This pic is just ridiculous,I must have looked at this pick for ten minutes straight. Not only is it my favorite trick that i have yet to ever pull, But Henny does it hands down the best in BMX, ANYWHERE. Brings back some good memories of the 500,000 or so a night that were pullled on the reg. Saw this pic and a few others on FBM. Take a gander over there it's always a good read.
The last artifact Lino lists is the Ember video, The first event I ever had at DG was the Ember video premier. Nothing has come close to that event yet, it was rediculously fun and such a huge and awesome crowd of bmxers and friends from everywhere were here to take part. Here, eight years later, every event we have is still awesome, but I challenge myself to try and top Linos' Ember premier. Seriously unforgettable good times.
If i go back about 16 years.... to the Southbridge skate park days, back when it first opened, Lino and John D., and a few more guys not riding now were the usual everyday guys i rode with. I went to the Ol southbridge park three or four times a week and every now and then across the street to Linos spine to ride for a bit. Anyway, way too many good memories and such a good crew to ride/hang out with. I have a few Lino G. archive items of my own. One Ember VHS tape, One Ember Tee, One Ember video premier ticket, One Mass Transit tee, a bunch of MT stickers, the first animal poster with small picks of each rider, a post card, I'm sure there is more.... I have a few John D. things, a few Webster jake items(thanks to jake for the first DG sticker on a bike getting into ridebmx or I guess to Lino for taking the pick) and a ton of Eric Hennessey stuff too, I don't know why i hold onto this stuff, but i know everytime I open the book, It makes me think of way too many good times...

Everyone needs to give a huge thanks to a couple of rad little guys, Joe and Anthony along with some help from few others spent the last few days chipping ice and shoveling snow out of the dayville park. Today it was dry and full of shredders for the first time this year!!! Big ups to Joe and Anthony for their efforts! Mark was out in the 33 degree weather showing his new winter tricks.... The Wizard was at the park for a long while, mostly cause he drove his truck through a huge snow pile and only made it halfway through. The DG rig showed up and pulled him out though!
Jordos B-day was the other day, we all chipped in and got him a tattoo appointment, Mark got him a black man B-day kit complete with xxxl shirt,KFC,Watermelon seeds,crowbar, and grape drink. We LOVE Jordan!!!! It's not my Bday but someone special bought me this sweeet ass RC car. The thing is sick!!! pumped!!

Matt Burns and Matt Barcus have been my friends since before there was a DG. They both have been a part of this place from the beggining and are in many of my best memories here. One drunkin night last weekend, they called in the shop at 2:30am and left me a little message letting me know they feel the same about me. Here is that message. Thanks guys, can't thank you enough really....hahaha.
