The goergenator.

Shot a few Photos of Matt the other day and found an old one that I forgot about. He did the no hander twice so that the kiddys could get in the shot. What a guy!

when you arrive in delmont with red eyes, you leave with red eyes.

The party scene in Delmont was in full force Oct 5th. In between kegs, burgers, dogs, horseshoes, and all around brain cell killing, there was bike riding. Some good bike riding at that. There was also some carnage with a lacerated thigh and hand. One was bike related one was not. If you are familiar with this blog, you know the characters, you know the antics.
   Points of interest here are 1. Mike Paton peg stalled the wall ride. 2. 6 pack challenge had a real winner. 3. Vomit was eaten again.....  as always it was a good time. till next time....unless our livers say otherwise.
Kev Little getting patriotic.

new additions to the park.


Thank this man for making it happen.


everyone hated the coors light I bought for the challenge. hahaha

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.

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.

want to be featured on TTF?  send a pic to amateurhourbmx@gmail with your name and youre in. that simple folks. You don't even have to be on a bike, passed out on a table gets in. Ill post a pic of any nonsense you wanna send me

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.
