In other sponsorship news, Dustin has been asked to join the Nor Cal legacy that is the Solid bikes team. Shit’s official. YEEEEEEE!

I don’t know why I never did this before, but after having a week long trip of sitting on planes, trains and automobiles, I realized just how crucial it is to have some sick flix on your ipod. So we’re jumping on the bandwagon and posting up an iPod file for the first video. It’s 2008, time to get with the program. Right click save as on the picture below to download the quicktime file, then drag that shit into your iTunes and you’ll be all set. We upgraded the video on the home page to quicktime as well. Big thangs homies.
Homie JP sent over a pic of Danny from a sesh over the weekend. The photo doesn’t really do this justice, it’s a pretty sick line, bank to bush hop to manual to icepick. Go to the Seafood Peddler in San Rafael, check out the spot, then get a bowl of the best clam chowder you’ve ever had in your life.
You’ve no doubt seen Ricky Adam’s photos all over the pages of DIG. Check out his website, which has got some real sick B/W photos of urban underground life from all around the UK.

Another trip south has gone down in the books. Not too much riding went down on mine or Dirt’s part, but you best believe we kept it lit. Highlights include Jim Bauer’s sick 81 porsche, the black dude on roller blades who skates around shredding metal riffs on his electric guitar on Venice beach, and driving lost through south central LA on Saturday night. Chris Savoy sav’d out and took second in the jam, after forgetting his front wheel at the beach the day before. We also had the pleasure of hanging out at the OBEY printing facility, shredding the ramp and some beers. This was about the only time I pulled my camera out, so enjoy.
Beasts and beasts.
Apparently this, as well as a couple other porno flicks were shot on location.
OMAR!

Here’s a couple snaps from a dope little sesh in SF yesterday. Kyle and I shot a couple photos, Face filmed a couple shirtless clips, and Dirt took a digger over the bars on a disaster attempt. Sounds like a pretty typical Franchise sesh.
Go out and get some yourself.

I probably shoulda posted this yesterday, but staring at a computer screen is about the last thing i like to do when nursing a hangover. But ya, yesterday was the legendary Jon Peacy’s birthday. He couldn’t be reached for comment on what he was doing to celebrate, but i’m sure he probably doesn’t remember either. Peep this:
One of Zac from the archives. Livin’ that SMITH LIFE to the fullest. Double tire smith, sean photo.
Talked with Kenton the other day. He’s been buying jeans in bulk, 7 or 8 pairs at a time. Gotta stay fly…
Another from the archives. One of the funnest days on a bike i’ve ever had. Wait did i say on the bike? I meant on the bottle. The Blue Falcon flyin’ high at the FBM Belmar comp over the summer. Yea, that’s fuckin high bro….

Today would have been our good friend Ben Pritchard’s 26th birthday. We had a few drinks last night in his honor of his memory and in celebration of Danny’s birthday as well. In typical K-town fashion, B Locke was cut off at the bar after several double Jameson’s. After that, Kyle and myself met a mexican gentleman while twisting a Jay Z in the park who proceeded to not leave us alone and killed about half of said J.
It’s puff puff GIVE muthafucka.
Dirt Mgrt keepin’ it lit as usual…photo by kyle.
