Stuff Thats Happened in Seattle So Far

Day one: Delayed by Jet blue by an hour, get into seattle around 6. Taxi’d our way to Jakes house and put our bikes together. I ended up breaking my seatpost clamp and axle bolt lock nuts with my super-human caveman strength. After a 5 mile uphill climb, both ways, to the biggest REI in the world I got my parts and got shit sorted. Ate some ‘za and crashed.

Day two: Started the day filming with Jake at the Insane Clown posse headquarters. Joe tries to wheelie high speed on the street. Gets sucked into the wheel of a U-haul truck and almost dies. Somehow rolls out of the crash without a scratch. Only fatality was his selle italia gel seat. Rode a few miles over to a bank spot on the other side of the bay. Homeboy Justin came out and ripped shit. Later, Joe and Keven got caught up on season 2 of the office.

Day 3: Rode down to Elliott Bay bike shop. They have a really sick collection of vintage bikes and are also the home of Davidson Bicycles. We met up there with Daoud, a mechanic there, to use his car for some high speed hill bombing footage. Later we went over to meet up with some homies to film. Got some wild ass trackstand clips with Alender(sp?) and Tom Mosher from Canada. Also found that we were in town in time for the newly renamed Fast Friday, now called “Future Tense.” The event was the shit, the people were awesome, and we got 40oz PBR’s. yeah bitches. In the end, I won the pity round of footdown and got a dope Bancho shirt, Joe got third place in the second place round of the messenger race, and Keven got pushed into a wall by a big boy. We came away from the event with the biggest smiles on all our faces. Oh yeah, I ripped my powergrip and did a sick backspin on my bike.
