Day 2 comes to an end......

Day one was sweet. I guess the way it is gonna go on this trip is slowwwwwwww. We left late from the shop as soon as Dan showed up. Went to Brooklyn NY for the Redbull BMX jam, it was cold and windy, but Buck Chocolate was in full effect right up to the back of the neck.

We left there and headed toward Florida. Stopped at 3am to sleep in a hotel parking lot. Wawa for gas in the morning of day 2 and then hit the highway. I wanted to stop at Recycles to visit Even V. on our way through Richmond. We got breakfast waiting for the shop to open and then rode some street.

Dropped the skaters off downtown and went to the shop. Soon as we arrived we got the call that Marcy was knocked out and broke his collarbone.

Back downtown and to the hospital to drop them off and then I went to meet the Bikers. While Marcy was in the ER I enjoyed some sweet pizza with the guys and took part in Zombie walk. There were hundreds of Zombies walkin the streets, it was awesome!!!
Picked up Mark who was on some good stuff and ready to stay the whole trip. We went to Recycles for the rest of the day and then off to a few bars.

We watched Ruel Worms band and then headed to a block party.

Now at Evans house ready for sleep and a long day of driving to Casselberry tommorow. I'll post more when it happens!!!! Wish us luck!!!!

Today is the day!!!!


Alrighty then, Last night was a huge success. 20 carved pumpkins and 40 people made for a fun night. Check out the slideshow above, just don't mind the music, i forgot to change it. Lots of stuff I missed over the past days while showing old roadtrip photos so here are some of the photos from this weeks goings on here at DG.

Leo is fitting right in this holloween season!!

The DG bowl is not for shredin anymore, it's full of roadtrip gasfund candy!!!!

This is the most crazy October ever, I have built 29 custom wheels this month!!! 29!!, and i have 4 to build as soon as get back already. I don't know what to say except i have been building wheels for atleast 4 hours every day i was open this month. Awesomeness!!!!!

I helped Burns make a sweeet beach cruiser for his wife.

This thing is bad ass, we rode our cruisers to the bank as soon as we were done!!

Shrews fest, "What time is it?? MILLER TIME!!!" Miller 540's for this kid.

I footjammed the tall long quarter before Taylor, making our footjam competition 2 to 1, This was his best sad face. Awesome.

I had a guy come in and buy the best of the best and this is what came out of it. Custom FBM worms frame with profile and Animal everything. I'm gonna do a more betterness post on this bike when i have a few, it is easily the sickest bike to ever come out the shop. I want it.

Lizard Wizard...


The Lizard Wizard, he's fast, he's quiet, and I'm sure you have seen his green and orange spotted bike bike scurrying around the park or trails in the woods a time or two. Shaun Fredrics' B-day is today, so if you see him hobbblin round, give him a shout. I asked Shaun to go on this years road trip with us to Florida on Holloween and he was pumped. A few hours later he was layed out on the ground with a broken knee cap and now unable to ride and go on the trip. I think i was more bummed than he was getting the news. So was Ethan and Taylor who both are without their favorite person to ride with for the winter. I'm sure Shaun is still more bummed then we are though. Well, Happy Bday Wizard, I'm sure your makin the best of it. Couch is open at the shop if you want to chill here again.

Can't make this shit up.

Dude calls me this morning and asks if i can fix his bent axle. "What kind of wheel you got bro?" "it came with on an S&M bike" He replies. "It's an Animal axle." I figuered it was like a Fit complete or somethin cause to the best of my knowledge S&M has not made complete bikes,and Animal does not make axles, maybe it was a build up but the guy didn't seem like he really was into it enough to have that type of bike. Anyway, I said "yeay, bring it in, I can prolly fix whatever you got." Just an hour later in walks a 28-30 year old guy holding the smallest little piece in his hand, "I called earlier, you think you can straighten this with some pliers or somethin, or just get me a new one." I kinda just stared at him in amazment for a second, then let out a little laugh and fixed his Flix Trix finger bike axle with a pair of needle nose and my vice. No charge brosef. haha ...Danielson, got to love it. Gives new meaning to full service BMX shop i guess, We do it all!!!!
