Somewhat Damaged: Friday Nights Are Killing Me

Happy Friday folk.



 VHS WILL NEVER DIE!! OG COPY OF SEEK & DESTROY I GOT WHEN LITTLE DEVIL BRAND WAS STILL RAN OUT OF DEREK'S GRANDFATHERS BASEMENT! MY MOM GAVE ME THIS FOR X-MAS AND BOOM GARRET BYRNES WAS MY NEW HERO AND AS RIDE BMX SAID A FEW YEARS LATER ABO
UT Van Homan, "Is He Human?" I HAD NEVER SEEN A HUMAN BEING GRIND UP A HANDRAIL BEFORE UNTIL THAT FATEFUL VIDEO PART WITH BATTERY BLASTING AND THE SOUND OF PEGS MAKING THE EVER SO SWEET BACKGROUND MUSIC THAT MOST BMX VIDEOS LACK NOWADAYS. OH.. THAT AND THE FEEL OF A VIDEO BEING TIMELESS. THE ONLY RECENT VIDEOS WITH THAT VIBE, AND IM NOT BEING BIASED ARE: EMPIRE-BAD IDEA, ANTHEM II, THIS IS UNITED, AND SKAPEGOAT 6. IM SURE THE NEW ANIMAL PROJECT WILL RULE, CULT'S TALK IS CHEAP, AND THE NEW AM:PM. STOKED ON MY VHS PLAYER! NOW GO WATCH SOME 15 YEAR OLD KILL A SKATE PLAZA YOU SANDUSKY FUCKERS. RIDE REAL STREET, RIDE THE WOODS, SHRED SOME BOWLS, HAVE FUN JUST TAKE A SLEDGE HAMMER TO YOUR LOCAL SKATE PLAZA COMPLETE WITH A NICE NO PEG OR PLASTIC ONLY RULE. I'LL STICK TO FDR THANK YOU, AND WHEN OUT OF TOWN T-1. ALSO THE NEW EMPIRE BOWL IS ONE OF THE BEST RAMPS/THINGS I HAVE EVER RODE Ryan CorriganIS THE BEST BOWL BUILDER EVER, IF YOU ARE BUILDING A PARK ANYWHERE IN AMERICA OR THE REST OF THE WORLD READING THIS, LET RYAN DESIGN YOUR SHIT. THE WORLD NEEDS MORE PARKS/ SET UPS FROM THE MIND OF RYAN, MAYBE IT WOULD BE COOL TO GO TO THE LOCAL SKATEPARK AGAIN TO ALL YOU FAIRWEATHER STREET FANS. THE MAIN REASON I RIDE STREET AS MUCH AS I DO IS FOR FOUR MAIN REASONS:

1. I LOVE USING MY MIND TO SEE HOW I CAN MAKE A SPOT WORK, ROLLING AWAY AND THEN KNOWING THAT IT IS UNDER MY BELT. ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A WALLRIDE AND I LEFT SOME BLACK RAINBOWS LURKING ON THE PROPERTY.

2. ASIDE FROM FDR THERE IS NO INDOOR SKATEPARK WORTH SPENDING MONEY ON RIDING IN ALL OF PA. OHIO HAS THE CLOSEST PARKS I WOULD SPEND MONEY AT TO RIDE. BLACK DIAMOND/X-GAYMES/HOODCURD PARK IN FRANKLIN MILLS MALL IS SO AWFUL IT BOTHERS ME THAT YOU KIDS ACTUALLY PAY TO RIDE THERE. IF PEOPLE MAYBE USED A MOP AND YOU DIDN'T DIE DUE TO HOW SLIPPERY EVERYTHING IN THAT SHITHOLE IS IT WOULD BE A WHOLE LOT MORE FUN. ALSO THE SECTION WITH THE MELLOW AS FUCK STREET SPINE, BOX JUMP, AND STEEP QUARTERS HASN'T CHANGED AT ALL ASIDE FROM A VERTWALL BEFORE THE BOX JUMP SINCE 2002. KEEPING THE SAME SET UP FOR TEN YEARS WHEN YOU RUN A PARK THAT KEEPS PHILLY KIDS WARM WHOM CAN'T TRAVEL IN THE WINTER BEING BORED OUT OF THEIR MINDS PAYING OVER $12 FOR SOME BULLSHIT SNAKE SESSION JUST ISN'T WORTH IT. BUT TO EACH HIS OR HER OWN. I JUST THINK THE PARK IS SHITE!

