The new Ratboy

A couple posts down, I'm pictured with my childhood hero, Ratboy. He's a legend and irreplaceable, no one will argue that, but I think the modern day equivalent might be Troy Merkle. I've watched this vid so much I figured I should just post it here.

A bunch of extra clips=A new web video

I've amassed a huge pile of extra clips that have no other use than to be put on the internet. So here it is. I plan to have two more edits done in the next couple days/weeks. It all depends...

Angie the Anti-Theist

Just noticed this quote from a blog I just stumbled upon, Angie the Anti-Theist:

"You know that God made man in His own image when God hates all the same people you do."

Anon.

I kinda like it.

TECH RAT IS ALIVE

There was a fundraiser last night for Sara Cowling--wife of Kore owner, Ryan. She must undergo a second surgery for a brain tumor discovered in 2008. Like many Americans, she doesn't have health insurance, so the bill is going to be gigantic.

The AZ bike community gathered together in the Kore parking lot for some riding, drinking and a good cause. Among the regulars was the legendary Ratboy. If you don't know about the Tech Rat, get familiar:

Shine 3

Turbulence

He says he wants to ride again, but we'll see... Someone send this dude a bike!

Everything is Bigger in Texas.

Like this Suckometer here. The larger and more prevalent these things are, the more a region typically sucks. This particular Suckometer rests in West Texas, and it's supposedly the largest one around. I'd believe it, West Texas blows harder than Tenacious D.

Tulsa has spots!

On the way to my parents' house I stopped off in Tulsa for some riding. This video was posted up about a week ago, but hell, here it is again anyway.

Also, I'll be heading south again come Tuesday to get my ride on for the remainder of winter break. Hit me up if you're in AZ and want to ride.

I'm outta this hole

I'm heading north and east tomorrow bright and early to visit the fam in MN. I'll be stopping in Tulsa for a rest and ride, then on to Baco for Saturday's contest, before landing in the worst place to be in December. I'll be sure to take plenty of shaky iPhone pictures of the awesome scenery the fly-overs have to offer. For now, here's a picture Erik Hilburn took of me today. I love blastin' holes.
