Barspin Down a 6!

Hey everyone! Today I did a barspin down a 6 set. I had been wanting to bar this set for so long... today I just decided it was time. After my OCD run-up thing, I got it first try. I did it quite a few times after that to obtain an awesome picture. It definitely boosted my confidence with barspins and now I feel I could do em on anything really. On another note, Mylikes advertisements will be done on mondays along with a video blog, I will call it "Mylikes Mondays."

No More Rider of the Month

Hey everyone. You can tell by the title, but there is no more rider of the month. I got a whopping one submission last month, so without any competition its not worth it. sorry if it broke your heart, but i got no comments about it so i figure everyone doesn't mind.

-Marcus Pewitt

Another Edit

Hey everyone. I decided i want to film another edit. I have nothing better to do. It's thats time of the year that the weather uncooperative though, so it may take a while to make. I will try and get more street spots in it, the last one had a lot of park. It just will be a little bit harder because it will start getting dark two hours or so after the schools are closed which doesn't leave me much time to get stuff done. But will try and think of some new lines to do and see what happens.

-Marcus Pewitt

The Edit is Done!

Hey everyone. The long awaited Fall Edit is finally done. I will be uploading it in the morning tomorrow, around 11 A.M. Pacific Time (GMT-8). I hope you guys enjoy the video, I put a lot of work on it and i am especially pumped on the banger because it was my first time doing that trick off a ledge. Keep your eyes pealed and it will be out before you know it! Thanks :D

Some Info on My Next Few Videos and Edit

Hey everyone. Just wanted to give you all another update. I have a bike check that is going up tomorrow as promised. It will be up the morning after i wake up. Later in the evening, or on Sunday morning, I have a session at Lynndale Skatepark I am going to upload. It is a pretty nice little session and I had a lot of fun. I learned a new trick there (kind of) that you will see in the edit, and I got 180 bar airs on a legitimate bank. I was pretty pumped on that and kept just doing them. I also got super comfortable with barspins out of the bowl which i am pumped on as well. The edit needs 24 more seconds of footage, the clip I have planned will take up around 5 of that, so I am not too sure what to do for the last 19 seconds, but I will think of something I am sure. I am pretty proud of the edit so far and i hope you guys enjoy it. it has quite a few barspins, but I am getting comfortable with them finally so I just like to do them off everything. Well, I am done rambling on... Hope you guys will like the next few videos!

FRAME IS HERE :D

Hey everyone! My frame got here yesterday. My friend built it up while i was at the dentist. We are going to a skatepark today. Tomorrow morning i will upload the time lapse of him building it, and then later in the evening i will upload the video from the skatepark today. It is great to have the bike back. Hope you guys enjoy the next few videos!

-Marcus Pewitt

NO NEW FRAME YET

I still have yet to receive word on my new frame. I called them earlier today but the guy still was not in it looks like. I have no Idea when my frame will be here, so there is no need to keep asking me. Once it is here, everyone will know. Trust me. Im going to slap bike together and have a nice long bike ride. It has been forever it seems like since i last rode my bike. Hopefully it is here soon, otherwise i dont know.


-Marcus Pewitt

Frame Update

Hey everyone. So i contacted cardinal and they are warrantying my frame. They only have the cantero frames, so they are going to send me one of those it looks like.

Found A New Skatepark

Hey everyone. Been slacking with the updates lately, been kind of busy, But yesterday me and my friend, Sean, found a new skatepark. We didn't get there until late so we could not film. Well, we did film, but the footage looked horrible. We are going back tomorrow to get some footage and it should be a pretty good time. Hopefully the weather cooperates with us, otherwise we will have to go another day. Stay tuned to find out.

-Marcus Pewitt

I hope you guys like it, and subscribe his channel so you don't miss it.

-Marcus Pewitt

New Skatepark Video

Hey everyone. A new skatepark video will be up tomorrow morning. We decided to go today and tear it up as usual. Both of my friends got 180's out of the bowl which is pretty awesome. I did some barspins out of the bowl and some huge 360's among the usual stuff. I am going to edit the video once i am done typing this, so i hope you guys will like it. The shoe review will now be moved to Friday, so long as nothing else comes up.

