- There are still a couple "spider" t-shirts left. There are only a couple left and I'm tired of lookin' at em, and besides that we need to come up with some gas money for a road trip to Florida in a couple weeks. So I put together a DVD with most of the videos I've posted on the site within the past year, and then some. If you order a shirt you'll get a copy of the DVD and probably whatever stickers I can find in my collection. Click here to order the shirt and DVD, or if you just want a copy of the DVD email me at bud.perspectivesbmx[at]gmail.com and we'll work somethin' out.
