i. went to darrens jam like the rest of nc, the only difference is that i only took one photo and it was of a braided chuk rat tail

bday jam and more

Belated bday jam went off and it was awesome. A lot of people showed up and a lot of fun was had. I ate my share of BBQ and still eating left overs. Leigh put some pics on the front page of the site so check them out too. My girl took some pictures with my camera (see below). Also some pics from an indoor skatepark session in greensboro with fellow Pittsboro local Rick Scott and my boy from school Aaron Brenner. We met up with Eastern Filmer and Wiston local shredder The Mangler.

 Enjoy the photos

Stay warm and ride yo bike.

Winter is Here.

Some how we got a long extended summer over here in Utah. I got to actually film a few clips at a secret spot that'll be blown out by the time the vid drops. Oh well. You saw pics here first, or in a skate mag. They seem to surface there first. I got no problem poaching there stuff. What else? I got my elbow drained of 70 cc's of fluid and a nice cortizone shot in there and I'm all fixed. Anyway, had some good night sessions lately. I've been going to 50/50 waaaay too much. It's just a fun place to chill with all the locals and talk smack.  Our first real storm is dumping right now. 20 inches in the mountains. Powder! That is why I live in the mountains. Also we have a secret indoor ramp club that isn't so secret ramp club happening close to me. I just spent my Friday night moving all the ramps into the new location. The new indoor park in Layton is opening soon too. Lots of fun ledges and stuff. Should be opening in Jan. There is also talk of indoor dirt jumps? We'll see. Could be a great time to visit Utah.

Lightning Bolts Show

I had the honor of attending the Nike Lightning Bolts show in Hollywood and even had a plate in it. There were alot of BMX legends including Bob Haro, Byran Blyther and Mike Dominguez at the show. They played the Nike video and served refreshments. I couldn't beleive how many awesome number plates were there! Oh and Kelly Bolton showwed up and a good time was had. Check out the photos and visit www.athleterecoveryfund.com/lightningbolts/ to see all the plates and bid.

 

This was what I saw when I walked out of the airport.

Taj's plate was my favorite.

update

I just got back to greenville to get ready for exams. After exams we get a month break from school so im very excited and very ready to get out. This past weekend i went home to finish my ramps for my birthday jam coming up this weekend. I finally got them done but still didnt get to ride them much. guess ill wait to ride them when everyone else gets to ride them.

I took a break from working one day to go to raleigh and ride street with Eastern's own Leigh Ramsdell, Eric Holley, Zach Rogers, and Seamus Mckeon and the my NegSrc boys, Trey Doig and Steven Keeling. Mangler came along to document the goodness and shredding occured. It was seriously the most fun i have had in a while. I found myself smiling randomly because It was so good. Everyone killed it. Wait for the Eastern video to come out to see it.

I need sleep.

Adam Banton News!!!

Oh and dont forget his new album soon to hit the streets and make the young girls scream... for their lives.

how about that adam?

Kelly Bolton Art Show

I've known the Kelly the longest than anyone else on Eastern, always knew he was into art and stuff. But I was super stoked for him when I read this in the Entertainment section in the L.A. Times!! Crazy. Security was tight, so sorry for the crappy pictures. Congrats Kelly!! Good luck in the future, don't forget your friends!! Haha.

This year Kelly Oliver Bolton ends 2008 and in a simple artistic impression on you. Possibly to hush the urge for today's complicated life style? Or is he stating modern man should take note of the economy and live conservative? Only one truly gifted man knows this answer, and as always, he's an enigma that pulls the ranks of a classic Sasquatch story.

These are deemed the "Days Inn" collections.  Kelly approaches a simple yet refined view of one of his team mates. Clearly he admires this person and has a hard time accepting the impact this handsome person has left on his feeble young life of 22, yet in some of these master pieces there is animosity towards side burns, pointy chins, and the long lost art of Front brakes.
  As always Kelly's mystic persona leaves his fans, critics and lovers of art wondering who this intriguing team mate is.
