Just in case North Korea reduces us to a pile of rubble, here's five minutes of street riding that might make it all worth it.
Digging deep in the dirt, here we have a vid featuring Dustin Mata AKA Dirt and Ryan Lewis AKA Redwerm. Worms and Dirt. The opening smith grind clip is out of hand, and Werm holds it down with a manual to kinker. Is there an emoticon for a birdcall? Budman filmed this, as it is also his birthday today! Out of respect, I will not post the infamous Budman puking picture.
Keeping in the theme of street riding, Chef Chachi cooked up this sick vid featuring all his homies and a big ass barspin by Victor Galindo at B-40 Middle School.
I'm hoping this will embed properly, but I'm pretty psyched on how this came out. Randy Budman and I have been filming for a while and we put this together. In the bio they wanted an abridged thanks, but don't think I forgot any of you loyal subscribers... so here is the original thank you shout outs. Feel special, because you all make me feel that warm oooey gooey inside ya feel?! yee!
Any thanks? Hella, almost like that one ODB song where he thanks the eskimoes, boats, submarines, etc. But mainly my parents, my girlfriend Janelle, my brother Tim for being my mentor in riding and doing all the scary stuff first (handrails, wallrides, 360's, big gaps, eating shit), Chris McMahon for putting this edit together and being a rad dude, the homies I ride out in the 831 with ie Anthony Quiroz, Murph Dawg, Jackson Allen, Mike Hernandez, Andrew Heath, Kurt Siever, James Carpenter, Kory Thomas, Evan, Dusty, Marcus, lil D Hernandez, B-Rad, Jordan Murdock and Crazy Chris holding down Salinas, the many others around the way that stay Doin' the most ie Tony Campos, Jake Honesto, Cisco, Lydon George, Big Joey Cobbs, Jarrod Allen, Steve O, Johnny Wu, Vic from EPA, Caveman and the 4 oh Haters, Frisco Bay Cats, East Bay all stars, 707 Petaluma/Santa Rosa/North Bay connect OGs, and many more. Also shout outs to friends from school and throughout, relatives, extended family, SC trolls, kooks, lurkers, Eddie Money and annual free concerts at the Boardwalk, TronSteez, Che Holts, Roll Mexican, Pacific Ave Cycles for being the spot, Kelly Costello for pushing the limits of ornithology, Scummy Bears in Reno, and ESPN for hosting this video. If I forgot, dang my bad, I'll get you next round. Stay doin' the most and no bad days!
If you can't say OFY to this, then I think this is the wrong internet blogumentary station for you. Thanks to Budman for throwing this up there. and maybe throwing up too, that's always pretty tight to watch.
and also, saw this over on beermans site about Joey Chernoff
I’ll start off with the good news about Joey first: He won the School’s Out Jam last night. Now for the bad news: He’s been in the hospital in Fresno since last night, after breaking two vertebrae in his neck during the post-jam high jump contest. Thankfully, Danny Leahy and Kelly Costello are staying down there with him for the time being. Danny’s told me that Joey’s pretty out of it right now, and is strapped down until the doctors decide whether or not he needs surgery; also, he’s told me that Joey has been able to move his extremities, which is obviously a good sign. I’ll post updates as I get them, and you’ll be hearing about some sort of DawgAid-style event to help him out with his medical bills once he gets back home from Fresno. In the meantime, keep him in mind.
Let's start off with the bad news first, shall we?
This may be the only time where country clubbin will function as a credible news source, so here we go. For most of you who haven't heard, my brother was involved in a very serious bike accident last Friday which landed him in the ICU until about Wednesday. He managed to fracture his skull, collarbone, and already had a broken hand. To update everyone, he was just bumped out of the ICU and in his own room at SF General Hospital. For the most part, it looks like he will be doing alright, though I'm not sure when he'll be out of the hospital, let alone riding. Franchise BMX is accepting donations for Tim's medical bills at the Bicycle Film Festival Tommorrow if you feel inclined to help. Otherwise, let's set aside some of our troubles, be grateful for what we have, and hope we can get this son of a bitch hang five around town again.
I also cracked my LAF at the head tube (pictures might surface later), but hopefully empire will come through with the $200 2nd Wave frame i just ordered. Based on limited stock always worries me, especially from personal experience at my own place of work.
Anyways, two videos already laced to the inter-web, but are relevant to the extended country clubbin family. Two of my favorite people to ride with, Big Joey Caaaabbs and Caveman. Let's hope the embed codes work for my dumb ass. And honestly Beerman, for a kid who wears a Pantera shirt everyday of his life, you really think Aerosmith is the way to go? That piece of shit will be playing free shows at the boardwalk in no less than 3 years. Saddle up cowboys from hell.
Finally, Eddie Money is NEXT weekend, July 24th, not today. Today is Starship with Mickey Thomas or something. Keep in mind VH1 voted Starship the most annoying 1 hit 1der band or most annoying band. So if you suck and like going to shows at the boardwalk, today is your day. It'll be Shakin next weekend.
