Monday, Monday, Monday!!!

There's always a reason for us to party and this Monday, November 23rd, is no exception. Our man Cuyler is gonna take an extended vacation and hang out with Logan in Austin. He had such a great time when he was there last . . . he just had to get back. Plus, he gets to roll with the Log Dog!

Anyways, we're gonna throw him a little party and show some love just so he remembers where home is. We'll have a grill up and running, so bring a dish with enough to share. The coolers are already there and will be stocked with ice so you can bring beverages. If you're of age, BYOB. Again, if time permits we'll bring out the bunny-hop poles and the Grind box so don't forget your bikes. The BBQ will be going so bring some food as well. If you have any questions please let me know. You can go ahead and comment over here so people will know what you're bringing.

Cuyler's on a plane this Thursday so make sure you come down on Monday at 8:00pm and give him a little kiss . . . or a big one. We might even have some special guests.

Shoots,
SoCal

STAY FIT PREMIERE



We are premiering the hot new DVD from Fit Bike Co., "Stay Fit" this Saturday night at BIKEFACTORY Waipio. As you all know, a lot of the Fit team has left since the completion of this flic so this will be the last DVD from them including Chase Hawk, Dakota Roche, Chase Dehart, Russ Barone, Trey Jones and Rob-O Morales. I'm not sure if I'll have DVD's available for sale but we will be taking preorders.
This will be an evening of wine, women and song . . . or at least beer, BBQ and bikes. Same basic game as last time . . . be here about 7:30pm and I'll start the flic at 8:30. We'll have a grill up and running, so bring a dish with enough to share. The coolers are already here and will be stocked with ice so you can bring beverages. If you're of age, BYOB. We'll also try to have some folding chairs on hand so there's somewhere to sit if you don't bring your own.
Again, if time permits we'll bring out the bunny-hop poles and the Grind box so don't forget your bikes. The BBQ will be going so bring some food as well. If you have any questions please let me know.

OLD SCHOOL is right!

This past weekend I got invited to the 2nd Annual Team Safari Cycles BMX Reunion. This time it was combined with Team Eki. For those of you who don't know, there were five entities supporting the early days of BMX in Hawaii including McCully Bicycle, The Bike Shop and The Great Outdoors. Safari Cycles and Eki Cyclery are on that list. BMX was huge in Hawaii back in the late-70's and early-80's and these are just a handful of the people involved.



Now I never personally rode for any of these teams. In fact, all of my BMX racing was when I lived in Southern California. The closest I got to a sponsorship from any of these shops was a Profile sticker pack from Jimmy T. With that being said, it was an honor to be invited to hang out with these cats and swap stories. It's amazing the wealth of talent that came out of these islands and the hurt that some of these guys put on the mainland riders.

To think we went from this . . .



to this . . .



Imagine what will happen with Hawaii riding a National caliber track.

Riders ready, watch the lights!

old school jam





So this past Sunday I was lucky enough to meet some of the old school riders rode freestyle back in the day when it was just that freestyle having fun on bikes. They have been meeting at Waimalu courts across Dave's ice cream and Grace's every Sunday. So if you have the urge to bicycle boogie lube those rotors, grease that chain and head over there around 5ish. No bullshit just good times.
