Sent From Above

There have been certain times when I question what is going on in my life. Why am I doing this or working this job or not doing something up to potential or whatever. Then when I see something like the photo above I know I was supposed to be exactly where I was at that point in time. Or it's one of those things where I'll see those trucks everyday for the rest of my life and I'm completely full of shit.

Either way. Vert is sick.

who is extreme?who is not?who cares? they all look alike....

Like Colors Bleed

New photos in Get Some. More tomorrow probably too.
And for the record I think the fact that every Tom, Dick, and Harry has the chance to write on the web is a good thing. Granted, nine times out of ten it is complete garbage but that other one will probably blow most other things out of the water. I wonder if magazines used to get mad when zines ran more rampant in the BMX and skate worlds?

If you know what I'm talking about, I am now a cliche. Regardless, have fun out there.

5 Blogging Cliches.*

1. Death from Detroit. When I scoured the internet all day I saw a bout 4,000 blogs linking this.
2. "I know this has been on the web for awhile but..."
3. Photo Blogs.
4. The print vs. internet argument.
5. Blogging at all. At this point isn't blogging a cliche?

*All of which I am guilty of.

And while we are on the subject of blogging, I might as well just go all in with it. Ted has a great photo of the dude himself Troy McMurray up here and some spy shots of the new Life? prototype sprockets here. DIY or Die.

Believe It.

I can't believe I never found this when I scoured the web all day. Worth it for the Hallman clips and all the other clips too. New entry in Get Some. Peep it here.

Get Some.

Between wanting to do this for awhile and being sick of flickr I decided to make a new photo blog. There's a link over to the right for it but I'll probably let you know when I update it with a photo from the newest entry. Check it out here.

KRIMZENZ POOLZ

Bissell is the best bike rider. I want a Bermdix tee shirt.

Friday Night Jam Fest

The Best News You'll Ever Read

I just heard from a little bird that one of the best things on the world wide web is back in action after a long hiatus. Don't forget HOW TO HAVE FUN.

Speaking of having fun. If you could do whatever you wanted at all times, what would you do? I like that even if it may change at some point in his life, the guy in the video above seems to have it figured out somehow. Seeing them live helps. Or just cue the butthead jams which is also totally fine with me. More BMX to come. Soon.

Barrier Kult

Would have been a cool photo.

It was Pinzon's "weekend before his wedding party" and he had all of his friends stay with him. It was a good time. We rode that barrier for awhile and Pinzon eventually 360'ed over it. It was sick, I wish I filmed it or something. Then saw Max & Kerry at Ooga Booga. Actually, I saw them first.



I'm late with the photos...more soon.

Holeshot In '87

I hate nostalgia, especially when it isn't really warranted. With that said, everything in that video still looks sweet to me and I was 2 when that came out. Quarterpipes are the best ramp and that video shows you why. Bl'ast that shit.

If you've been patiently waiting for issue 6 you'll have to wait a little longer but not too long as I have some good changes coming soon that will free up some time. If you're into Holeshot I think you'll like the main interview that is going to be in it. Even if you're not into Holeshot you should still like it.

New shirts and stickers soon. Buy a Koozie or a t-shirt to help me get more shit made.


All Hail Flag. Or Wilbur Barrick. I guess that was his real name.
Oh and congratulations to Jim & Pam!

Leftover Martha's Vineyard Video

I think this might be one of those things that if you weren't there or have never been you may not like it, but who knows. I had some extra footage laying around from a camping trip to Martha's Vineyard in the spring of 2008. I added the most sensitive song I could find and here you have it. YouTube keeps cutting off the fade out and I can't figure out why. I'm sure you don't care anyway. Enjoy.

One more thing. Yes, I realize there is a 30 second dad-cam intro of me. Sorry I liked it.

Holeshot Koozies Now Available in The Store

I'm happy to say I can now offer the Koozies for sale*. Because they aren't foldable I have to charge a little more but I hope it doesn't deter you from keeping your beers cold and your hands warm. You know "drinking around a fire season" is here and all. Check them out in the store here and know that your purchase will keep my fridge stocked with Beer and soda.

*Koozies come in a variety of colors, they all look good I promise.

More news and information soon. Some stuff is brewing. Until then grab your shred sled and get sick. Take a cell phone photo and send it my way or something, you won't.

Ford Transit Connect

The other night I rubber necked so hard when I saw this gem of a machine for sale. It could be awful but it seems like a good look considering it's a Ford and everyone works on them. It's not like I'll be stuck in Kingman Arizona looking for a VW mechanic at 2AM.

I probably won't buy it anyway, I mean I barely have enough to afford a Fiesta or some shit. It just looks pretty awesome. My first car was a Voyager Minivan complete with wood paneling so I think that's where the obsession comes from. I was psyched on it then but not nearly as psyched as I should have been, the thing was awesome. When it finally stopped passing inspection my freshman year of college, I have to admit I was a little upset. I don't even have any photos either.RIP.
