IM B.A.F. '08 Notes From The Road

We're on the muthafuckin road,
And the muthafuckin road's on us..

Jase, Cody, Tha Brain And TDP-ZO took flight from the little bread box world of the OC.
Got all our shit, selves and bikes into the Jase mobile lookin for bat signals and got ghost.
Somehow as we drove the sun went down yet the temperature kept rising.. strange. Track housing got replaced with sand and stars, which got replaced in turn by more track housing, neon lights and the land of western vices, Las Vegas..
One always finds unexpected things when you take off the concrete shoes and float to the surface.. this evening was no different. We got into Vegas at 11:30 and went straight to anthem, one of the 40 or so concrete gems that double as outdoor ovens in the fine high desert of Nevada. The park is beautiful. it sits in a prefab community of culdisacs and fake waterfalls. The lights were off and I had the uneasy feeling i had left one suburb for another...

We did the prerequisite procrastination session, figuring out whats next with four people who aren't really trippin is always a bit of a mission. After deliberating like the statesmen we are we decided to check out the belly of the beast..
Ill let someone else explain -TD

Jase: So we took off to the strip which can always be different. I've been to Vegas plenty of times. Each one of them being very different then the others. This time was no exception. This time I had three other fools with me in this crazy place of no sleep. Baisically sober, we were on the mission for them trees, and let me tell u it was weird. I've had more fun on this visit to Vegas than any other, John just walked in, lets see whats his thoughts are on this crazy adventure we had in gamble land...

"Running into Castro was when it alll started to get crazy .. I mean, have you ever had one random fool put in a good 4 hours of work to find you some dank? That's what happened to us. Along the way there were tall cans, some kids way too young to be out at 4 am in Vegas, Castro, a dude named skrilla from shy-town, some random muthafuckas and our trusty old Tdp who started beat boxin for some fools wit flow but no beat. They went for a good two or three blocks where we finally stopped. They however, did not. Shit was bangin. After all the stress and good times we twisted one up and rolled up to anthem park to ketch that sun rise sesh. I mean who really sleeps in Las Vegas?" -Tha Brain

Td passed out in the car cause the sun got to his bald-ass head while we schralped... After a long sesh tempered with trying to deal with the crazy heat we packed up an rolled on to a pool at a little crack house. Hit and run mission, The Brain did some crazy shit while everyone else hit the shade.. He even did an impossible corner air with a flat tire.. he was holding in the air with his finger while TDP set up.. Sav.

We kept the ball rollin and ended up at what I am going to call paradise. Utah is the state. Matt B's is the house. And what rad hosts these guys are. Thanks for everything. You guys rule!!! Also Big ups to Loyal To Your Soil for helping make this all happen

More Tomorrows..

I had officially gone stir crazy yesterday. Richie got freaked out at my pacing, I did too but i couldent stop. I'd been in the HB house for damn near a week and I was losing it.
Sometimes you get lucky in terms of everything aligning just right and all goes well, people don't have work, you and all your friends are rich and have beautiful girlfriends that kind of shit. Sometimes life isn't that sweet and you gotta deal. The time john and I have spent down here moves like molasses bu when we do get to put in work, its worth it. Jase is the man for driving everywhere (which i am finding is intrinsic to the whole "so-cal" thing) and took us to this wall ride near some bats for a bit that had a huge bank to drop into. I pussy dropped into it then Samir and John thought it would be smart to go cranking on the deck to get high speeeeed...

Balls and a vice grip is all you need. After that we just stuck to the lower confines of the hill, Samir was using half the bank as a roll in for long carvy wallrides..
Jase is looking for his keys and has been for a ridiculously long time.. Last night however the only thing he was looking for was a few good lines.
Speaking of lines after the wallride spot they took us to some little skatepark at a church.. I love riding weird shit. As per usual everyone did something worth doing. Notables are John's ability to find smooth lines that link effortlessly and richie. Rich likes super stylie 180's. Rich also likes riding fast. Last night he did a siiiick line. should have some web vids here soon.. Nuff said.

Were leavin on the trip today. Because of some bullshit like life and whatnot, Samir and Rich will not (as of right now) be going on the trip..
Destiny's child said it best...
Bills,
Bills,
Bills.

Should be gettin shirts and stickers today. Check the spot for new content eryday.

There are some lessons ive grabbed in my short time on the earth.
Dont shit where you eat.
Live with integrity.
When there's an opportunity, take it.
Thats exactly what The Brain and i did.
We grabbed that shit.
I'd been fed up with bein posted in the same old place for awhile so we hopped ship and caught a ride down south with Cody and Jase. We be Pirates.
Smart move right? Maybe.. Do you like cookie cutters? Me neither.. Its all good, its an adventure, and termite chewed wood is cool to look at...
John and I'll be kickin around HB till the Revolt road trip in a week, then we'll be kickin around there..
keep checkin back for updates.. and the elusive Tee's

Derek is in town and ready to ride. We haven't put much up on Derek yet but... reallly not much needs to be said. This kid is natural on his bike and seems to know how to ride any and every spot like he grew up riding it. He is shy and humble when you first meet him but you will soon learn that he's really not shy at all but one of the funnest people to chill with and will talk more shit than any one else haha..
Anyway here are some photos to enjoy ..
