fear and loathing at sema

the annual mancation to las vegas went down last week, and it was some serious fun. all the while the team attempted our best to keep it classy throughout the craziness that is las vegas. through all the fake boobs, personalities and people we checked out the sema show and although it was more scaled down than in past years, it was still fun as hell and even featured some cool bikes. check out the pics for evidence

the legendary ken block dc impreza was in attendance, as was x-games/ nitro circus main man, travis pastrana (who was alot bigger than i thought), real friendly and a super good dude

killer bike at the house of kolor booth. you can't tell from the pics but the whole thing was scotchbrighted, awesome

so dope it deserved 2 shots

all handformed aluminum cafe racer body

zonda, man, zonda



some cool RSD shit

not a big fan of the guy, but a slick jesse rooke bike

the legendary ariel atom.

easily, the best in show.


sick new ford focus. yeah its a bit boy racer, but still cool

the OG bigfoot truck! that little dude in front of him was about to get crushed

i love ya Las Vegas. until next year....

essential noise part deux

the hot snakes are in heavy rotation in my vehicle as of late, especially these two tracks; if credit is what matters i'll take credit, and automatic midnight. i just love how the hot snakes played fast, loud and unapologetic. yep, the show would probably last an hour tops, but it would be the best hour ever. I always wanted to play in a band like this, but my god, i would be out for a month after playing one track like the downstroke master Speedo.

and yeah Matt, i fully back you, Mario killed it on the skins

essential noise

some time ago i featured the beautiful noise of the hot snakes. now this band was made up of the a couple of drive like Jehu folks and a couple of rocket from the crypt cats, including the always entertaining john "speedo" ries. and although the hot snakes are no more, these 2 tracks kill it. enjoi

and for the drive like jehu fans out there, here the hot snakes boys do the killer track bullet train to vegas, awesome. turn up your speakers and enjoy the brilliance

getting started early

i walk in the house the other day and Jai is on the floor examining a book on pathophysiology. i couldn't pull him away from it; later on over apple juice he told me that he could feel the juice in his small intestine, awesome.

riding durty

with my bike in the shop and the weather getting colder, we're making every riding day count. Keeping this in mind, Johnny boi came over to work on his nightster. Now this thing is a killer bike and it runs like a bat outta hell. He just got his exhaust heat shields powdercoated black, and we hooked up his turn signal relocation kit. after that we went for a quick spin, with me rollin in Johnny's CRV and J on the hog. soo much fun, shooting pics and rippin it up on the bike. poor johnny froze his ass off, but after a pho soup bath he's back in the game. check the pics for the hotness

after riding this thing, my bike needs the 1200cc engine upgrade, stat!

johnny boi reppin his harley, and my chariot in the background
we also shot a little youtube vid of the day, no crazy boltsaction shit, but serious fun nonetheless, check it here

chop shop

so i finally did it, switched out the original seat on the bike for a rad west eagle solo seat. after that it was on, chopped up the rear fender and fender struts, moved the signals, etc.. etc.. couldn't have done it without the inspiration matt from the oldepro's bike and his how to mount a solo seat manual - johnny boy gave a seriously helping hand, and nan dropped in with some words of wisdom. yeah, the fellas busted my ass for my crazy impatience, and for having tools all over the place but what can you do, i'm backin it.


looks like a real chop shop with that background

Crazy Colt Part Deux!

some time ago i featured crazy colt's bmx hyjinx on the blog. well, after seeing this clip i had to feature the freak again. check out the vid and lock up your daughters

Buell motorcycles is no more....

its a sad day for employees and fans of Buell motorcycles as Harley has decided to stop production of the bikes by Oct 30th of this year. It's too bad as Buell offered some cool bikes, and the founder, Erik Buell always appeared passionate about the bikes and motorcycling in general. For me, i have always been a huge fan of the Buell Lightning and would have bought it, if it wasn't for the release of my bike this year. if you want to read more about Harley's decision click here, if not pour one out for the good people at Buell.

now that is a cool looking machine

RIDE snowboards presents SNOWBOARD ART 8!!!!!

