So as you all probly know Christchurch has been fucked over BIG TIME!!! Im not the kinda person to get too serious about things but its a not a very nice place to live at the mo. So if you get the chance to help anyone out or donate some cheddar It would kool to hook some hombres up. People need your help.

Luckily a few car loads of us got a chance to get away and go to the Farm Jam '11 down in rural southland on the Frew family farm. Shit was so real and the level and intencity was the best Iv ever seen in NZ. Everyone pushing things and getting things done in there own way. Was sick to see all the bros from round the place and camping and getting loose is always a good time. Check out the likes of the tim pierce blog and others for some coverage.

I broke a bone in my hand at the jam, so i had a play round filming Shaun and K-wol in arrowtown on the way home. Heres the result...

Buy a Colony complete bike in ozzy and send Colony HQ your scooter and the receipt and they give you a prize. Pretty big move. Hate to say it but I session JELLY with tones of scooter rats and they are mostly good lil buggers. They all stoke on BMX but cant aford to get one. So I guess this is a good incentive. hmmmmmmm.

Oh and I just order one of these bad cats to muck round with. Tim is a good dude and makes em sound pretty sweet!

2010-09-13T22:02:00.000-07:00

So. Skinner. Stu, JJ, Dwayne and Myself hucked over to Brisbane and the Goldey for like 10 days. Starting the night before the rocking and a rolling started at home in ChCh. I had like heaps of txts in the middle of the morining over there and have seen the damage first hand now so I guess i can tell how real it was.

We just stayed in a hostel and used trains to get around for the most part. We partied. We rode. We went and did other shit. It was a fair dinkem holiday realy. Fucking sick bunch to hang and travel with, even if sometimes it was frustrating, I still had the time off my life the whole time. Im guessing all of us did. Highlights for me was stuey hucking a fairly manly sized rail and taming the beast, as far as riding goes. And dream world day and beach day would be my off the bike awsome times.

Skinner took photos most the trip so heres my faves. Thanks SKINNNNASSSSTY!!!

Ask skinna nicley and he might show you the rest!

Bevan OFF Dirt Bike Co. (Exclusive)

2010-05-13T20:57:00.000-07:00

After a long and successful ride, I have been informed that Auckland street hero Bevan Cowan is officially no longer riding for Dirt Bike Co. He has told me that there is no bad vibes and everyone is still friends but he just wasn't feeling it. Should be interesting to see who picks up this piece of prime bmx real estate.

Parts Failure...

2010-05-10T00:17:00.000-07:00

...lets face it. Its has happened since you first got a shity second hand complete BMX and its still happening now. Wether it be a severely inconvenient flat or snake bite or something a bit more serious. Breaking any bike part (or body part) is a daily risk. Get used to it. Below is probly the worst one I ever had and is luckily well documented...

That ear spiking bang you can here is both drop outs on my year old s&m pitchfork xlts snapping straight off. Not good timing. HAA.

This bad boy happend on sunday at Jelly. Just a mellow sunday ride. Felt my pedal was a bit wonky when I was riding home, looked down and this little bugger was smiling at me. I opened her up a bit bigger for the photo. But had I not checked it and kept on riding it could have been a pretty crappy and sore ending to a part failure story. These cranks are ment to some of the most nuggety out there.

Tiddabades. Its kinda said like "to the baddest". Anywho, my friend Timmy from Wellington is the Singer in this pretty much unclassifiable party band. I saw them for the forth time I think last night and they are always so entertaining. They have an E.P out you can by from thier shows. But if Timmys drunk enough, and he usually is he just grabs hand fulls of them and throws em round the venue. Live they are so much fun. The band get down to business while Tim dances and get down to they electrifying party songs. They guitars are bright and drowned in loops and effects. The drums are fast and punchy and the bass keeps the songs driving along. Timmy howls like a wolf on the mic and get it happening on the synth on there latest track. The band gets good reviews from press and they are organizing a tour in Japan. So its exiting times for a very exiting band!

Get to a show if you ever have the chance. You will not be letdown!

Get at thier myspace page and have a listen and see what there up to.

i suck!

2010-04-17T22:11:00.000-07:00

Sup homies!

Im working up in wellington at the moment. staying near lower hutt and like a 5 minute ride from meiling park. The internet sucks balls at the place im staying. So no update or any thing.

