Sunday Friends: Sergej Babikov

08.26.10

Look like we have a Sunday Friends from Latvia and it’s a Black Magic Model C!  I do believe this is the first one in Latvia which is courtesy of Sergej Babikov.  It’s great to see that the Model C’s geometry is being understood and accepted all over the place!  There’s a few more photos after the break.  Privet s rajona!

The 80’s are like back!  Here is Full Factory’s head honcho, Bobby Parker’s brand new white Sunday Third Wave!  If you didn’t know, Full Factory is Sunday’s distributor in the USA. Just throw some white mags on there and this would easily be found blasting Pipeline Skatepark back in 1986!  Follow this LINK to see his full bike check!  Totally gnarly!

Mega Model-C?

08.18.10

Check this out!  Jim Bauer jumping the new Woodward Mega Ramp on his Model C!  I do believe this is a first for a Model C.  From my experience, I would rather jump that far on a 24″ than a 20″ due to it being way more stable.  The cool thing about this set up is that you can test jump it by jumping increments at a time.  Actually jumping 25ft as a test jump would be really scary!  So sick!  Nice work Jim!  And nice work Jeff Z who shot this photo!

Crankslides with Jim C.

08.13.10

Download: MP4 | iPOD

So, you want to learn crankslides?  Well watch this video and learn how to do them.  Let me give you some major pointers first.

  • Ride absolutely parallel with the rail.  If you have any momentum going into the rail then chances are you will go over the bars.
  • Learn to stall the trick on a low rail first.  There’s no sense in trying to slide a trick that you can’t even hold.
  • To land on the rail just bunnyhop and turn between 45 and 90 degrees.  Put about 90% of your weight on your foot.
  • Land on the pedal and crank arm.
  • Don’t lean back.  You’ll loop out.  Just stay centered over the bike.
  • Don’t pull the brakes.  You won’t be able to adjust your positioning.
  • To ride away just go off the end of the rail and ride away.  It’s not too hard.
  • Use a sprocket guard because chances are you will break a chain if you don’t.  Odyssey MDS sprocket works the best.

Once you’ve figured them out, then take them to bigger rails, up rails, do them jump over, switch, barspin in it, 180, frontside, pop out early and do trick into and out of them.  For more crankslide footage, go check out the I Like Crankslides video from last summer.

Tom Arkus Summertime!

08.10.10

Download: MP4 | iPOD

Check out Tom Arkus‘ latest video filmed mostly at his home trails of Hazelwood.  Most of the longer sequences are the actual lines at his home trails.  The trails are super long, big and wooded, so you can’t just stand in one spot and film.  We went a week or so ago and now I fully understand how they work.  Tom makes it look easy when he should probably be scared.  Look for photos of Tom riding his home trails in an upcoming issue of Case Magazine.  In other Tom news, him and his wife just bought a house.  Congratulations!
