Can you Kickflip?

I can almost guarantee that any skateboarder over the age of 15 can likely expect a starry eyed kid to approach and ask the golden question, "Hey, can you kickflip?". Let PJ and stock metal help prepare you for the inevitable. Snap, float, flip, bolts,land...roll away.

Today: I tried getting a Job with Apple!

Yeah, looking for a second job, really want to grind and stack my paper and just stop livin check to check. Of course, fund my FC properly too. Went on my 2nd interview for a part time position, it was ok. My intervieiwer was some dude named Brendan and he seemed distracted, not really into what was taking place. Noticing this I kind of fell off my game and minutely lost interest. Weird. Oh well, hope I get it, if not...pursuit of happiness continues.

New Ish for 2011

With 2011 just 3 days away, I got myself in progress mode and decided I would change a few things within my lifestyle. On the list was to definitely get back into peak shape. I feel my body changing and it's not awesome. To combat against annoying carb face and love handle city, hiking and fixed gear biking will be my new thing in 2011. Now don't get yourself all riled up over the word "fixie", as many like to associate that culture with being too hipster, it's just that the bikes look dope and are my key to cardio supremacy and the lean/cut frame needed to stay sharp.

Now, with this new idea, I've embarked on customizing a colourway for my bike. I've decided to go with a "theme" for my frame and so here's a look at what I currently have in mind:

This shoe is of high importance to me and one of my early loves growing up in LA. As a 7yr old, I still reminisce about the impact it had.

I like the patterns shown here and so I'm focusing on good color placement to pull off freshness.

Above view shows how clean and round it was. This will help me decide on where I want specs of red to be placed on the fixie frame.

Here's the template. Similar to what I'll be pickng up next payday, except all white.

818 to Anaheim John

My boy John currently drives this all original US Spec S4 TurboII FC. We've been talking recently and he's converted back to a mostly OEM style setup while retaining aggresiveness with these "Starion" OEM deep step wheels. Last I heard, he's even throwing on the og Mazda front bumper too. Check the rear fender pull, Stock Metal!



Here's a back shot of the stance he's running.



Having already driven inside of this FC, I like the style within and feel he chose good sticker placement. Peep the glove box, I feel you John!



Floss that Metal my man.

BBSs on a FC3S

There's something so right when you have BBS mesh on a FC. I think it was something just meant to be. Probably why they came as OEM wheels on the FC3Cs and Ifini type 91 FCs in Japan. What I like about this photo is the simplicity. Could do without the wing, but it's alright though.

A little inspiration

I'm not even mad at this. Ok execution, fender pull needs a little more of a clean finish. I like that fact that he went wide and retained OEM fender. I can def use this as a template for things to come.

Check the rear "goblin fender" style on this brack one. Rocking my BBSs too...bastard.

Yep, my boy Jordan from the UK had it. Sucks he sold the FC, but it's imagery still lives on through my blog :D

Whyyyy Jordan????

Hmmm.

I'm noticing blogs on the net which have a certain format they follow. You post a pic, then drop a few lines underneath the photo emphasizing your point. Think I'll conform...my pre-existing post style just doesn't appeal to me. Sheesh Uche, get with it!

Attempt #1

Ah hah!! Think I did it! Blogger, not so friendly to the post procrastinator. Me at an event 12/19/10 Flagship Society X DTA X L-Con.
