This past friday was the marking of another year on this earth. Friends, families, crews and friends of friends came out to celebrate with me. Thank you to all that came through to make a fun filled night. The day started with a smooth 40 mile ride and end with manny beers. I will be leaving town for a few days and hopefully I will post some stuff from the road. The release of the “Moment” video is on hold do to some technical difficulties. (whats new)
Stay Tuned
There is a bunch of creative energy going around lately and I’m trying to put myself in the middle of it. Rob and I have been chipping away at the block we call Harrison ST Mix. Damn we having are a lot of fun and it’s going to be sick.
In classic timing from yours truely I will have The Moment up later tonight for your weekend viewing. Here are some photos from yestardays tattoo session
31 racers, ruffly21 miles, fastest time 1 hour 30 minutes
polo games went on while the race was going
scrapper bikes roll through
James checking in the racers as they arrive
Best checkpoint was to achieve a golf ball from the golf course.
There were mad prizes.
Once the race was over we had a group ride to Alameada for the Bicycle Film Festival. Kicked it outside with friends and cold ones till the showing of “Rad” in HD. I had great time and meet a buch of new folks, THANKS JAMES you put on a BADASS event.
You can plan all you want, yet there is something that can always go wrong. I had a long day of shooting yestarday for a friend of mines project. It was a great time and handle the whole production very well. Amped a the end of the day we called it a warp and went out for some food and beers only to run into some problems today. So here is to always expecting things to go wrong and to the next step of problem solving.
Backwood and I have been working on the Harrison st Mix Tape for a minute now with the end in closes site (classic skate video timing). On a finished tip, I will be uploading the full verson of “The Moment” by latest Monday. This Sunday is Bicycle Film Festival, which means a full day of biking events (Bad Ass Alleycats, Bike Polo, Traq out sessions and films about cycling.) Check out the macaframa link for more info.
Well the 4th was filled with friends, food, bikes and beers. I had a bunch of fun riding around Oakland, SF and back in Oakland. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.
I had a nice three day weekend and didn’t get half of the work done that I wanted to. O Well. So now it’s back to work this week with a lot of work in front of me. Look out for a new video to be up loaded later this week.
Yesterday was the release off the nike sb Blue Lobster which everyone in the sneaker world was trying to get. We had a nice line out front with one guy in the front who put in 25 hours to get his pair. We had a good size run of shoe but still only took 30 min to sell them all.
So it has been a minute since I have posted anything besides a photo or two. It’s been a long hard month for me. I have spent the last month chillin on the LO trying to heal a broken collor bone I got in the end of May do to a bike crash. The time has been spent at the house getting very little sleep and riding the bus a lot to get to and from work. At the same time I had to finishup my video installation for the Hood Games show, that was a blast and thank you for everyone that came out for that.
So it has been a month and I feel great and finally on my bike again an can’t wait to ride my fixie again. Really it great not to have constant pain and have to wait for the bus. This has been a great lesson in not taking things for granted. Even though I had set backs I still managed to be productive and get things done.
So here’s to being our selves and doing it how we do cause I can care less what you think of me or how I do it because this is my life and the way of me living it.
Quality Over Quantity
