Doctor Who--The Horns of Nimon

Little slow at work today, so I am catching up on some classic Doctor Who episodes. I am somewhat sorry for never seeing this Tom Baker episode. True classic. I am just about done with the first two parts. Will post more later.

Kris Markovich Foundation Video

Another great skate section. Markovich rules.

Eben Ficsher 10 front brake tricks.

Really cool video. Something BMX doesn't have enough of right now, more front brake riders. Could also use a lot more Eben Fischer footage.

Random photos

Shot a few random photos on the way home last night.

Gutted Linens' N Things off San Pedro next to the empty Circuit City.

I was spotted by this guy taking pictures. He looked like he wanted to take a bite out of me.

I will heading back here with my bike soon.

Rusty wire. There where huge piles of this wire laying in the parking lot. Anyone laying a new patio anytime soon?

Up close. I think I need a tetanus shot now.

AT-AT Day Afternoon

I think I found our next dog.

BMX Action April 1980

Before Eddy Fiola was crowned King of the Skateparks, Bicycle Motocross Action had already named Tinker Juarez as the King. This iconic cover of Tinker laying out some style at the Lakewood Skatepark is ranked up there in my top ten covers from this time frame.

Not too often will I post up one of the editorial pages from any old publication. But when it includes artwork by Mr Bob Haro himself, I just had to get it posted. Here is a link for a bunch of his awesome drawings. Go get yourself a new desktop image.

I had run many a set of these Tioga Comp ST tires, I feel kinda lame for not knowing that the ST stood for Stadium Tire. I get a black mark for that against my old school knowledge. Good to see the overall design of the Comp ST didn't change much over the years. Great tires.

Tinker Juarez may be known to most people as a winning mountain bike racer. But his roots run deep into BMX history. This spread of him tearing up Lakewood Skatepark is proof of that. And I really could care less if anyone says anything about his knees in that table top picture. Awesome style on a bike that has wheels that weigh more than my whole bike now.

Update to Monday's post.

It seems I forgot to post a picture in a post a couple of Mondays ago. Had to get back and get it added. It seems side hacks are making somewhat of a comeback. Seems like a good thing. Would like to see some race action with these at the track.

Looks like a fun time. The guy's monkey on the left looks like he is about to jump ship. Also noticed that the rider on the right is running one toe clip. Was this normal back the?
