Tocco was in France recently drinking all the french wine and spinning all the bars. Heres a nice little video he’s just put out.

We made it back from Atlanta, the heat was unbearable and I’m not too sure how everyone managed to get clips. The only time that was ok was when the sun went down and that gave us about 2-3 hours per day of filming. The spots are great though and instead of relying on locals we just took to the road and found whatever suited us best, I find this is always the best way. Atlanta is a weird old place, full of money, wealth, crime and poverty. I will say this, the southern hospitality is great but their karaoke sucks.

Yesterday we were helped out by 1101 BMX shop in Atlanta, they set up a little meet and greet where the team were able to give out some brand new t shirts and a few products. They also set up a little demo in the parking lot of a strip club (which was weird) and even though it was in the 90′s we still managed to have a laugh and a ride. Thanks again to Chad Myers and all the Atlanta locals.

Just a quick post as we are currently in Atlanta filming and stopping at the 1101 BMX shop for a meet and greet. IZ is from cali and has just bagged himself a place on the trip as poor Randy broke his foot (get better soon man). We flew IZ a few parts and he was stoked but now we just want to mention that he is officially on our flow team. More coming from the trip and more coming from IZ.

I decided to catch up with Mr Blacksmith and see what’s going on in Portland right now and in general. Chester is a busy guy, always riding, sending emails and planning shit and when he’s not falling off or doing crazy shit on a bike he’s usually supping coffee…

Shane Weston just got pimped up to the PRO team on Eclat, we needed some kind of welcome edit but all Shane had was an iphone4 and said he could film the clips himself cos its HD man…. I was doubtful at first but hey its modern and shit haha. Welcome Shane, its good to have you on board!

Sean Burns – ‘Surfin for the Ugly Broads’. Nothing more to say.

Ashley moved to Long Beach recently, and by that I mean the big C..CALI, not Margate or that really long stretch of sandy rocks near Farley in the UK. I took some time to ask him about it and how life is living in the big old US of A and in return he took some photos on an old disposable camera of his new Eclat set up and his living arrangements.

Eclat is embarking on a summer trip and we thought we would have some fun by letting you guys guess where we are going? It’s not going to be the hardest competition in the world and if you have half a brain cell then you can pretty much guess from our clue droppings on here and Twitter, because we just cant remember. Visit blog.eclatbmx.de/comp/ to join the competition.

Darryl is everywhere right now, filming, ridng, you name it. He recently had a few Qs N As on Defgrip about how he multi tasks between riding and filming. Go read it.
