Empire in Colorado

Defgrip just posted some rad pictures of the Empire trip to Colorado. Click the Logo to check it out.

Mat Aid

A few pics from Woodward. Mat Olson jacked  himself up a good one, and a jam was thrown. Sorry for average pictures, but I was also riding and filming (LOL.) Also watched some of Stay Fit that night, not too shabby. Also a good amount of the clips in the video I shot.

BMX

This past year I have clocked more miles on my BMX bike than I have in the years. I’m not too sure why that is but it feels amazing. I have met so many new friends, met up with old friends, and thoroughly enjoyed bikes again. In March of this year,  I purchased a camera and that has undoubtedly helped with the initiative to ride more. But I think more than anything I just enjoy riding again. A lot of things have changed, no more 44t ‘dinner plate’ chainrings, no more Alex Triple Wall wheels, 36 as opposed to 48. But somethings have remained the same. Egos, bike throwers, and genuinely chill people who just love to ride bikes. I would like to think I fall into the last category. Between the bike thefts this year, riding with some of the most talented riders in the world, and witnessing the kindness and outpouring of support for those who have lost their valued possessions. I eagerly await what my future in BMX holds. I have learned a lot, and I hope I’ve created some positive and memorable moments this year. So as winter hits in this damned state. I look back and smile, not something enough people in BMX do anymore. So to all the haters, the frowning faces, the egoistical bastards, the people that never clap for you, they think you’re whacker than them ’cause they’re the masters and I bet disaster is caused in their mind when you flow and plaster their jaws shut with a dope line. (Thanks E&A)… I’m calling you out,  smile… it’s just BMX.

BMX!

HI!

Jessica

Jessica is a friend of mine who quite possibly might be the most down to earth and chill person I’ve ever met. For the record she’s not too shabby at riding bikes either.

I hate Colorado sometimes.

Get used to it.

At least I got this CD today. It’s soooo catchy.

Good... horsie?

Woodward Denver

I’m genuinely confused on how I feel about Colorado’s primary indoor park. I think it provides an awesome oasis in the harsh/unpredictable/annoying winters, on the other hand it’s a mundane, run down, re-worked park that is patched together. All notions aside I ride there from time to time and last night I had the opportunity to shoot some photos with Eric.

LBC Thinks Dogs are Pretty Rad too!

The newest addition to our 'family'

This is Gracie. A close friend decided that 4 dogs was a little much for her to handle. We talked for a little while and she was more than happy that Gracie was going to a home where she can have all the attention she needs. (It’s a lot if you’re wondering) So i’m sure you’ll be seeing more of her on this here website. LBC totally approves of Gracie. They nap together it might be the cutest damn thing ever.

End of Summer

It’s the end of Summer. It’s getting colder, days are getting shorter. Speaking of which I’ve shot some photos.

Also FYI I think Odyssey BMX is the best company in the world…

2009

I honestly thought I’d shoot 100 ‘good’ photos during this summer. Unfortunately I’ve only hit 60. 2009 isn’t over yet so I guess I could make it a year goal.

Here’s the link to the album.

Sad

Hopefully this will not continue. It’s so incredibly sad to know that transworld whored itself out in the most blantant of ways. I sincerely hope this is a joke or a one time deal.
