Best wishes go out to Zac who had a spill this past weekend and ended up in the hospital with a ruptured spleen. He joins the ranks of BMX bad asses such as Dave Mirra, and Mat Hoffman who are both spleen-less shredders. Don’t worry about him, despite the staples in his stomach, the doc was generous on the Rx tip. Personally i thought his liver would be the first organ to go, but these things come out of no where.
If you can make it out to the jam in the city this Saturday, i strongly suggest you do so. Jam is gonna be a good time and we’ll be premiering the new Franchise web vid among some other rad new videos once the sun goes down. Come out, throw down, toss back some brews and enjoy the flicks. See you in the streets suckas.
Strange things indeed. Strange things such as getting chased by the cops in response to a trespassing call and having a cop draw their nightstick, tell you to drop your shit and get against the wall, all for riding a spot. It’s funny, I’ve been riding for so long that i often forget that many of the things that we do on our bikes are in fact illegal. You go so long putting your pegs down on ledges, hopping fences to ride spots, and leaving tire marks all over walls that it becomes second nature to do so and the thought of consequences for such actions as vandalism and trespassing becomes the last thing on your mind. Either way, I think i could’ve done without this one. Court dates can really fuck up your summer travel plans.
Other strange happenings include skate ads on the back of public buses? In LA maybe, but i never expected to see some shit like this up here. What is the world coming to?
The whole team together at once for a photo op? Ok this is really some weird shit goin on here now.
Bet you wish you knew where this spot was. Cheers to trespassing on private property and reaping the benefits. Face in the beginning of a trick that shares a name of song by metallica which they recorded before they lost went totally puss.
In case you didn’t know, Zac really likes bars. Sometimes he likes throwin’ em, and sometimes he likes passing out in em. Here is a photo of the former. Zac told me he recently had a nightmare that King Cobra came out with KC Zero, a 5% light malt liquor. Thank god it was only a dream. That’s enough to leave any man waking up in a cold sweat.
