While trying to cover the daunting task of coming up with new frame graphics for the 06 line, i’ve managed to come up with these gems. It looks like something i drew amidst my short attention span in 9th grade global studies. Great. I did come across this picture of Phil though, from a while back at a Backyard jam. Phil’s bike , the PW Moto, will have some nice new features, for the new season. Phil has been busy with Super Rat Machine Works in Kansas City where he has been making Prototype parts for Vegas. Coffee, Cigarettes, a Machine Shop in a cave, and a Professional Wrestlers Mustache, thats Phil….

Theres no way Aitken is going to beet me, this ain’t bike riding. I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve, and i’m not talking about alley oop darkside 1 footers out of a 10 foot cement bowl in Utah. It should be a doozy regardless of who wins. Check Kink’s site for more details. Reezenblaster is buying us all food and beer that week, and paying for it with his Buddy shitpants’ credit card. Party! Rumor also ha sit that Manowar will be playing at the after party. They are from Auburn. 30 minutes north of Ithaca. Ronny James Dio is from cortland, also 30 miles away. They have aroad there called Dio way. Apes. Weekend…….. audi!

Derrick Girard drove down in the 65, and cheered as BF did the transfer of the contest. Van killed it too. Tony Hamlin ate all the free food he could, and watched Aitken get made fun of by a South Philly cop for talking like a girl and wearing tight pants. Dave King was probably the highlight of the event.

In other news, Ryan Nyquist got ina scuffle with Dunny at the denver comp, and was lumped up by the Dunny Bunny for use of the seat stand manual in his run, details are skechy at this point, but we wish Ryan a quick recovery.

Later that night was off to Minersville, where a bunch of us camped out and hung out all day for Shawny Shawns Jam, which is becoming an East Coast underground classic.
This years Highlights inluded Tony Cardona killing the trails and himself, and chilling his crew of animals from the Vercoe trails in Illinois. Robo was in the house, dressed as a pumpkin, while Chase and BF absolutely killed it. Maniac and yeagle impressed as well, along with toting a 7 pound can of beans, and 360ing every jump at the trails. The day was so much fun. Apefest 2005.
Keep posted this week for more info…..

They woke the bum up that was sleeping in there, and he shit his pants. This weekend is a Holiday, Celebrating our Independance, many Americans will be celebrating by filling up the gas tanks on thier SUV’s and driving someplace crowded. I hope to end up in the woods around a bunch of bikes. Ken is headed to NYC to check the World Messenger Championships, and enter footdown on his fixed gear. Thousands of Bike messengers will be bringing the Ruckus to NYC, and partying with little regard for the price of gas. Sounds super fun. In other news, Dave King and Gilly start digging the Gravity Games Jumps at FDR in Philly next week, As strange as that is. Tony Cardona has been chillin’ in Arizona thispast week, but will be on the East Coast this weekend. Leif Valin is riding Flat in York and drinking coffee, as well as utilizing his deadpan humor, while working part time framing artwork for strange men. Not much else, If anyone see’s Arata this weekend buy him a beer for us….holla!

There is a fundraiser in Ithaca again on Saturday July 2nd, to fix the park up, and keep it from sinking. Show up and eat some food, ride some ramps, and watch Erbles shred in a game of SKATE.

Rob was the first person to loan any of the FBM crew a bike video a million years ago, and it was none other than “head First” where we first learned about Jawbreaker, and Mat Hoffman’s strange sense of humor. Rob is an ape, and also runs American Icon screenprinting with another friend of ours that grew up riding with all of us, Andy Camay. Andy gave me custom FBM Long underwear last week. Party! The other Photo is from Guav, a native Ithacan with some 80’s street riding. Guav was one of the first freestylers in Ithaca, and actually shot that photo last week (it only looks old for athenticity purposes), for an 80’s retro article for Details magazine. Ryan Corrigan is still in Joplin Missouri with Wessal and Ty Sty. He said its been 114 degrees and Ty works in his underwear and workboots only. The park is supposed to be sick though. Dave King and Gilly are booked all summer building dirt courses for all the TV events, and will be in Vancouver for a month for the Metro jam. Fisher moved to Temecula California the other Day. In other news, John Corts is the smartest person in the world, and “ApeHanger” Derrick Girard signature bars will be available from FBM sometime this summer. HollllllAAAAA!