Here are some things that i have been thinking about.

I miss Cash!

Wellington (and surrounding areas) fucking sucks and fucking rules at the same time. The weather and pylons suck here cos its so close to the sea and so exposed. But the people here (riders) are bloody good cunts.

Meiling park sucks. Sorry if you like it but my opinion of it is low. Theres like two lines that I ride. Rest is just gay ledges and shit. And I had the mean spill and am still hurting.

Upper hutt park is the business! Its got heaps of fun and weird stuff.

Wellington and suburbs has SO many spots! Street spots. Real good! Everywhere I go I see rad setups and gaps!

The riders here are all fucking nice and they all shred hard! But i cant help but miss my boys at home and the raw way of riding.

I got an iPhone so I have reached the peak in guilts cooperate consumerism. But holy shit is a awesome machine!

B1 and B2 must home by now. Those dudes party! You all should add them on facebook and look at there photos from there tour round NZ. There are some definite bangers in there.

I have bin lasering the shit out of so much stuff. Man its sweet!

Soup in a cup is the shit!

Wellington is home to some of New Zealands shaggiest and sweet dogs.

Iv never riden taupo and it makes me sad.

The takeaway roast place down the street is so legit.

I have had turn my swag on stuck in my head for like over a week now!

I might get a another kitten.

Travis needs to finish the EDH site. Soon.

If you read this you are a bigger loser than I am! Have a nice day! CHOW!

Yay Ya!

2010-04-08T00:34:00.001-07:00

Got my laser and just had a midnight BBQ with my vicious mutt!

2010-04-06T23:50:00.000-07:00

Stefan got in the mean deal car crash yesterday. When pulling into there flats driveway some idiot in a ceffy hit him square in the bum bum. Sounds like his whip is never gunna drive again and he hit his head really hard. Gaining some stitches, a decent concussion and a good stint in the hospital. Everyone is super bummed. Feel better soon homie!

I like these photos and its a good excuse to get em out in the open!

Green Laser!

2010-04-04T02:11:00.000-07:00

Green Lazers from Kurt Hohberger on Vimeo.

I just ordered 2x of these amazing little buggers. One for me and on for K-Wol. JJ has one and iv been repping it around the house. They are fun! Also they can cause amazing amounts of dramas like what happened to us on the kink trip in Queenstown. Jeez! Below is an interview from BMX Union with Catfish who started this...

Green Laser Phenomenon

There has been some chaos in BMX as of lately with the whole green laser pointer phenomenon growing. Over the course of the last year I was exposed to the lasers from a distance. Keeping my curiosity to a controllable level without really any over the top temptation of needing to make a purchase of one of these 50mw eye burning, distance shooting, sign explosion devices. That was until Baco. I’ve known Catfish had the lasers for the last year, and he had told me time and time again incredible things about them. I always joked and said I needed to get one from him. Never really amounting to anything just because he’s everywhere in the world besides Minnesota 100% of the time. We crossed paths a few times over the course of the last year and usually it slipped my mind when we were talking, or he didn’t have it on him at the time (which is kind of a surprise).

That was until I rolled into the 4Seasons parking lot while honking my obnoxious Honda baby horn behind his custom train horn in his car. He jumped out and said something along the lines of “hey, watch this!” and blasted a building with the laser a mile or two away. Then proceeded to make a light explosion on an exit sign on I-94 that cuts through Milwaukee.
“Holy shit”
That’s all I could come up with… It was better than I expected, and I knew I needed to play with one of these. The chances grew greatly as more and more people rolled into town. By the time Baco was fully underway there was about 10 lasers blasting from all corners of the building. I’m willing to bet there was no more than 2 minutes without a beam of light targeting somebody. Fast foward to the after parties and there was a laser every time you turned or took a drink of the Red Bull beer (I know, I didn’t know they made beer either… lol) So fast forward a few days after Baco and I’m talking to Micah Kranz about the good times we had. Then he gives me a link… Oh yes, this sought after secret of where to get these gems. I was accepted into this inner circle of laser. I had one of these bad boys on order within minutes and sadly, it would take about a week to get due to Christmas fucking the mail system up.

The day after New Years day my mail box was attacked and there was my new baby. Have you ever had something come into your life that has brought this smile to your face every time you see or think about it? How about something that can make you giggle like a little girl? That’s what these things do to a full grown man with chest hair. The party had just begun.

