Random As Rhyme

Just watch and LOL

My friend Yuri took some new shots of me. I’m stoked on em.

At this years X-games BMX legend Van Homan joined Matt Berringer, and Mike Aitken in the sadly growing group of riders who have suffered serious head injuries in the past two years.

All of those riders are ones I have admired my entire riding career and it’s a real bummer to know that they all might be forever changed because of their conscious choice not to wear helmet. Mikey’s life has already permanently changed but it remains to be seen what the long term effects on Matt and Van’s lives will be.

As I am sure most of you are aware right now a 5.7ish Earthquake was felt from Ottawa all the way to Toronto. I have never experienced an earthquake before so it was pretty wild. The earth didn’t open up or anything crazy but the twitter/msn chatter was pretty amusing.

Here are some conversations I had with my friends right after it happened, reading them back later they amused me.

Ya so basically Stance Is Everything has been taking a lot of my time, which is good because it’s actually getting pretty popular. Go figure people care more about what I have to say about cars than what I have to say about my own life.

Anyway this blog still isn’t dead yet, I think about it every week when I wish there were more hours in the day. Perhaps I will start writing blogs on the subway… but then I would have to just retype them later and there in lies the time paradox…

Hip Hop lost a legend yesterday in Guru and it’s a shame a lot of the slime that’s flowing around regarding his death right now hopefully the truth comes out soon and this man can rest in peace.

Quick one today for those of you still hanging around…

This is almost completely a pic dump but the good news is it’s back!

Everyone who lives BMX this weekend was reacting to two major events; The first was the news that Dave Mirra was in the hospital with a life threatening illness (bacterial meningitis) and the second was that The Canadian Beast, aka Jay Miron, sold the company he started (Macneil) to his former employees and is effective more or less immediately fully disengaging from the BMX world.

I love this dude and I love what the internet has done to him.
