Empire BMX--Bad Idea Premiere Pictures

Funny, I had forgotten about having a point and shoot at the Empire Bad Idea Premiere. Glad I found that XD card. Is that video out yet?

James Shepherd--Homeless Trash

Possibly one of the smoothest sections ever. James Shepherd is a ruler!

Life and times on a BMX bike.

Well, to celebrate a good first three months of starting this Blog back up, we have decided to have a little give away. With the help of Empire BMX and Mutiny Bikes we will be choosing 10 random people from the comments on this post and will be sending out care boxes to each of them. So get ready to post something in the comments and see if you can get some goodies. 

I am not sure if this was the original trailer for Homeless III "Highway To Hell", but it is the the opening title sequence for sure. The slap at the intro was not in the original intro so that is what makes me think that this might have been a trailer. I remember that slap being in the crash section. Here is to hoping David Parrick has made some good progress on getting that "Homeless" box set ready.

It looks like every rider in south Texas at that time were riding some sort of Haro bike. I think we kept that company afloat for a few extra years. Those frames used to crack so much, it is a surprise that we just didn't give up on them. Oh, wait. We kinda did. Thanks James and Ruben. Homeless Bikes might have been short lived but I will never forget that moment in time. Neither should you.

UPDATE!  Added a few more sections.

Homeless Bikes Blog

There hasn't been anything new posted there in awhile, but there are a bunch of good scans of ads and bike checks over at the Homeless Bike Blog. Worth a look at just for some of the great ads.

Lee Sultimier Homeless Trash section. One of the best video sections ever.  Bummed they removed the audio track.

Video frame grabs.

Remember when video frame grabs where used for magazine adds. It seem to start in the skate industry and bleed over into the BMX world. Here are a couple scans of adds off the back of RIDE magazine taken from the Homeless Bikes blog.
