This entry is massive so prepare the old brain, Its currently 4:15am, read on mates.
Sorry for the delay you savages! Life is what happens while your making plans."(name that song,bmx video,and band that used those lyrics)I had the chance to view the latest 90 East video which was an absolute treat, thank you Lino for once again putting out quality product that not only keeps the older style East Coast hands on futuristic free form of filming that children bicker about on the internet not about how amazing the latest 90 East video is. You need a copy, as soon as you can type in those credit card numbers get on that shit if you are into raw legit street riding and some of the wildest moves to go down in a while that wasn't learned down some skate plaza ledge. This is as honest as street riding gets, sure its just some X-Games sport to some but to me it is life. It keeps me sane, and to see people exploit it and talk shit on legends that sometimes I read online just bums me out. I remember when shit would get taken care of in the BMX world, if you flirted with some ones girl, chance are you would get jumped by ten angry dudes still sporting shred boners from the session in the local backyard mini. Sure its all bike riding and anyone can ride anyway they want, just keep it in the streets and on the concrete, Joe Rich had a great write up on the beauty of Transitions in the new issue of Dig Bmx. Don't be a Chode Rider, buy the new 90 East video and get stoked on riding. I know its brutal outside but since most of this video is filmed at night. As a huge fan of night footage I was very pleased with this more and more uncommon way to shoot a video. I grew up with the night vision clips on my camera that you would just convert to black and white like some sort of savage. Anyways I'm enjoying the new Inquisition record- Ominous Doctrines Of The Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm (yes I spelled that out I said FUCK YOU SPELL CHECK!) Anyways this shit is killer so hopefully you pick up this video which is available thru 90 East as we speak!
While I'm here, I couldn't help myself. I remember when I first met Lino we had seen the same Saves The Day shows in the same week and I over heard him use the words, "It was wicked awesome." Instantly I knew this dude was awesome, he butchered Boston doing some of the craziest shit ever. This was for his Standpoint Bio and one Friday night Tom White called me and asked if I wanted to go to ride and also film. It was very last minute I was jobless and as sad as it was I borrowed $65.00 for gas and it was fucking on! What a trip it was in between seeing this quite dude with glasses I never met before ride down handrails, crooked grind crazy set ups, he just did whatever he wanted I remember he has this one clip where he nose manuals this big pad out of a black asphalt back and its far, I tore at it and jumped it into the street very stoked at this massive task everyone is glad I pulled it but LS forgot to film it due to me not saying when I was going, that is a bad habit of mine but hell he could've been mad at me and just not have bothered pressing the fucking record button, I was so bummed that Local Shredder who was on camera duty since Tom had rebroken his shoulder and was in for a hellish two days in paradise... well to me at least.
(The proof is in the pudding)
We met up with Lee Hopkins (now on the Bone Deth BMX team this kid is so fucking dialed)
Showed Lino, Local Shredder, Tom White and myself around the city. Tom was filming for his own bio at the time as well but due to me giving him this confidence boaster to try this multiple probably if you aren't some lame inline skater or Soap shoe enthusiast than there is no way you are grinding that whole thing. Well he made it threw a few kinks then goes to pull of a ledge but instead it shoots him into a horrible clicked turndown that Chris Doyle would be proud of.
Sorry to Robert Dolecki for using your photo so I'll plug your website by clicking your name. Again I'm getting off course thats why you do not smoke weed kids! Doyle knows drugs are filth. For real kids!

So here we are back onto the story, my brain is utter rubbish. Mercyful Fate is blasting, I'm ripped and its 3am people must be salty but my sister is such a fucking bitch she needs ti chill out she isn't famous and is like known as the town bitch. Its insane how mean this broad is.
The crashed broke his already broken shit from that backflip once again I talked him into doing on that awful MTV program, "Scarred" which was just the worst thing ever on television but the easiest paycheck I ever got in my life. I used the $400 and bought an ounce of killer bud off my dude at the time, it was beyond worth the thirty second clip and from what Tom said he got paid by those greedy bitches maybe it was worth trying a backflip on a pile of Baseball field dirt that I made into a tabletop. with a flathead peep the footage on this MTV Site and be warned you may have to skip a bit, if you are into wrecks and TW being a savage check that shit. But anyways buy 90 East- Sound of the Street quit reading my blog and get your asses out.Wear some basket ball shorts and bring out water ya fuck wads!

