Robert Castillo Interview

When I was in the 7th grade I played basket ball for the good old Canyon Middle School. On one road trip to play in San Marcos I was walking out around the gym to go to the buses when I saw two bike riders riding flat. Turns out it was Robert Castillo and his brother Ruben. Pretty amazing that I have known these guys for so long thanks to these little bikes. Glad to call them my friends. 

Here is an interview that Rad Dad put up on his site with Robert. Go give it a read. Lots of good stuff there.

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.
