I've been pretty busy working both my jobs, riding, updating pfg, trying to improve my riding/photo skills that i've neglected this blog. Which kinda sucks... I kinda suck. I've been super frustrated with my thrasher giving me problems and tire clearance. But crimping the frame seemed to help. I ended up buying a new Leader Mordecai which let's hope once fully assembled I'll be happy with but who fucking knows... I just want my destroy frame....
Here's a link to my flickr which has about 10 photos I've recently taken. All digital which blows but at least they look relativley decent

updates
so I'm finally done getting my fork ready to ship back to volume.
i'm hopefully gonna have that shit shipped off by tomorrow...
also I yesterday while outside my house I was practicing some new tricks.
don't have this down yet but almost. just need to get a little stronger to pull the bike up with 1 arm but it's close...
it's a fakie keo 1 handed. after the first 180 it's a 2 handed keo. turbo spin that shit and after about the 1st 360 take on hand off while you and the bike are verticle and grab the front wheel over the bars and spin. my goal is so spin without my other arm on the bars but it's gonna take a while for sure...
once I get them down I'll try and film it. I also want to throw a barspin in there too when I get a new fork n stuff...
oh and for origami's sake i didn't flick it but I did a little star design, it's called Pochi Bukuro 1
it looks alright but I used white/purple & on theoppo. side its white. Very hard to tell the design. I really wasn't thinking before I started but whatever that's another one down.

Origami?
So i've always loved origami for the longest time. I've been doing it since who know's how long. So since I don't update the blog with photos/info as often as I'd like I decided i'd do this.
I'll create a new piece of origami everyday. or every other day as best as I possibly can. So today's first one is this.
A heart with wings. Pretty easy took me a couple mins to complete.
here it is!

Finally helped Haley get rid of her bigass couch for a smaller little love seat.
We also rearranged her room and cleaned up a little. Kenny also hooked it up with a sweet mini fridge and we just have to finish cleaning it. I'm pretty pumped!
Today myself, Josh, Haley, and Colin all hung out and got J&J's Hawaiian BBQ and holy shit. I fucking died. I ate soo much food. We got to Josh's and I yakked everywhere. Well in his bathroom. We ate around 1ish and I haven't eaten anything since then. Holy shit...
I NEED A NEW BIKE FUCKKKK

photo update

Taken Feb 15th, 2010
Now for a quick update
So from Valentines day weekend
Sat. got my bike together and packed shit up and drove to San Jose with Haley, Scott, and Kelsey. Saw a ton of friends and entered the trick comp. It was a blast and I landed a majority of the tricks I've been working on. Though myself or Dongho didn't place I felt we did the best besides taylor whom is on a totally diff level.
Hung out with Alex, Rosie, and Jackie and had pizza that night. Then went home.
Valentines day Haley and I went and had lunch, took a fatass nap and had to dog sit that weekend. It was cool but the house we stayed at was super creepy. We then had dinner with my sister at DQ and my cousin hooked it up fat with ice cream. All in all was a good day.
Monday went to SF with Colin, Kenny, and Xavier. As we got on the train we see Patrick getting off to head to work and we clowned him a little for not going riding with us but hey he didn't have much choice haha. We get to SF and ride a couple spots. I fell a few times and landed a couple cool tricks. Then headed to the Island to meet up with Alex and this rad dude named James was there also. We head to In and Out and ditch Alex (lunchbox Northbayfixed) and he calls me 10 mins later saying he's snapped his Chainring bolt on his bmx cranks. We couldnt do much for him but tow his ass 4 miles down embarcadeo to his car! Fuck that shit! We all piled in his car and drove to San Jose. We met up at I-D and kicked it with all the Sjf dudes. Me and X went to City hall to ride while Alex fixed his shit. While there we rode with a bunch of kids and I was bunny hopping up this 3ft ledge and then 180ing off it. Landed it 5 times 1st try and when I did the 6th one I snapped my down tube near the head tube. I was soooo pised. So I'm trying to put the pista back together and rock 28c tires! whoo hoo. FML. Well we then went to Kennys and hung out and all got pizza. Then I came home and that's bout it. Should have a edit from the two days up soon whenever kenny finishes it.
Well if anyone out there reads all this and you have lots of extra income that's not being used and you feel like being a hero in my eyes. Sponser me or hook me up with a 54cm Gorilla Kilroy. I promise you your money will be well spent and I will throw down tricks like no tomorrow... Sounds dumb but I know I can achieve my next level of potential with a bike like that...
well signing off for now. Later