Mike “the mangler” Mcqueen is in town, helping save the FBM video from the fiery depths of the 21st century blues. Hopefully that project will be done sooner than later, as I come closer to flinging the computer out the window as each day passes. Kelly Baker mentioned that he made a “big Bike” or a tall bike, over 8 feet, and that when the chain popped off, he realized that he forgot to tighten the handlebars, and took a good wreck all from up above.
Rumor of a wild contest in Philly soon, the “bone death” challenge, being organized by Sean Burns, i’ll post more info about it when I find out what’s going on, I have heard about a ring of fire, animals, strippers, bums, and a long jump challenge onto a rail…. OUTRAGEOUS. keep posted…..

Not much in the way of news, Stateline skatepark in Fort Mill SC,is closing its doors, Corey and Droo are cool dudes, and that park hosted the first ever Last Call bicycle comp a few years back, and we were loaded up with TONS of fireworks. Supposedly Jim and Tammy Faye Baker bought the building and are opening a Cracker Barrel there, under the Heritage Amusement park theme. Look for Team Major Air from Cleveland in NY this weekend, listening to WASP and other 80’s metal bands. Holla…..

Aaron also rides for Empire, and if you saw his part in that video, you would be shitting your pants just looking at the bike he rides. APE.
Shanton Wilson is back on Ape status, look for riding pics soon. Don’t Forget the new sizes on Deployers (20.25″) Pw’s (20.5″) and Capones(20 3/8″). Kerry is selling these things like crazy. Crazy like the Ratt house. Today is also the longest day of the year, and a full moon, so get off the computer, get on your bikes and have some fun. Pronto…..

Call up Kerry “the Big K” Sayre at Last Call, to order some new FBM stuff, or just chat about Rick Thorne, the Gravity Games, or maybe even ask how Curtis the shop dog is doing. In other FBM news, Aaron Ross had an upset stomach last night, Tony Hamlin is almost done with High School, Cameron Wood beat Fuzzy in a Poker tournament, Tony Cardona hates being called “tiny” and Shanton is riding again after a long injury. News From Billy the kid, Mike Tag, and Deploy Master Derrick Girard- the were 2 days late to the worlds because the Germans wouldn’t let thier sketchy Van across the border. They snuck in.

Phil says DMC was bowling on an 8 foot 1/4, and knocked Mirra into Kerry Sayre and Deuce, and a fight nearly broke out. Tony Hamlin is featured on the new a Coaltion wallpaper download. Tony is also a big Ape. Product news- New revised seat post clamps that are not screwed up are in stock, and we are working on new sizes on some of the frames. PW moto will be in 20.5″. The Capone in 20 3/8″ tt, and the Deployer in 20.25″ Toptube. Order 400 of these so Kerry can Get Gold plated Teeth for his customized special anniversary edition VW. That thing is faster than my Laptop. Much Faster. In other FBM news, Big Dave threatened to weld John Corts mouth shut, if he didn’t quit singing “pour some sugar on me” by Def Leppard while running the tumbler in the machine shop, Curtis slept through the ruckus. Dave King narrowly avoided a robbery at gunpoint in south Philly 2 nights ago, by telling the armed assailant he was an Ass, and that he only had 2 dollars. Dave King ain’t got shit.

Tony Hamlin, Twin1, J.pavia, Jeff Harrington, the Baker Family, The Farm crew, Chris Hancock, Office Max, Hallman, R-unit, The big Job and a bunch of riders and skaters rode all day. Tony ate shit on the big bike, trying to up the boxjump. Kelly and Catfish rode tilts and Unicycles. The Big bikes got lake jumped. A cop yelled at me. He got stoked 5 minutes later when I jumped a cop car. Sort of. We ate food, laughed, liisten to the Ramones, got flat tires, catfish heckled people with the PA, we all got heatstroke and sunburn, and an old man with rollerblades ate shit on the box as well. The Last Call van made it to jersey on the way to Animal, and the transmission shit the bed, so those gus didn’t do shit. Dave and Ken drank 40’s in some bushes, Corts complained and the Big K was not stoked. the curse is back. They never made it to the jam, but they did get to ride 6 miles after the towtruck driver left them on the side of the Hi-way. Holla at a tow truck driver.

Show highlights include the Shook booth, anyone that checked out the FBM stuff, Robbie Morales’ sick stash mullet combo, The new premium sprockets, and all the smiles people had. Then Friday night hits us like a safe dropping out of a hi-rise building. Loition, Dity Bird, and Lucero all play a video premiere party, and it ends up being more of a rock concert than anything. People were stoked on the video, Dirty Bird was hilarious, and Lucero pretty much stopped the show. Literally. Loubickle rapped during

If you work at FBM, and you are not cleaning the basement, or editing, there is a slight chance you are chilling with Big Dave eating Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwhiches where the Ghetto Comp stood only 8 months ago. Dave is psyched that the Race Bike, the Bitchin Camaro is going to be the frame for BMXPlus’ ultimate race bike, and even recieved a call from Speedwolf (forgash’s dog) to say congrats. jeff and the Big K are stoked the race stuff is going well too, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at Kerry, he hates smiling. ATTN Tommy, Find Shawn ARATA, and bring him to FBM this weekend, or you are both in deep shit. Let the Apefest commence…….