-Marcus Pewitt

Daily Video Spot

Hey everyone. Today i went out and rode the daily video spot. The one with the hill i do footjam whips on and the road and stuff. I filmed a few things and i am putting that video up tomorrow. I am also going to be doing a review on the shoes i have, the Nike 6.0 Mavrk 2 shoes. That video will probably be up Thursday, as i will film it tomorrow. Hope you guys will like the next two videos, thanks.

Slow Motion Tuck No Hander

Super Slow Motion Barspin

Hey everyone. So i am currently making a super slow motion bunny hop barspin video. I know i have two or three i made in the past, but they sucked because i didn't really take my time with them. This one i am editing nice and slow so it comes out correctly with minimal ghosting, as i know better settings to use from previous slow motions. It will be up tomorrow morning if all goes as planed. So keep your fingers crossed and check it out when it is out tomorrow.

-Marcus Pewitt

Next Few Videos

Hey everyone, this is just about plans for my next few videos. Tomorrow, i am uploading a park video with me, jakin, and sam. I am also going to ride OV middle school tomorrow, and make a little video there. That will be uploaded on Monday. Tuesday is a meal times with marcus, where i will talk about a few things as well as the rider of the month. We plan on going to Woodinville skatepark sometime next week, and we will make a video of that as well. That will be out the day we go, unless it is tuesday, in which case it would be uploaded wednesday or thursday. Hope you enjoy the videos that are soon to come, and thanks for watching.

-Marcus Pewitt

Skateparks

Hey everyone. Me and my friends have been hitting up the skateparks lately. Been filming a lot at them too. I am about to edit up a skatepark edit right now after i type this, than we are going to the skatepark on Saturday and are going to film. It should be a pretty good time so expect two skatepark videos, one Saturday and one on Sunday or Monday. These will be followed by my next Vlog on Tuesday which will announce the first rider of the month contest.

Late Night Box Session

Hey everyone. Last night me and a couple of friends busted out the grind box, set the flood lights on top of my car, and had a late night box session. Nothing too huge went down, we were just chillin' and having a good time. We ended up taking a lot of pictures and got a few things on video. The video will probably be up tomorrow morning, not sure what time exactly though. Meal times with marcus will also be moved to wednesday for this week, since i am going to the fair with my girlfriend and some of her friends Tuesday which is the normal meal times day. I know you guys are disappointed, but don't worry, it will be OK.

Woodinville Skatepark

Hey everyone. Me and a couple of friends, Jakin and Sam, went to the skatepark today. It was a pretty good time. Wasn't a super intense sessions, but still had a really good time. We all got a few clips and i am about to edit them together. After i am done i will let everyone know as usual and post it up to youtube. Hope you guys will like it.

-Marcus Pewitt

Skatepark Clips

Hey everyone, here are my clips from the skatepark. Enjoy!

Went to the Skatepark Today

Hey everyone. I went to the skatepark for a good hour and a half today. I had a pretty good time. There were not that many people there, so i got to film a few things. I am definitely pumped on the things that i got filmed. It is mostly barspins and tuck no handers, but that is mainly what i went there to do anyways. I am just about to edit it after i eat something, and it will be uploaded tomorrow in the morning probably. I hope you guys like it, we will see.

-Marcus Pewitt

Skatepark

Hey everyone. Today, or tomorrow, depending on your time zone, i am hitting up the skatepark. Yeah! I am going to try and go earlier in the morning so that i can get a head start and maybe not so many people will be there so i can actually film. The video will probably uploaded on thursday. I plan to try tuck no handers and barspins out of the bowl, along with a few lines i have planned. We will see what happens but i plan on spending a good amount of time there.

