San Jose Grand Prix Recap, Debauchery, My lil interview on Driftzone and Stay Strong Stephen Murray

Submitted by jarod on July 31, 2007 – 6:00 pm5 Comments

1st things first,

For those of you that saw I posted some news about Pro BMX’er Stephen Murray and his injuires.

Check it out I received this message via email:

I know everyone has been wondering how they can get their hands on the silicone bracelets that we made for Stephen Murray. They read “Stay Strong Stephen Murray” They are one size fits all and the same quality as the Live Strong bracelets. These are limited quantity so make sure you get on it right away.

As of today, July 31st, 2007 all donations to the ww.stephenmurrayfamilyfund.com of $6.00 or greater will be mailed a wrist band.

We will update the site further to give you a place to get the t-shirts that every rider wore at the Cleveland Dew Tour , so be sure to check back in the next couple of days & watch for bulletins to be posted.

I did get the chance to meet up BRIEFLY with Mr. (buzzed) FATLACE himself, Mr. Arcenal he handed me a secret package containing one Official FATLACE hat, (yet I have a HUGE head so it won’t fit) and 2 Fatlace tee’s EKIN and F1 bite shirt, they’re AWESOME.

No pics just memories, -single tear-

This weekend was San Jose Grand Prix and I got the opportunity to do my “thing” and announce the Formula Drift Team Competition.

I had the pleasure to hang out with 2 people I’ve met before but was stoked as they lived in the Bay Area so they had to come see their “homies” Chris and Mich. Both Nick and Jamie added to an awesome weekend.

If you haven’t heard of Mr. Rodin you need to if you’re into getting your ink on.

Nick’s link at BLACKHEART

Nick Rodin is an AWESOME tattoo artist, check out his work at Blackheart Tattoo in SF in Mission area.

Now time to enjoy some hillarious videos!!

These were taken at The Caravan.

GOOD TIMES!

A little preface to the “Neck Dance”, some girl could move her head side to side in a weird looking way.

So Nick and Dave “Edge” took a stab at it.

Awesome,

1st one up, Nick Roding, hillarious!!!!

Davey “Edge’s” turn to try it out!!

Now, Who loves Bon Jovi? I mean c’mon Bob Jovi is awesome in a group singing session.
