"I know a man who wears a $600 pair of shoes and carries two guns with him at all times; one for starting trouble, and one for ending trouble." - Vic the Most
Nobody is perfect, and that's okay. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview with Taj, putting into perspective one of the rawest and raddest bike riders to pedal a BMX. Sometimes we all need a reminder to plot our own course and keep things pure. If we didn't listen to our gut, we'd probably shit our pants... a lot. And with that, check this link from a purely BMX'd out session I had with Jackson and Guy. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am thankful for all the kooks I've met and had the privilege to shred with. Including this guy below, who doesn't even celebrate Thanksgiving.
Well boys, it's quarter to 1am, and I'm feeling good. Had roughly a 12 hour work day, and low and behold, there's one warm PBR from Mike's birthday sitting at the bottom of my stairwell. A wonderful way to cap off the night. You'd think it wouldn't get much better than that, but then the online content started to flow. No, it wasn't the Nike Batalla BCN. It was them boys of mine getting me hyped with the shit below. So hyped that I might even try to find that left over Jim Beam. Or not, cuz tomorrow was meant for riding! To close things off in a very weird way, I am grateful to be a part of the BMX universe!
Mike holidays are my favorite holidays. From his wedding, bachelor party, birthday parties, and most recently his 30th bday party, it's pretty evident the man knows how to fucking party. He's like the working man's Santa Claus or something. I'm pretty sure I drank 30 beers in his honor that night, as I'm pretty sure I've done that for all of his special occasions, so my memory is a little bit fuzzy. But Jackson is a a great journalist, so we'll let him and the Least Most get you stoked on this legendary Level 3 Trailblazer. http://leastmost.com/features/dirty-thirty/
Colburg pulling spots out of his ass... but can he pick up a beer with that hinder?
Plus if you see Cubby today, wish him a happy birthday.
Jackson wrote a far better summary of our skatepark trip than just a picture of a rusty superman. Check out the Least Most for the prose. Until next time, but check the sickness at the door (but always bring the "illness"). And below you'll find a video of Victor Galindo, a very talented little shit from the area we visited. Congrats young homie! My only complaint is that it was missing a certain trick executed off a certain roof at a certain school in Santa Cruz.
The Least Most continues the beers in El Rancho with a nice photo gallery that Murph Lion snapped over the course of the year. Perhaps the rumors circulating that Earth will face eminent destruction caused so many people I know to get rad this particular year, but either way, 2012 was pretty damn good by God. With that said, admire this picture of Dusty, watch the video again, and check the Kurt Siever bonus section from "Another Year in El Rancho." Wait, that's Shaun Hadlington. Either way, it's a nod to that honorable Santa Cruz man, Kurt Siever, my favorite tailwhip monkey, the secret weapon of the Country Clubbin' arsenal, and star of the 1995 techno-thriller "Hackers."
Of course the Santa Cruz boys got a sneak peak of this on Saturday, but here's a project that Mike and Jackson have been working on via The Least Most. With more tabletops than a high school cafeteria and whirlwind speed that will surely knock your reservoir tip beanie straight off, this edit came out rad. A true legend has left his mark upon Santa Cruz. Hell yeah, Mike! Full interview and pictures HERE!!!
Here's part two of Jackson's Least Most interview, regarding his monumental contributions to the interwebs. If you haven't, buy a shirt. It's worth the money, feels great, and I recently found out that sweat stains form around Sasquatch's armpits after a hard day of shredding. It's super cute. Country Clubbin' loves Jackson Allen.
