Austin's ( @austinhorse ) getting a lot of face-time on the web lately. When he's not racing Mercedes luxury SUVs around NYC, he's working full time as a messenger. Recently, while making a delivery, his BMW Gangsta Track was snagged out from under his nose. He immediately Tweeted that his bike was just stolen and moments later, Eddie Brannon spotted it outside a deli in the LES. Rather than negotiating with the thief, he just stole it back.

Read the full news story at the NYTimes and check out this piece that just aired on NBCNewYork.

While you're at it, follow Austin on Twitter!

Mercedes-Benz.tv: New York Challenge - GLK vs. Austin Horse

Caught this over at Trick Track earlier and thought it merited a post. Michael dug up some older footage and put together a little edit. Good stuff for sure. One-handed 180 to slider is clean!

10 Minutes with Super Ted Part 1 from John Prolly on Vimeo.

I sat down with Super Ted after the NAHBS to talk about frame design and fabrication. Rather than doing a bike check, I talked with Ted about his design intent and process.

Here's Part 1 and Part 2 will come tomorrow.

Thanks to Ted and Shop 14.

Philly Mix Tape

Daniel Leeb shot this spot for Mercedes-Benz.tv a few weeks ago. It pits Austin Horse against a Mercedes GLK in New York City traffic. We all know how that would end, but for some reason a car company wants to use a bike to prove that it's a legitimate form of transportation in a dense city.

But wait, how will it end? Watch part 2 below.

2010 x-up lucas from sdgintw on Vimeo.

I came across this quick edit last night but forgot to post it. Some kid named Lucas ripping a proper x-up on a bank. When I got into work this morning, he had a new edit as well. You can check that out below.

[FRAME] Chapter One from BrianFu on Vimeo.

So I'm finally getting down the last few emails I received while traveling to Tokyo last week and I came across this one from Brian at Flwrder. I know it's a week old, but because this will be an ongoing video project, I wanted to post it so I could build a foundation to refer to future episodes.

[FRAME] is a very promising series of interviews run by several people on the Flwrder blog. The first episode interviews Michael Young. Future episodes will adhere to the [FRAME] model which includes the following subjects:

We’ll be going into studios, workshops and offices to find many interesting characters passing through and within Hong Kong. Insights from Product designers, CEO’s, retailers, ex-race champions and many more coming up.

Check out more information from [FRAME] Chapter One below.

Slow Sunday Jam from EndlessScummer on Vimeo.

Slow Sunday has deep roots in Philly's fixed freestyle scene. Wilis, Tom and Tony dubbed their weekly riding sessions a few years back, before this sport blew up. Now, with more and more riders in Philadelphia, the Slow Sunday spirit lives on. The Water St. Sessions spot keeps getting more and more legit. I know I tell the guys this all the time, but I wanna make it to Philly soon to ride!

Antonio is one of the few people who can shred a quarter with style on a fixed gear. This edit shot at Four Seasons Skatepark is a perfect example of his riding skills. Great edit man!

TOKU pist rider interview from RELECTION-WIRED on Vimeo.

Toku from W-Base was recently interviewed for W-Wired's "Reflection" series. No idea what he's saying, but it's a pretty rad little video. Toku's a super nice guy and is sponsored by Brooklyn Machine Works. If you're in Tokyo, swing through W-Base and say hey to him!

The Neistat Brothers are no strangers to discussing bicycle theft in NYC. They put out a short edit in 2007 showing how easy it was to steal a bike from public space in Manhattan. Last year, at the WNW space, artist Tom Sachs led a discussion on the Ethics of Stolen Bikes. Sachs laid out the same 2-part rule as the Neistat Brothers are here, stating that there are two kinds of bikes in this world; nobody's bike and somebody's bike. Here, Casey Neistat goes over this rule in depth.

Watch it and discuss it below.
