Since I have all kinds of footage that isn't on a badass camera or filmed very awesome, I think I'm just going to do like HAAWWT clips of the week or something of that nature. Just so it all gets used and people see it and hopefully enjoy it. WHATCHA THINK BOUT DAT!?! First clip goes to Raav Sanford at a spot we saw just driving down the road. He fired it out without hesitating about 5 times and I was stoked!
and here is some pictures of Raav from this weekend
Raav is pumped on his molotov cocktail! FIRE!!
rail hop at a sweet spot. michael allen may have also spun the bars over this same rail...hhhmmmmm? ok he did! bad picture but pretty good for a camera phone!
Ok so now you can just go to louisianabmx.com and it will take you to the blogspot after you click ENTER. Stoked on that. Here is what google images came up with when i searched stoked to put a picture up whatever
here is the video i posted last week but it is now embeded. (i think). might work, might not. still trying to figure this out. this is how all the videos will be posted from now on. WWWEEEEEEE!
This guy from Michigan is in Lafayette for a few weeks unless but he wants to get a job out here so I'm guessing he might be staying here. Anyway, his name is Justin Bayliss and we rode with him last night and he specializes in making street spines his bitch. He also lives two blocks from me, on the same street so that's cool. Here's a video of him.
Yo guys just figured I'd make a post about Ramp Age since I never do! haha! Ryan updated the blog at rampageramppark.com with some important rules. We have had some stuff go missing from behind the counter and tools that we let people barrow that never come back. It suck but some people suck and have sticky fingers.
In brighter news, we have all kinds of new parts, boards, and anything else you could want! The shop is only so big so keep in mind that we can order pretty much anything since we dont have too much room for stocking it all! here are some pictures of the shop.
So the weather lately has been unusually nice and i know we've all been loving the crap out of it! But I'm sure before to long it will be hotter than hell and riding will be second on my mind right after swimming. In the meantime, Colin has been letting me keep his sweet one chip camera(which films surprisingly well) and I have been filming as much as possible while riding is still enjoyable and the heat index isn't 115. Most of this stuff is not even a week old but none of it is over a month. Also, this is my first lil edit in Final Cut Pro so it might not be all that great. I'm still learning!
Check out this video i made of one of my many little brothers! we filmed it in about 20 minutes with 8 minutes left on the tape we had. not bad at all!
and Lil Broc is SHREDDING it in Joplin and qualified first in his class!!! so stoked for him! and if you want to check out whats going on at the jomopro, Fat is doing a good job of keeping up with the action on RIDEBMX.COM

I've been doing ALOT of research on film, editing, after effects and all that fun shit before i get a camera. I should be getting a vx2100 at the end of this month if all goes to plan! One of my favorite sites is SkatePerception.com. They have tons of information on all things related to filming and editing in the forums and lots of great skate videos to get ideas from. this is a video i found that could be helpful when filming but is just funny more than anything.
Van Homan has been my favorite rider pretty much since i started riding. My very first bike video was Road Fools 10 and Van probably stood out the most to me and i didnt know shit about BMX yet. SERIOUS APE! check out this video from the ORCHID SITE of the man himself.
must suck to carry around balls that size all day
oh and cody and I have seen this HUGE concrete hip off the interstate before and decided to go on a litle adventure to see if we could find it. it was alot fun and after 4 miles of riding, tresspassing, and 7 gator sightings, we found it and it was a treat! you could blash this thing as far as you want and it had a loooooooong runway.
Victor "I Fuck Bitches" Boutte told me to post this link of Mickey on EXPN and then I saw it on thecomeup... but anyway... what victor says goes dude. http://expn.go.com/expn/slideshow?id=3280896§ion=expn.bmx&count=3