I took a brief laser driving test during Baco shining multiple women in the no-no places, and a few unruly BMXers in the eyes. I’ve come to the conclusion that any first time laser user needs some sort of “training” or at least words of advice because the second you realize how powerful these things are, you instantly want to fuck with anything and everything. I generally warn people that you can get something like 5 years in prison for shooting a plane (you bet your ass it could shine one) and that you will probably get your ass kicked if it rubs that giant man you want to shine in the eyes the wrong way. That, and if a cop sees you shining it at the bar across from the police station that they will probably assume it’s a pointer on a gun of some sort. It’s one of those “with this gift comes excessive responsibility” kind of things.

“What’s so fun about a laser? I mean you can just shine a dot of light on something… That would be cool for like a minute.” That’s what you would think. Since I’ve taken one in as my own I’ve done a couple things that already made it worthwhile. The first night I had it, I was driving and just seeing what I could hit with it. I realized road signs with the metallic features lead to some crazy “explosions” of light. I had some asshole go flying by me, clearly speeding. I shined the speed limit sign up ahead and the guy slammed on his brakes and went the speed posted. I then proceeded to shine every sign he passed as he went down the road just to mess with him. I’ve also found it fun to surprise unsuspecting people… I was at a bar recently and when people I knew or figured wouldn’t get pissed came through I’d blast them. I had a waitress at a Buffalo Wild Wings that was slacking, so I blasted her in the eyes… then proceeded to give her a 38 cent tip… on a credit card. Hell, last night I shined the waitress at the bar in the eyes and she said “Thanks, now me and my unborn child are now blind.”… Yeah, she was pregnant working at a bar… Where’s her sugar daddy?

The reaction people have to a big splash of green hitting them is as good as you can imagine. Jumping, jaw drops, eyes lighting up and even a scream or two. Shining into peoples windows at an apartment complex is good times, shining bouncers is generally always funny, calling dibs on a girl while shining their ass makes it very clear as to what you just called out to your friends, making drunk guys chase it around on the floor, pissing my dog off excessively, and getting girls attention are the “general” uses I’ve found. I’ve also come to the conclusion that if I get arrested for anything, it’s about a 98% chance that a laser will be involved.

The army of BMXers with a laser has grown, and there is even a full blown freestyle rap about it… Why? I don’t know. I think it’s just because if you ride bikes, you probably have a lot of fun. Lasers are fun, BMX is supposed to be fun… boom! So I figured I’d ask a few questions to the ring leader, Catfish, and then get some testimonies from some others who have this weapon of fun to expand on things.

When you picked up your first laser(s) in China, what was your first thoughts that came to mind?
Catfish- Oh man..the greatest day of my life! We were in Shanghai China for the Asian X-games and myself (Name drops) Garrett Reynolds, JJ Palmere, Eric Holley, and I think Greg Illingsworth from South Africa- all were at this shady black market where you can buy 10 DVDs for 2 bucks and fake Louie V purses. There was some woman sitting on the ground going “LAZAH LAZAH”. I looked and saw it was a green laser and I aint never seent one of those before. I bought one for like 4 bucks and walked outside with it. There was a huge skyscraper next to the market and I shot the laser to the top and I about shit my pants. It was like a LIGHT SABER. This is the picture I took because I couldn’t believe my eyes.

I went back in and bought every laser she had. Over the course of my next 3 weeks in China I bought just under 40 lasers to bring back. I gave away some as gifts and sold the rest. They cost me about 3 bucks each average and I sold most of them for 30 bucks.

Approximately how many triple A batteries have you gone through since this discovery?
Sweet Jesus. Easily over 100.

A lot of people have been asking where you can get these lasers. I’ve been told it’s an exclusive club from Jesu.. I mean, Micah. Is this true?
It’s kind of hard to find them but Maddog found a website that had them for 20 bucks. I twittered it and a lot of people bought them. Last time I checked they were sold out. Haha.

Has a laser gotten you laid and or any form of loving from a female… or male?
It actually works the opposite. My girlfriend hates the lasers and she won’t spoon with me if I have it. I have friends that have certainly used the power of the laser for good.

