Nigel Sylvester. Professional BMX'er.

This dude is probably my favorite rider. I never seen a better mix of recklessness and grace.

Reminds me of myself.

By the way, I'm still good for curb/bench grind, bar spin or frame stand. All that other stuff? I'll leave that for you teeny-boppers.

Art-Hop Episode 5: Metal Face Villain

Artist: Madvillain (Madlib & MF Doom)

Song: "All Caps"

Album: Madvillainy (Stones Throw Records)

Director: James Reitano

I play a Doom record and it transports me to place where Hip-Hop is merged with ill double entendres, comic book references, mask-wearing emcees and loops from old Japanese cartoons.

That's a good place to be in.

This clip is from Doom's pairing with Madlib and their collaborative 'Madvillainy' album. The vid stands as a 1960's Kirby/Lee comic book (complete with ads) come to life.

Watch it twice. I think it's that good.
