This Bike isa Pipe bomb

2012-01-22T19:11:00.000-08:00

Here's another throwback. I have distinct memories of riding the bowl at The Gilman Park in Berkeley with this song plugged in my dome, carving, airing, riding with the homies, gettin loose, and rag dolling. This Bike is a Pipe bomb was birthed out of Pensocola, Florida (which is the closest you can get to hell on earth) they shredded for an odd 22 years, got signed by Plan-it-X-Records, shredded some more and recently disbanded in February of last year. Tho they have split, it's still pretty fun to pedal at high speeds along the out skirts of town with them bumping in my ears. Enjoy the likes of bikebombs and Bozo Texino.

Occupy Oakland November 2nd

If you know occu-pie you know theres drum circles. One of the most liberating days of my life. To bad the roll I took at the Oakland Ports got annihilated.

My homie Alex frank has been mixing some pretty dope beats lately. Check out his grooves at Jamurai. Watch out for Sophia Rose's giggling vocals, because they're amazing and yes you can download the entire album for the F. Your stoked.

Glory Hole

2012-01-19T19:31:00.001-08:00

This is an exquisite portrayal of the trek and beauty that going to the Glory Hole casts among it's shredders. The Fullframe crew went above and beyond when filming this edit, with the flare induced night riding and hanging beer coolers. It's probably the first time i've ever heard of someone riding the Glory Hole at night and with this edit you've got the pleasure of seeing it first hand. Sit back and enjoy.

Mr.Buchanan

2012-01-12T22:43:00.000-08:00

This is my Homie Sam Buchanan and we've been spot hunting since we were about 8 years old. From searching around the small streets of Mill Valley to riding neighboring pools and distant spillways Sam is always down to explore and find that secret spot regardless of the obstacles that obstruct our chance of shred. Here I captured a shot of Sam in a poised state after another successful spot find.

Chick Flick

2012-01-12T22:21:00.000-08:00

Chick Flick is a revolutionary film based on five female BMX riders from across the globe (Natalie Wade, Nina Buitrago, Camila Harambour, Jessica Ausec and Angie Marino). Natalie Wade (Morgan Wade's wife), noticed the increase in the number of ladies shredding BMX bikes and decided it was time to create the very first all-girls BMX video. If your interested in the film or want to see girls kicking your ass on a BMX bike check out chickflickbmx.com.

The No Game Train

2012-01-06T19:53:00.001-08:00

I was recently in Florida with my baby Natay and after a long bike ride thorough hell on earth (Miami) we took the train back to her home land in southbeach. We had to take the last train and on that train this happened

I captured this shot of Nikolas a couple of months ago on a ride we caught out of Inverness. We woke up real early in order to get to the zen-shack along the coast and soak in the crisp air of the Pacific. After a night of German mania, cowboy boots, buttshine and bonfires we were stoked to catch this early morning lift. Nuggets, techno, and barefooted weirdness.

Abandon Ship!

2012-01-06T18:46:00.000-08:00

If you like pirates, enjoy sleeping in the woods, eating with a spork, and despise the destruction of the natural world. You may enjoy the green-anarchist sounds that radiate from Abandon ship! The sound they carry has been constructed from the ocean shore and mountain redwoods that surround their home of Santa Cruz, Califronia. Pirates and hermits together they thrive. Twang-Bang-Ka-Mang-Pang. Rivers their banjo player is in need of our support. Please inform yourself and click here.

I hope you enjoy the sound, now go hug a tree.

Brendan rips a sweet looking trail and throws his dirt jumping steez into a technical singletrack. It'll definitely get you stoked to ride your bike. Enjoy!

Here's a classic for all you twat-fools out there. Elizabeth Cotton wrote this song around 1908 when she was about 13 years old after saving up to buy her own guitar she revolutionized the alternating bass style of playing. Where she would play a right handed guitar upside down and play the bass strings with her fingers and the melodies with her thumb. Her wamwam style of playing is known now most commonly as "cotton picking." Enough with my brief history lesson. Click play and ENJOY!!!

She plucks beautiful harp melodies and solos on her celtic harp which may drift you to sleep, yet her clever and bizzare lyrics tame you to stay awake and drift into a trance like state. Some of her songs like "Emily" include a banjo which gives her music an everlasting stream of uniqueness and the fact that she's adorable makes it even better. ENJOY!