What are your top 4 uses for your laser?
Fucking with people that cut you off when driving, scaring people in other countires, shooting people in buildings, and lighting up street signs on the highway.

Has the X-Games and Dew Tour approved the lasers for use to explain “what happened” during an event?
X-games no. At Dew Tour- My bosses have warned me about it. The funny thing was that this year (Namedrop)Guettler had one and he would shine ME while I was announcing. Pretty Funny.

Have you had any trouble with the law because of the lasers?
Oh hell yeah. I honestly almost went to jail in Cologne, Germany. Me, (Namedrop) Maloof, and Miles were riding down the block and I was shining cars with the laser. Miles yells “COPSCOPSCOPS” and I thought he was joking but sure enough I shined a cop and buddy floored it up onto the curb, two cops got out and were NOT stoked. I was scared but they let us go. Got warned by a cop in Estonia. Freaked a lot of people out in Mexico. When I went to Iraq EVERYONE told me to leave the lasers at home. Fuck that. I took 4 lasers to Iraq and I had no plans of being bad with them. The first night in Iraq, Rooftop wanted to see the laser so I let him use it telling him no matter what “Don’t point it into the sky!!!!” The damn laser shoots so far that I was scared an insurgent would be able to see the beam and kill us. Of course Rooftop doesn’t listen and instantly starts shooting it into the sky. I freak the fuck out and snatch it back. Two days later we are getting a tour of one of the defense rooms. It was one of those rooms that looked like NASA mission control. Lots and lots of important people watching everything that goes on in Bagdahd and surrounding areas. This was serious. In the middle of this tour, a high ranking officer comes up to our group and says “Who is Zachary Yankush?” Just by her tone I knew I was in trouble. I raised my hand and she pulled me aside. She says “I want you to be totally honest with me, On September 8th at 00:13 hours did you shoot a green laser beam over the housing Unit D?” I about shit my pants. I didn’t waste two seconds to sell out Rooftop. “Yes, but it wasn’t me. I had the laser but I didn’t shoot it, it was Mike. I told him not to!” She proceeded to tell me how dangerous it was and how I could be sent home. They told me how they have cameras that see everything. I was so pissed at Rooftop. I told him not to fucking shine the laser and now I’m getting damn near kicked out of Iraq. I freaked out for a good 30 minutes when they all told me it was a joke and they told the woman to mess with me. Not cool.

I heard you have some “Don’t Stop the Lasers” t-shirts, and limited edition “DK/Monster/Nike 6.0 Laser Pointers” coming out? Can you confirm or deny this?
We have a lot of big plans. I have been working with 6.0 in regards to having “laser holders” attached to the Air Cushs. Still waiting on the call back. There is some other things in the works. All I know is you haven’t seen ANYTHING until you see Bestwick riding vert and shooting lasers at the same time. AMAZING.

What is it about the lasers that make them so amazing? The best way I can describe the laser to someone is like this. The first time I saw Star Wars..I wanted a light saber. We all did. I had to wait 20 years but I finally got one. Green lasers are the best thing to happen to me. As pathetic as that sounds. It’s true. I love the laser.

Tony Neyer – “The most amazing thing about lasers is the faces people make when you hit a highway sign from a mile away.”

Ryan Guettler – “I guess some people are amazed by small things. I can not leave the house without mine. You just never know when you need it. I love other peoples reactions. It’s so funny getting someone in the eye from 200 feet away and they have no idea were it’s coming from hahaha.
Plus my dogs go crazy for it too they will chase it for 20 mins straight. I had the little red lasers which I got from a pet shop just to play with my dogs but they only go like 50 feet then you can’t see it. Then I saw Catfish’s green laser and it goes about a mile. Theres just so much fun to be had. The best is sitting in a tall hotel and getting all the crack heads on the street they just bug out and chase it and stuff hahaha.”

David Grant- “Haha probably the ability to make any driver in the world instantly hate you with the rear view mirror shot.”

Clay Brown / Pusher Magazine – “The fact that it can get you laid and in a fight all in the same night is amazing! People love em or hate em!”

Micah Kranz – “Lasers are the new dishwasher. Just you wait and see. Seriously all you have to do is pull that fucker out, shine a glass of ice with it and your not only the coolest guy at the party, you have a conversation starter. Also, If you put it on hot girls it just makes them walk over to you, a tractor beam of sorts. I’m sure that they were given to us by Aliens and we are just now starting to figure out their powers now. Ruin jocks football games! SO convenient!”

