Yesterday morning Mike Cottle showed up with a digger? Yep! Pretty badass. He moved a full jump in like 30 minutes while we all just watched.. Cottle has been doing loads of work at the trails, Showing up almost every morning to either dig or sometimes Dawn Patrol session it. Speaking of Dawn Patrol - Cottle just had an edit titled that from Sputnic the other day. Ben Hucke came over early morning and filmed an edit of Mike on his Iphone. Click the link HERE to scope it!
Also Mike Cottle runs an online store called Wasted Youth, Which is now carrying a very limited run of WOLF BRAND Mesh Back Hats, Along with loads of other stuff, So check it out...!!!
Scrog was one of the heaviest bands in the early to mid 90s. after breaking up in i believe 1995, They played one reunion show in Maybe 2004, Which ended up being a crazy ass time... So 6 years later finally getting together again to play another show was amazing. Felt like going back in time to when i was a little tyke with X's on my hands going to every show in Tampa. Anyway.... It was nothing but amazing!
Everyone got pretty wild.
Matt Coplon has been in the Tampa hardcore scene forever it seems, Doing vocals for another legendary hardcore band - Reversal Of Man! Who split in 2000 and then teamed up with the guys from Scrog to start another band called - Light Yourself On Fire! But anyway, the guys in Scrog asked matt to come up for there last song and do guest vocals... Just to say "it was amazing" Thanks to Scrog and Matt for a great night.
This fella has been a amazing friend of mine for so many years, and in no way is that a bad thing! So why would he NOT ride for Wolf Brand... Jose kills it on a bmx and he is even better at Partying which is all good with me! But anyway, James Covington recently started a Bmx company called Native Bikes. Joey now rides for Native Bikes as well and this is his new Bike, also loaded with Shadow parts as well. One more thing... The Case Magazine sticker on his forks made me want to let everyone know to check out Case Magazine! Pretty rad because its an independent Mag done by Bmxers and is loaded with rad stuff!
Casselberry Trails through my Blackberry... Usually the Trails don't fully get going till like late December or January, But this year is a whole other story. I've only been down here just over a week and have already rode them a few times, Its crazy, but amazing!!
Aaron, Mike and Joey have been digging loads for the last few months, along with some others. And since I've been here I been on it with those fellas as well getting up at 7 or 8am (sometimes).
Not only are the trails ripping good, But all the animals of Casselberry have been in full effect as well. Cats in the sink, Dogs in shades, Dogs helping dig... Its pretty badass if you ask me!
New for this year: The Pump Track in the backyard of the trails... Its rad! Good spot for all the buddies who have wanted to ride here for a while but were nervous to just jump into hitting the trails, And for all the young bucks.. Basically saying - Its always a good time here at the Casselberry Trails..
Here we have Wolf Brand team rider and great friend - Joey Juaristi! Joey just got put on Native Bikes, which is based out of Casselberry Florida, and run by Casselberry Native James Covington... Check out Native Bikes site by clicking on the link. Enjoy!
ANTHEM II... Probably the biggest and most awaited video ever in bmx was premiered here in Pittsburgh, PA. the other day, Thanks to Stew Johnson and Shane from Round2 bmx shop. (both on stage above introducing the video)
To kick off the night the first Anthem was shown, Which came out in 1998, and a lot of younger kids hadn't seen it yet, so they got a little history lesson. That wasn't all though. In between videos, Jason Stieg's (who had a section in Anthem 1) band played called "The Best Evers".
I wanna thank Everyone for coming out to this awesome event, and to thank Stew and Shane for making it all happen and also to Leastmost.com for these photos that i stole... Thanks
Not only dudes showed up in costume... Above: The sisters (Sarah & Shannon) showed up, and thanks to them the party got better since Sarah brought a strobe light dvd, and Shannon Brought the speakers so the music bumped all night.
Wolf bub (Bobby Valentine) dressed up pretty good, or you can say didn't really dress up at all... Bob wore nothing but a lamp shade to cover his thing in the front and a little American flag to cover his bum crack. Bob made a new friend this night who was so into his costume, he mocked it with a milk carton. The carton with its end cut out, only covered his junk, with nothing covering his crack in the back... NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A keg of lions head beer was bought and gone in about 2 hours or less. This was quite a good party, with a good amount of dancing, and laughter, and everything good. Too much going on in the above picture, so I'm not gonna give a description for it. Just figure it out!!!!
Ryan Popple and his babe Katy showed up in opposite roles. Katy was a bearded lumberjack (shown above) and Mr Popple (2 pictures up) was a cute chick.
Chaz Mann (who just left us to head back to the UK after 3 months with us) was some sort of metal head, or bum, or something... Whatever he was it looked pretty cool, and with his babe Missy showing up as a sexy librarian, which is always a good one... Thanks to everyone who showed up and had a swell time!!!
Ryan Wert! Damn.... A god amongst humans? A alien disguised as a person? A boy? A man?????? You make the call people....
I recently spent a week in Austin Texas where Wert has been staying for quite some time now staying with Stew Johnson, which is the very same spot i layed my head, so i got to hear all the wild and craziness that comes out of his mouth. Wert is one of my favorite people to be around in almost every way! Always up for fun, always entertaining, always looking fly. Not sure where I'm going with any of this, but whatever...
In the top photo: Ryan Wert gets some ink work done on his leg.
This wild little tyke killed every spot we rode in Austin, That's for damn sure! Watching him ride the Empire ramp was quite a treat!
Here Wert Lays the bike out with only one hand gripped on. What we'd call a: One Handed Table
Of course being the strange but amazing little character he is, Wert rips on a scooter as well...
Airing out a few feet on Stew's ramp in his yard.. Woohoo Wert!
You can't just scooter a ramp in any clothing, DUH!!!!!!! Wert shows you all what to wear while cruising a scoot. Enjoy!
Kyle McRory made this little edit of some cruising recently... Sucks, that the trail season seems to be coming to an end, or already ended.. Till next year
Some boys and I took a hiking/camping trip deep into the forest of PA. Where we ended up at Wolf Rocks, Pretty sweet if ya ask me...
Pictured above is the boys (Jeff Smee, Chaz Mann, Gary Demartine.) and myself on Wolf Rocks... This place was amazing. We ended up setting up camp about a 100 feet from these cliffs at a random spot. No one fell or jumped from the cliffs so it was all good.
Taking down the tents in the morning, I just watched Chaz do all the work cause i wasn't in the mood to do anything except make spears and throw that at him.. Go check this place out if you have the chance.. its gorgeous...
Halloween! Ryan Popple and his lovely lady Katy invited a slew of hooligans to there house for a pre-Halloween/get weird party, and we'll just say it was quite a hoot.
No stranger to parties, Bobby V. showed up in nothing but a cloth covering his naughty regions and a stick with a shoelace tied to it.. Not sure if his Halloween attire could be found at your average costume store though..
