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.
