Hoang Over Toothpicks

Ben Lomond and the Dirt Bowl feature briefly in this bike video made in 1930. Chris San Agustin filmed a couple clips and gives Dusty a shout here. In a slightly related note the Canyon is not too into the idea of web video exclusives. In this case I understand it increases traffic to two entities interested in making money (one by monetizing 15 year old's web behavior and the other by selling exlcusively black, red or white parts and bikes) but personally I feel like the internet and even bmx have always been about the dissemination of free ideas and entertainment. Some might even contend that you are undoing some of the free publicity a web video generates by looking miserly. Or maybe it's just sour grapes because I can't embed a good video. No matter.

so do you plan on not watching web videos anymore either?

personally i wish all web videos would end and go back to dvd days
even though i'm highly addicted to them.

i tried not posting web videos but i like having them on the blog for easy acess since theres so many to sort through, for a minute i've been slowing down since you covered all the good ones hahah
