Yet Another Rap Video

So on my various adventures on my bike i have run into quite a few musicans looking to make it big. One time matt, bryan and i met tresor hugo (an aspiring rapper) on his mall tour across the east coast or something not to mention all of the homeless guys littered around the beach in the summr time who, somehow, have held onto the same guitar for the past 30 years and write original jams on life and nam. And a few months back (sometime around christmas time or earlier) bryan and i were riding a spot in portsmouth and yet another aspiring musican walked up and needed our assistance to make it big, so us being good samaritans we decided to help the man out and we even called lyle in for more assistance. Now a few months later i got an email from the man himself and her it is folks straight from hip hop legand Le.C, "I'm So Dope."



















Tresor, Me, Bryan and Matt last summer.

Spring Break

Well its that time of year again FINALLY!! Time for that nice long week or so off from school to relax and drink a koolaid or something. Or if your me go on a long ass road trip to a bunch of different random places. For the most part the team will be home doing work, and well working. I will be gone for the whole break, I have been stressed lately and its time i got that massage from that pretty asian girl in Tai Pei. Bryan maybe doing a couple of little trips too, but I think for the most part he will be here. Lyle got a new job where he gets to wear a pretty fresh looking uniform (no seriously it looks legit, i was highly impressed when i saw him the other day). Mike and Quantez will be holding it down at barons as always.







Expect something big coming up, have a fun and safe spring break.

screen printers??

Quantez Video

I spotted this web video created by Jason Eure featuring both Jason and our boy Quantez.

Trail Blazin!!

So I had to do this shoot for photography involving motion and the best idea that came to mind was charging down a hill. However, being this is virginia beach we dont have hills....except for mt trashmore..or should i say....thrashmore. We tore down that hill on the coldest day ever, however its some of the most fun I have had in months, I highly recommend it on one condition: no brakes!!














We were gonna pop this pimple a new one!

































































































POP OFF!!

doing thangs

Well not a whole lot is going on with the team right now. Bryan and i have been riding the beach a lot when we have time lately but due to school, his newly stripped driver and the odd weather that is virginia beach we pretty much ride when we can. Mikes arm is slowly healing and he'll be back on that raw steel warhorse asap, for now he just started going back to work and is doing well. Quantez has also been working lately too and crusin when he can. Lyle has been on the down low lately so im not quite sure what hes been up too but im sure hes doing 180 tire grabs over a hand rail on a big 22 set thats well above bar height. Were all pretty much relaxing and enjoying some down time after these bustling holidays, curled up in a nice velvet arm chair, reading the sunday comics, watch john stewert and listening to the crackling of the newly burning fire on the rich mahogany timber while stroking mr wiskers and wrapped up in a nice robe, or if your bryan, a smoking jacket. Heres some more beach pictures.



















































































About the time bryans driver seized up




















But he still threw a couple of barspins

Another odd winter day

For those of you who have ever been to Virginia Beach you will know that we have some of the weirdest weather on this planet. One day it can be 34 degrees and snowing and the next day it can be 80 and sunny....literally, and especially in the winter. So whenever we get a warm one we seize the opertunity, which was the case on monday. After leaving school and getting some fresh new school ids (complete with red devil eyes) Bryan and i headed down to the beach, which both of us havent been there since the before the summer started. Overall a good day of riding; he remembered why he loved the place and i wondered why we dont go there more often.

Mike got broke off

This past weekend Lyle, Mike and Bryan went out to Newport News to get some more footage. Apparently there was a railhop that Mike tried and didnt quite make it and both of his arms suffered. The man wont be riding for a few weeks. Pray for him kids!!

The CPSIA bmx petition

So I signed this awhile ago and i think its something that everyone who particapates in bmx should atleast take a look at. The new law basically states that any bike/bike part created for a bike with a wheel size 20" and under is required to be testes for lead paint. Now we all know bmx doesnt have nearly as much money as skateboarding or other sports so moneys tight and these tests are very expensive. And it seems largely unlikely to me that anyone, let alone a bike company, uses lead paint for anything anymore. So if you havent done so already please take a look at the petition and if you feel up to it sign it.

How other people get bent

Lets examine how the rest of the world gets bent.



Get Bent is a pop-punk band from New York and they really know how to get bent. The group is made of some ex-members of Potboiler and some other people and they also have a similar sound to Potboiler too. The demo r00lz and if your into bands like Red and Blue, The Ergs!, Lemuria, or even Stupid Party you might enjoy Get Bent.

Have you ever wanted to learn magic?? I know I have!! This DVD starring Nicholas Byrd and James Coats will teach you how to get bent with your magic skills!!
http://www.worldmagicshop.co.uk/bent-nicholas-byrd-james-coats-p-1312.html


Magic or music not your thing? Actually physical activity is? Well maybe you should literally get bent and try gymnastics. This sport could more than likely get you bent the most. Shit you could probably get more bent then a ferrarri in a a 400mph car reck!!




Or maybe your a reader? Well than Australia's got you covered with Bent Magazine! Each issue is chock full gay goodness that will bend that straight bone alittle queer. Stay bent!!
