This is history

I just saw this up on colony, fuckin epic. Millar, tim wood, guettler and michael canfield. I have had the pleasure of meeting and riding with 'MC' a couple of times, one of the nicest and most talented bike riders I have ever met, peep one of millars prody bmx video series to see what I'm talking about, total ruler, i hope we cross paths again soon!
nice cut down peregrine bars by the way guettler!

The fresh Prince!

Fuck, probably one of the best tv shows for sure totally ahead of its time!! I'm sitting at home watching it right now, sooooo fuckin funny, the writers were comic geniuses!!!! fuckin amazing!!

p.s-did anyone else notice how they changed mums mid season!? she went from being a really black lady to a sorta black lady!! it was like one day they just changed the actor!!!! Carlton reminds of davey struthers!

she's gone!

well, I was in auckland city the other day, wondering around, went to aotea square, and the fuckin fountain was getting pulled down!! seriously so fuckin bizarre to see it happening, I remember seeing an episode of mountain dew on the edge when I was 13 or 14, and seeing phil urwin and team wallride riding aotea square and completely shredding shit, I then made it my life mission that next time my family came to auckland that I get to bring my bike and ride the fountain, a year later I achieved that, if you have ridden the fountain, then you know how totally awesome it is!!! and the amount of nuts shit that has happened on it both riding and skating as well, this fuckin fountain has been around the world so many times!!! anyways, I shot a few pics with the olde iphone while I was there and sent them to zombie mike, peep his page to see it, was trying hard to hold back the tears!

p.s-Glenn Becker put the shutdown on this thing on that mountain dew on the edge segment with the fakie wallride one of the most amazing things to see on video!

Me DAD

So another post, this one's a lil bit closer to home, but fuck it I say, guess this is what blogs are for sometimes, just to vent a few lil things that are happening. So I found out a few months ago that my dad has a few months to live, he has lung cancer. Probably the shittest thing to ever happen in my life, he never smoked, and got a cold one day (he's a doctor by the way) and thought it was nothing, he got a really bad cough and my mum suggested he go get it checked, one week later he was in hospital all connected to machines and shit and being told that he has cancer encasing his right lung. All came as a bit of a shock to say the least. If you've known someone who had cancer or know someone who is dealing with cancer at the moment then you know how much of a gnarly disease it is. The shit thing is that he and my mum have been together for 30 years, and he was her only boyfriend and vice versa, they had built a life together and were looking forward to growing old together and life deals this out. He has always been my inspiration for my whole bike riding life and it's a bitter pill to swallow talking to someone who only has a certain amount of time left in this world. He's done shitloads of stuff for maori heath here in nz, and a TV programme filmed a lil piece on him a while ago, you can check it out here if you want to. Anyways, I just thought that I would share this shit with ya, if you're reading this then thanks a bunch, I guess the biggest thing for me is not so much the fact that I'm losing my dad, its that my daughter is losing her poppa, which is the hardest thing to deal with.

Update time!

So I finally got round to doing some updates!! fuckin hell that took ages!! arrghh, but as promised! here they are!
first is some pics from a few years ago, hell, 5 years!! shit! when T-1 came to NZ, we went on a lil bit of a trip, so many amazing sights and pics taken, and also footage which im sure many of you may have seen on the T-1 DVD, most def one of the best trips I've been on, surfing, riding, chilling, and more chilling!! ahaha, sweeeet, well hope you enjoy 'em!

whhhaaddaaa ya know, another wet weekend!!

what a fuckin surprise!! a wet weekend, this shit is fuckin bullshit!!!! I swung past vics in the weekend and the whole bowl corner looked like it shoulda been at fuckin kelly tarltons!!!! fuckin gay bum nugg!!!
I swung by and saw my mates bill, rhys and morri at Irrom the other day, pretty much just sat round and had some beers and talked shit, the usual, peep their website for a couple of old as hell edits that I helped bill out with a few years ago, from a vid that we did called icons of elegance, and if you want some of their shit ask at your local skateying shops! if your a skatey looking at this shit then hello to you skatey!! you're probably used o seeing lil turd munchers rolling round your local skatepark getting in the way, and thats true those kids are lil faggots, but there's some sweet bikers out there doing their own thing, have a squizz at this shit here!!

