Under moonlight and lawn chairs

OK, so the power is back on in D-burg and I couldn't be more BUMMED?? Yeah, I was actually enjoying the quiet, hang out and sit with friends time I was having... Now it's back to busy media engrossed living once again. (here I am posting on the interweb in the first ten minutes of having power, hypocrite, obv) Anyway, all the shop crew was without the awesomeness of electricity for over two days and I thought I would get everyone together last night and use the grill to cook all our food before it goes bad. I had about 15 people over and Josh brought the generator and we pulled out the projection screen and celebrated our loss of power by watching "Me,Myself and Hurricane Irene" outside under moonlight and lawn chairs.... It was so sweeet of a time.

DG and FBM....

Crandal and Hennessey from FBM stopped by the shop Monday. Crandal was up here to hang with Henny and take some pics, and they stopped in on there way to a few local parks. There is a sweet post on FBM (click here). Make sure you click that shit!!!
For those of you who don't know, FBM is one of the first companies that started making good bikes at a time when the Pennacle Bmx bike just wouldn't cut it. At 35 I have seen alot in BMX, and I think it is sweet when a guy that is responsable for you guys ridin what you have today walks through the doors in this town and is stoked on the local scene. BMX is whatever you want it to be, but buying BMX parts is more than just getting a 35 dollar stem that is anodized in tomorrows hot color and has some new fangled no bolt system to save 1.65 ounces. Buy parts that work from companies that care about you having a good quality part. More on this soon.......









Here's a good one from a bad ass night with the Gypsies........

Sam Jones...

Sam Jones has been an everyday visitor to the shop all summer long. Not since Henny went pro town USA have I personally had a friend to ride with that was this much fun. Sam is always down for anything and has been a huge help here this summer. He will sesh some gnarly shit but also take it to the speed bump for hours... Sam is moving to Keene State college in NH on WED. So today we are having a farewell(for now) sesh with him, feel free to join in, i'm sure it will be fun.... Thanks Sam, for a great summer!!!!

Here's a little vid I saw on the book of faces this morning....

BF Awesome-ness

Brian Foster is one of my top five favorite riders, 15 years ago he was one of my top 5 and is still killing it!! I like that some of my fave riders don't ride anymore and they are still my favorite riders and not replaced by some new in your face kid putting out a web video every two days, makes me happy I am still into BMX and that I was into it when it was good. the awesome thing is, BF is still getting it done and his style of riding is what BMX is all about to me, check out these lines in Fits newest web video introducing the new BF stem.... sooooo good. Props to the Challenger stem reference, you younger kids just don't understand.... enjoy.

Foisey has been a busy bee, bumble bee ofcourse. In between tryin to bang 15 year olds, he has been editing this sweeet vid. Here's Jordos' summer edit.

Foisey puttin in work with some fine edits.....

Justin Koziol skates to have fun, but he does it with Worship skateboards and screams Dg the whole time he shreds, watch this 15 minutes of fame edit the fat kid Foisey put together of him..


Mark T. shreds..... He is ripping the new 35 dollar DG deck and prolly has 14 new tattoos since you last saw him yesterday, check out this summer footage edit that came together while eating a fullbag of Doritos and some 45 pizza rolls, wash it down with a 2 liter of MT. Dew and Foisey put out one fine edit.

Plainfield Skatepark officially opens....

Went to the ribbon cutting at Plainfield skatepark Friday. It was kool even though I ate shit twice in 5 minutes pretty hard and had to retire after a tacoed rear wheel.... sweeeeeet.

Chillin....

After the park sesh I took the Profile team up to by buddies cottage and we lake jumped and just chilled out for the night.... Sweet time and I want to Thank Matt Coplon and the rest of the crew for comin down and hangin here for a bit. If you ever needed a reason to like Profile other than the them having the best BMX parts ever, it could be the guys behind those parts and the team of awesome dudes reppin them....

Profile visits DG...

Profile rolled through DG wed. After a quick meet up at the shop we all headed to Dayville park to shred with the locals.....
Mulvbub with a sweet lookback...
Tony C. airin out of the ten...
Mike M. with some high flyin antics and this Fufunu from the 4ft to the rail...

DG Skatepark Fund worked!!!!

Finally we got somthin done!!! We raised a little over 600 bucks through a jam or two and a Bike we raffled off here at the shop. The shop payed for the bar that went in before the concrete was poured and a few hundred more to cover the rest of paying paprocki concretes' guys to do the finish work. Jeff gave us a super sweeet price, coming in at a few hundred less than expected since we did some of the labor and it was money raised by the kids and out of our own pockets.
Got to the park at 730 am to rip up the old asphalt...
DG rider Nick Prete was onhand to do some labor and keep the job rolling, this is truly an addition that is "ours" as everyone donated a few of their own dollars and the DG guys put in some hard labor to make it happen.
Truck showed up at 1 pm and it was time to pour....
The bump took shape quick and Paprockis crew did what they do best and made it flow nice and smooth.... Also took out the rail everyone wanted out... Thanks goes to anyone who donated to make this park somethin better than it already was.. Paprocki concrete for helping me afford to get it done, and Tom Dooley from park and rec and the Killingly town workers for getting me the OK, and the making it easier then it could have been.... keep it clean, shred it hard, I'm workin on getting the next part done already!!!
