- Rock and Roll Road Fools was nuts! It'll be a DVD worth buying I think, just to see the stunts of Aaron Ross. Lucero got everyone pretty amped up...













See you at Chenga 2 tomorrow!

- Don't forget to go to the Flow tonight! Mat the freaking Condor Hoffman will be there! Not to mention the list of other riders who will be killin' it as Lucero and Thunderlip take the stage.


I'll see you there!


- The Flow will also be celebrating their 6th anniversary next weekend. To do so they'll be giving out free food and drinks! Check the flyer or www.ridetheflow.com for more info.

- The Props/Fender Rock 'N Roll Road Fools is coming to the Flow in one week! Take a look at the roster, it's going to be nuts!




- Don't forget about the video contest we're having. The deadline is approaching...
Go here for more info.

- Albe's has a pretty sweet clearance sale going on. Check it out and find yourself some good deals.

- Many have regarded A Day Late Dollar Short as one of their favorite videos, I'm one of those people. Andy Marshall released the video in about 2001 and it featured riding from a bunch of Columbus and Lancaster locals. For a lot of people this was their first glimpse at Steven Hamilton and Ian Schwartz, and even back then they had an influential style that has carried over today. So here you are (thanks to Aetsh-Shaun)... Steven Hamilton and Ian Schwartz's parts from A Day Late Dollar Short. I wish you could still buy this video. Someone tell Andy Marshall to put out a DVD re-release.

I think Bryan wearing those short shorts is enough of a crime itself.

- Rise Above is throwing an anniversary party tonight!

- Unfortunately Duke Thrashington was not crowned victorious at the Air Guitar contest last evening, but by the looks of it he had plenty of support from adoring fans. Jeff Phillips took some awesome pictures. Click here to see them.

-Contest is open to U.S. residents only! Sorry...
-The best videos will be posted on the site.

Tony Cherry 360'd the double set at UD.


I have a ton of BA/BE Rally photos to go through. The van made it 3500 and some miles and the muffler fell off on I-75 about 30 minutes from home. Here it is in all it's glory at one of the many overlook points on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina.


Yes, that is part of a life size replica of Stonehenge. It's called "Foamhenge" and we randomly found it on our way to the Natural Bridge in Virginia.