Loyal Blog followers may remember me sqeaking out a win for last years Ride snowboards art contest. with that in mind, it's time to celebrate as RIde is presenting the SNOWBOARD ART 8 contest. other than a getting a cool g note, my own board, and world renowned fame and fortune, i also got to design this years art contest flyer (as seen below). so, if you saw my stuff and thought "this guy sucks, i could do better than that" or if you just like design, put down the bong and lets see some cool shit!

Trip to the Museum

Jai and I checked out the Trev Deeley Harley Davidson museum the other day. Funny thing is that despite being based in a Harley Dealer, the museum barely had any Harley’s; with most of the bikes being early English rides: BSA’s, Truimph’s, and Norton’s. Now, I’m not an old bike aficionado, nor do I think old bikes are better than new one’s and all that shit. My thing is I just dig the style and the look of the older bikes; especially the tank design’s and paint jobs. With a project bike looming in the future, our trip to the museum definitely helped with the inspiration.

look at that tank

now that is a cool paintjob


Jai was feeling this norton sidecar. i think it looks good on the boy

look what showed up in the garage

J-man brings it home with a 2008 Nightster, so awesome! within an hour of getting it we changed out the bars, removed the mirrors, switched up the air cleaner, and removed the front fender, hotness! we went for a quick cruise together, seriously the best shit ever!

oh yeah johnny boy, turn on the techno!

awww, like 2 brothers...

Hoon what!

watchin wednesdays with reda today and noticed this aussie chap runnin a Hoon hat, Frank you're blowin up!

good from far, but far from good

Just finished up my ghetto rattle can spray job on my helmet, and i think it came out pretty rad myself. yeah, there is some paint runs and some bumps, but thats due to my lack of patience rather than skill. nevertheless, i dig it

i feel like jackie stewart wearing this thing, so cool

seymour run

took an early morning run up to mount seymour the other day, and despite the cold it was awesome. the bike was running well, and the roads were clear = a good, fast ride. Plus it was great to check out mt seymour prior to the season kicking off. check out the pics for evidence of the day

soon these lifts will run again. oh yes, they will.

didn't notice the holy glow around the bike when i took this shot.

sample sizzale

Put down the bong and hitup the only sample sale that matters; the Faceshots Burton sample sale. Jeff and his crew have boards, boots, bindings, outerwear and accessories to help you meet your shred fix, all at prices that'll make you say "whattttttt!"

backstage backgammon

jimmy page enjoyin a light drink backstage. i love this picture

for the most snow!

mount seymour is having a 60% off seasons pass sale going on right now! i love mount seymour, and hope to get in a ton of days this upcoming season, buy a pass and meet me at the snake run for some good times, holla!

a pic to illustrate the good times that can be had at mount seymour (me and the gents)

new shit

yep, i've been laggin on the blog these days as i really had nothing to talk shit about, until now...

first up, new bars on the bike. biltwell trackers, so awesome my neck is already thanking me

i recently bought a pair of bars from another company that cost me 3 times as much as my biltwell's and they were shit + the vendor refused to refund my money, bunch of bitches. should have gone with biltwell from the start

nan hates em.

and after a short search i tracked down a killer 70's buco full face. i already tore out the lining and trim to get it prepped for paint

stay tuned for the update!

best comment ever!

My boy Doc J drops the best comment ever when he checked out my post on At the drive in

checkout this amazing performance of cosmonaut by one of the best live bands ever, at the drive in. yes, cedric and omar are probably on crack is this video, but who cares, this is ATDI at their best. i remember when relationship of command dropped, it was on repeat in my car for almost 3 months straight. if you don't own it, do yourself a favour and go buy it now, right now. seriously go buy it
believe me, you will thank me later
