This video of the Fluidride Cup #2 Dual Slalom tells that story of grassroots dual slalom. Sure the pros are the stars, but in the local scene, even the fans yelling from the sideline get their 15mins. Some may claim that dual slalom is destined for âFriday nights under the lights.â Who really knows. The truth is, Dual Slalom is fun and itâs making a comeback.

This video has fun with pop culture and bike culture. Itâ a low-key spoof that celebrates the âBike Loveâ? things we do together as riders and friends.

Bike Love is going to be a new video thread @ Bones Over Metal.com that celebrates all things to do with how much we love our bikes. We are not stopping at the pop culture spoofs, you know, âMonster Trail,â? âAmericaâs Next Top Bike Mechanic,â? âAmerican Trail Builder,â? and of course the Spanish one âConstructor de la pistaâ? and the German one âDie Strecke Builder.â? We probably will include some bike porn. Like a whole video on hard tails, and one on the softy and easy DH bikes. So stay tuned. Bones Over Metal is going to bring you all kinds of sentimental bike life stuff.

We meet up with Atomlab rider Joe Perrizo at Spokane's Beacon Blowout. This guy does it all on a "Trail Pimp" hardtail, DH, Dirt Jump, Urban. Check out the giveaway!! During this shoot some of Spokane's finest showed up at the skate park wondering why a rider was wearing a police parka. It didn't help that we were lighting the shoot with the spot of a decommisioned police interceptor. Anyway, they didn't say a word and seemed to leave impressed, or at least impressed that we were not doing anything to wrong.

The first part of this podcast features a great dirt jump/slopestyle contest put on by TAOW productions and Aaron Lutze. The Wham Bam Thank You Jam was held in an indoor motocross shed just west of Portland, OR.

Early in the summer of '06 the Seattle area weekly The Stranger published an article about illegal dirt jumps discovered at the edge of one of the city's more affluent neighborhoods. The city of Seattle found these jumps by accident while doing an erosion check. The jumps were in a conservation area. But the area had been overlooked. This green belt was loosing the battle to invasive plants and had become a gathering place for the homeless and drug users. The riders felt that it was a perfect place to build their jumps.

The Bones Over Metal crew caught up with Rama Fire the rider who was responsible for the dirt jumps. We also got a chance to talk to Jack Tomkinson of Urban Sparks.org Urban Sparks is working with Rama and his crew to get the city to see the positive side of the dirt jumps.

For more information on their effort check out the Urban Sparks website.
