New Spots

There are those days when you ride the same old stuff. Then there can be weeks that go buy like that. But then there are those great days that you stumble across some new spots that relight the fire and great riding comes out. This weekend was one of those weekends for us down south and from the looks of it and what I've heard its the same with our boys up north! Saturday night me, Samir and our boy Richard stumbled upon one of the best spots i have ever ridden! Not going to lie i was out looking for this spot. I got some shady bmxer directions which only got us in the general area. You can expect with a spot like this that no one is trying to blow it up and whoever it is is doing a damn good job at keepin quiet. So right about the time we were going to throw in the towel and call it quits, we spotted it! I am not going to get into details other than it is a bmx and skateboard paradise that has been completely untapped... We spent all the next day putting in mad work to make it ridable and then rode far into the sunset. Never saw another sole.. There will be photos but not as of yet, we need TDP to come help us with that end... So go grab your bike and find that secret spot of your own that will get your blood pumping again. nothing feels better. Also as TD's has been saying shirts sooon. Real soon!

20 Or So: Samir Rojas

I just met Samir a little while ago, we chilled for a weekend with everybody.. It was his first time up here. It was his First time anywhere it seems.
Other than there of course, but I thought that must be clear by now..
The whole time he was lit off his ass and tired as fu"k. Maybe not tired though, as he did seem to get more sleep than everybody else.. He spoke as much intelligible english as he wanted. Which turned out to be not much. Takes alot of shit and gives it right back 100%. Rides like a quieter tight-panted version of Speedy González with a cigarette in his mouth.
And he is one baaaadmuthafucka.
don't let the wool get get pulled. He speaks fine english.. He just doesnt want you to know..


This interview was done over Jase's phone while everybody was burnin with his girlfriend chillin.. not ideal circumstances but it doesn't really matter does it...?
