Photos + more new shirts + video soon

Here's a couple photos of the over/under line and one of a shirt I made today. I've been putting together a video of all the scrap clips I have, it should be up tonight. I have tons of scrap clips because I'm still learning to use the dvx, but don't be misled by the quality of this stuff, the good shots I have look nice.

Rain

It finally rained and the trails are looking awesome. We had probably the best session of the year Monday with Colin and Jesse from the valley; David Clay was in full effect, doing the biggest stuff with the smallest bars. The over/under line is finally working, the berm is packed and it's jumpable (I know, because I did yesterday). It's supposed to rain again Sunday, lets get a session going.

I'll post some photos tonight when I get home.

Cop shirts

Here's the beginning of this run of cop shirts. Most of these will have a front print and not a side one, but the front prints I did are distressed and drying right now...

Awesome street session last night, David Clay doing ridiculous tricks, Marlo threed a nice gap, all those dudes are awesome. Somebody wrecked the trails, there's nothing worse than showing up at your jumps to find that someone's dug holes in the lips and landings. Pretty sure it was mountain bikers from the way it went down; needless to say we're looking for a new spot.

The best message board post of all time

Here's an except from an awesome thread on bmxboard in which Charlie Crumlish interprets a myspace post by Blackman....

Originally said by Blackman:
YO what the fuck b u haten to so u took me off ya top Nobody die at the banks i was about to fuck up boojew and he was like chill black because i was getTIN him back for breakin my nose but he dip and everbody else dip and then when nigga left THESE LITTLE NIGGAZ START FIGHTING THE SHIT WAS CRAZY it was me and mel rideing and some other kids from the bronx and next thing i know i see a coulpe of kids around like 13 14 fighting and shit and the police came started asking question so i dip because to the police the blackman did it and to everbody else i did it and i didnt even do nothing i was just rideing and shitin on niggaz see niggaz is scared BUT IF U DONT BELIVE ME FUCK U AND EVERBODY ELSE TO BECAUSE I RUN NEWYORK ASK RICKROSS ASK JEZZY AND ASK 50 CENT WHO BLACKMAN IS WACTH THE SCENE IS CHANGEING YA SEE SOON

Interpreted by Charlie Crumlish:
I'm largely disappointed at the prejudice and unfair portion of blame I've been receiving as of late. Nobody lost their life at the Banks, my collegue BooJew and I had a minor disagreement. Unfortunately, he left before I was able to express my unhappiness with the nasal fracture he had administered upon me some time ago. The rest of my companions had, at this point, deemed this a proper time to retire, when a number of young rascals began what I can only refer to as horseplay, in a rather violent manner. My friend Mel and I had just ridden our cycles into the Bronx for a light dinner, when the authorities appeared, and began to ask questions that did not strike me as favorable, in relation with my near to semi-distant future. The police, you see, were under the impression that I had violated some sort of law, and I considered it in my best interest to return to my home and think the evening through with a steaming cup of my good friend Earl Grey. My mentors Richard Ross and 50 Centennial can collaborate my story.

RAW + RAIN

New Stuff

A long time ago we made a shirt called "native art" that had like a wolf, a moon, an eagle and an old man, with a t-rex. I decided to do a follow up shirt and they came out nice. They're ten bucks if anyone wants one. The cop shirts are on their way as well.

Almost...

Ryan's been working on a webvideo forever, but he had some problems formatting it;
this is the best he could get it to upload before he quit, the footage is actually really good looking though, so maybe we'll pull some of it for the video.

Alaska

We've added one more rider to round off the Alaska team for now. Above this is a screen grab of David Clay; it's a dirt bike clip, I haven't pulled out any bmx stuff yet. On a side note, I was pretty stoked on how the colours turned out in this shot. Expect some awesome things from this guy, he's got some ridiculous skills on a bike.

We're still planning a roadtrip to Fairbanks soon here...

Pirate Blogging

I put up a new front page... Brent Webb doesn't ride for us and I don't know who took that photo, or how he got ahold of that aligator. We do love Brent though, he's pretty much the sweetest dude ever.

pics

Here's a few photos that travis sent me of himself, Desson and Matt Lindsay. I'm pretty sure that wallride Desson is doing is one of the crazier things I've seen, but you'd have to ride that thing to understand why... congrats to Shawn Hoffarth whose wife had their first baby pretty recently, I'm not sure when because he ghosts msn all the time.

Cop Shirt Reissue

Occasionally people will bug me to release the cop shirt again, so I decided to get some done. The logo is minorly different this time, but I should be able to start printing them tomorrow and get some pics up. Lets see if I can think of some other news... Ryan Harley is our new team rider from Fairbanks, he's been working hard on a webvideo that should be up in the next couple days. Ryan rides everything from flat to the biggest, steepest rails out there, so it should be a treat. There's a photo of Brian a few posts down, but he's also going to be riding for us (I should probably find out his last name); Brian has a broken elbow right now, but he still comes out and digs and his great great grandfather founded the city of Compton (that's not even a joke). We're planning a trip to Fairbanks in a few weeks to get some filming done for the vid and visit our friends at Savvy Ride Shop. Tyzee is coming up to Alaska in September to do a bit of adventuring, which will be right after they finish building our ridiculously expensive and kind of dumb metal skatepark. Desson fell on his head and got a concussion.

Evan Scott is Stoked!

Here's a few photos of our trails from today. It's been sunny so everything's crumbling a bit, but you can't beat them on a good day after some rain.
