Checklist...

Well in typical fashion I finally check off something in my life's mission and quickly replace it with something I feel is better. I got a new phone the other day which to some is no big deal, but Ive been rockin a phone with a useless keyboard that didnt even make calls 95% of its lifespan and I finally upgraded to a new WHITE EVO :) Shit is 4G so it's kinda important or something. I swear I only got it since it was called the evo and was available in white, but moving on checked that off the to do list. What did I add you are wondering? Well Im a stalker of www.defrgip.net its kinda artsy photog BMX based, whatever its a rad site. So they ran a feature below about a spot that was just goooood for a picture. The trick is nothing crazy just a clicked lookback, but the scenery is what sets it apart and makes it super good. Well I liked it so much I decided I wanted somethin similar. On my several coast to coast trips a year back and forth between races Im sure I have somehow passed alot of chances for one off riding shots that could kick a$$ like the on in this post. Well I shall not drive oblivious any longer. One time Al didnt let me stop when I saw a 1200pound bison or something ion Montana and to this day I regret not trying to go touch it. Ill be back for your ass Mr. Bison and this time Ill be ready. Where was I? Oh yeah. Im gettin a cool picture. Not sure where when how and all that stuff but I do know Why. Cuz I said so. Be on the lookout.

Tony Hoffman- Flip cam is ready, Im bringin you a bike check your site isnt ready for.

Congrats Jason&Kristie Silva


These two kids tied the knot and I made sure to get my a$$ out there and celebrate their wedding. It was a great time the food was on point, the dancing was good, and all in all I really enjoyed myself. He had a grooms cake which was a BMX track and Kristie was lookin HOT! Check the pics below and congrats to them. Here is to a future together. Tink!

Life Is Short



My cell phone banner reads "Life Is Short" and it's kinda a reason why I live or try to live in a manner that reflects the urgency to do what you want or strive for when you have the chance. Tomorrow isn't promised you know? Anyway saw these rad mushrooms growing next to a palm tree @ LCRSP last night. Thought they were super cool and snapped a pic of them. Then this morning just 8 hours later I got back to work and this is what they looked like. They just rolled up and done deal :( If you got something you been wondering about or waitin on, fire it off today is my advice.

This bitch ass sister of mine just showed up at my house, been owing me $400.00 and when I hit her up about it she like "I aint got it dick" hahaha is that how you feel? Was it "dick" when I loaned you the 4hunnid cuz ur fuckin stupid ass needed it to go outta state on some other BS? Was it "dick" last month when I loaned you a few hunnid, was it "dick" every other time I helped ur fuckin ass out and helped you to keep your shit together? Yeah it wasnt "dick" when you needed some cash was it? You fuckin piece of shit- fuck you. pay me and get fucked. Nick your unreasonable thats your sister, thats your family blah blah blah. Fuck you too. haha family or not I dont give a fuck if your the mother of my only child, once you fuck me over your just yet another fuckin person on the planet who is a cunt. Pay me bitch.

New Whip. Kinda.


So at Grands I got just worked on my cruiser. Like worked nasty. So I decided to buy a new frame slightly bigger than what I was riding. Built it up and it looks pretty good. Thanks goes out to my 2011 sponsor Rob Rio Frio for the forks, but I was too gucci to use them. Sinz aluminum fork 5ounces heavier than my SX cro-mo fork? Weird. Stuck with the SX. So there it is my 2011 24" whip if I dont do well on it within the first few races, it will be for sale. If you think Im jokin then you dont know me. School show tomorrow assuming the rain clears up should be fun. I missed a day at the warehouse for it so Im definitely losing money by going, but its good karma and educate the kids and all that so we doin it major:) Ive hijacked Roybals escape so Ive been fairly spoiled being able to go places in the past week LOL. What else... Thats about all for now. enjoy a blurry picture of the new whip- Nick

Grands. Busyness.

5 people asked me today why I havent blogged in a bit so I figured I better quit slackin. Went to Grands and had a good time but definitely didnt ride too well LOL. I got ousted in my 1/8th main for class and semi'd in cruiser. 73 riders showed up in 19-27X making that arguably the biggest grands class of all time. Ive been doing the BMX stuff for about 15 years and never seen a class that big. Crazy tough 7 man 1/8ths taking 3... Trip was good all in all though. Maris got broke off on day 1 alogn with Joey Bradford so the titles were all pretty weakly mathematically decided so the possibility of a crazy lap to lap battle was quickly over before it started. Tough break for Joey, he goes way fast but cant seem to have a small crash. He will be back though and his training partner Mr Lubbe made the elite main which is quite impressive, but even cherry on top is he passed 88 Kyle Bennett for the last spot in the main. Kids ridin strong for sure. Little bit more of a first straight and I can see Gavin gettin on the podium very soon. I get nervous because him and Sifiso Nhlapo need to kick ass so they can both make the Olympic bid together. Seeing either guy not get in would be a bummer. Gotta pull for Nor Cal though so git it boy!

NBL State series meeting went donw recently as well. Some things needed to change and some did change. Not sure how I feel about it all but whatever. Change is in the air and younger faces are slowly working their way into the mix and I think thats the future. Made some good changes and hopefully the state series can start to grow again, its slowly been dwindling for a few years now :(

Livermore Rebuild! It was a very unorthodox way of going about it but it worked out. Basically Eric our NBL builder had a small window to come and rebuild our track. The timing was very rushed and things were quickly thrown together and luckily between myself, Jason Silva, and Eric and alot of patience and understanding we ended up with a cool track that everyone hopefully is psyked on. Ive done as much as I can do and hopefully it starts paying off in the first few months of the year. Looking forwrad to trying to scam Gavin outta their old gate at prunetucky so that would be nice if we could get that dialed in. Soil Tac calls have been made and just waiting to hear back and get a green light and that will be done next. If everyone participates as much as they can Im telling you people we will have the best program in all of BMX hands down. Rider operated is the way to go so come out and show your support.

Nor*Cal Classic! Ive not forgotten! Possibly going down this weekend at Livermore if the weather holds. Its cloudy the next few days so Im gonna check out the dirt tomorrow and see what shape it's in. If its too soft we will nail a new date down but if it looks like it will dry out in time then Saturday we could definitely get it done. Dirt jumps might not happen though but we could have a box jump jam that night at LCRSP to make up for it... Thats all for now. Crazy busy but had to blog it out.

Jump2Jump show on Thursday with some lame new guy on the team- Ryan Nyquil? Guess he is decent on a bike? Whatever. Al better not put him on the payroll until we see what kind of rider he is...