Scott Towne, thanks for the shoes, and the the pics of Dane”buck ass” Wild from Michigan. Dane is an Albes rider getting some help from FBM, and his name alone should get him an award, he also apes it hard. In other FBM news, we are all busy getting ready for Subdivision, so keep posted….

He’s is responsible for the infamous “pig wit’ wings” tattoo on Dave, but that tattoo is not his flagship.

Check Luceromusic.com f you don’t already know about them, they are a favorite in the BMX community, and did the Jawbreaker cover of Kiss The Bottle that Ryan Corrigan rides to in All Time Low.

We wish him, Angela, and Chopper the best. In unrelated news, Mike The Nightmare Haigas called out of the blue to say he was stoked on the 10 year DVD, and that his ramps were in one of the old videos.

FBM head of Security was in the house as Kelly Baker did opposite wallrides to opposite tables to get the season rolling. Kelly was no doubt excited after his encounter with Brett Marshal last week, as well as the weather getting better. Keep posted for more news, and check your local shop for the Deployer frames, which are now officially available, and DIALED! Seriously, that frame is awesome. Holla…

While visiting, we went to the site of the Fat House, which burnt to the ground a few years back. 2 of the Original Fat House Players, Mike Tag and Myself are pictured here, where the pool table probably used to be. If you check out some of the old FBM videos, you can see some of the good times that happened in that very spot. It was weird seeing a lot where we used to live, but its also pretty cool to remember the good times that went down there, in the earlier years of FBM. Ft.wayne is one strange place. In actual news, we are currently in Louisville, filming, and Billy Ashby is in the house. Billy, known as the pride of New Albany, is a fishing enthusiast, and was also coming close to 180 tailwhips today. Holla… more news later!

Mike Tag, Cam, Office Maxx and myself are travelling around filming this week, after the Albes comp in Novi. Cameron won the comp, and the 2 Tony’s (hamlin and Cardona) also made the finals. It was an all out apefest, and the Big Dave peanut gallery was in full effect, as were the Twins. While all this and more was going down, Kelly Baker flew out to Colorado with Rick Thorne for more TV work, and did a bmx experiment with Bill Nye the science guy. More details on that to follow. Juan was part of the experiment, and the result brought back a mohawk, and a smurfy mushroom shirt. Holla atcha boy.

Kelly sent this pic he shot of the Biker in Black while they chilled in Seoul for a few, inbetween events. KB flies back in tonight, for work at his regular job, and the Circus coming up in Newark Valey with Brett Marshal, who was one of the stuntmen in the movie RAD. That ain’t no Bullshit neither.

The Tours are cool, if you didn’t know about them, basically Big Dave and Ken show anyone who is interested, how bikes are made, the entire process. We do it on the last Friday of every month. Most people are stoked on seeing what goes into making a good BMX bike. Handbuilt frames and forks are harder to come by these days, especially ones built by dudes who ride, so check it out next month, you might learn something. If you are Lucky, Snoop Dog and Dre Daywill be in the house, we sent in a request to the management. Not much else today, holla if you have some news for us.

Look for that at newstands, and what not. The Other reason those 2 are so stoked, is the band photo, its “Tiny and the Little Billys'” a new Rock Group that got a lot of attention at this years South By Southwest Music Festival, in Austin.

Random FBM News:
The master of 80’s metal John Corts caved in to local brakeless peer pressure and now shreds the course sin frenos. Disco Dave Harrison finally built himself a new frame and has been spotted riding again. He is also considering getting another dog to keep Curtis company. Jeff Harrington tore something in his rib cage when he did a no hander on the mini ramp at ECT and got his arm stuck on a pipe in the ceiling. For those of you not familiar with the mini ramp at ECT, it’s real mellow, and most humans can’t get anywhere near that pipe. So I guess that makes Jeff not quite human. The ever verile Ken Musgrave returned to work yesterday after almost two weeks off looking after his girlfriend and brand spanking new baby boy named Declan. Jim Bagg has been designing ever more dialed fixtures, lamenting the end of the ski season, and looking forward to the kayak season. If you live in Eastern Pennsylvania and go white water rafting or kayaking this summer, you might just run into Jim on the Lehigh river where he hopes to work as a river guide.Curtis completed obedience training and is learning to listen when you tell him to do things like don’t bite the UPS man.

