Goings on....

Spent the last week in St. Thomas.  HUGE thanks to my Mom dukes for that opportunity.   Also big thanks to Joe Miller for holdin down the shop while i was away.  Frank too!!
Back to the shoplife and no complaints there!!!  DG will be hosting another customer appreciation night at Shrewsburys Subliminal skatepark.  All you have to do is stop in, pick somethin up and get your ticket to ride with the crew!!!  This is just the first of many amazing things coming from DG in the next few months.  Looking forward to 2014, the shop has some amazing plans laid out that will come to light in the next month.   Hope to see alot of you this next two weeks so we can all ride together at the park!!!

Jam aftermath....

Took a week to clean it up, still have a bit of shinanigans to clean up but...... Since then, I have done a few cool things. One of them was last weekends Scituate Trails Jam at Codys trails.
Spent the next night with couple rad dudes from out town and rode Dayville with them Sunday morning. Here is a few pics from the weekend!

NEW ENGLAND JAM CHOWDA>>>

New England Jam Chowda has once again come and gone....
Apologies to the guys who check the site, the post will be coming once again!!
Crazy to me that it takes 5 months of phone calls and emails to do that thing and then come Oct. 6th, rain or shine(and it was all rain) everyone shows up, sets up, and smiles and laughs and just enjoys the company of all the dudes from all the shops and scenes.  Kinda crazy that I tried making the event bigger when we already had everything we needed.  I want to thanks anyone who came.  As I walked around all day I took in all you guys just hanging out having a good time in what most people would say was miserable weather.  It was awesome that all the shop booths were occupied by people from other shops.  It was hard to find the shop owners in their own booths and that is the whole reason this jam came to be.   Very proud to be a part of this scene.  The best, very best BMX scene in the country filled with the very best people who make it so good.  Thank you guys!!!  Amazing to have 700 people hanging out who get it.  

One last jam next year.   I was gonna say lets go big, but after this year, lets just go together.


Thanks to Joe Miller for the photo.

Joe Lussier at Baltic Skatepark Pt.2

Josh Foisey (youtube.com/foiscowski & vimeo.com/joshfoisey) and shop rider Joe Lussier teamed up again for their annual Baltic Skatepark Edit. Unlike last year's edit that only took 2 days to film, Pt. 2 was a grueling 4 month process, but proves to be well worth the time and effort from the CTFatKid and Joey Numbers. Check it out!

A sorry note for the few who view....

I appologize for the lack of effort in posting the goings on at the shop lately. I have been consumed with organizing the jam. Thats right, unless this is the first time you have heard anything from me, you have heard me talk about New England Jam Chowda. I have been spending most of my days for the past few months making phone calls, and answering emails, trying to get the 40 or so different shops and brands all together on one day, Sunday Oct. 6th 2014. I have been working with everyone to get info to promote their brands, shops, websites and so on. Getting people what they need to get obstacles built, ideas, plans, art, and so much more. Editing videos, getting shirts printed, signs made, renting dunk tanks, porto-potties, sound systems. Getting people places to camp, hotels, rides to and from the airports. Getting the companies we al buy from to give back and send us some prizes (I personally hate that part) I also hate putting my shop second to anything, but this jam is def. worth it in the end.
The best part of doing this event for me is the realization that that are so many people who feel the way I do about BMX. The out-pouring of support from everyone is just overwhelming at times. To see all the shops jump in right away, to have people contact me cause they want to support it, to have boxes and boxes of product sent here from all these amazing places, the list goes on and on...
I am truly psyched to have all my friends in one place at one time, to celebrate how awesome BMX is here in New England and all over really.

Soooo thats why the shop has taken a back seat for a bit. It is def. a struggle to take the time I spend getting people to come to the shop and put that aside to promote and make the Jam happen. Taking months of work for a Jam that lasts about 8 hours.... Bottom line is it is just soooooooo worth it. I hope everyone plans on coming to this amazing celebration of little kids bikes and friends and life as we know it. Save up your ten bucks now, I promise I have been doing everything in my abilities to make the Jam as good as I know how to make it.
Please check out the NEJC site It is updated everyday!!! See you all there!!!!

On the fence...

If you know me at all you know I love just about everything BMX.  This year after all the work of putting on New England Jam Chowda, and having that huge BMX festival here in town, I really wanted to go to Texas Toast, the biggest BMX event in the US the 3rd week in Oct.
    Austin is sooo amazing for BMX and I can't wait to get there again.  Thing is, my Momdukes booked this amazing trip to St. Thomas the same week.  I have been sitting on this fence for a few weeks, which one do I go to??  It seems like both would be ideal, but I can only be away from the store for 1 week, and both is not an option as it takes about two days to get from Austin to St. Thomas (from Boston to St. Thomas is under 4 hours-go figure) and it's just not worth the money to be in either place for only 2 days...
    Sooo after many days I have finally jumped the fence and bought my plane tickets last night!!   Super psyched to see NORA cup, a T-1 party, and the whos who of BMX will be in Austin, while I am sitting on the beach with my Mom dukes, uncle Bob, and AMC.  Bottom line comes down to spending time with the people you love while you can. Looking forward to an amazing time away from bikes for a few days...  Thanks for opportunity Ma!!!!
