I received those PK Ripper DC Shoes the other day.

Thanks Ken,

And with the shoes came “Joe Kid on a Stingray, History of BMX”.

I watched it and it’s awesome.

It’s just rad how people, just keep on keeping and and not for money, well I’m sure they hope to make enough to get by but inevitabley for the love of the “game”.

Please go and watch JOE KID ON A STINGRAY

Let me know if you’ve seen it or if you do please let me know what you think.

Now this evening in SF, those of you in the bay area go to this because I can’t.

Looks radical…

I just thought I’d share a littl bit of my childhood inspiration and what cartoons molded my wet cement of a brain when I was kid growing up in Nor Cal and SAN DIEGO.

P.S. I was born in 1978 so if it gives you any idea of my generation.

Just a WARNING, this post might waste some time but it’s well worth it, you’ll totally enjoy it especially if you were born within the same time period!!!

M.A.S.K.

The cartoon ruled!!! I had a bunch of toys from this show as well.

the INTRO song that got you all hyped!!!

Here’s the rundown of the different M.A.S.K. Agents, Condor rocking out, Rhino I mean those are awesome names!

Now Centurions, these guys ruled as well.

I had the Max Roy figure they were all crazy how you could snap on their gear and weapons.

INTRO to Centurions!!!!

Supposedly this is only 1993, but these stick out in my mind as well for some reason.

LITTLE JOHNNY JET

An older W.W.II era plane begins to feel that he’s becoming obsolete in the emerging era of jet flight. He has trouble finding a job and returns home to his wife and gets a surprise. He’s going to become a father.

John the plane received a final blow to his ego when he discovered his son was born a jet. He decided to enter a race against the newer models of planes to show that he still had worth, but he soon realized that he was in trouble after his propellers flew off his wings, and he began to plummet. Seconds later, out of nowhere, he got a surprising thrust of speed. He realized that his son had grabbed his tail and was keeping him in the air. He saw that they still had a chance to win the race. John told his son to lay on the speed, and the proud father-son pair blew the competition away. John and Mary are commissioned to give birth to an entire fleet of new jets.

STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Parker Jet aka PJ is awesome!

aka Rickey Kim, Mr. Kim Says, I always enjoy seeing Rickey’s “hole in the wall” or swanky J palces or K Town eats.

I admire the actual commitment of snapping pics of the food and how akward I feel taking food of a pic.

Maybe it has something to do with my size and I’m a big guy so it seems more obsessive than with Rickey it’s more of an artistic thing based on his stature.

Regardless,

We have good eats and eateries in Gilbert AZ yeah Arizona, killer Thai Food at

BOLA THAI

Monday, Jul 23, 2007

By Casey Pearce, Chargers.com

A busy day in the Chargers front office Monday assured that the team will have all of their draft picks in the fold Tuesday when rookies report to Chargers Park.

The Bolts agreed to terms with wide receiver Craig Davis (first round), linebacker Anthony Waters (third round), cornerback Paul Oliver (fourth round, Supplemental Draft), tight end/H-back Legedu Naanee (fifth round) and linebacker Brandon Siler (seventh round) early in the day and completed a contract with safety Eric Weddle Monday night. Davis’ deal is for five years, the other six picks are for four.

“It’s the objective of all teams, players and agents to get the contracts done and get the players in on time,” Chargers General Manager A.J. Smith said. “We’re thrilled that we’ve accomplished that goal. Everyone is going to be here preparing to prepare for the 2007 season together.”

All six players along with tight end Scott Chandler (fourth round), who signed a four-year contract in June, are expected to be on the field Wednesday for the start of rookie workouts and Saturday for Training Camp Opening Day.
