Thanksgiving....


Today is my favorite holiday of the year. Mostly because it is about getting together and just being with the people that matter most and not gifts and shit. It's a little funny that I am spending today by myself working on the store, but anyway, thats what i wanted to do today since my family is away and most of my friends are doin the traditional holiday thing. I built the float for the parade on Sunday and now am about to start buildin bikes,lots and lots of bikes.... Mostly i want to Thank the guys in the picture above for doin so much for me all year, way too many good times with these guys and I wouldn't be the same without them, also to AMC for doin pretty much EVERYTHING all the time. Also, everyone who has rolled through these doors, you all are a huge part of this place... RAD skatepark edit should be done and posted by tonight, just a quick one from the past three times we rolled in.... Thanks again!!!! Come out to Putnam Sunday night for the light parade!!!!! We'll see you there!!!!!!

Monday Monday

Today was sweeet, I opened the shop to do that Monday stuff that has to get done from the weekend and then Jordan Came in and was like, "Hey, lets go ride the park before school gets out!" So off we went..... it was super fun. Then we all went to Rad...

Had a goal to get these nose jam thingys dialed in and landed a bunch today finally.....

Dan jumped on the hubba up to gap t-bog into the wedge.... pretty awesome, he also ETed it and basically smiled the whole damn time we were there. Dan+Rad skatepark=love

Tarren was doin some sweeet moto whips, also a bunch of kool shit elsewhere in the park.

Jordo gapped to this 5oh, it was nutty, also a bunch of other crazy shit like gap to slide down the edge of the box jump thing. Gnar.
I did a bunch of old man tricks, I was happy to pay the 5 dollar senior price tonight.

Norwich gnarBQ

Here's an edit by Jay Long of yesterdays Norwich skatepark gnarBQ, they just redid yet another addition to the park all funded by the skaters and put together by Worship Skateboards and Jeff Blaymen. I was sad to see the 10 or so bike riders not even throw in a dollar to donate to the park i am sure they ride everyday just as much as the skaters do. Glad the Bikers in Dburg take part in fund raising just as much as the skaters do, lets hope the Norwich crowd gets on board soon... Check this out, it is sweeeeet!!!!

Trails....

The weather has been amazing here all week. On Sat. i closed up the shop at 3:30 and headed out in the woods to get schooled by the young guns at some trails.... Keep in mind, Some OG riders started this place ten years plus ago and i dug here when there was just a path and a first lip.... The new crop of kids are startin to get into it and the place has been resurected, although a bit more mellow, I was still scared to hit em....

Here is me barely makin it over the second jump.

Chris is blastin these things and excited on diggin his own fun...

Another young gun who was schoolin me

Check it out, dirt on my tires.... proof.

And look here, my Jeep is actually off road!!! I expect way more jeep waves whilst driving from now on.

Get Rad.

Went to Rad skatepark last night with the fellas.....

Jordo boostin the vertical wall, DG stickers are on the very tippity top!!!

Chris was blastin some radicle moves until he decided to punch the floor with his face.

Adam was 2 wheelin and 4 wheelin, here he hits the box jump in full old man style. We both got in for the 5 dollar senior discount, wow, it was cool then but now I'm like damn, I'm old. Whatever, still at a skatepark instead of watching stick and ball sports with a bunch fanatics......

Nick did some kool shit, he is x his arms while only having one foot on his bike.....

Welcome to the real world....


DG trip is now just memories... Woke up to fucking two inches of snow in Ct. I have to send a thank you out to everyone who went on the trip, Dan,Jordo,Justin,Jake,Nick and Mark(who stuck out the whole trip with a broken collarbone) Seriously a great time. Next is to pretty much the entire state of Florida!! You guys rock!!! Evan at Recycles saved us and made a somewhat bad thing into an amazing time. Richmond VA is amazing.... Here's to a good trip. Thank you to everyone who made it happen.

The drive home : (

We drove along Datona beach for a bit before we left Florida.... day 11 was all driving, I drove us the first 5 hours, then Jordo for a few, then I drove the suicide shift from 2am to 6, then Jordo for a few, Dan drove for 2.5 hours, while we had some camera fun, I slept in the trunk of the Burb.... then I drove the last shift of 5 hours till we were back at good ol cold ass DG. Thats the 2010 trip. I'll be editing the footy and having a party as soon as it's done!!!! Thanks for checkin it all out.
