Fainting Friday

Things that dont work, the term lol, and collapsing are all things that i would rather not have in my life...actually i can deal with things that dont work and collapasing...lol on the other hand!

Right then ma hearties, after kicking the day off with a trillion blood tests, i decided to royaly eat shit, i have collapsed and fainted on many occasion, this time was off the friggin hook surrel styley though, serious trip.

Then my car decided to break down after only just leaving the garage-splendid show.

Who cares...i dont....cause all the new stuff is in and it is fine like savoie dinning, orders goin out next week and pictures up by the time you have cleaned up that aetheletes foot thats been bothering you all week.

Dusty Springfield was pretty good i think, dirt bumps are also quite good, i look forward to good weather. Major sessions at the bowl last week, it was like the x gaymes, only with lots of old has been skateborders, incompetant bmxers and a broken stereo yeeeeeebouy.

Ive been listening to a band called the xx, im enjoying it i think, little worried i have acquired bad taste through fainting.

Go ride bmx....go on

Web Guru

Everybody at the savakas camp shreds something!!! Heres our web guru doing frontflips haha!

homage

I just think i might give a nod to all things good in bmx now and then!

heres one...two of the greatest train the best trails of all time:

Rain Rain Go Away...untill you do...

Right then mateys, if it rains, it sucks, we all know this(apart from trail builders and gardeners)!

So this is what you do:

If your hungover:

Watch The Aviator, one of the most underrated Scorsese flicks ever, Howard Hughes if great, and mental!!!

If you want to reminisce: Watch this...i have always loved this bad boy!

If you want educating about the uk punk scene, then listen to the man himself...Mr Don Letts:

If you need a kick up the ass, listen to this, and watch this.

..and realise your in fact a pussy!

kick out the jams mutha fucker

Fk it, full circle, you can be as opened minded as you like, embrace everything on offer, but there is a reason why you like what you like. Be it skateboards, BMX, Music, Golf, whatever! Never turn your back on something untill you expeience it(within reason). But, fuck it, child instinct is animal instinct...a pointless post regarding some of the finer things in life!

Some shit is just good!

Regal Bmx!!!

We are now proud to be supporting laborers of the finest trails around!!!

Check there site: http://lostintheshadows.net/

There was a photo of all time legend Jay Lonergan, i think it was in a US Magazine, i cant remember. He was doing a table at the a certain set of trails, the photo was then replicated many many years later, exactly the same, even the same clothing etc!!! I

t just showed how timeless some riders,tricks and trails actually are!

These two photos of Mr James Brooks reminds me of this, not the same clothes or angle, but same trick, same rider, same jump, and many years separating the two images.

Some things are fads, some things are there to last...
