The Island

If you haven't noticed, the past many blogs are bike related (sarcasm), but that's only because I'm a loser and no one wants to hang out with me this break =(. So I meet other people as lame as I am and bike...haha, just kidding...kinda. Anyways, today I went to the island like I usually do to trick and be a hipster. First I went to Freewheel to pick up some straps. I bought these nice leather ones that are hand made in SF by a messenger. For $60, they look really nice, now lets see if they hold up as good as toshi's. I met up with James, Chris, and Justin. Later a shit load of people came. Kids from Vallejo, Rich, Carl, Edsel, Joel, Terry, and even James Newman from Macaframa and Mash fame. Chris landed 180's and encouraged us to try them. I suck at them, but Rich got em pretty good. I bounced around 6:30. Family is gonna be going to Las Vegas tomorrw and I'm not going, so I get the whole house to myself for 2 days...party anyone?

My new straps, sorry for the shit pics, but it was too sunny