The Good Old days!

So anyways, this is a bit of a rant as I've got 5 minutes free at work, but i tells ya, what the hell happened to the good old days of BMX!! The days when you would ride everything, wake up early as fuck on a saturday morning, be in the shed polishing your ride and tinkering around, ride down to your mates house, read issues of bmx plus for a while, then go streetride first thing in the morning, after that hook up with a few more people, usually at a designated spot, maybe combine a couple of dollars and go get some scoops of chips and bottle of fizzy from pak n save, after that go to the skatepark and ride, dodging the skaters cause you's were the only bmxers (and there weren't any of those fag single speed mtber's!!) ride there for a while, maybe session the flyout, then go ride the bmx track after that, if you were lucky there may have been racing on that afternoon!! buy an iceblock and some lollies form the track mum that runs the canteen, and ride the track in between moto's! if you were lucky you would know a kid who was racing and you could hangout at their dads car and read more bmx plus's and look at his dialed bike. After that another street ride and then home for dinner at your mates place, maybe ring mum and ask if it's sweet to stay at his house, get his mum to talk to your mum to confirm that it's sweet, then if your lucky maybe takeaways for dinner, and then spend a few hours in the shed polishing bike parts and making stickers and applying them and re-applying them to make sure that all the lines are straight, then read some more bmx plus's and then maybe watch rad or ride on or cheese or the bully vid, then sleep, wake up in the morn and do it all over again!! those were the goodtimes for me, when you saw another rider on the street and you were instantly friends! and it was ALWAYS crazy when you met another rider from another city! these days there's soooo many kids around, the first thing they're interested in your bike, ha, and if you run brakes or not, and if you've got the latest lotek kicks on (don't get me wrong, loteks are sweet, just usng them as an example) and such. Seems these days that kids are too scared to do their own thing, to run their bike a certain way or dress how they want, hell, even the tricks!!! anyways, this is a bit or a pointless rant, but just do the shit that you want to do and have fun, front brakes, four pegs, freecoaster, whatever the fuckin set up is, it's all bmx kn arse! but bring back the old days, roasting airs, wheelies, and peregrine 48's!!!

fuck me daze its sunny!!

weird, its sunny out!! get the fuck outside and have a ride!!! ahahaha, but if it does start to rain, then maybe take in some young ones!! ahahahahaha, the funniest shit in the world for sure, if you ain't seen the young ones then youtube it, pretty much a childhood shaper for sure, four student scumbags living in a shit flat in the bum fuck asshole of london, doing stupid shit and trying to get birds! favourite ep's include 'bombs' and 'university challenge' and also the scene where warlock is smoking a joint and gives neil a puff and he flys through the roof cause he's high as a muthafucka!!! totally awesome!!! anyways, check back soon for some more 'up-dates' ahuhuhu, also from forementioned 666 show zombie has some sweet pics from it check that shit then get to your bike shop n get some new parts!!

so the weekend was fuckin wet, no riding at all, well, sort of, me and the wazman thought it would be a good idea to ride around and get drunk all day so here are some pics! we went and drank at the public toilets in devonport, the usual drinking spot, then went up north head which, for those of you who don't know, was a military base back in the day, heaps of cool trenches and shit to drink in, after many a jim beam and radlers, shit got a lil bit blurry! then wazman sparked up the silver bullet and that was the end of the night, asleep by 8 oclock!! ahahaha, booyashaka!!

I'm sure he wears make up!

Sir Edmund Hilary passed away.

