I just saw this through Doug's blog, South Mississippi and The BMX Orchestra (that hasn't been updated in about 3 months, get on your s**t brah!). Its a list of bikes Taj Mihelich has had over the years...pretty interesting.
- The Darkness
PS- i've got a little injury action going on (hairline wrist fracture), so i'll probably be doing this for the next couple of weeks instead of studying...
Broc and Kyle teamed up to make this happen. Broc calls it a handjob. real funny Broc, what are you 15?!?!? oh yeah....
and you know you've made it big time time when sponsorship shit from Monster weighs 4 times as much as you do. This was being unloaded as Broc got off of school and all his friends saw it. he is probably going to have 7 girlfriends after this gets around school tomorrow. hell yeah brother.
A few months ago i posted a Thomas BIKE CHECK of his old shitty bike. well, he changed a few things, cut a shield into the headtube, and gave it a new coat of paint and it looks sweet!
Thomas has also had alot more man-on-man time lately so he's been riding his BMX more and it definitely shows! here are 2 pics of some shit he nutted up and did!
jump from the bank to the left, over both gaps and bank in the middle to land in the bank all the way to the right! at least 12 feet id guess.
and he fired down this handrail with EEEZZZZZZZZZZZ.
ps. that unicycle jump is totally photoshopped. there is no way in hell you could even pedal fast enough to even get to the top of the quarter!
My brother told me about an old Las Vegas video that was on youtube and i was really happy about that. mostly cause it was from the dudes that i looked up to when i first started riding and wanted to be friends with, but also because it just brought back old memories. i guess this video is kinda like my Chronicles since is wasnt really around for all that or knew any of the people in it! heres are parts from the people i really wanted to ride like 5 years ago!!
I kind of wtf'd when I saw this... There was this big roll in and a quarter and Spinner did a tailwhip to tailtap on the quarter and a hop whip and hop 360... Then Fallon tried to bunny hop, haha. Here are some pictures of the tv with my phone. :)
Oh yeah, this really happening. DA KRONIC has made its way online after 4 years of being to good for the web! BMX finally caught up to us here in louisiana so i guess its ok to put it on the web. Enjoy full sections from JON ROGERS!!! BROCK GOMEZ!!! FAT TONY!!! AND SOMEOTHER DUDE I FORGOT HIS NAME!! and other sections too. ENjoy this epic video.. digitally remastered:)
I guess since dirty timmy is all broke-off from the All Night Ride, he finally got down to some editing and put together this edit for his boys at Rebel Bike Co. Get well soon, Not-Clean Timmy!
This past Saturday was the 2nd annual?? All Night Ride In NOLA and went off without a hitch... Kind of! Nonetheless, it was alot of fun and it was great doing something different with everyone there. The main highlight for me was seeing all the new up and comers come out and shred with the seasoned locals. NOLAs scene is getting bigger and better and im stoked to see what it use to be, and what its like now. Here are some highlifes, i means hightlights and random things i can remember about the night with some pics:
WE met up in the parking lot of wal-mart and rode that for an hour while everyone showed up... the riders incuded: Myself, Dirty Timmy, clean timmy, dirtys woman aka the photographer for the night, nigga ron, brock gomez, carlos, criminal jon, kyle, BR kyle, weeber, GUSIDILLA, Landon, Corey, Thomas "sailboat" walker, Caleb, porkchop, CRIMINAL, westbank josh, Sheldon, Dan the milk man, willie and jojo aka (team backflip) and i think thats it. sorry if i forgot you!
we got kicked out of the ferry ledges before we got to ride em.. BUMMER!
I bruised my heel and rolled my ankle at the wall ride and crim icepicked it!
Brock was wallriding it both ways which is insane cause its very steep!
Carlos did gap to wallride the bank to gap 180 out.
BR kyle killed it with 180s over rails, 360 tire grabs down sets. and said two word the whole time.. silent shredder!
where were all the seasoned loclas?? (rob, g-rad, neil??)
Dirty timmy did some crazy 360 scorpion face slide and foot breaker down a stair set... he went home triumphantly
i saw weeber 180 a stair set on a 24 which is crazy cause those things look really hard to ride.
gus was riding a jersey barrier like it was a quarter pipe and killed it and then killed his chain
Sheldon died twice hopping up curbs cause he cant see.. he was bruised and battered but shredded even after all bloody
kyle died running from security cop i think and ate shit real bad... looked like he ate spaghetti with no hands!
CHECK SOME PICTURES HERE all in all it was a great time, even though we didnt ride ALOT of stuff, 4 people got hurt and i hope we can do it again soon! peace!
Everyone is meeting up in the parking lot of Wal-Mart downtown at 11 and is going to shred the streets until the wee hours of the morning. I know alot of folks are going so it should be pretty sweet. The more the merrier so come join for the all night street sesshhhhh!
heres a few picture from the past few days. Books on Wheels, which is about the sweetest freakin project I've ever seen, came in for a couple days. They travel around in a enormous blue school bus and give out free books and do free bicycle repair for kids. Steve Crandall and his group of friends all do it and the kids all seemed really stoked to be getting their whips hooked up.
here is the bus that is filled with bike parts and books that they travel in. They also have a short bus with the license plate that says "awsum" and the bigger one's says "awsumr" get it?!?!
this is Wade. Wade was a one man jukebox the night before at the bar and knew alot of songs and pranks called Eddie Money. he was awesome. Unfortunately i didnt know any of the songs he was singing so i couldnt join in with the group but it was funny!
This is Crandall working on this stoked kids bike. This was also the first time i met him so i was kinda star struck and probably said some stupid stuff cause i was kinda nervous! he ruled though and even let us barrow his camera for 1/2 the day.
this is mickey marshall and cody miller aka destroyers of bmx bike riding. those 2 dudes killed it while they were down and i hope they want to get out of BR again soon and come ride some more. this is mickeys new prototype FBM btw;)
here is a little preview of 1 of the 50 crazy things mickey did these past two days. everyone should be seeing the video of it in the next week or so. INSANEEEEE
The only private skatepark in Budapest, Hungary closed down and here is a video of the last session. Danny didn't do anything. Just watch the end. Bazsi (Ba-Ji) is coming in August to do more 360 flairs to fakie to whip... oops? That box jump is HUGE btw.
Broc Let me know that he got 5th and is really stoked on it. if you watched the expert qualifying video on ridebmx.com, you know that 5th place in that class full of bad arses is really good. even better for a kid that turned 15 years old 2 weeks ago. Congrats to Broc for killing it. here are a few pics from the contest
tomorrow myself and c-miller are going to ride downtown if anyone wants to join. hit me up
