NEW RIDE! S&M B.T.M. FULL SIZE FLATLAND BIKE

S&M B.T.M. FULL SIZE FLAT BIKE SO SICK!

Pacific Coast Sportfishing- Flatlander goes fishing

Jan/Feb issue of Pacific Coast Sportfishing cover. My article/story is in there on page 73.

Back in September 2011 I went on a 1/2 day fishing trip and loaded up on Humboldt squid.
I wrote a small story, sent the pic in to the magazine and they printed it. Stoked as this is
my favorite fishing magazine.

Hope they come back this year.

2012 Zuma Beach ONE LOVE "FLATLAND" JAM & BUNNYHOP COMP

Jan 14, 2012- One Love crew hosted the Zuma Beach flatland bmx jam and Bunny hop contest. Redbull brought out their International DJ truck and sent some of the redbull girls out to pass out redbulls for half the day. A good solid 70 plus riders showed up throughout the day to ride, catch up, and just hang out. Flatland masters such as Day Smith, Pete Brandt, Chris Day, Arron Frost, Ed Nussbaum, Bobby Carter, Todd Carter, Bo Wade, Pearcy Marshall, John Yull, David Debuono, Mike Bobbins, Ryan Russel, Chad Johnston, Cory Fester, Brian Tunney, and many many more. The weather was perfect all day, the Redbull flowed like a river, and there was tons of room to ride. The One Love crew did it up right with great shwag bags full of killer BMX products from the awesome sponsors who love Flatland. East county bmx shop, Primo / tip Plus, Bike-dice.com, Redbull energy drinks. Here are some pics.

Darrin "One Love" Wright gettin the loot ready for the raffle.

Day Smith Killed it all day. Power rolling tricks and awesome switches. I bought one of his hand made rasta beanies and my 9 year old daughter claimed it when I got it through the door.

Pete Brandt came down with the Nor Cal crew and shredded the parking lot. The guy has so much energy, non stop hardcore flatland.

Ryan Russel- I think he gets my vote for up and comming rider of the year. He's got tons of skill, smooth as glass combos, rips in a skatepark, parking lot, and probably tears up street as well. Can't wait to see this kid in all the magazines.

Bunny Hop comp was super fun to watch. The rider in the photo is Robert Smith from bike-dice.com He didn't win the $300 but he sure came close. Can't wait for next year.

NEW BIKE -SUNDAY FUNDAY FOR FLATLAND????

For the past year or so I have been feeling cramped up on  my flatland bike no matter which frame I was on. I even rode a 19.75" strowler for a bit. It felt better but still not big enough. I was kinda scared to throw down cash to buy a street frame as an experiment. I finally ate it hard one day on my flatware bike and figured out that my feet (size12) as well as the rest of my body 6' 200lbs was too big for these tiny bikes designed for smaller riders.  I went and picked up a 2011 Sunday Funday in watermellon green 20.5" top tube.

New spot at Cabrillo Way Marina in San Pedro, CA.  Epic views, awesome boats, and free parking all day long.

New bike, new spot, old trick. Photo by Chris "Flat Clothing" Day.

THE BICYCLE SOURCE GRAND REOPENING PARTY!!!!!

 Last weekend, I had the chance to go to the grand reopening of The Bicycle Source. That's right, THE BICYCLE SOURCE.  It was a blast, Steve Blackie and Danny Hubbard have something special going on down there. They have recaptured the vibe and feel of the original shop but have taken it many levels beyond in a very short period of time. Picture this, a full service BMX shop with an awesome indoor bike park, lounge, bmx historical/vintage bike museum, and bar-b-que all in one spot. I thought we would only be there for a couple hours or so but ended up there for like 6 hours just talking and reuniting with old friends from my childhood. Here are some pics. They don't do the party  or The Source justice but man I want to talk to my wife about moving to the OC just to be closer to the shop. So much energy there, if Kramer went he would say it's "The place to be". Can't wait for the next event on May 21st. Chris Day of Flat Clothing is having a flatland jam there. Look out! Has to be dope! LOTLIFEBMX.BLOGSPOT.COM will be an official sponsor and stay tuned for lots of coverage. Full story, photos, and possible video footage to come.

1st Ride Flatware Waltz

Finally had some good weather today and got out to ride a little. Flatware frame feels great, kinda reminds me of my old KHE RIP but with a much better warranty and better attention to detail. So far I love this frame. Still have to get used to it, I think my nankai axle is bent. Need to replace that tonight. Heres some pics I took self portrait 10 second timer style.