That’s about all the news I can think of. The rest of us bozos aren’t doing much aside from work. Thanks for checking in, and keep on pedaling.

Tomorrow, we are having Dinner with Neil Diamond, at a “sweet caroliine” music festival in LLano Texas. Ryan Corrigan got us free passes to the event, and did not fart as much as Stew Johnson who ate Taco Bell for the past 7 meals. Mike Tag is in the Carolina region of the United States, buying up all the 1983 Volkswagon Gti’s he can find, and Kelly Baker is in NY aping it hard, listening to Saxon’s “Denim and Leather” track, and making a guest bedroom for Dunny. Dunny is reported to be moving to Newark Valley and getting a job at “spilled the Beans”, a coffee shop/ internet cafe, that specializes in Howard the Duck paraphanalia. peace out.

Dave got psyched and Hi fived him over the box jump, Derek yelled “DIALED” right afterwards. We then went to GATTILAND, a pizza buffet gameland, and watched some kid win a dancing contest, and Ron Metcalf win an Ashley Simpson poster playing Wacky Duck. It was darn tootin good time. Tony Cardona aped it hard as well, and was very happy about eating pizza after a skatepark session. He was over heard saying ” I really Like Pizza…” to Phil Wasson, who replied- “me too.”

After some good street sessions, we all went to T1 for a BBQ ramp jam, and tons of people showed up, rode, ate food, drank beer and watched the apeshow go down. Tony Cardona killed it. Huge downside whips that even had Taj talking. Not Bad. Many Heads were chillin, Steve-o, Parrick,Santana, Friemuth, Bob Skurbo, the Rathouse crew, Paul Buchanan. Tons of people, even the Gute. It ruled. Big Thanks to Taj and the T1 guys again. The Dave King deplyment show was even in effect. Pw celebrated the arrrival of his new blue frames, by popping his shoulder out landing flatbottom. Helping someone pop there shoulder back in is almost as fun as driving to Texas to get Bronchitis. Holla!

We just received a few heaters courtesy of the landlord and Spaceship engineer Jim Bagg has begun testing one of the new units. Jim has found that, while they don’t do much to heat a huge machine shop, they do a real nice job of roasting hot dogs. Jim used his Yankee ingenuity, some welding rod, and one of the new heaters to make this handy hot dog rotisserie unit. So while it may be cold, at least we have tasty hot dogs to warm our bellies. It’s times like these that bring to mind the immortal words of Kelly Baker, “I love hot dogs – the good ones!!!”

In actual product news we are busy shipping the limited edition translucent blue PW-Motos.Click Here to see more photos. If you would like to get your hands on one, call up your local shop or mail order and have them give Last Call a shout – 607-729-2803. The new blue PW’s are going fast, and we should have limited edition blood red capones in in a few days also. Check back for pictures of the Capone when we get them.

In FBM road trip news, c_diddy has apparently fallen ill with bronchitis and is wasting away in a ditch somewhere in Mexico. Either that or he’s still in Austin taking antiboitics and nursing himself back to health. Choose whichever version of the story you like best. Keep your eyes peeled for more road trip updates as c_did’s strengh returns to him. Get well soon buddy.

He is a pretty shitty looking guy though. Everyone in Texas is sick, and taking robitussin too. Timmy Martin already stole my hat, and We all got flat tires yesterday. Party.

I don’t know what goes on with that guy. Him and the Maniac in the same town as nutter and the ratty AUSTIN CREW is bad news. A squirrel on a leash, Taj on the T1 ramp, and Bellydancers have even been witnessed so far in the past week. Keep Tuned. PW shows up tomorrow,

If you are wondering if it got wild, check this picture of Nutter’s hair after the video shoot. Joe Simon helped with the editing, and it makes almost as much sense as the last commercial. Kerry will be stoked I’m sure. I feel like shit, so I’ll get a better update on here in a day or so. Holla.

Speaking of flatland, Leif Valin is in town spreading the good word, drinking coffee, developing new products, riding, and making us all laugh with outrageous jokes. Here’s a sample: what do you call a sailor that can only say the letters A, B, and C??? Lost at C!

I don’t know if many people remeber Al Smashu, but last night Captain Morgan, the cousin of Admiral Nelson, made him walk the plank, and he was eaten by sharks. Happy Birthday to FBM affiliate Scott Towne who apes it hard and is turning 40 soon. Congrats on that, and his pending family man-ness. TGIF beotch!

