Another Day...

So for those not in the loop. Im in AZ again for the 2nd time in not so long Im gonna get an apartment here someday I swear, LOL there's a race her ein August so Ill be back for that as well. LOL Im a temporary resident... Anyway Im here for Alicia's College Grad Festival haha. She gets to walk 3 times so Ive been teasing about how many times does it take until your really done LOL. Shits good though I never miss peoples big accomplishments so I gotta be here and be supportive and do the good stuff. Psyked for her college is a big deal and shes finally done with it unless you gets a doctorates or whatever which would be 2-4 more years. Good Job and Congrats.

On the personal side of things, I have narrowed down the unnamed bike co. to either "trinity" or "forthright" I like trinity but the company united has a frame out called the trinity and its kinda biting them in a way I think... But I might go with it anyway. And forthright is a word for straight forward and direct, which pretty much sums up my vision of the company project thing so I like that one as well. Ive been tinkering with illustrator for some logos and designs so keep an eye out, should be good. Aighty im slightly home sick but its nuthing serious yet I wanna ride a concrete park and haul ass :) Cunningham is gonna be shredded when I get home. First race back is in a week so juiced about that too... NM watch out.

New Rider Added!

So check it out... The company with no name has picked up its first rider for an undisclosed amount of ca$h. Basically I told Kevin if he rode for my new company Id give him a 10 on my scoresheet all day long. He accepted the deal and we signed him for a 2 year contract to the un-named company. Bailey witnessed it all in case he tries to shade out, you know you cant trust guys in V-neck shirts... SC Jump Jam 2008.

Uh Huh...

So I dont have a pic for this but if you were there or ask you may get some proof. So Tony Hawk carved this big vert wall at the new park pretty damn high awhile back and slapped a sticker up on it. This isnt a normal wall and I will get a pic for clarity soon, anyway, so lets say if* I had the chance to ride it some time I would definitely make it a point to gun for that mark if not higher. If* I got that high it would be a good iono 15-25feet tall? Anyway a photo will rise someday and until then it shall go down as an unproven rumor... But in Tony's defense it's gotta be hard to carve that high with 35billion dollars in your pockets from 17versions of your own video game. :) Its all love guys... Psyked. Check the wall below and Im calling out my head over the low side of the top someday, yeah I just called it out- fuggem.

Baby Steps...

So heres a tidbit about the bars I have been working on... They will come 8" tall and 27" wide with 10 degress back sweep and 4 degrees upsweep. Its nothing too radical it will be extremely similar to a beringer light bar but a bit lighter. I have loved beringers and alot of s&m bars so I just did a collective of the angles I knew I liked, and the butted tubing that is allowing to lighten things up a bit. I will probably do a few with 1 degree of upsweep because racer types typically stick with little upsweep and Im trying to get the biggest target market I can. Retail should be a modest $40-$45 bucks as long as everything goes as planned and Im getting 150 sets made so I will have quite a bit of them once I get em in. Oh yeah I forgot for all the weight goons out there look for them to be just a pinch under 25ounces about 24.6. Im working on some different crossbar things so that might save an ounce or two as well but Im not trying to get anyone killed by a set of 14ounce bars either so dont expect them to be too crazy... Sorry kids they dont have any holes in them either, but I do like the macneil bars with the holes under the grips those are kinda cool, but not my stuff sorry. Colors will prolly be just good ol black and white and a few limited edition sets but they would be priced a tad bit higher :( Anyway hope you enjoy the info and hang tight the stuff should be rolling soon enough...

Its Official...

So the new Cunningham Park opened this last weekend while I was in Tulare watching my nephes and niece get their pull on. From what Ive heard it is all it's cracked up to be and then some and I even got a group pic below with some legendary mugs in there. I missed it hangin with the family but Im hopeful that their will be MANY sessions to come in the future. I figure this park will be the 3rd installment of what I consider the staple parks. Go ahead and count in cali dirt as well because thats a staple as well. But SJRC, Vans, and now Cunningham are going to be the place to be for the time being. Ive walked the park but Ive yet to set my tires there, and Im excited to say the least. $50 is cheap for a year pass so Ill be jumping on that and hopefully alot of BMX'ers do and the city notices it because lets face it money does help motivating factors and a few more or just longe rsessions would be welcomed. Im going there tomorrow not sure who's gonna be out there but Im guessing Ill find a familiar face or two. Gonna try to keep it tame and not get excited and wreck my knee, but Ill be very real with you Ive been wondering how high I can air still and see what Ive got to relearn... Anyway look forward to seeing alot of you cats out there all summer and Ive already heard rumors of a contest in the works, so that could be very cool if we got it worked out. Enjoy the pic of the first session there and Ill be photoshopping myself in at some later time.

Roots.

So if you aint into your own roots and where the f*** NOR CAL really came from and some of the OG dudes that have laid the groundwork for all that is NOR*CAL pride. Here's a picture of a cool numberplate thats gettin charity auctioned off somewhere. Bob Haro rounded up 30 artists and had them do some retro numberplates and Norman Chuck out of Nor Cal dropped this one. If you have no idea of who Vanderspek was or the entire Curb Dogs history get yourself a cup of juice and google the words curb dogs and read up. Im not too sure that many of the OG guys see my blog but if they do enjoy this pic if you havent already seen it and know that what you've contributed is very much appreciated.

"To know where your going, you should probably have some kind of idea where you came from."

18 and over...

FUCK. I am fuckin frustrated as a mutherfucker right now and I am so fucking annoyed it not even remotely funny. I am trying to find the info online to finish fixing my Blazer and I cant find a fucking thing. Super stressed out right now and I need a vacation BADLY. Supposed to go to Tulare for a race this weekend as long as I get this whore of a fucking vehicle fixed, but even if I dont Im still going anyway Ill just catch a ride with someone.

Anyway im seriously juiced about yesterday chilled with Nor Cal's finest both past, present, and on the come up. Oscar, Hugo, Crowbar * Ill get into him in a sec, Nyquist, Old School Joe, Beerman, Cam Birdwell, Fuckin who's who of Nor Cal and a chill day. Did I forget Squirrel? My bad he was in the house and BBQ'd for us thaks mayn.

Anyway- Oscar had me sign a beam in his garage whic was kinda cool, like a right of passage as their was some serious names up there. " Oscar, Thanks for all the love Nor Cal 4 Life Nick Dawg. " will hang on that beam for years to come and I look forward to seeing it a bit more because I never get out to his place enough... Nyquist signed to the left of me and I told him after he left I was going to change my scribbles to "Nyquist aint shit" Haha. Anyway Cam Birdwell is on some other shit still and thats all good in my book. I look forward to him shaking up the message boards and the current state of BMX in general i the coming months. Stay out of trouble Cam your the man and we need you around healthy!

Crowbar- My guy! So if you dont know his story Ill lik something in a second but basically he was involved i a shitty motorcycle accident, got ran off the road by some cunt and left for dead. Not Crowbar though God had a plan for him and he's doing some different shit in his life but doing damn good for himself. I give him shit for driving Mercedes but thats how they do it when your a Hollywood star LOL. Love you Kurt keep riding and showing people that just because at one point in life your down, doesnt mean that your out.
