On Saturday April 26, 2010 the Tribeca Film Fest premiered The Birth of Big Air, a documentary about Mat Hoffman and all of the awesome stuff he has done for BMX. The film was really inspiring, and is something every BMX rider, and even non-bmxers should see. Mat really does not care, and is a true legend. The film was produced by Jeff Tremaine, and directed by Spike Jonze and Johnny Knoxville, and they definitely told a great story. Here are some photos from the premier, and the vert demo Mat and friends gave afterwards, where Mat rode for the first time in almost three years after a car crash destroyed his shoulder. The Condor flies again.

The Birth of Big Air | Free NYC Premiere
Relive the bygone days of the drive-in movie theater (minus the car, plus the bike), and enjoy a movie outdoors at the Tribeca Film Festival Drive-in. "Big Air" is going to be shown at the World Financial Plaza in Manhattan. Demos are slated to start at 6:30pm and the official premiere starts at 8pm. Hope to see you there Saturday evening with or without popcorn. Should be a free & sweet treat!

Terrible One is selling a bunch of one of a kind, hand-sewn wallets made of recycled bicycle tubes. All the money goes towards Mike Aiken's med bills.
TLP Photo Feature | Andrew McMullen
Andrew recently made the move to NYC all the way from Seattle, and somehow ended up living in the apartment directly below mine, proving that the world is indeed a small place. I never met him before he moved here, but knew his video and photo work through Defgrip. Since his move, we got to hang out a bunch and I've gotten to see more and more of his stuff, and am constantly impressed with what he is doing. He definitely keeps busy with the multiple video projects he always seems to be working on, but still makes the time to produce some great still images. Andrew and the Defrip crew are also working with the Bike Film Fest, getting together this years BMX films, so that should be a treat. Click the image to see Andrew's point of view.

Gems
This video came up in discussion over the weekend. I learned so much from it. It was very influential on all my riding styles. I hope it influences you in some way. I finally found this gem via bmxmdb.com. You can find this as well as other classics over there for instance internet gratification.

Bike Kill Barcelona
Bike Kill is a mosh pit of bikes and fun that the Black Label Bike Club puts on every year in Brooklyn. Unfortunately I've only made it to one of them so far, but it was amazing to say the least. Imagine full sprinting at a box jump, all while dodging tons of people and bikes, trying to roast the box, then landing onto a beer drenched runway, and skidding your way straight into a dance party. That about sums it up, for me at least. Anyway, Bike Kill made its way to Barcelona, and here is a pretty cool video to prove it.
TLP Feature | Scott Marceau
I've been into Scott's work since the early days of the OG Snake Lounge, when him and the rest of the crew lived upstairs from me. There is definitely tons of creativity coming from the Snake Lounge crew, and Scott is no exception. He is no doubt a skilled BMX photographer, but Scott takes his photography beyond that, and explores what else is possible. From timeless snaps behind the windshield, to skateboarding, to midnight missions in the woods, Scott's work covers many different genres, all while sticking to a distinct style. He is also talented with the video camera and showcases some of his work over at his site, Push It A Stop.

Danny's signature frame had been updated for 2010 and you can get a good look at it over on the Terrible One site. The Ruben frame is also looking very slick.
