Nick’s new HD camera is amazing. About the size of a matchbox car this thing captures in full 1080p! We went to Santos on Sunday to test it out and got some good footage:
Unfortunately, there was also some bad luck to be had, as Patrick went OTB to his shoulder and earned himself a classic shattered collarbone. If you are a sick puppy, feel free to watch the clip below. Keep in mind that he is landing on 100% rock:

It’s been a long time coming, but the Trampoline Bike rides again! I wrapped some old jeans around the sharp bits and we let her fly at my birthday party this past weekend. One highlight of the event is seen above, as Jordan lets a stretched Superman Seatgrab fly.
There will certainly be much more to come in the Trampoline Bike world, so expect a video soon. Until then, this video of me poppin a few tricks off should suffice: Nick continues to ascend the ladder to greatness… or at least to an uncomfortable encounter involving his tweensies: Check out other videos from our recent rides on Fred’s YouTube Channel
The Tour de Felasco. A rite of passage in the North Florida mountain biking scene. A 50 mile off-road eco tour featuring single-track, double-track, horse and hiking trails. And a really good time… Me and Fred have known about the Tour for a couple of years now and this was the first year we manned up for the ride. Our boss Alan has done it each of the 6 previous years and he ensured us that it would be an enjoyable experience. The $50 entry fee ensures a spot in the pack and a nice long sleeve shirt… if you can get them to take your money. Luckily for us we spotted the registration form the first day it was available and got it into the mail the very same day. Good thing too, since Registration was closed after the very first day. That is how popular this ride is. Read on for the story, pictures and a GPS of the trails.
Behold readers, for today is a glorious day. The V1.0 launch of the Villin Cycle Works Flash redesign is upon us. Click the pic or otherwise head over to http://villincycleworks.com and check out the new web presence. All feedback is welcome as the site is still very new and will be further improved. This website marks the first active website I have deployed in Flash. I learned the language just for this project and am satisfied with my abilities. I am brainstorming some cool Zensky projects in Flash, although I doubt I will have the main Zensky site in it. Maybe the BMX Database I’ve always wanted to do could have a flash front end. Certainly would give me more options with the UI. Hmmm…. Have you tried it yet? Elbow Jousting? Oh, it’s just the gnarliest, most intense, manly sport ever. And now it’s on the internet. That’s right, the official site for Professional Elbow Jousting has gone live. Read up on the latest victories… and DEATHs. Keep checking back for information regarding local tournaments. This thing is gonna be huge boys and girls. Get your elbows ready and charge!
A little over a week ago my girlfriend Ryan moved back to Gainesville from Jacksonville. This had been something I had wanted to happen for years and now that I’ve got the pimped out house it made sense. To celebrate we had some friends over to the house for BBQ, alcohol, and a little Guitar Hero action. Here you can see Anthony’s girlfriend Molly with Ryan at the beginning of the night.

A few days ago Anthony, Nick, Matt and I drove out to hit the dirt jumps. This was only the second time I have ever been there and the first time for Nick. Last time we came I didn’t get too brave so I would just hit some speed runs around the park and a few of the smaller bridges. This time I was feeling good about how I had been riding the past month and was ready to get ballsy. I started out by learning how to hit a double. These jumps are pretty large and narrow for someone trying to learn but after a few tries I was able to nearly clear the entire jump. By the end I was still casing my landing but was always able to ride off clean. Click through to continue reading or check out the Dirt Jump Picture Gallery. |

Golfing is the jam. Beautiful courses, tasty beverages and good friends. In fact, I don’t know why it took me so long to take up this hobby. I have had some old clubs for a long time but just finally got serious about golfing. To get me going Nick set me up with his spare set of clubs and just recently Stan (Molly’s mom’s squeeze) fatted me out with a really nice set of drivers. I am not the greatest (yet) but really, being good at golf isn’t what golf is about at all.
