I know that this vid isn’t really new, but just discovered it…So good to see a lot of people riding or running all together for a good cause all around the world…Nice project.
“Last December NIKE partnered with (RED) and made a commitment to fight HIV and Aids in Africa.
Hundreds of thousands laced up to support the fight, on the pitch. In the run up to the summer of Football,
NIKE took the message of Lace Up Save Lives into some of the most inspiring cities in the world.
This is Tied Together. A story about action inspiring reaction. A 120 hours relay race in NYC, London, Milan, Berlin and Paris.”

Rock Metal Trail first ride…
After long weeks of work and loads of dirt moved, the “Rock Metal Trail” in PEF’s backyard saw finally the first session coming up yesterday…”Han Solo” PEF and “little skywalker” Louis Reboul were the first ones to clear the line and killed as much as they could ’till the sun finally went down…
All features of the spot are not shown here because pics are not always giving justice to the real sickness of a jump…wait and see the soon-to-come teaser from the Rock Metal Jam next 28th of August.

Nick Brandreth’s photography
I had the chance during my trip to Claymore Challenge to meet with Nick Brandreth, the hyper-active guy behind Thrashbike.com . Despite the fact that Nick is filming (check the video section on thrashbike), he’s also a really good photographer. You really have to go on his personal website to check all his galleries (love wrestling pics…). Find below a sneak preview of his work…