-Marcus Pewitt

Getting Kicked Out Sucks

You gotta love getting kicked out of places. Today i was riding at OV (the middle school by house, for those of you who are wondering)and i got kicked out. first time ever at that school. I was grinding a ledge and some guy asked how i can afford that (referring to the block of concrete) and asked me to find some place else. I was filming some clips for a video to upload, but since i got kicked out, i only have three clips. I will edit them up real fast and put them up in a bit since it is so short. I will hopefully be going to the skatepark tomorrow morning and have a skatepark video for either late tomorrow or for early thursday, we will see.

End of Summer Edit

Hey everyone, if you have yet to notice, the edit is out! check it out, like it, and all that good stuff. enjoy!



-Marcus Pewitt

Worked Hard Today

Hey everyone. I went out to ride today and, i must say, i put in work. I got two great clips for the edit, and it is that much closer to being done. YAY! I'm hoping to have it out in a few days to a week. I know of one more clip i need to get at least, and i may end up getting that tomorrow. I am pretty wore out from the two clips i got today, seeing as how one took forever to get. I will continue to keep you updated with the status of the edit, and i hope you guys get out and ride. 'Cause here, at least, it is a wonderful day outside.


-Marcus Pewitt

Playpark Clips

Hey everyone. I guess this is my 700th video, I will have to make a VLog tomorrow about it....didn't realize i had so many. But anyways, here it is. A few minutes at the park, not much but i still had a lot of fun.

Edit Update

Hey everyone. This is just to update you all on the status of my up coming edit. I have roughly 2 minutes of footage so far. I need about a minute more, but I am not all too sure where i am going to go to get these few more clips. I am hoping to have it out by the end of the month, but we will see what happens. I am still not all too sure on the song i am going to use, i may just use another one by satellite stories, seeing as how their songs seem to work quite well with ads. I will continue to keep you update, and be sure to let everyone know when filming is done.


-Marcus Pewitt

Tuck No Handers

Hey everyone. Last night, i was riding with my friend, Sean, from Montana. I decided to just try to do some tuck no handers, and they were not too bad. I decided to go out front for a bit and try and record some to see how they look. I just got done editing them up and the video is now exporting, than i will upload it to youtube. Make sure to check it out and let me know what you think. I am not sure if i will keep doing them, but they don't seem like all too bad of a trick

Meal Times With Marcus

Hey everyone. I decided my meal times with Marcus will be on Tuesdays. this gives me the opportunity to eat more taco bell, inform everyone of what is going on with the how-to/review that week, and it just seems like a good day to do them. This Tuesday i am doing a how-to get subscribers on youtube, and it will be posted both on the home page and in the how-to section of this site. I am still working on the edit as well, I need to go to the skatepark but i can't until i get paid because i need the gas money to get there. So dont expect that to come out until then. I also think i decided on how to find the rider of the month, so that will be updated later this month, and the first rider of the month will be for the month of October. Thanks everyone.

-Marcus Pewitt

Bank Video Uploaded

Hey everyone, here is the bank video i was talking about. Got some good clips i think and had a great time. Enjoy.



-Marcus Pewitt

Bank Video

Hey everyone. Today i plan on going to the OV bank and am going to have a little bank session. I will be filming, as always, and plan to make a little bank session video. It should be up today or tomorrow. I also plan to do my first how-to Tuesdays this Tuesday. It will probably be a text how-to, I think it will be on how to get more subscribers/video views. Let me know if you like this idea please.

-Marcus Pewitt

Edit Clips

Hey everyone. I went out and rode for a bit today. I got 3 great clips for my edit that i am working on. I can't say what they are, but they look pretty sweet i must say. I am pretty pumped on how the edit is looking so far. I am thinking of using a few clips from the Washington Edit me and chance made that we put on his channel, but i am not sure yet. We will see cause there were quite a few good clips in there that i want to use and some people may not have seen yet.

Q&A Video

Hey everyone, i made another Q&A video. Feel free to ask questions on this post, or on the video itself. Thanks =)

A Few Riding Clips

Went to the middle school and rode for a little bit. Enjoy the video

ODI Longneck Grips

WEBSITE

Hey everyone. I decided to make my blog into a website-type-ting. I will be posting in it daily, and have weekly and monthly segments as well. I will continue to do reviews and how-tos for this site, and we will see where it leads off to.

