I Know It's Illegal....

.....to actually beat someone's ass, but if you have a good reason, is it OK? Here is a pic of my brother doing what you do on a bike, having fun. Yes, he is acting stupid, riding shirtless, w/ a helmet in the snow, but that's what a bike is for, having fun. Tonight my bike ride ended on a very unfun note. As I was riding back home on MacArthur up to the light by Brookmont some idiotic teenagers started yelling at me to get off the road and get on the sidewalk, of course my first thought is always if the name of something has the word "walk" in it, maybe I shouldn't "ride" on it, but I digress...so I politely told the kid to F Off! and of course they speed away laughing. As fate would have it they are stopped at the light as I reach the top of the hill. I politely ask the kid if he would like to step out of the car so I can beat his ass and he proceeds to whip a carton of McDonald's fries at me, with my cat like reflexes I ducked the fries and went to grab the kid in the car. Well that didn't go over very well and they sped off, which of course only made me more angry. I should have gotten the tag or done something more "adult" like ignore them, but I didn't, and of course was angry the rest of the way home. Nice way to ruin what was supposed to be a fun mellow ride.

Old Skate Pics

Well being a very non-regular poster I was motivated by Joel's pics of old skate photos from back in the day, for me the late 70's. I went in search of a bunch of pictures from the Crofton Skate Park, Harry's Backyard, drain shots and I could only find this picture. This a really early shot, I'm guessing '76 or so, probably 7th grade on the ramp Harry and I built from wood we stole from the local construction site by WMAL towers. We eventually added about 2 feet of vertical to this with some stolen coping as well along with a sweet tape player nailed to the tree to play all our favorite songs. Biggest air always during "Slow Ride" from Foghat. This tandem shot is not so rad, but hey it's a pic and a blog entry. If I can track down some more pics I'll post for anyone who cares. I have a sweet hand plant shot from Crofton if I can find it.

Catch Up

So it's been quite awhile since I last posted, so I'll try to do a quick catch up. Had a great trip to the Utah ski areas with the girls over Spring Break. Went to a really cool tubing park called Gorgoza outside Park City. We have a cool video of the whole group going down and I'll post that soon. We were joined by the Anne, Isabelle and Hannah for some skiing at Alta, Park City and Deer Valley. All the girls were tearing it up. We also met up with the Lipscombs and their friends for a day at Deer Valley and all the kids were doing there own thing and tearing through the natural halfpipe and terrain parks.

So you think you can dance!!

Ouch!! I've had some bad falls, but this is ridiculous

Best Ad of the Year

From deep in the hood of Chevy Chase, Maryland, my posse and I decided that this is the best commercial of the year. Peace out.

Cup Stacking

Biggest thing since kickboxing, sport of the future. Allison and Emily are into it. Check out the world record stacker!!

My sweet new toy

Lacking any sort of high end funding I have thrown down on a pretty sweet singlespeed and a 29er at that. It's pretty cool, a tad heavy, but disc ready and fun to ride. Better review to follow after further rides. Later.

Me, not such good balance or skill

For all my peeps who love to see me fail, or hurt myself, enjoy..... as always my people, I share my bountiful love.....

My brother is very handsome

Here is a pic of my brother and his girlfriend, his Colonel Sanders redneck goatee is very attractive. He apparently has also recently been able to grow what appears to be a full beard, but photos do add 10 pounds and more additional facial hair. Allison likes Marcela's shirt. Wow, these posts as always are very deep and insightful. I close as always, I love my people.

My first posting........I'm scared.....

Blogs are stupid, why did I even do this? Because other idiots post their thoughts so why can't I? So that's it for now and maybe forever. I love you all.
