South America

One day I would really like to go do one of these races. As sketch as they look, it seems like it would also be pretty fun. I can for sure say there is no way I would attempt to win. In order to win one of these things you have to not give a single fuck. I would rather walk away alive, then try to win one.


 

RAAAAAAAT ATTTACK

This video shows what is possible on a trail bike. Most people are way too pussy to try and rally a trail bike this hard.

Some OG Youtube Vids

I feel like kids these days spend their whole lives on youtube. Youtube started in 2005 when I was in 8th grade. Here are a couple OG videos that I remember loving back in the day

Killing it

Slap Sunday #3: Grom yard fail.........

This is a small riding zone that was called "graveyard". I rode a fair amount in my grom days. Hell it was where I learned to hit jumps with a gap. Much has changed since its early years. Now it has been turned into a thirty-five year old's dream of freeride paradise. Basically, back when I rode it it was still a legit dirt jump zone. It had tallish lips, that where fairly steep and landings that where equally as steep. Now they are all lame long and low jumps that require no skill to hit. Also there has been a freeride trail built up top ,constructed to thirty-five year old riding a vp-free standards. "graveyard" has now become "gromyard".

 R.I.P graveyard

2004ish-2011

 To its defense, the trail is fun to pin and huck everything in sight on a hardtail. You can really scare the shit out of yourself with dirt jumping tires and one brake on a hardtail. Moral of the story, ride hardtails first. It produces bike skill and steeze. Just look at anyone with steeze, I bet they ride a hadtail. 

Now to the slap. After my discription of "gromyard" if you ride it on a downhill bike and hurt yourself just riding. You officially loose. If you do ride a downhill bike there you better sav out and do some cool shit. Watch the vid.

Actually saving out at "gromyard"

Urban DH Radness

This makes me want to ride this shit so bad

Kona? Carbon?....WTF

Kona is making a carbon downhill bike. Hopefully it does better then their first Stinkys and we see no more of these. After seeing far less broken Konas sense they made the Entourage and Operator, I have a feeling we wont see many broken carbon Operators.

 

and here is Aggy's carbon operator at a claimed 34lbs flat!

Menlo Park is such a sick park. Here is Tyler Dunn blasting out of it

Something Funny Something Cool

I seriously want to try this. The reactions this must cause would be worth it. Also sense it looks like you "fall" they cant get pissed at you.

 

For as little riding as there is this video is dope. I wonder if he actually landed that whip at :17. Why else would it be cut early? Regardless the steeze shown throughout is off the charts. Frankly if I had the money, I would go buy a set of these pedals right now. They are super dialed and where designed by people that absolutely rip on flat pedals.

Filming isn't easy.

Last weekend, I went down to SoCal to film an edit. It was an interesting adventure that started with     a sketchy bus ride from Chico with a potential drug addict seated across from me. Then, I had to board a Amtrak train in Sacramento. Let me tell you, lugging a gear bag, a helmet bag, my heavy ass school backpack and my 40lb v-10c. After a nice cruise through California hill country/east bay area . I arrived at Berkley. Then I had to wait for Kent Johnson, my friend from highschool who does work with a camera. Long story short, we went down to stay at Mike Lords house(khs/Fontana photographer) and use it for base camp to film a new edit. We teamed up with local racer Ryan Egusquiza who knows how to throw some good style. A trait very few racers have. Unfortunately Ryan had to leave halfway through the first day and couldn't make sunday. After two days in the blazing hot dry SoCal sun, we captured some shots we where happy with.

Kent can actually ride too......

Now sit back, and enjoy some chilled out riding just for the sake of riding. Freeride is not dead.

slap sunday #2 (sorry I was out of town)

This shot is pure insanity. I am pretty sure his brakes remain untouched until he is completely off the bike. That is a lesson we can all learn from. Always try to ride it out. If you get sketchy, dont hit the brakes and freak out. Instead, look ahead and keep it pinned. From a few experiences like this, I can say it works.

OG GoPro Shenanigans

Because I am parting ways from my OG GoPro (the one that uses aaa batteries), I decided to compile all the footy into a little edit. Get ready for some mayhem...

Good Shit from Yeti

I grew up watching the Yeti Podcasts.Oh how they have changed, but this is seriously good. I just wish for once an edit was 3 times as long.

Slap sunday #1

Fail Friday is being discontinued and Slap Sunday is taking over.

Pretty worthy face to ground. I have personally ridden that trail and where this kid ate shit would not be fun at all.

Ever wonder what Kenny says in the intros? Here you go..

WHAT THE FUCK of the day

The Current Kings of Steeze

This is why Brendog makes bank and you dont...

In other current news, Elliot Jackson now retired still continues to blow minds. With the best moto whips on a downhill bike yet. I honestly cant comprehend how he can get that sideways and bring it back. It is one thing to blast sideways, but it is a completely different ballgame to bring them back.

Macklemore got it wrong

GKC Radness

I first met Trevor and his brother Jordan in Mammoth riding bikes. These guys are for sure some of the raddest most badass people I know. Never a dull moment with these kids. Check the latest GKC edit and you will know why. When you want more go check out their youtube channel here and you will be entertained for days.

BMXicles

Here are some bmx edits of the homies Ola Selsjord and Tristan Adams. They are killing it and are going to get real big soon....and then theres Danny Sandoval. This guy is on another level. Kinda unfair to put his video in with theirs, but all three are very solid edits, enjoy!

Fail Friday #2

This one goes out to Drew Osher. How you washout on a dry wood bridge is a mystery to me. Had the bridge been wet I completely understand. Regardless it is amazing he didnt get seriously hurt.

Here's and epic Glory Hole sesh where I had to pretty much swim across the creek to get the shot. Good times..
