Somewhat dated photo of Zac, grown ass man sized railhop in the bayview, photo by Hammertime. Zac finally got on the myspace tip after years of talking shit, so if you find him on there, heckle the shit out of him.
Also, this trailer for the new Odyssey video has been out for some time, but i watched it again today and got me really psyched. Looks like Jimmy’s got some bangers in there, Jim C too. Fun Jim C fact: Jim had his first introduction to tequila shots with myself, B Locke and the legend Ben Pritchard at some dive bar in Buffalo, NY a couple days prior to the ‘05 Metro Jam in Toronto. We got that mother fucker shitfaced and smoked cigarettes in the bar, which is a big no no in the state of NY. Good times.
Lotek just dropped their welcome edit for Kurtis the day after he got the pink slip from Volume. CLICK HERE to watch Kurt straight shit all over the game. Peep the f-bomb shirt in the Wally’s clip. Shinin’.
Stay up homie.
Jody Stoddard runs a shop called Timeless BMX in Boston. It’s one of the best BMX only shops I’ve ever been to (see also Vic Bettencourt’s Circuit BMXin Rhode Island). Jody has been down with Franchise since day one and was actually the first shop to ever carry any of our stuff. Jody is one of the coolest dudes that my stupid little bike has ever allowed me to meet. He is a triple-OG in the BMX game, has probably been riding longer than you’ve been alive, and most likely rides harder than you do, well into his thirties. I’m pretty sure the only time he ever charged me to work on my bike was when he asked for $5 to lace a 48h four-cross back wheel. Now that’s a deal! There’s some interviews with him up on the Mass BMX site. Check it out, listen to Jody drop some knowledge, and maybe even buy something to help support the BMX community.
Out with the old, in with the new right? So here’s a couple pics of some of the new shirts. These should be making it to a few shops/mailorders in the very near future, but if you can’t wait that long, shoot an email to contact@franchisebmx.com and we’ll work it out. Purple Haze shirts also come in light gray.
Kyle got a scanner for christmas and he’s been getting down. Check the photos for proof.
Dustin should be coming back to SF tonight after a long bout with a staff infection. It’s gonna be good to have ya back, dog.
