@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

The Steven Show Ep. 8 - The Sonoma Bike Expo

Aileen  shared this really funny edit from a local web episode of last weekend's Sonoma County Bike Expo. Check out the sick trick going down on his road bike and shopping cart. Also check out this local news coverage of the event. OneLoveBmx gets a lil shout out. Peace.

10 Questions - Jody Temple

Hmm how should I start this one.  Jody Temple aka Fat Joe aka Joe Ski Love aka Q-Change is probably no...he is the hardest of hardcore riders left in the states.  I meet JT around 2000, there was a BS contest in ATL and a big jam sesh in Athens that weekend.  Let me say that weekend was like crazy, everybody was killing it, but it was JT who I was watching, I was so blown away by his switches.  By 02 I finally made my move to Athens Ga, by that time JT was killing it.  I often speak of him as my white twin brother from another mother, his born day is one day after mine, both of our mothers are school teachers, and our love for Jamesons, and large breast.
I  don't want to bore you with my intimate tales of one of my homies, cuz I might start tearing, miss that dude.  So lets get this ish started.

4/20Jam Edit

Well we could not ask for a better day.  The 4/20Jam went down last weekend.  Plenty of sun and fun.  Its a good thing those SoCal dudes didnt show up.  All the prizes were split up to everyone who came out.  We call that up here CaliLove.  Best trick went to OSG, second place went to Sparker.  I love NorCal, for a couple of reasons. One, Everybody loves to get together for beers, bikes, and BBQ.  Two It's NorCal, and if you never been up here then you will never know.
Well here's the edit.  Enjoy!

Too Small Bikes 3 Premier -March8th- NorCal

Yep you see it, we are apart of a world wide premier.  I contacted Jussi and Julius to see if we can hold our own premier.  Since it's on a Friday, anyone who comes out should stay and ride on Saturday.  If no one in the Bay can make it on Friday, then come out on Saturday to ride, and we will show it again.
We will be showing the movie premier at Mike's crib up here in Santa Rosa.  If you have any questions, hit me up on FB or call me.
Be warned though, Vegas Mike is firing up the BBQ, and his BBQ technique is unstoppable!
See you March 8th!

Czarface

I can't even tell you how long I've been waiting for this.  This new super group isn't new to the game.  Inspectah Deck, Esoteric and 7L joins together to form Czarface.  While most will scratch their heads at the 90's references, some will appreciate flow like this.  Go out and cop this shit.  Here's the first single off the album "Air'em Out"

Essence

Rain is on the way.  So I uploaded this for anyone sitting at home today.
Essence was released around 2002 I think.  I believe Erin was still living on my couch at the time when this was being filmed.  Staring James Kennedy, Anthony Herbano, Erin Donato, Gabe Kadmiri, Mikey Gaidos, Terry Adams, and Matt Wilhelm.  Theres also a sick mix section that you would not wanna miss.  Filmed and edited by Neon Media!

Peace.

Happy Born Day

10 Questions - Dane Beardsley

boost in the garden

I sat down with Dane Beardsley last weekend at OneLoveJam2013 and told him I got 10 questions for him.  Just check out what's good with Dane on the fine art of bartending and stock tips.

1. Name, age, location, and sponsor?

 Dane, 31, Georgia, DK Bicycles, The Freestyle  Connection, and SameThingDaily


2. Trails, Street or Park?

     I'm from the streets.

3.  Favorite destination?

     Anywhere.

4. Hot sauce on everything?

    Not on my ice cream.

5. Kale or spinach?

     Spinach

6.  What company should I buy stocks in?

 Right now I'm selling, but you might want to look into SLV.  Look for a high dividend (yield %)     stock if your looking to buy right now cause the market is kind of high.  Don't expect instant profits and try and avoid owning a stock for less then one year.

7. What vegetable grows the best in your garden?

Greens such as kale and lettuces grow good in the spring. Tomatoes grow ok in the summer.

8. How do you make a margarita?

Fill a short glass with ice then add a 3 count of tequila and a 2 count of triple sec. Next squeeze some fresh lime juice and add simple syrup until the glass is full. Mix everything together or shake if possible. Or go to a Mexican restaurant.

9. You and the Duke are doing shows where?

Maybe the Alaskan bush in February, but no official word yet.  Hope it works out.

ZumbiJam2012 went down yesterday afternoon.  With rain in the forecast, most rider decided to stay home, a few other came out for that little window of time we had before the showers came back.  After the session we headed back to the NorCal flat house for brews, blunts and BBQ. 
Thanks to everyone who came out, and we will see you guys at OneLoveJam2013.

USA Road Trip by Dane Beardsley

I was kinda shock to see this, when Dane was in town a few months back he got some clips of the crew, now in my head I was thinking this footage probably wouldn't see the light of day for at least another few months.  I guess I was wrong, this is awesome!  I am really stoked on seeing trail legend Adam Baker, and also Ted Van Orman, and Cale murder the trails.
More riders should get away from there monitors, and travel more, and not just to contest or jams, just get out and travel to see the other scenes, states, countries, people and culture.  Every BMX scene has  these elements.  Try it out, you may like what you see.
