Tabletop Friday

I was pleasantly surprised wednesday afternoon when i got a visit from Chris Volkwine aka Baboon. Fresh from a long day of pouring and finishing sidewalks none the less. Here we have Boone laying one flat on the new and improved 8 ft quarter in the backyard that is known as Delmont Skatepark. A few things to note about this 300+ lb tabletop: He's on a custom 22inch fbm, his bars are chicago, his seat is higher than mine, its a 45/13 gearing, and he is still better than 5 ft out of an 8 ft ramp. This is what bmx needs. You may also recognize this fella from this video, most notably at the 2:47 mark:

stay tuned

Things have been happening in Jersey. Expect a full update complete with photos soon. Disregard the drunken ramblings of Kirkman, mentioning the demise of this blog. He's just upset that he lost a race to someone half his age. October 5th, delmont jam. Be here or be queer. Over and out.

The Ktown locals have been busy this summer. good stuff.

When i say Tabletop! you say Friday!!

I found this photo of myself last week. years of being tossed away in the closet has stained and faded the colors. Yea I could photo shop it all out and restore it, but this pictures faded condition is running parallel to my memories of this era,... fading. I don't remember who took this, I don't remember what demo this was for. I only remember two things from this day in Knoxville.
 1. The roll in......   Ive never been on a sketchier set up than this, even still.  We started on top of a U-Haul box truck parked about 20 feet in front of a 5 foot box ramp.  Attached to said uhaul was a 4 foot wide, 25 foot "sectional" roll in made out of scrap boards that were lying around City streets skatepark.  Then damn thing sounded like an old woman's knees on a treadmill when it was lifted into place.
 2. Will Love....   Will was injured this weekend and didn't ride, but he did jump up on the box and proclaim to everyone that I was gonna jump over him. Will is at least 5 11" id say, and given the roll in combined with a new "living" height bar, it was adding up to the most traumatic drop in of my life.     The term "Go fast- pull up hard" will get you through almost anything in riding, and possibly life.  This pic is proof.     Its Friday folks. Whether you are hitting a rail, a launch, the bar, your boss, or a wall....go fast and pull up hard.

Nathan Diclaudio rides an FBM Bellwitch frame with front and back brakes, enough said.  This beautiful flatty will make Steve Crandal proud. Friday folks, now get out there and be somebody. Photo by J.R

some still shots of moving objects.

The rain has held off long enough to actually bike ride on the weekends.  Here is some shots from the last riding trip.

Austin Phillips with a man sized bunnyhop nothing into a steep bank. bunnyhop NOTHING!

You can tell by my awkward form and tin man joint bending that I don't do handrails often haha  but nonetheless, I still hop on em sometimes. (if they are fun sized like this)

Damn you sunspots!! If Jake Hunter has photoshop ha can fix this pretty pic of himself.

This curvy was hard to get into in my opinion, Austin and Jake had no trouble with it.

Jake zipped around this thing like he was being chased by a leopard.

this update is Jon Harter approved.

tabletop friday/ XXXXXTREME showdown saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Friday night folks..... rest up because tomorrow marks the 8th annual FunFest contest in ktown. The show kicks off right around the time the sun blasts lava into your pores. so chase each beer tonight with water. Now for the tables.... Anothy Carver and Tim Lewis give you a 2 fisted gut punch of flatness to put you down for the night. ......

hey!!!! bmx got it's 1,134,567th web edit.

Here,s some dudes falling down to get you through your Tuesday grind.

Booher-down friday?

Friday night folks...... yea sometimes this site is all about the flatness, but sometimes we give you the turndown service with the reach around. Jake Booher shows you two ways to get twisted this weekend. Forward or reverse, may your travels this weekend be stretched and weightless. 

tabletop Friday.... honor edition.

I'm taking a different approach to this tabletop Friday. Why not honor the tabletop Gods before us with some of the classic tabletop photos that made bmx history? When it comes to the tabletop Gods, the supreme ruler is.... Vic Murphy. And here it is folks. The hands down most famous, most badass, flattest, perfect one footed table ever done in the last 30 years. Off a curb! We are starting this tribute at the top, and hopefully Lord Vic wont mind me stealing this photo. Friday night folks, stare at the perfection, get pumped and go get rowdy.   www.dirtbrosbmx.com
