PIcture time!
by catfishcatfish on 6-8-2009Here is a bunch of pictures from the last month or so. Sorry I have been slacking bigtime.
This is my life right now:
Green lasers. I bought one in China for 8 bucks. I had no idea what I was getting into. 2 weeks later I was on a plane with 27 of them. I took that picture tonight. In my backyard. Yes that beam shoots very very far. If you ask anyone that has seen me over the last month. They will tell you about my obsession with these babies. I even filmed this weeks Weekly Update with Boost Mobile for Fuel TV with my laser on the desk. ridaz.
I was in Cali last week for said Fuel show filming. I hung out with Mr. Tony Neyer my entire time and haven't laughed so hard in a while. We went to Magic Mountain to see Zack Warden who is doing shows there and also session some roller coasters. Let me take a moment to tell you that there is no roller coaster in the worlds like X2. We went on it twice and it changed us. Best thing ever. Plus..there is fire.
Right down the street from Magic Mountain is an amazing bicycle playground. The new Santa Clarita park. I had been reading about this place for years and was stoked to finally ride it.
We get to the park around 6:30 and find this sign. What the hell Santa Clarita? Who wins in this situation? Kids tag the park and you shut it down? What kind of moronic thinking is that? It obviously wasn't kids that ride or skate the park. What am I supposed to do about it? I hate you people. On a related note..I had a permanent marker on me and thought about tagging the glass but Tony talked me out of it. Thanks dude.
The day before we rode the Dave Parrick ledges. I love that they are called that.
We rode these for a bit and then headed to what might be the worst skatepark ever. I can't even remember the name of it but it was cement and looked like it was sculpted by plumbers. ELDORADO!!!! Eldorado skatepark. Good lord. I feel bad for the locals. That place really sucked. What sucked worse was the 8 year old kid that skated up to Tony and I and simply said "Skaters are better than bikers" and skated away. The rest of the session I kept hoping for a femur breaker out of him but it never happened. Only in Cali
I never finish my food. When I order a pizza. I don't finish it so I would set the box outside. Pretty soon..Ricky Racoon would start grubbing up what I didn't eat. Buddy would sit on the porch on his back feet and eat a piece of pizza like his was an American. So funny. This pic was close...You can see the pizza off the ground and in his hand. I love him so.
I went home to Y-town for a minute. Saw my buddy Allan Kail. Had to take a picture of this sticker. 4th grade has this tattoo. I need to get on that.
Here are some China pics. Chinaz!
Yeah.
Yeah again.
Brian Hunt stuck his arm in that muck for 45 dollars. You don't want to know what it is.
Drew is never scared of stuff like this. 20 foot drop into a highway. I was freaking out. Wait for the video to see what he did on his bicycle.
This happened everyday in China. The gears are turning in buddys head. Trying to figure out a BMX bike. I love China.
We were riding this wild spot. Security rolls up lights flashing and everything. He pulls the golf cart directly in the path of the spot we were riding. I simply asked him to back up and he did. Buddy sat there and watched us ride and film and never said a word. He kept the lights on the entire time too.
B hunt about to film Drew baby. I like this picture.
B hunt is a dancer. He loves to dance. I don't. I just chill. I was chilling and Brian was dancing for like an hour with these girls. They were all cute and spoke a little bit of English. After a while the guy at the bar next to be strikes up a conversation. He was from Brazil. He saw Brian dancing and asked if he was with me. I told him yes. He then said "Does he know that he's been dancing with hookers for the last hour?" I told him no, laughed my ass off and finished my drink before breaking the news to Brian. Hahaha
I took this one at SMP. The worlds largest skatepark. It's bird shit that looks like a penguin or something.
I do this every year. Pick up a car.
B simms and Rob Wise were with us on the trip. Bunnyhoppaz!
One day we were doing some demos at a University and a girl asked us if we wanted to perform at a dance contest. What initially was a small dance contest turned into a full fledged American Idol show with smoke machines and a couple thousand people. This was taken right after the show. We rocked the house.
Here are a couple videos:
One night we were in this club and this very "friendly" man decided that he really liked Brad Simms. At one point he came up behind Brad and put both arms around him. I thought Brad was going to rip him like a phone book. Things calmed down and the guy just got wasted. They he tried hitting on all of us...over and over. So we burned his eyes with the laser.
This is nothing short of awesome. Again, anyone that knows me and attest to the fact that I have serious mental issues when it comes to scaring people. It's awesome. In China, it's awesomer. Not to mention how cute buddy says "You mudda fucka"