3. I FEEL COMFORTABLE IN THE STREETS, IN GRIMY HOODS, AND JUST RIDING A CITY BLOCK LIKE IT IS A SET OF TRAILS, FLOWING WITH TRAFFIC, NOT EVEN DOING TRICKS ASIDE FROM GRINDS AND WALLRIDES, ITS JUST AN AMAZING FEELING. 

4. LASTLY THE LOCAL WOODS WERE PLOWED LAST YEAR AND I JUST SAID FUCK IT I CANNOT AFFORD TO PUT TIME IN WITH A FEW SELECT FRIENDS WHILE EVERYONE ELSE ACTS TOO COOL TO PUT IN TIME TO DIG THE TRAILS, BUT WILL BE CALLING YOU AN ASSHOLE WHEN YOU TELL THEM THEY CAN'T RIDE, OR THAT IF THEY HACK THE SHIT OUT OF A LANDING YOU BETTER FUCKING FIX IT! AND TELLING PEOPLE THE EXACT LOCATION OF TRAILS THIS EVEN GOES FOR WOODS YOU THINK ARE SAFE. IM TALKING TO YOUTim Cullen YOU NEED TO DEFEND YOUR LOCAL SET OF WOODS THAT I KNOW YOU PUT IN MORE WORK THAN ANYONE ELSE I KNOW DOWN THERE AND KIDS ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THE WOODS AND VISIT THEM. BUT HOW MANY OF THOSE KIDS CASING EVERYTHING AND DYING ON BERMS WHILE THEIR MOTHERS WATCH IN HORROR ARE DOWN TO PUT IN AS MUCH WORK THAT IS NEEDED TO EVENLY RIDE AND DIG EQUALLY. SINCE YOU KICKED THE CHODE RIDER OUT AND PERMIBANNED HIM FROM THE WOODS, I WOULDN'T MIND PUTTING IN SOME WORK AND GETTING MYSELF WARMED UP FOR THE WOODS DOWN IN AUSTIN THIS TIME AROUND. I WANT TO HIT THE MAINLINE DOWN EAST SIDE!

KEEP RIDING, AND HAVING FUN KIDS. ALSO SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THE QUALITY OF VIDEOS! BE GRATEFUL THAT YOU GET TO SEE NEW VIDEOS EACH DAY ONLINE REGARDLESS IF ITS FILMED ON AN IPHONE THAT FELL INTO A POOL, BITCH ABOUT WHY PEOPLE STILL USE VX'S AND TRV-900 CAMERAS AND NOT DSLR'S BECAUSE YOU ARE PROBABLY RIDING AND FILMING FOR THE WRONG REASONS IF SHIT LIKE THAT MAKES YOU NOT EVEN WATCH AN EDIT OR VIDEO PART. HD IS RAD, BUT FOOTAGE IS FOOTAGE WHEN ITS A WEB VIDEO. IF IT IS A DVD I THINK IT SHOULD BE FILMED WITH A QUALITY CAMERA EITHER A VX, TRV-900 OR 950 (Animal Can I Eat style), OR ITS HD AND THE BEST OF THE BEST, EMPIRE-BAD IDEA FOR EXAMPLE IS THE BEST USE OF HD IN A BMX VIDEO TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE LAST ODYSSEY VIDEO WAS ALL IN HD BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER ONE CLIP OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD JUST THAT I HAVE NO IDEA WHY AARON ROSS RODE TO HEY MICKEY? IT DIDN'T EVEN WORK, WHATEVER DISC TWO WAS WORTH THE BUY WITH THE ODYSSEY EURO VIDEO, AND THE FIRST ODYSSEY VIDEO THAT RICH HIRSCH MADE.
