OneLoveJam2017 ReUp

So I finally get a chance to talk about what went on almost a few weeks back now, its amazing how long it takes you to get back into the swing to thing after having such a surreal trip of the first year. Ok so the 7th annual OneLoveJam was of course on MLK weekend was extra special, first it was my big 43 day on this earth and second my homie fat joe bka halfpacker man, bka jody mf' temple made his first appearance on Southern California soil.
This year I decided to meet the homies down south so I booked a flight with Virgin which I gotta tell ya they are the most modern version of flight I'm down for this airline service. Any way it was on it's 2nd week of rain and my ray of hope was leaving Tuesday as the sky starts to fall, I mean so much that they had to switch pilots because the due was too green to fly out of the bay with the high winds and no coverage, yeah you couldn't even see the planes on the tarmac at one point. I finally made it after a very long 1 hour flight...lol the homie Ahmed came thru and we went to Venice to chill and was taxi over to anther homie place where I would be staying till the Air BNB was open on Friday. Wed morning I put the old girl together and snapped my new half link, luckily there was a shop near by but I wouldn't recommend it to anybody, what shop owner would sell you a link that wasn't the same thickness?? Any way I bought his overpriced non hollow pin half link chain and went down to LBC to meet up with young shredder Bene. The next day was rain, I mean like NorCal rain so I took the Metro up to Hollyhood to meet B Carter, Jody, and the Duke.
Friday was the big pre jam, I was stoked to be there this year, since I missed the last one. Lots of dude rode hard all day long, as the sun set, I headed down to Newport Beach to meet up with the Athens Fam, it's been a min since we all except Dane have been under the same roof. Im afraid Andrew's girl thought the stories he told were alternative facts.

Saturday was the day, OMG so many people where at the spot hella early, which is fine but man once everybody gets there its hard to find a good place to session, but hey its a jam theres no need to be a hermit. I feel like the fakie manny is the new steamroller, or maybe freecoasters are at the peak of perfection, I shall study this more. Then of course the epic fat sack give away, s/o to all the sponsors...I don't think any contest last year stateside even gives as much swag to the contestants and this is just a jam.  Once again THANK YOU sponsors, without you this would not be one of the first big event of the year. And thank you to all the supporters coming out every year!

Well I can tell you more, but heres some pictures and an edit, hope to see y'all next year same bat channel same bat time!
Peace

My Knee Infection: A Love Story

He's so dialed and smooth like butter not no parkay strictly butter baby

HERESY 3/5

If Dane makes another Same Thing Daily Video he needs to add this lil homie Matthieu to next next roster, at this rate he would have the current Hersey Team on all his volumes.
These dudes never disappoint, editing dope, music is not my styles but i get down to OST for your crew and keeping the theme tight, riding always unbelievable. I'm amazed how these dudes have the hardest tricks in flat and able to ride contest arenas and still drop bombs. All right I'm gonna stop talking and check out 3/5.

DESCEND / DISMEMBER

Word I'm not into the bendy style frames, but when I saw the Heresy frame it was in my eye function and style. Plus check out Alexis Instagram he is killin' it, riding various styles, street, park, and flat. A very all around frame.
Check out the new 4 piece bars, and new zero rake fork and a a zero rake fork that can be switched on the fly to 15mm. I have moved on to the larger 4's myself so I'm in that faze were I wanna try different geo's. The Deco's are nice, I like how they taper down although they do look like Haro Forklifters, function before fashion. Alright I gotta get ready for my last week of doubles. My riding and more blogging!

Brad Simms: Ethiopian Version

I need to get this guy on here for an interview, Brad passport stamps have to be all over his photo by now. In this latest adventures he's in the mother land, and he is making use of the land and culture.
Im stoked on this hope you are too.

BMX AF

Pat Fisher has got to be the nicest guy in BMX. He stopped through town on his impromptu road trip, it sounds like I may need to pay a visit to Santa Cruz, he spoked very highly of the scene so I will take his word on that. We had a very chill evening and we watched front brake wizard Eben Fischer, where is he?!? What happened to the front brake revolution back in 2012? I think the Tech as Fuck kids are still around, I'll try to find some of there edits soon, but they like brakeless, not the same.
I had to work in the morning so instead of a flat sesh we headed to the Piner Skatepark. It has to be the most slickest park ever. Straight lines and nerves of steel, any false moves you will feel like the chump who never rode park. It's still sick like no coping, just old school snake run.

Anyway this whole weekend seemed like I was showing the homies to the park or the trails, which was fine change is good and I do like BMX, plus how often in the 707 you hear a flatlander, dirt jumper, street rider, and tranny queen chilling, and talking about BMX. Rare moment I cherish out here in the boondocks. It was a dope weekend, ok enough talk, I think its cool enough to go for an after work session.

Forty + :: Claude Hickman: Flatland 2016

Claude Hickman just had a birthday and to celebrate it he threw down some links. Dude is one of few Jedi's who have mastered the DarkSide style, and it shows with lots of variations from front to back and back to front, smooth like butter.
Brush WTF?? You got books on Amazon and you use rubber bands and a water bottle, is that bottle being reused and exposed to the sun?? Hey go out and buy a GorillaPod they are amazing.
Peace

@chickenbarspinsquad

Im not sure if this is a similar account like @rodeopeanut or @flatlandrodeopeanut but I am so down for chicken barspins or aka as my homie Bo calls them Japanese barspin. It took me a while to get them fakie, but with the help of owner and operator of 430 visit to the bay a few years back, he blessed me with the ninja skills, and been tossing them since...scratch that, I got these new school wide bars and scared to toss them. Either way I pretty sure it was a guy riding flat who spun some raditude after his pogo run. Anyway the homie Fat Joe made it and a few other flatland guys, I think Chad is in the mix and French guy Mathias, go check out the account and see if you can make #squad goals.

What ? Throw with no hands 🍗 @jodytemplebmx #chikenbarspin #pullupbarspin
