Due to weather and money issues I had to miss touring the states this fall

But Austin is still on the list to make the big move in a month even though Im technically unemployed right now and in the midst of growing a new beard. Im working on getting some interview content for the blog which should be dope, until then stay lit. And be sure to check out the Fiend Bmx promo if you haven't yet. Fuckin hell!

Nuff humor!

Vince took this photo of me carving the oddest transition at FDR Sunday night, stoked on knowing how hard this was to get speed for.
Here is a photo V.D sent me from Hoodcurd.
 Massive!
And this whopper I took this Spring after Vince only jumping the box twice,sickguy! So yes photo by Adam Grant Schnellenbach. This is one rad tailwhip!
Dolecki snapped this flying tuck no hander of Vinny at FDR at my Out For Justice ARF Benefit Jam.
My photo seems dead weak but if you knew the fear of ripping up to carve the SKULL you'd respect it.
I also stumbled upon this edit I made in 2005 which I feel as if still is enjoyable and has a great vibe to it with both the riding and Echo And The Bunnyman jam used before the Mutiny video Stoked On Being Pumped (yes Roye's and Neil Harrington's awesome's section and Props Bio for your pleasure) or TCU generation being obsessed with song jacking and what size waist 
( Reminds me of old times long gone, now forever a memory of failure and loss) I still think you should support Mike Tag and Clinton at their respectable jam at FDR. I had my jam this Sunday and fun was had by all. I teared up during my speech but Im still better at public speaking than Mr.Bean or Michael Scott.
Jokes eh? But I regress back to the topic at hand, just imagine me yelling it in an Ice Cube,"Predator" era style. Or I'll bleed you real quiet and leave you here. Different Predator's I know but both the record by Ice Cube and the Arnold Schwarzengger

But I still very much so love the general vibe and the promise of better times to my youth as shown thru the following edit. Tell me how you see it...aside from Shit! Which Im quite sure is damn good to my knowledge but opinions are like is Pizza Hut better than Domino's or is Papa John's the victor in the corporate level of the battle of the local pizza owned by a soda company!

Jane Doe/Astorian Stigmata Tour 2011/Van Homan Daze

Mortuary Monday Tunes For Your Ears Comes In The Form Of Converge-Jane Doe, Not Only Is This Record An Emotional Fist Fight Of Self Hatred And Bleak Visions, It Also Fucking Rules. The Title Track Is My Personal Favorite Converge Song So Get Into It You Hip Bastards!

And a very rare live performance packed with the emotion and chaos you come to expect if you happen to be a Converge fan. Cheers!
Also one of Jacob Bannon's side projects, "Supermachiner" complete with a sick OG Texas Chainsaw Massacre sample should get your mind working if you have any drugs beating around your brain.

Good tunes = a good tour!

Van Homan rules.

  •  Sorry Will and Rob for posting the enemy's wallpaper up, but a Homan No Footed Can-Can is always a treat for the eyes. Read DIG BMX MAG kids!

    On a positive note here is one of my favorite human beings and bike riders over the past 14 years and someone I can always look to when times are rough. A man most would be happy to talk with is a man who well is just someone I consider one of my best friends in the world. Thru thick and thin Van has always had my back, I have nothing negative to ever say about Van Homan. I think that some copies of the 2x4 video may still be available so sorry Van but this section is so fucking choice. As is your Stay Fit part which I think was over shadowed by the whole Fit/Cult fiasco. For the record I never picked sides as me being friends with people on both sides of the fence. Navaz and I grew up together, and Van has been my friend for over a decade. My bicycle is a contraction (yeah Crandall!)but to me good parts are good parts, so fuck it!

     Even with the latest crap to go down with Van speaking his mind against Cult if you would actually have read between the lines not what the latest blog kings had to say about it hiding behind their phony web names like "Chode Kagy." But its none of our business as a BMX community it all comes down to the fact of Van being injured and Robbie not visiting him in the hospital even though he was only 20 minutes away. Fit used to be about family and no matter how busy you maybe chilling at the X-Gaymes there honestly is no excuse not to visit an old teamate and friend for over ten years who is in a medically induced coma.

    This while Van Homeowner/Cult drama has nothing to do with  products its about being loyal and true to yourself. Robbie has helped me in the past and yes Im into Cult as a company and their team is fire

    . But Im also down with Fit and have also been since day one. Two words, MIKE AITKEN.

     So throw your fuel onto the fire but just remember there is always two sides to every story and sometimes the side of the story that should be told is kept low key and locked in a vault like the Lost Ark from the first Indiana Jones.

    So do your best as a BMX'er to keep supporting rider owned and USA Made Frames and parts, if you can't afford that both Fit and Cult have overseas options that are just as good.

    Or you can be a savage like me and support your friends over the pond and represent BSD and at the moment my FBM Anthem Steadfast hard! Keep riding and smiling kids.

     Have you seen him?

    So ride your fucking bike already!