Working on an Edit

Hey everyone! I am currently working on an end of summer edit. I hope to have it out in a month or so. I already have a few great clips for it so far, and have quite a few more in mind. There might not be many barspins, I only have one and they are starting to kinda piss me off again so we will see what happens with those. If there are not that many it doesn't really matter, they are just barspins i guess. There are plenty of other tricks to do.

New SD Card and Lens

Hey everyone! Since my last SD card split in 3 pieces and was not working with my camera, i had to order a new one. That SD card should be here on Friday so i can start filming some riding some more. It is the same one i got last time, a Transcend 16GB class 10. Hopefully this one fairs better than the last one, although it did last a while for what i paid for it. I also ordered a new lens for when me and my Girlfriend head off to the zoo for our 2 year. Its the canon 75-300mm. The cheapo one, not the USM or the IS, but it will still get the job done and i think i will have fun with it. I will be doing an unboxing for the lens on friday.

ODI longneck grip review

Hey everyone, i managed to get the review done fast this month, and it is the first video of the month. The review is on ODI longneck grips, and it can be found in the Reviews section of this blog. These are awesome grips so make sure to go out and get a pair

Videos

Hey everyone. Youtube has been pretty weird lately. I have been trying to upload a few videos, but ads are taking forever to show up for some reason, even after writing long winded paragraphs on how i own the rights to put the video up. Right now a bike check is waiting. Yesterday i gave up and just put those playpark clips up, and just got ads on them today. I'm hoping that the bike check video will get ads soon so that everyone can check it out, i wanted to test filming something in 1080p, but i dont think i will do 1080p anymore because the file size is super large... but we will see what happens.

Barspins

Hey everyone, I seem to be starting to get back into the barspin game. I have them up and down curbs pretty easily now. I even tried a 180 barspin yesterday and got pretty close... Went to try it again and got tossed on my back though. I may possibly film some tries later some day, but for today its X Games.

Back From California

Hey everyone, i am finally back from California. I had a pretty good time and rode with a lot of new people. I am waiting on chance for the edit to be done, as he is editing it. I tried barspins while i was there and they actually are pretty good for not doing them in a while. I may get back into them, i may not. Only time will tell. Once the edit is up, i will be sure to post it to facebook so everyone can watch it.

Edit is Done!

Well...pretty much. Chance is putting on the final touches and it will be done. It will be uploaded to his channel tomorrow (youtube.com/brendanbikes) so make sure to check out his channel so you don't miss it.

Frame Review

Hey everyone. I filmed a part review for my cardinal frame today. I tried to make this one straight and to the point with a bit of humor. I hope you guys like it. It will be in the "Parts Review" section of this blog once it is uploaded.

Tailwhips

I was getting kind of close to tailwhips yesterday. Me and Chance went to Shoreline skatepark and there was a good sized bank we were trying tailwhips off. I just couldnt get my front foot on, i need to work on that.

How-to 180 Bunny Hop

Me and Chance filmed a video on how-to 180 bunny hop. once he gets around to editing it, it will be up on his channel (youtube.com/bmxf0r3v3r) for everyone to see. No telling when he will get around to editing it, so we will have to wait and see.

A Day in the Life

Today me and Chance filmed a day in the life video. we went to the skatepark, the bike shop, taco bell, and OV. I just finished editing it and it will be uploaded later. It is 30 minutes long so we'll see how it goes. We have also gotten a lot of good footage for the edit and that will be out before we leave to California probably.

Chance Is Here Today

Chance gets here today. YAY! I am going to pick him up in about 20 minutes now. It will be a long drive to Sea-Tac, but my sister and her boyfriend are coming along because i have no idea how to get there. After we get home, we plan to go to OV and ride and make a game of bike video to introduce him to everyone on the youtube channel. He is here for 2.5 weeks, should be a pretty good time. Keep an eye out for all the new videos!

