I’m a big fan of DWOK and everything they’re doing. Here’s another awesome DWOK edit featuring Dallas Davis.

“Dallas and crew rolled out to Austin, Texas for a 10 day trip of curbs and foot high rails. After blazing through a 22 hour drive, Dallas began to stack footy and grind everything in site. This is the final product.” -DWOK

Carlos Deleon is a 13 year old shredder from Montreal who’s been riding for under a year… damn. How this kid has barspins so dialed already blows my mind, and wait until he grows in to the bike. Filmed by edited by Vlad at Imported.

Carts of Darkness by Murray Siple, National Film Board of Canada

For those who haven’t seen it, Carts of Darkness is a documentary about a group of homeless guys in North Van who bomb hills on shopping carts. It’s a great combination of entertaining gnarly stuff and serious subject matter. And it has a badass soundtrack. I was thinking about this film today for some reason, and though it was worth a post.

Carts of Darkness also has a loose BMX connection through one of the guys behind the lens. Mike McKinlay worked as a videographer on the film – If that name sounds familiar, he produced a series of short pieces with Travis Collier that were pretty memorable. Mike’s brother Sam also had a rad photo in Chase from the old Winfield park, which (legend has it) the two designed to look like a something that would either shock or amuse incoming air traffic. Check some of Mike’s work out here.

I know the indoor edits have been plenty on here lately, especially from Joyride 150, but it’s been a harsh winter and you’ve got to survive any way you can. On top of that, this new edit of Brandon Webster hits in all the right places with a fury of technical tricks. So many good lines in this video, and I hear rumour of a 3 way split Joyride edit involving Webster and other young talent coming soon.