Waiting can be a tough thing, I hate waiting on broken bike parts. The stupidest shit causes the biggest set backs. But I'm happy that warranties exist in the first place. Thank god! Awl man you broke your under four pound frame trying to be a hero and 360 the local four stair. If you are under the age of 16 ride BMX and complain about weight it makes me glad that I don't know you pussies. If you happen to be the future sport and believe me shit is getting wild out there. I mean its now Mirra vs Miron
His Section in Madd Matt along with Taj were my two main inspirations on why I put down the Nintendo And while maybe putting my school work to the side was okay for a while, I was hooked!
Now in my personal opinion, Jay"The Canadian Beast "Miron complete destroys Dave Mirra, but some people disagree. Hopefully a discussion brews but I doubt it someone probably just tweeted about how shitty this blog is. Im not even good at twitter I can't go on rants like this about Jay Miron, 90 East and Bmx.
Here is Dave Mirra, now no rider is really better than another but choose whom you'd rather thank.
Yeah Miracle Boy I remember when you were on Senate. I never understood that, maybe an answer?
In all serious, Mirra kills it even though he wasn't my favorite he seriously just did whatever he wanted in bmx his all, including on Road Fools 9 where he grinds that dead man rail! He can also throw down proper flaties even when he is not upside down, sick guy!
Jay Miron was my favorite rider growing up, but I rode a Hoffman Taj. It was chrome, had Slam Bars and ruled even though I was just learning my feeble grinds and dropping off higher loading docks around town.
Beast
Jay invented over pegs,rails gaps to rails manuals to over pegs, just a wildman. Read his Ride Bmx interview for the insanity. If you can find a copy, hopefully someone at Ride reads this.
Brian Castillo (Losey shot this and its probably in my top three photos of all time)
Brian was such a monster to me as a bike rider, I met him at Toms River before the start of a Little Devil tour, yeah B.C rode for the Devil for a few months, I think he would've been a killer edition to the Little Devil Criminal Mischief line up, if he had a section like he did in Nowhere Fast it maybe messed up the majority East Coast vibe or brought high speed lines to LOVE Park semi R.I.P) and City Hall A MASSIVE REST IN PEACE, THAT PLACE WAS A TREAT.
You know Ricky Oyola is bummed. I put a Traffic sticker on my bike. Stoked.
This maybe the complete of East Coast Street but I always enjoyed Brian's section in the Demolition video.
Watching Ricky skate Philly is unreal.
Keep Your Head Up, Explore beyond the vortex of Center City bike riding and skateboarding especially with this going down, thank god for the hood.
“The bill prohibits skateboarding, rollerblading and bicycling on monuments and public art and would make this new offense punishable with a maximum fine of $2,000, up to 90 days in jail for adults and confiscation of the skateboard, rollerblades or bike. The ordinance also eliminates the lower penalty level for ethnic intimidation and institutional vandalism, making all violations subject to a maximum $2,000 fine and up to 90 days in jail.”
Those Greedy Bitches!
Photo by Ed as seen in Road Fools 1 the link is lurking about. Who Ballin Now? Bugga man!
(I think Fudger took this photo, its in my top five. I honestly hope he doesn't get mad at me I dig his work and a certain somebody else in the industry seems to cause beef in areas that I feel are out of place and at least in my situation I realized that what I was saying was out of anger and sadness about a MCM sadly passed away ECD WILL NEVER DIE! Keep the dream alive!
Sorry but I have to post this now for Mike and memories of VHS and us yelling DO IT CHET YOU WON'T DIE!!! Along with a joke between me and Derek Adams about one of the songs in the second ECD/Butt Brothers video called, "Uncharted Territory but it was out of hand,
"NOW KIDS IF YOU DON'T BUY THIS RECORD YOUR AN ASSHOLE.....ASSHOLE..... ....ASSHOLE, ASSHOLE ASSHOLE, ASSHOLE, ASSHOLE, ASSHOLE ASSHOLE, ASSHOLE . Yeah sitting on the deck on Boards & Blades and Derek getting me all pumped to ride in front of my heros and a lot of my friends were mad at me for this. Because I was getting to go out filming while those dudes filmed Criminal Mischief and because the watching of Ryan,Wiz, and Doug editing the Resist video seeing that footage really made me a better rider and made me push myself.
REST IN PEACE MIKE G.McAFFERTY
In Bob's own words, "Outrageous".
