I logged some miles last week, I tell you. I got lots of work done, met up with some gypsies, hung out with Ernesto from Dans and his wife, talked to Jimmy Levan for awhile and even got to ride my bike (and skateboard). Besides being away from my family (which sucks) these are the kind of things that make my crazy job worth it...
Cameron Wood and James Levan at the Shitluck anniversary party. Jimmy is doing really well and almost fully recovered from his terrible accident a few months back. Cam gave me a copy of the 50-50 video, That's It. It is friggin' awesome. The Metal video, Dead Bang is great too. I keep meaning to write about it. The amount of bloodshed is unsettling, but it's a great watch otherwise.Ernesto and a sharply dressed Ryan Metro at the Shitluck gig. Metro is a funny dude.
Clancy Baker?
Following Ernesto's Subaru into Louisville for a fun session at the Louisville Extreme Park (that's really what it's called). It was early Saturday morning and Darrel Nau from Blacken was already going strong after a long night. Darrel is a true individual and it was super fun to ride with him.
Bad photo of a rad kid. Mickey Marshall is so good. This was a backyard ramp session in Ft Wayne, Indiana. Better pics later somewhere?
I met a bunch of new people on this trip. One of them was the subject of one of my favorite photos of the last few years (Keith Terra took it for Dig)...
John "Superfly" Skvarla is super cool. It's always weird/awkward to meet someone that you only know about from BMX magazines and videos. In fact, Superfly's Super BMX video, Live For Today is one I got a few months ago (based on an Afro Pat recommendation) and it is a really good mix of trails, trips and good times. Anyway, Superfly is right on and oddly enough, I got the new Ride BMX mag today and he has a two-page spread in there. Kick ass. Did I kiss enough ass in this post?
Fro sent me a link to a nice video taken at the crazy pool that he, Hatfield and Dan Closser found in late '06.
