has come the closest.
I realise that was a kind of lengthy intro. Basically, Tom Kikrby has travelled to some far-flung places including Japan and Ethiopia, and written about it in the newest issue of Agenda. It's pretty cool to see someone not afraid to mix BMX writing and photos with other things, as neither of those trips featured bike riding. If he uses a spell checker on issue 4 it should be spot on. Download it here, check out the Agenda site and let me know what you think in the comments.

Brian Histand section



Freak on FYS just posted this video section from the video Chocolate Milk, it's pretty good. The rest of the sections are here.

Edit - You might want to skip the first minute if you're not into crashes or George Michael.

Mosh web video - September


Eddie Cleveland

Mosh continue their monthly web videos with a mix section shared between Wolfman and Eddie Cleveland.

Bill



This is a bit of a mystery video but it could have gone un-noticed, so I thought I'd post it. It's a short collection of clips of a guy called Bill who is affiliated with Mass BMX. He didn't want to give himself a section in his own video so he threw these clips online instead. Link from The Come Up Board.

Aaron Ross web video



I'm not finding too many obscure videos at the moment, so I'll keep posting the big-time shit for now. Aaron Ross has got a new web video on the FBM site, and if you've seen his sections in Grounded or Chill Bro, you should know what to expect.

Watch BMX web video part 3



Here's the third and final part of the first Watch BMX web video. The combination of riding, creativity, colours, compression, editing, filming, everything make this stand out from most of the web videos I've seen recently. The only slight downers are the occasional dirty lens and a song that's been used a bit too much. Once you've watched the final section, check out the outro.