Here's the low down brought by the Gobbelins themselves. "From deep within the confines of the city sewers, and the darkness beneath your bed, Thee Hobo Gobbellins slash and jangle their path into your skull. They weave a wickedly catchy mixture of ancient pirate curses, orcish vaudeville, and eldritch hobo semaphore...The band incorporates traditional sounds of Americana and the Old World with the horrors of modernity. Monsters from folklore and fiction wriggle alongside freight-train spirituals and drinking songs. The result is a disturbing haunted house for the ear, a nightmare carnival that is at turns goofy and murderous." Eat more at HoboGobbelins.

Reese on Ridgecrest

2011-03-19T13:42:00.000-07:00

Reese Butler is a man of the wild, an innovative character built for survival. Never before have I known a dude as prepared as Reese within any situation, any hike, any bike ride, or camping extravaganza Reese will blow your mind with his ingenious characteristic of being prepared for anything. From making emergency bivy sacks out of trash bags, cooking pasta and meat sauce on the tops of mountains, crafting almost anything you can imagine out of duct tape, to designing an entire functional home out of snow. The Boy Scout motto has been glued into Reese's mind since we were weee lads and will surely carry him onto grandiose feats and more epic mountain escapades to come. Yet, in this particular photo neither Reese or I were expecting 12 inches of snow on Mount Tamalpais, it has been decades since this much snow has paraded down on Mt. Tam. Check out some of Reese's work here.

The ocean is she.
Beckoning beachcombers with her tantalizing waves.
People tease her at her shores with half-ass attempts at pleasuring her. Running chaces in wetsuits also known as running condoms can never fulfill her. She loves when summer finally comes and the combination of skinny-dippers and the first penetrations of surfboards bask in her awaiting wetness.

"I felt like lying down by the side of the trail and remembering it all. The woods do that to you, they always look familiar, long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten song drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past manhood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years ago and the clouds as they pass overhead seem to testify (by their own lonesome familiarity) to this feeling." -Jack Kerouac

Chris Akrigg is an incredibly talented bike rider and a mighty rad dude, a few months back I had the opportunity of showing Chris and Robert Rebholz around San Francisco to shoot some photos around the bay area before Sea Otter. Chris was mesmerized by the San Francisco sunsets, Rob was pumped on some sweet photos, and I was stoked on meeting some new homies. Now almost a year later Chris is continuing to blow minds, with this edit of him riding much closer to home on a hill in Spain. Combining the likes of downhill riding and aggressive trails riding I honestly have never seen somebody ride a bike like this, I would recommend hitting play and soaking in this new style of riding. Enjoy!!! If you dig Chris's riding style check out his site at ChrisAkrigg.

Matador

2011-02-17T22:21:00.000-08:00

Matador is a band based out of Santa Cruz with a sound that will make your eardrums kick. Their harmonic lyrics of the natural world and those who inhabit is taken in to a unique account as Mathew and Dorota throw their own spin on American folk music while adding some sprinkles of polish flavor. First seeing these guys preform was at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, completely fed up with the ruthless hordes of people and overcrowded stages. I began walking out and saw these cats performing on the street corner, utterly stoked, I danced, I listened and was enchanted. If you dig it you can purchase their album here.

raunchy acts and blackened finger nails

leather limbs and denim souls

the voices are gone

We are Family is a union of riders and homies that are projecting their lives through the means of freestyle bike riding. Having fun, blasting high, and pedaling fast is the name of the game. This here is the second family session and the first episode, yet its kind of ironic that only one sibling is riding in this edit. Andreu Lacondeguy throws it down to shows y'all kids how to properly toss yourself around at high altitudes. (around 4:08 I would turn the music off to spare your ears) Besides that enjoy!

This here is a song Nikolas, AlexFrank, and I recorded spontaneously in my room after a date with our favorite green god. Utter maylay. Check out more ranting golbinghoultrollfuck here at Nirvakalpa.

A graveyard of flowers were left inside
Pools of gin and whiskey drowned the cold foundation
A brink of tomorrow lies within the floorboards
The door of yesterday is locked in the attic
Goblets in flames
Ropes are a haze
The witches were burned near the house left behind