Bank Session CLips

Video at the bank. I actually spend a good amount of time editing this to make it look better, I hope you enjoy =)

Riding Today.

Going to go out riding today. I might film, i might not, it depends. I would be uploading the video tomorrow if i did and it would just be at OV middle school for a little bit. We will see what happens because Chance gets here in two days and we are going to be making a lot of videos.

New How-to Video!

Hey everyone, today I got an idea for my next how-to video. In this video, i talk about what you should be looking for when buying a bmx bike for the first time. I get asked this a lot, so I decided to make a video on the topic. Hopefully it is helpful to many and you get some useful information about bikes. Enjoy, it will be in the "How-to" section of this blog.

Happy Father's Day!

Today is Father's Day. No riding today. Going to help a friend of my dad's, then we are going to a BBQ with the family.

"Weekend Edit"

what i got for my so called "weekend edit" that got rained out. enjoy

Got Rained Out..

Well...its raining today i guess, that means no more weekend edit. I am planning on uploading what clips i do have. It won't be as good as i had hoped, but it is better than nothing. I guess you guys will have to wait until Chance is here for a real good edit. But it will definitely be worth the wait. Enjoy.

Weekend Edit

Hey everyone, i am filming a little two day weekend edit, Friday-Saturday and it will be out later in the evening Saturday, so keep your eyes pealed. It should be a pretty decent edit to hold you guys over until Chance gets here to make another real edit.

Video Blog

New video blog today rather than a written one Enjoy =)

New Review

Hey everyone, the review for the primo cranks is up and will be in the review page of this blog. check it out :D

New Trick!

Went out today and learned a new trick! First with the front brakes. Enjoy the video =)

First Review

Hey everyone, I am getting started with my first part review today. Well...yesterday. Last night i took pictures of my cranks, and i just finished the voice over for the review. Now i am timing the pics with the voice over and i believe the review will be released tomorrow morning. Make sure to let me know how the review is and anything i can do to make it better. thanks!

How To Barspin Via N0sPr4Yu

Front Brakes Are Here!

Yesterday my forks finally got here. after waiting around for the post man to come bring em to my door, i finally got them. Putting the forks on was the easy part. When it came to putting on the brakes, that was a whole other story. I first tried with my Evo 2 brakes, but that did not work, so after about an hr and a half of fiddling with those, i threw on my Primo brakes and those went on in about 10 minutes. There a few things i need to fix to get the brakes dialed in, but I am sure they will be a lot of fun. I will be posting a new video of them tomorrow most likely, and am selling my old forks for $80 including shipping which i will be making a video for here in a few minutes.

Barspins!

Hey everyone! Yesterday i decided that i am not going to run rear brakes anymore since i am going to be running front brakes. I removed all of the brake hardware and decided to do some barspins since the brake lever was not in my way. I did way more than this, my camera died. Enjoy the video =)

test video at hp

This is another test video i did with my new lens. My dad filmed it for me at HPMS. I shot it with an aperture of f/9.0, an ISO of 400, and shutter speed varied between 1/2000-260. I hope you like it =)

Test Video With the New Lens

here is the test video i just posted about. enjoy =)

Rode the Bike at HPMS Today

Well, today i got the day started off early going to Harbour Pointe Middle School to ride my bike and get some footage My dad came with to film for me and it went pretty well. I need to edit the footage now which i will do shortly. I tested filming with an F-number of 9.0 to see how well it looks with the new lens i got. The lens is the canon EF 50mm f/1.8 and it seems to be performing really well so far in the few days that i have had it. I have another test video uploading as i am typing this, and that will be posted here in a little bit. I hope you enjoy it, it's nothing all too special, just a few clips to see how the lens looks wide open.

Started A Blog

Hey everyone! I decided to start a blog about all the things i do. It will revolve around the BMX bike riding i do and the videos i create for youtube. I plan to post frequently, so let's see how this goes =)