Pissed off drunk guy – You shined me with that laser and thought you were going to hurt me. I’m ready to fight if you are ready to fight with your gay laser thing. I’ll mess you up!”

Bar Bouncers – “Let me see that thing. I bet you $5 you can’t hit that water tower way off in the distance…. Holy shit!… I was kidding about the money thing.”
“Damn, where do you get these things!”
“They should give us these to mess with people when they start fights instead of a radio.”

Brian Kachinsky – “Although I don’t own one, I’ve seen the green lazer disrupt the productivity and concentration of humans across the globe. From coast to coast, and as far away as places like Germany, Denmark and even Iraq. It’s an epidemic and I see no end in sight.”

Reed Stark – “lasers make any party a rager! need more than 140 lasers?!? WHUT” (Twitter 140 characters response)

The amount of power in lasers is incredible, and the addiction is spreading faster than Guidos giving herpes to unsuspecting Guidettes. Does some of your favorite pros and industry types make you want a laser? A little, sure. Getting your hands on one is really the key to this. I’ve been tempted to toss a link out to give you a chance at this with the hopes of it spreading even faster than a vampire/zombie world take over. I just don’t know if I want to be responsible for this 50mW Green Laser Pointer for $19.95 plus shipping with a sku of J47 WEB that has features like a beam can be seen up to 12 miles away at night, true 50mw factory tuned output power of 50mW, wavelength: 532nm, that is operated by 2 AAA batteries, worldwide take over…. Or do I?.

So that’s that… I can’t think of anything else that can explain the hype. I can’t think of anything else that could possibly make any less sense and probably prove that you just wasted a lot of time reading about the biggest thing to happen to BMX since the 36 tooth sprocket and The Come Up…

Holly Dunedin Batman!!!

2010-03-23T00:22:00.000-07:00

So, the weekend was awsome. Wanaka shredathon fun. One thing became painfully clear. Dunedin finally has a legit scene! I met this kid JV the super grom while rolling around drunk on the wet ground with vivid drawings all over his face, having the time of his life. Impressed. Braxton has been a friend of mine for ages. He is a very very lovable guy and is good on a bike. Instant bro points applied for beer bong skills and ginger moustache! Now tony is a super dude! He is a tattoo artist at DIG A TATTOO in Dunedin. In his spare time he does design for Metal bike co. and BONEDETH. And defiantly fits into that bmx category, if any.

These photos are from their weekend and the trip home. I herd that Braxton had to drink a beer in ever small town they went through. I believe the total was roughly 25. Get exited for DUNEDIN!!!

Fun fun fun and fancy free!

Morning after! JV^

Remember kids, BMX is a team activity!!!

Shred A Thon

2010-03-22T00:19:00.000-07:00

Tim Hales Shredathon 2010 was on saturday in Wanaka. Well at Wanaka skate park. The purpose being to remember a legendary NZ bmxer. I never did meet Tim but some legit dudes like Louis and Zombie Mike rep him hard, so he must of been a deece dude. And also to raise money for Wanaka Skate park extensions. Witch is a great reason to load up 3 car loads of BROS from CHCH and heap down to the beutiful southern lakes district.

The jam was run by TRUBMX james keane. He had done a sick job. The weather was against us with some fully shit wind and rain clouds surrounding the area. But that aside the day was completely successful! The riding was on point and everyone BROed DOWN hard during the day which everyone knows is by far the best part of jams.

Dr. Bz got some loteks for being the nuggetest of all the people doing airs. Louis from Cromwell was doing some kool tricks and won the prizes for wining. I won the most revolting canary yellow hoodie for, I guess for doing good lines in the bowl or something. But who cares bout that.

What I was most amped on was the grom quality and quantity. Lil shits fucking flying round the bowl boosting hips, getting flat and looking smooth. Perfect. Im pretty sure not one of then took a hand or a foot off. Good change from the DewTour mentality. Seeing these dudes hitting transfers that not even the older division where doing was awesome to see.

JV from Dunedin won a pink fly frame for being good on a bike and Monty, a Wanaka local got some product for getting jiggy in the bowl and looking good.

The after party was as any bmx jam event should be. Morally questionable and entertaining. Ill leave it at that.

