Eastern Bikes Blog

I got drunk and I ate chicken.

Listen, im not a music fanatic or anything but i like the stuff. it's not often i hear a new artist or group i actually am interested in or even remotely consider purchasing, but Nashville's own Those Darlins is an exception. i dont know what it is, be it the twangy western nashville influence or my soft spot for all-girl groups, but i would highly recommend checking them out. i can't really find anywhere to get their music for free, but i have been looping the four songs on their myspace over and over, and you should do the same. come get wiiiiiild with me.

Snapshots from Minneapolis.

No words this time, just some photos from leigh, seamus, mangler, nick, and eric's excursion into the greater minneapolis area. personal highlights from the trip include my first flight, getting super sick, killing a dog, getting lost in minneapolis by myself, ripping all of my pants, gelly, slamming into a wall and not remembering anything, bleeding, more barfing, ben austin, skylar, some sweet tricks, the book, rainbow road, and hot tubbing. i only took photos like 2 days out of the trip but i got a few awesome-o's. just lookie.

Fun at Eastern Bikes

Below, you can check out a few snapshots from a pretty typical day at the eastern bikes warehouse location. Rediculous happenings occur almost every day here, but this is the basic day-by-day rundown of how we does.

spring organization.

prototype 1" fork we're currently testing. two words, peg.bosses.

you scared to paint your sidewalls. bossman corley isn't, thats for sure.

good old zach rogers seriously showed up with his own personal can of wd-40, equipped with its very own coozie! what a little girl.

do yourself a favor and never drink this horrible substance.

product testing. yea, they can withstand some abuse.

fat man scoop.

e-luv has the look and caress to melt your panties off.

you don't know a thing about eastern until you've been initiated into the hot n ready membership club. this is by far the most important aspect of any day at eastern bikes.

There you have it. i have the best job in the world.

current events of high importance.

Hello yawl. Currently, I am without a camera or an internet connection. I feel as if I owe a blog post to every nationality that may check this site. So until I am graced with proper editorial machinery, let this brief selection of current events tide you over. Today is 4/20 brah. How did I celebrate? By baking myself chocolate muffins and taking a bubble bath. I had arranged to spend the day in chapel hill today, romancing with my little woman and checking out a band (eisley) later tonight. Unfortunately, the fact that I am yet a boy kept me home bonding with my strict parents. Can you blame them? I am in fact an idiot. It is interesting when complete strangers are angry with you because you changed your bike setup. I've never fallen victim to this until last night. Fame is a bitch sometimes. Sarcasm is my main squeeze. If I ever get the chance to have a signature frame, I think I'd call it "every kid at the skatepark". I don't know what I'm talking about. Italians were smart for inventing baked ziti. If you're on the market for underwear, let me sway you. Hanes briefs, NOT boxer briefs, are the best product ever sewn. Make sure you get the kind with the cotton band, not bare elastic. And if you are like with me and want to purchase my affection, I wear either a youth large or a 28 in mens. I wish I wasn't coming to you from a 3x2" screen or else I'd provide photographic evidence. But trust me, any panties that come with a lifetime warranty and a no ride-up guarantee are all right with me. 2010=eb grim panties. Sadly enough, that is all I even have going on in my life right now. One day ill post a real blog.
