skateboarding...

Snapped this picture a 2 years ago camping at Pismo beach with my two younger brothers. We took a little coastal skate road trip up to Oregon and back hitting as many parks and spots as we could handle. Most fun i'd had in a while.
Saw this pic scrolling through the computer and was taken back. I've had an imaginary knee problem thats slowed me down a little lately but really, it all comes down to me being a pussy and not trying. i gotta change that..

go here today...

its funny how life works-
got the panhead loaded up
gas in the tank
tools in the bag
alarm set for 4 a.m.
ready to roll solo mission out to pheonix.

then i get a phone call, change of plans.
guess who has to work...........this guy.

next time Jeremiah.

cats outta the bag....

"Rock Lobster" the B52's tribute bike coming soon.

BF3 bound...

Mike and Grant over at Born Free headquarters have graciously allowed me to play with the big boys and participate in the guest builders area of BF3. Kind of a big deal to me because (1) I'm nobody (2) I think this show is without a doubt the best and biggest thing going on in America as far as the vintage chopper thing is concerned...see what i mean, big deal. And if you've been to the first two shows, you'd know how humbling it is.

So i've been fortunate enough to rustle up some knucklehead parts and have started doing the mock-up game playing with ideas - stance, wheels, short, long, high, low...all that. Pretty sure the end result will look nothing like the picture. The only thing i will guarantee is that there will be no airplanes glued to an aircraft carrier shaped gas tank.


well, maybe..

parking lot sighting

saw this mid Dodge holding down the parking lot at the ranch market by my house. diggin the white wagon wheels rear door bubbles.

Blackstar Canyon...

Blackstar Falls and Nick. He looks tiny next to it, and he's 6'2" and weighs about 400lbs.




Blackstar is a place of legends here in Orange County. Satanic cult sacrifices, the ghosts of massacred indians, elves, witches pretty much anything you can think of "happens" here. I've never experienced anything out of the ordinary but growing up hearing the tales, no doubt it's a little eerie. All i know is there is some good hiking and bitchin waterfalls deep in the canyon. And since it's been raining so much, i knew there'd be some good water flow so thats what we did today.

One thing i trip out on is when i talk to people who've never been here or just checked things out in the local mountains (especially because it's only 15 minutes away from anywhere here) maybe it's because me and my brothers explored this area so much as kids with our old man and it seems so second nature to me. Whatever the deal, people just need to get out more often and explore whats right in there backyard.

5 things...

1. Curtis Mayfield
2. Triumph love
3. Rick Flair
4. Kung Fu
5. Straight pimpin

Masterlink Lee up in Oregon has one of the baddest blogs on the internet. Whether its bitchin triumph choppers or booty gif's, he's got you covered. He's also got the best blog soundtrack, half the time i find myself leaving his tab open just to have some killer background tunes. Check him out.

stay up brotha.

merry christmas

the holidays get a little crazy over here.

what were you doing at 1 a.m.?

i was ruining a perfectly good kicker arm.

Michael Schmidt

I've been talking with Michael for a while now about coming by, hanging out and snapping some pics for the boys over at DICE. He used to be an architect but quit to pursue his passion, photography. Thats a pretty big leap considering that most would consider that career suicide. Well now he shoots for some of the biggest modeling agencies in the world and travels all over for it too, not bad.

I respect people who follow their hearts rather than follow the leader.

Check out his stuff, pretty killer.
THE WORLD IS FLAT

Nicks bars

...and cleaned up 35mm's

clean sweep

pushed the model A out and shuffled some stuff around
now i can actually see my garage floor.

should have done that a while ago.

and the Creepiest Cadillac award goes to.....

this beast is on ebay right now. Its a 1929 Cadillac hearse, all of that ornate bodywork is hand carved wood. I can honestly say it's one of the gnarliest things i've seen in a while.

t-boner

T-BONE has been building this beast after hours for a little while now and today he brought it out for the first time to the David Mann show today.

I had seen this bike in it's early stages and have been sitting on a bunch of spy shots for a while wanting to post them but waited patiently for him to finish it.
Well the cats outta the bag, and this thing is pretty nuts. It really is a cool blend of new school reliability and old school badass-ery styling and that paint, whoa...flashback.


Oh yeah, did i mention it's for his MOM!!!

coming soon....
