Triple Backflip
Although I find this pretty impressive and mind blowing, but can't go without a feeling that this is more like a circus entertainment than evolution of BMX. Don't get me wrong, I know that you have to have knowledge and balls to even think about trying this (Just take a look at the view from the ramp at the picture below...), but I find technical street riding more creative and stylish. Anyway, big respect to Jed Mildon to landing the first triple backflip on BMX!
Just another day at work...

From the interwebs
Do not inhale fumes no matter how good they smell.
They probably meant "Do not inhale spraypaint fumes no matter how good they smell due to the enormous amount of tasty perfumes added to each can so it would smell as unicorn fart so you would fell in love with the best graffitispraycolorbrand(R) products and stuff more money in their pockets"
Speaking of spraypaints, which brand do you prefer when it comes down to smell? I'm curiously waiting for answers in comments ;) (my personal fav was 1st generation Ironlak, when it dried and had smell of cakes with vanilla. However when it was fresh out of the can, it was a fuckin' chemical weapon.)

Fuck Buff
I'm sorry to see that one of the longest lasting graff paintings in my hometown just got buffed because a fancy mall is going to open their doors in the hood. As you can see, they did a very professional job, now this looks waaay better :S This was a Ta2 full color piece from circa 2003.
The first hall of fame in the city (on the side of "Beograd" Shopping Center) was also destroyed few years ago because the new owners of the shopping center started renewing it, now the building is empty, unfinished and the alley that was covered in colorful pieces is now used as a parking; I'm afraid the only remaining legal wall would not last too long either, and it's almost impossible to find another suitable surface to legally paint. I understand we have more important problems to solve, but the city is already fucked up by few kids, and if the ones who are competent in these questions don't act, the public will go nuts because the vandalism.

The Pool
Amazing video, insane riders and no need to talk about location. Epic. I wish we could have half as good park in my hometown!

Proper Propaganda
It's been forty-something years since the birth of graffiti and street art culture and the majority of people still doesn't accept it as a legit art form that has it's place in urban environment. Politicians see it as an easy target to bark on before campaigns to get some easy points (anti-graffiti laws worldwide). Anti-graffiti companies pull out enormous money from the budget buffing everything they find on their patrols whether it's a simple tag or a big mural (see buffing of MSK mural on private property in LA). Advertising companies and corporations rape the whole culture using it in ads 'cause they think they can build a trendy image in youth's eye (coca-cola commercial with the parkour guys painting "graffiti" on a train). On other side, the cities are polluted with billboards, posters, ads and other shit that no one finds annoying, or even if does, they can't do anything 'cause there is some serious money in the business. The solution? Disguise art as advertisement and enjoy :) Of course, it's just a joke that resulted a series of stickers and posters you can see above. It's just a little selection of my personal favorites, but stay tuned 'cause more propaganda is coming soon!
