FITLIFE IS KING.



The people have spoken and they say that FITLIFE was the video of the year:



This should really come to no suprise to anyone who saw it. Van's section was a monster, Edwin and Tom killed it, Mike Aitken put together what I assume will be the best part of his career and the video as a whole was really enjoyable.

Perhaps more surprisingly, Facad beat out long time favorites Animal and Lotek. You can't really argue with the fact that their team, while small, is one of the best in BMX. This may also have been influenced by the fact that Animal and Lotek dropped closer to the beginning of the year and Fit and Facad came out more recently. I personally voted for Animal and thought that it should have placed higher and the Lotek mixtape still gets viewed a lot too, but they both did pretty well anyway.

All the other videos did pretty awful in comparison. I liked the Shitluck video a lot and felt that Profile and 2Hip had their moments but it's not really fair to compare them to the other ones on the list.

Who's going to hold down the throne next year? Volume? Etnies? One of the many UK videos that are set to come out? Will Animal and Lotek come through with new offerings? We'll see.

what about NSF? Voices? DFTU? And have you all seen the 'Tomorrow we wrok' promo? Why do only american bmx videos have to be voted for?

i should have used nsf, that was a mistake. voices came out in 2005. dftu was only 3 songs, obviously not full length. tomorrow we work was a 15 minute internet promo.