I have no pictures to go with this post.

Thanks heaps J Digga for a sweet weekend.

Ba-gina...

2010-03-15T22:11:00.000-07:00

Ok kids. Bagina breakdown time.

Hanging out with the kink guys for a week made something painfully clear. Tony Hamlin is a sick bastard. Off the bike, and obviously on.

Here is a recipe for a surrogate vagina. Care of Tony.

Take a large banana. Cut the very end off it at full diameter. Scoop or squeeze out the banana meat. Dont waste it, eat that shit. Bananas are one of natures super foods. Put the bagina skin in the microwave for 3-5 seconds. Any longer and you risk some painful burns in delicate places. Take it out of the micro wave. Check temp inside the bagina. Repeat if needed.

You now have a finished BAGINA. The rest is up to you!

On sunday...

2010-03-15T22:03:00.000-07:00

we rode a local set of jumps...

This guy is fucking awsome. Even if you hate skating, watch this. Its probably the most entertaining thing iv seen on the internet for a while.

Sleaze showed me it. Lets be honest, they could be twins.

THEY GROW UP SO FAST...

2010-02-21T14:57:00.001-08:00

Hurricane Brads bucks party was in the weekend and it was expectantly loose. Here are some photos to explain the madness. Kinda.

I find the last one to be quite metaphoric towards marriage. hahahaha. Congrats Brad and Jo.

EDH Bars.

2010-02-15T00:43:00.000-08:00

Travis is so fucking useless at doing site updates. Like he should be embarrassed. EDH have some new stuff coming out and in the works. Iv been hucking the V2 Render Frame and its nice. But the coolest thing iv seen are the new bars. Namely the YOUR NEXT and Shooters bars. Both are themed on some local south island BMX personalities. So rad.

Also, if your around CHCH this Saturday boom down to JELLY at about midday with some coldies and come for a shred for JJz birthday. Puha will be there.

JJ moved into...

2010-02-13T21:24:00.000-08:00

my house. Rad! He likes to jump high and over stuff...

Dane Willis Injured!!!

2010-02-09T18:49:00.000-08:00

but that was ages ago.... Like 6 months or something, anyway its become obvious that he has been keeping himself very busy. I have heard from reliable sources that him and his girlfriend Erin are expecting a baby! That's deece. I also heard that Dane couldn't be happier.

My predictions are that it will come out of the womb backwards and will be dressed in only the most trendy fashion and colour schemes. hahaha

So congratulations and good luck Dane and Erin!

JJ is a good cunt!

2010-02-05T11:48:00.000-08:00

This has nothing to do with JJ but id imagine this boy would be a good cunt too. Get at SFA!

Jed Jam sounded like a success judging by the drunken phone calls and the guys that went to dunedin said it was rad. Dicks.

Heres a few photos. Just coz.

Eamon and Greg the Americans bikes got taken off them on saturday night. Well they let some dudes ride there bikes around at washy and they buggered off on them. From what iv herd anyway.

Eamons bike was an all black Fit Dak and Gregs was a......dont no, but its all painted a fucking gross colour and is quite noticeable. They both have colony stems and will probly be spoted together.

So keep an eye out.

Isnt he cute. Awwwww

Some party antics...

2010-01-24T01:00:00.000-08:00

from the last few years.

Plenty more where that came from too. I doubt anyone in these photos would have a reasonable explination for what there up to for the most part either. NICE

Your next!!!

2010-01-23T20:23:00.000-08:00

To me this is fucking amazing. If you no PUHA, which you should, you will no that he is 100% straight up BMX to the bone. So this is very special. I cant wait till I have Daniels penetrating cocked eyebrow staring at me on my next set of handies. I have no idea of what the dimensions are but I'm sure they will be nice. So to travis of http://www.edhbmx.com/ thanks for keeping shit real. Every one should get some of these. Im sure they will help with hop bars and peg manuals.

Blenhiem...

2010-01-23T00:40:00.000-08:00

This is a video of mainly the Blenheim lads. Its a year old but its still fully entertaining. Edited and mostly filmed by Stefan. Some of the riding would be nearly 3 years old id say. Reminds me of some dang good and very hazy times.

As a closing comment and an intro to this video all I have to say is....PUHA IS FUCKING SHINING!