Best dude in the world, someone I'm glad to call a friend if I ever heard someone talk bad on Bob I would break their fucking face in. Bob showed me the streets at a young age thru the streets, a blue zip up and a pair of brown dickies. But I felt like a dork in Austin this winter, I'm drinking a Mickey's with Bob while he is making some wild noodles and chicken while I get a peak at some of the new Animal footage and Skapegoat 6, we rode all day that day one of the best days in my life ending in legends back yard but that was also just the start of a wild night. Bob is the best, realist dude I know. Respect.
Joe Rich, if you only knew how many times I watched your Props Bio and your part in Anthem: Home Of The Brave. To get to know you, watch you ride your ramp then get beers after. I hadn't been that happy or pumped on life in a long time n/h but getting to hangout with one of your idols along with a few other dudes I respect lurking about. I didn't feel 27, I felt 14. Keep slaying thy tranny Mr. Rich!

The one and the only Mr. Byrnes!!!!
Garret Byrnes his props interview changed the way I looked at the world on a BMX bike, like using rocks, weird parts of your bike. I lost my pegs for a while due to GB just a total bad ass. I know he is just a grown ass man on a BMX bike to the normal human but to me. Garret Byrnes is in my eyes what a human being should be. Fuck sounding corny Garret is a total mad man and nice guy. Thanks for always treating me well when I was lucky enough to run into you at the Skatepark for a session while you were mostly filming for the Props interview with Stew Johnson and the Little Devil Video. Always stoked to see new Garret photos like this, I'm more pumped on this than any bullshit skateplaza preteen tailwhip to tailtap edit with some hype ass loud shit sound making me wish I was born death.
This was taken in March a few days after I left Austin, Joe Rich took it and Scerbo was stoked on the session.
GB always delivers the goods on the BMX.
But if the video has fucked your attention, always look into people you want to move in with before just taking the leap and living with a stranger, shit is kooked.
If all of us could all get a drink together in honor of BMX and its greatness count me in as unworthy as I maybe. It sure would be a table of my heroes, what I'm getting at with all this is at the end of the day we are just a bunch of dudes and chicks shredding the gnar on our vehicles of choice grasping onto our youth, shouting FUCK YOU! While blasting your favorite Sheer Terror record, maybe if our generation makes it to be seniors we will be bad ass!
Maybe if I could watch RVD wrestle Sabu in their primes one more time with my own eyes I'd be a ad happier especially if my pops was there. Its weird with my father all sick and shit that the best times that we had together were at Viking Hall aka The ECW ARENA. Being in middle school and having your pops take you to these wild events was the world to me. The only thing in my life aside from Hardcore,and BMX. EC'FUCKING W! If you never attended an event at The ECW Arena then you must think I'm some Juggalo piece of shit no. I respected the shit out of the fans, the wrestlers who put it all on the line so a thirteen year old can brag to his friends in high school that Sabu pushed Sandman off a ladder after grabbing barbwire then falling flat threw a table causing us all to stand on our feet and scream
ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW!
More memories R.I.P Tag
Get some sleep eh?
Also just fixed my front wheel so the local spot, aka the best spot ever will be shredded. Incase you don't know what I speak of this is all one spot that is the biggest bust ever some days and will end with you in cuffs, but know the right time to ride it, don't put stickers there marking your crew or company, no tagging, and just if asked to leave by a cop or if the owner tries to run you over in your Benz you have plenty of time to run before the Police come. This dude like runs the town so the cops won't be as cool as they were the time Van did this rail to tailwhip and my man in blue knew who Van Homan was from when I worked at the station as a clerk I would bring in BMX videos to get stoked to ride after work. Van Homan was most if the Police Department Favorite, Sean Burns was distinctly called a maniac and had a death wish, but the Police are really stoked on Geoff Slattery especially the ones who used to like skate and have been to FDR and know how wild some of the shit he does there is. But anways I could go on about certain people coming to town and putting their mark on spots. Tom White and Paul Horan grew up here and we all rode together so there is still certain things known as like the Tom White gap or the Paul rail, hell I have the Schnell hop over the fence by Burger King on Macdade Blvd. But anyways I took Molly for the first time and just keep typing but here is the spot we are riding tonight, the front are the flat ledges and its me doing a feeble to small gap to smith on the non waxed side just so the ledge lasts longer. But the waxed side is AMAZING!
