Mutha f*ckin FBM!!!!


Hennessey is out ridin around the country again for the winter. Seriously the most fun dude to ride with ever! I stole this photo from one of my daily site checks, Click here for FBM greatness This tree ride is just epic, i was instantly excited when I saw it. There is a pic of Erik Holladay, another FBM dude, shreddin the tree that is equally sick, but something about seeing Henny do shit just makes me happy. I guess it might be the 8 years of hanging out/living together everyday.... Either way, had to repost it here. Just sick. There are a bunch more photos HERE on LeastMost as well. Also a great stop on the daily cyber tour. Enjoy!!!

"Got back to school last week and there was a good 6 inches of snow on the ground. i was supposed to go to rye airfield to ride with some friends up here this past Saturday but it snowed about another 4 inches when we were planning on going,which stopped us.so I've been trapped inside doing absolutely nothing for the past week..yeah new hampshire!!.be home in a few weeks to ride and chill hopefully!!!"

Sam is an awesome friend and super guy to ride with. Always reppin the shop which is awesome for me to see. Pysched to hang anytime.

Marks car shit the bed or bought a farm, or .... it's broke. He and Justin Kozytown have been buss'n it to the park to skate. Public transportation is sweeeet. Jordan and Blaymen and I will taking it in NYC Monday!!!

Rad times.




From frank: "Last Thursday Me, Miller Joe, Lizard Wizard, and Nick went to Rad and had a blast! Nick and Wizard were blasting the box jump and killing it like usual! I pulled my first lucky stall at somewhere other than Dayville, and i was PUMPED! Towards the end of the night us 3 bikers played a game of BIKE and of coarse i was the first one out but it was fun! Thankfully Joe got a Grind he was trying all night right before we left! Joe forgot to send me the pics of himself, go figure!"

Kozy in NC!!!



What a better start off a month long trip North Carolina then with 3 inches of snow last night! Had to drive in the snow covered roads super early this morning to catch my flight at 7:15. This was my first time on a plane and im not gonna lie. I can't wait for my next one, I'm hooked on it now. It was one of the coolest feelings ever! As soon as I landed in Raleigh, I was greeted by Mark "the Nube" and Heidi. Everyone who knows me knows what my favorite thing about NC is, so I proceeded to make my first stop, literally minutes after getting picked up, at the one and only BOJANGLES! Words can't describe how happy I am to be eating at Dan's favorite food establishment and in this warm weather. However, When i got to the house Mark was like "hey check this out" and it turns out his transmission is all screwed up and making tons of weird sounds. So me and mark will be traveling by busses till we figure out his car situation. To all my friends up in CT! I'll see you soon!

MF'N RAYS!!!!!



Took another trip out to Ohio to Rays Mtn bike park. What can I say, it is the best place to ride. It is endless fun, well at least until you can't pump your legs over jumps because they feel like jello. Either way, we will be making another trip in Feb. This time around I took Sam Jones, Little Chris, and of course Dan. I don't think i could road trip without him, and def. not to Rays without Dan, I think this was our 5th trip.


The drive was horrible, rain turned to snow and it stayed that way for 3/4's of the drive.


Rest stop to get gas(6 times) Snow and salt filled bikes but it was having any effect on out excitement to ride!!!


This was the same smile on Chris' face for like the entire time inside Rays, even in mid flight. Good times.


Dan was getting some air, even doin some stunts, pumped on these t-downs!


I was so tired from driven in a blizzard, but I blasted this wall ride which was weird to get to from the other side. I refuse to cheat and pedal in a skatepark, pump those ramps kids.


Sam Jones was killing it, lots of stuff join down and he didn't even hang out in the grind box room for the hole time!!!!


Final stop on the way home ( well one of em) The fireworks /ninja store!!!! Had to stop and take this pic for Henny. I know he loves this place!!!!

Raleigh update from mark T!!!


Mark has been in Raliegh shreddin the park everyday. He has been gettin a bunch of sweet photos. Here's what he had to say: "Today's session started at 11 with like me and five other older dudes then by 1 it was like 20 guys skating. It was so sick, saw frontside and backside inverts and airs. Dudes were so sick they invited me to their place Tuesday night to skate their ramps. I guess they got like a bowl with a clam shell pocket in it and a smaller mini ramp."
I'll be updating with Marks stories atleast once a week.
