Beast Coast Vacation

Right after Jarrod and Sarah's wedding, Janelle and I headed to the east coast for about two weeks. Visited family, stayed on lake house, and went to New York for the first time. So here's some photographic and video evidence that I am not lying. Don't forget to check the posts below, as this is a pretty big cluster of updates.


Ducks right by our doorstep


This was the lakehouse we stayed at. Warm water and kayaking a few yards away from the front door


I have a problem with these credentials...


Not as much as I have a problem with iced tea giving you four eyes


Mister Best Ice Cream, home of the double Merlin's wizard sleeve


Where Andre the Giant dares.


I thought this MTA subway parody was awesome. Shredminders


Chicken and waffles in Harlem, at the famous Amy Ruth's.


Sick spot in Queens, thanks for the directions Cisco!



5Pointz is a famous graffiti spot in Queens. I think it might be closing down soon, but it was an awesome spot to chill and soak in the culture surrounding the area.


May the vacation be with you!






I don't know why I haven't seen this on TCU, but I'm a fan of New York street riding... and the pizza!

Muscle Melons

My girlfriend is an editing mastermind and hobo heartbreaker.



Also, congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Jarrod and Sarah Allen. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the happy couple, but in the theme of Janelle, here's this gem...

Boris Scoffone

In Mother Russia, bike rides you! Does anybody else get strangely nostalgic about Steve-o from this video? He may or may not have clips in Where's the Beach Bro, vol 2 if you're lucky.

Joe Rich Bike Check

I sent a pair of forks out to Joe for his sweet new ride, check it out, Im sure this thing will be properly inverted on some hip eventually.

no comment on my inability to match the fork legs to the crown. Austin trip this winter anyone?

another down

Kelly 'K-bone' Costello had his bike stolen out in the boonies of Indiana last night and is returning to Santa Cruz for the winter, round up the parts boys K-bone is trying to shred.

Where your helmet?

Little article on where i spend my days, I like this response to the article:

"So, basically, what you're saying is that you went to Santa Cruz for the weather and beaches, and then jotted off to Easton for a couple hours so you could write the whole vacation off as a work-related expense."

The Good, the Bad, and the Battered

San Diego shredder and all-around scumbag Anthony Ayala sending it, seen on Roll Mexican. Dude knows how to ride and party, while at the same time impressing your girlfriend with respectful manners.



In the words of former Governor of the State of California, "IT'S NOT A TUMAH!" Rolled my ankle the other day, so I've been trying to take it easy. Injuries are no fun during the summer, just ask Santa Cruz shredders Kenny Perry (broken leg), Dusty Samson (freshly torn ACL), Ryan Finn (I forgot, but he did get hurt again) and Jackson Allen (recovering from a pulled hamstring). I almost feel like we need a "Get Well Soon" page, but that would be a little fruity. Bear-force 1 was enough. Anyways, be careful out there, and keep shredding.

Burb Bangers

Two spots down memory lane in San Mateo from a short trip Murph and I embarked upon. Plus a sick ass Space Jam song.
