You'll...

...probably only get this if you skateboard. I have a few friends that could benefit from this. Hilarious...

Cream City Trip

Loaded up a few cars and a van that held 8 and rolled out to Cream City Skatepark in Milwaukee this past Tuesday for the after sesh. I brought along my little Flip HD video camera and this is my attempt at making a short video of our fun. There was about 20-25 of us from Madison and we had the park all to ourselves. Friends originally from Madison area now living all over Cali, Iowa, Texas, and Australia are in town for the holidays so a few of us have been working up this plan to get us all together and skate while they are here. It felt great to skate again...haven't been able to since the winter has rolled in. Thanks Blake for the info that I already had software on my computer to make these! iMovie works great...

does watching the movie make you a sellout?


I don't think so. Kris got me this on dvd for xma$. It's really good, and it's on netflix now. I highly recommend it. Yes, I know, Bansky is as cliche' as period correct choppers, trucker hats, and pbr, but he's got people talking and noticing art, good art. Again, recommended from me, not that means much, but what-ev's. Aaron, you should come over and watch it. Inspiration.

S.A.D.

Now is the time of year when I get a little discombobulated. I got ants in my pants. I want the stupid winter to be over already. And youtube makes it worse.





If my driveway were too short to park the truck in, I'd go batshit crazy and dance around in a sparkly helmet too. Or maybe something worse.

The Road



This is a route I could take if I get up the nerve to take a long trip on the old GS this spring. Starting in Madison, following the river for awhile to visit relatives who live in Ozark back country, then on to Tuscaloosa to hang out with a drunken poet, then meandering home. I'd probably not stick quite as tight to the interstate as this map suggests. I keep running it through my head and chickening out and then hardening the fuck back up. 1800 miles and I figure I can get 9 days off work, so that's only 20 miles a day, right? Wait...carry the 2...oh hell

It's amazing...

...how much easier it is to lace wheels when you're not drunk. I haven't taken a pic of the finished product, I'll take one tomorrow. I'll get the wheel trued, rim strap, tire and tube put on this coming week.

Polished the hub

















Laying out the spokes

Apparently...

...its called Sin Town Special. Dudes from Half Fast didn't know anything about it either. But I did a search on the name and a pic of it painted and some special effects photo filters were added to it...

Other side though.

Ohhhhh...I like it.

How they setup this turbocharger on this Triumph...got this photo from Chop Cult..not sure who made it. Dirtbike front end...that shits so hot right now.

Really?



Someone is selling this on ebay for $24.95 + $18.33 shipping. Must be "custom".
