This is all of your beeswax

Just a reminder that the bees will be swarming out in San Francisco for their second annual jam at the clocktower. Wish I could attend, but I will be in LA doing some work. Check below to see what the rest of the hive has been up to over the summer!


And this was too rad not to post. The uprail at 1:11, an uprail to can-can x-up, and the hard 3 over the rail were among some of my favorites. I think the "B" in BMX for this guy stands for Bondage.

Spot On!

With the aid of some lil Mikey ledge lube, here are some pics of some spots that are now pretty rad because they have been stung by the bee. More to come. As for SC high, I thought the place was a goner. But looks like the construction might be an actual improvement, as the caution tape obstacle course proved to be a quite a good session.
And while we're on spots, the Fun Spot in Santa Cruz needs some help. I've scheduled a meeting with parks supervisor Jim Gibbons, to discuss repairs, grievances, and improvements for the park. We are meeting Thursday at noon at the Fun Spot, so come support if you can make it. My main concern is that the repairs being done to the park are mere cosmetics, while the underlying problems are, well, underlying; the inner structures are melted, which is making it easier for holes to form in the facing. Other ideas and input are more than welcome. Overall, adding more spots to Santa Cruz is awesome!

Wednesday Night Rides

If you're up in the east bay, try to link up with the LMB dudes for some weekly group shredding on Wednesday. In their honor, here are some of the vids they've put out within the last week. Hustlin'!

Abraham Link'in

Good news! The Lil Mikey Beeswax website/store just got a facelift, so CLICK HERE to get more info on the birds and the bees your parents DIDN'T tell you about.

Also, it's that time of year again, and the Boardwalk summer line up has been dropped! Paired with a new roller coaster, Friday nights at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk are bound to be a blast. Beware of the Kook Skywalker's and Barn Solo's though. Check out the amazing line-up here. So much for riding on Saturdays, unless we get the party going at the 6:30 shows.

Lil Mikey Monday

Nothing says Monday like getting back to your daily grind. Improve your grind with some Lil Mikey's! Two new vids in one week, pretty impressive; like the pedal grind thing Ronnie Grant does in the second vid at 1:00! Somebody's gonna be hitting Poet's Park soon. Have a great Monday peeps!

Dangerous Grinds

Dangerous Minds was a letdown of a movie, although it did put Coolio on the map. And it also featured the Giant Dipper. In homage, I give you "Dangerous Grinds." Below are some behind the scenes pics and perspectives from Greg Micklas and Dusty. Thanks guys!

Big Mikey Edits

I've been anxiously awaiting part 2 and 3 of the LMB Come Together Series, and by God I wasn't disappointed. Good vibe with some real deal bangers. Highlights for me were Murdock street lines, D-block's ridiculous rail ride to bar at Keezer Stadium, and Casey doing some crazy rocket shits. Oh yeah, Dr. Tymyk has some sweet street clips in there as well. A great way to start the year, I'm looking forward to working with the boys over there and keeping things slick and buttery worldwide.

Master BayteGame

Everybody is getting sick in this post. I for one am sick with a cold, which gives me ample time to find and post videos of your local homies. The Bay is on fire in this one, from the likes of Will Grahn, Lil Mikey, Nick Schwarzenbach and co., and the North 5's. That doesn't mean we're slacking down in the 831 though. I've got some goodies to post of some of your homegrown favorites tomorrow.

Hella Heads to Shred

The Rebel Run Jam was a success, and my calves are still killing me from all that riding. Big thanks to Dave for putting this on, hopefully we'll see some footage of Silent Mike killing it at the jam soon. For some reason, the day reminded me of this trailer below.

Also, check the lil mikey edit from a few weeks ago. Holla!

Rebirth of Slick...ledges that is

Made this quick edit for the LMB boys. They should be re-vamping their website soon, so check them out when you're not out on your grind. It's good to be back in Santa Cruz.

Keep it Slick

Got a video of the LMB boys down in SoCal heckling the world. Jordan and Crazy Chris are to be seen, as well as the rest of the bay cats. The trip looked fun, I've linked them up to the side of the blog too in case anyone wants more info. I'm a fan of the jams and trips these dudes have been doing, and I'm happy to say Santa Cruz will be sliding a lot smoother in the near future. Holla!

Footage Downpour

It's raining shred, hallelujah it's raining shred!



Feeling cold? Hutch is out there bringing the heat, especially towards the end of this one. Conquered that set up!

Slangin' bricks in Salinas... bricks of beeswax that is. Congrats to Crazy Chris pulling the team manager reigns, keeping things slick and buttery in the 831!



Damn George, throwing some Dave Osato moves.