The man mountain himself died the other day, aged 87. For those of you who don't know, he was the first person to climb mt everest back in tha 50's. Take a look at that pic of the mountain! fuck that shit is gnarly!! anyways, he is being cremated today, props to the big man who put NZ on the map!

Nasty's still got it!

Was parousing the net today and found this video on bmxonline. Fuckin awesome to see Nasty shredding it! He has always been one of my favourite riders to watch, smooth and gnarly. I remember back in the day watching his props interview and he was just a lil kid. then there was that crazy movie that came out about him, which showed him as some sort of glammed up superstar. I did think that was a lil bit fishy! And then there was of course the horrific car crash that almost took his life and left him in a wheelchair for almost a year. Amazing to see someone going form a broken neck to throwing down crazy flipwhips and shit on these big fuckin jumps! madness! Tha nasty dogg will always be a fav, and also, cool to see Puppa Parslow as well, alot of people think he's a dick or whatever, but I think he's a really nice guy, sure he gets a lil bit egged up when on the loose juice, but one on one he's a really chill dude. I remember once at xair we were sitting having a drink, and he was telling me that his drive to become a better rider and person, has always been his dad, motivating him and telling him he can do anything he puts his mind to, he must be one proud dad today and also, at school he was never good at anything, and some teachers would tell him that he's never gonna do anything with his life cause he was always goofing off and messing around, I bet they have changed their tunes now. Another funny fact that people may or may not know is that Parslow is actually form New Zealand, he grew up in Whakatane, a small coastal town on the east coast of the north island. Ha, and here's a pic of nasty and myself, I think we were talking about babies, nappy changing to be precise! ahaha!!

more of tims shit!

HERE'S SOME MORE OF TIMS SHIT, HIS TREASURE CHEST, HOLY FUCK MAN, SOOO MUCH SHIT, AND IN THE HOT WATER CUPBOARD, MORE SHIT AS WELL!!! SOOO MUCH SHIT STILL IN THEIR WRAPPERS, AND CHECK THE BRAND X BOX AS WELL! DIRECT FROM THE STATES! FUCKN CAPS LOCK SHIT! AARRGGHHH

Fark, Too White's bike-o-rama!

Went round to Too Whites bachelor pad the other day, check the pics is all i gotta say hay! and see what secrets his magic chest holds!! sooo many fuckin bike parts! fark!

New Gloves!!??

For Xmas Too White gave wazman some nice shiny white sixsixone gloves, apparently they're the only pair in NZ!! this is how wazman celebrated! double clcik on it! ha, classic!

Some dope rides!

My boi heath has been building a couple of project bikes over the past 8 months or so, and they're finally finished, check these bad boys! he's also got a skyways in the works, but pics of that when he's got it together, if you see him and his missus peddling around takapuna in auckland throw them up some D's!!!!

Austin-ite in NZ

So I was at work a while ago, and got an email from me mate Taj saying that he was coming to to NZ for a trip, his plan was to ride from auckland to wellington, catch up with some family at the top of the south island, then train or bus back to auckland and stay with me and my lady for a few days. Ha, well, the NZ weather got the better of him, needless to say that he got a bit blown around while out on the road! anyways, he had a layover in LA before flying out so Etnies took him out for a lil bit os a riding sesh, you can check it here!

more pics, these from my Iphone...

more pics!

Bulling up the red!!

On Sunday we had a lil bit of a gethering shoreside, it was a fuckin awesome time, Jswiz from redbull came over with teh humemr and we went for a lazy bike ride round devo, it was stinking hot so we found a nice spot in bayswater and chilled hard with hot chip sandwichesm some beers and some swet sounds from the hummer, my only regret is that the tide was higher to go for a swim, goodtimes! here's some pics from the day, and also some of 666 mike riding his trackbike and me and my piece of shit bike that looks like a track bike but is actually a trip to the hospital waiting to happen! I only ride it to work when it rains, so I'm trying to keep it as shit as possible!
