I've got some sad news to report... city of Troy local and fellow rider Jed Sheafer passed away a few days ago after a car accident. Jed was a rad dude and it's really sad that he's gone. My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family, especially all the riders in Troy that were close to him. His funeral will take place on Thursday.

If you've seen the Goin' For Broke DVD from a couple years ago you may have seen Jed in one of the mix sections. He's got a clip in there of a pretty good pedal grind. I've embedded the video below, check him out at about 43 seconds in. Rest in Peace, brother...

Here's a video of Mark Kincer, Jeff Burrows, Brandon McCoy and a few others ridin' the Cellar. Pretty good stuff in here...

Biker Ben and I met Vince at Chenga 57 yesterday. We rode there for awhile then drove over to Ray's to meet up with Mang and check out the new "Grind Room" section of the park. It's a nice little addition to satisfy the peg riders like myself.

An overview of "The Grind Room"...

Ben double peggin' the pipe.

Vince, 1 footed toothpick stalls.

Vince, backwards luc-e grind = broken chain.

Here are some photos that I shot this past summer, that I was saving for a project that never happened.. enjoy
I miss summer....

So, heres the story,
I work till 3 am at a sandwhich shop near a college, therefore I see lots of mindless college kids.
sunday night I saw one of UD's finest..

A group of 5 college kids come into the shop and start joking with us. the ones says " i will let you punch me in the face for a free sandwhich" my manager reply"s "no". He says "what if my friend punches me in the face?" My manager replys " lets see it"



what you don't see is the young lad lays KO'd on the ground for about 45 seconds.. gets up and spits out 2 teeth!

I did some research.

UD yearly college tuition is $25,950
Fake teeth implants are $1,200 each minus dental charges

The sandwhich he got for free and couldn't eat anyways was $7

So ben some drawings and Sketches and I got into it.
So I am posting a couple items in my "found" photo collection. enjoy.



Cowgirls, this came from a thrift store.. love it.



Found this in a attic at a house I was thinking about renting.



The back, Judy 1967

Since I don't know what I'm doing with my life, i figured I'd enlighten you with some random drawings I've seen or drew lately

I drew this one on a napkin at the powells

Bryan Campbell drew this beauty

I'm going to be updating this site with more, randomositys!

This should be sweet...

Before there were sites like YouTube there were only a few places to watch BMX videos online, SanDiegoBMX.com was one of them. That site kept me entertained for a long time. Through the lifespan of the site Ryan Fudger put together a ton of videos, and at the time I downloaded a bunch of them. Well a few weeks back when I was going through some old back-up discs I found all of the old SanDiegoBMX videos I had downloaded. Here are a couple, but check out Fudger's blog on RideBMX.com to see the rest.

Taking Back Sunday is coming to Toledo on the 14th, and The Fight Within is opening! The show will be at the Civic Theater (aka Erie Street Market) on the 14th. My brother sings and plays guitar for TFW, so if you go say hello to him and compliment him on his beard.

You wanna sell a bike? You gotta do it like this...

manly bike on craigslist

"This bike is made out of metal and kick ass spokes. The back reflector was taken off, but if you think that deters me from riding at night, you're way wrong."

"The bike says Giant on the side because it's referring to my junk, but rest assured even if you have tiny junk that Giant advertisement is going to remain right where it is."

If there were a "Craigslist Ad of the Year" award, I think this would be it.
Thanks for the link T-Rev.

Here's a trailer for the new Micreation video "Synopsis". Features the Micreation team on a trip from Cincy up through Canada to Montreal and various other cities to the north.
And do you remember those awesome Brad Simms and Eli Platt video parts that circulated the internet for awhile? Those are on the disc as a bonus (as well as a few other things). I'm sure it's worth the $10 so order a copy or put it on your Christmas lists or something... www.micreation.net www.danscomp.com