Big Dave and Hallman have been snowboarding alot lately, and are planning a trip with the infamous Dunny Bunny, who has also been shredding the slopes. Dunny had this to say-” I just got back from a week in Denver and

He bit people, took his clothes off, man handled E-dog, raised hell, and then drove off into the night. He called the next morning and asked if he did crack. Kelly Baker was at the warehouse this week, inspecting frame, and taking care of general quality control, and making sure Jeff Collins cuts transitions properly on the new ramps being built at East Coast Terminal. Fisher crashed his brand new car, while driving home from buying a dog. It’s a pomeranian dude, it has papers. In other weekend events, Fuzzy, Berringer, and Elf decided it would be fun to call me at 6am, and babble into the phone. I have no idea what they were saying, except that Matt has the cover of the new Ride, and Fuzzy learned Nac Nac’s finally. Who Knows….

Anyhow, the Last Call Crew is back From Mega Tour, and I posted a couple pics, from the trip.Harrington brought Mike Laird’s goatee back from the trip with him as a souvenier. Not much to report, aside from a pot of coffee just getting brewed, and Curtis biting 2 people in the last 2 days. That dog is crazy, and he came very close to being kicked out of Kennedy’s fried chicken for a week, for stealing a pack of Newports, and some Mac and Cheese. Where is little Billy from Louisville? anyone know? holla at us. In team news, Ron “the Michigan Mauler” Kimler is preparing for parenthood, as his wife Marcia is 8 months pregnant. Good Luck and congratulations to those two lunatics. Ron says he has been busy and what not, but still aping it hard at woodward west. Mike Tag is in Kentucky at an Easyriders convention, with Leland, and Fisher bought me breakfast today at Hal’s Deli, it was awesome. Fisher rules, Kelly Baker started riding flatland with Tunney and Leif, and has already pulled the elusive stubbleduck, switchstance. He also got an equilibrium, not the KHE one though.
Gilly is in Austin, and it’s raining there, but the Texas Death Rattle will probably be in effect tonight, keeping Dave King and Chickewrap in full swing. Party till the car don’t Start…

Here are some pics of Big Dave, and Crazy Ass Ken the Welder working on some frames. It’s tough sometimes back there, and they work real hard, but quality craftsmanship is the result. This weeks machine shop quote -“Good Bikes Ain’t Cheap, and Cheap Bikes Ain’t Good!”
In other news, the Red Bull Comp is slated to go down in Monterey Mexico on Feb. 26th, with $30,000 pesos up for grabs, (I think thats how much). FBM riders will probably be in attendance drinking the water. Holla mi amigo!

Tony Cardona DiD knock himself out last night though, and either Dorito or Leif Valin pulled a double tailwhip air on a mini, I’m not sure which one though. Ron Metcalf, who has been desribed as bizarre in his appearances on the FBM news, has ben officially banned from Gatti’s pizza buffet, for trying to sneak pizza out in his pockets. Ron who was onced Dubbed the Timmy Martin protoge, is still not quite as shitty as Timmy though. Ryan Corrigan is headed to Hawaii in a week or so, for a surfing trip with Joe Rich, although he does not know how to surf. He’ll be testing the effectiveness of the most recent Outsider sticker packs, and also filming (we hope). Oliver Leonard can ride a bike real well. We got a tape from him yesterday for an upcoming FBM video, Arata was also on the tape, he is an Ape. Fisher news, none to report, other than that he left a bag full of expensive clothes at Tag’s house. Shanton is still injured, and Kelly Baker once fed beer to a seal off the peir in San Francicsco.

Shanton, whose agent is the Infamous Catfizzle, has been reportedley walking around in a soft cast, and getting hosed with Quinn, at a bar in Comlumbus with a mechanical bull. Last thing I want to hear is Shanton out for 2 more months because he fell over drunk. More News later.

Leif is also on a media blitz right now, and has a hang 5 how to in the new Ride, following an awesome interview deal in Dig, and a Bio in the last Props. Holla. Leif can also be spotted riding and filming with Kevin Jones when the weather is good, and drinking coffee very fast.

New shoes are good for the feet. In other news, I am getting sick of driving around in shitty weather. My eyes get dried out from having the defroster on, and god forbid I dont check how much winshield washer I have….Cameron Wood, who was Flowed a PW Moto frame a few months back, sent in some footy the other day, he was hurt on Road Fools 13, but seeing this tape of him, Elf and berringer, almost made me shit. That kid can SHRED! Not much else going on, take it light ya’ll.

Luckily, I showed up today to the arrivals of both the S&M, and T1 videos, both of which are awesome. The T1 video particularly stands out for me, as having the most depth of any video I have seen in a while. You can actually purchase that vid through Last Call as well. so Holla. In other news, I got some Dunkin Donuts gift certificates for Christmas, and treated myself to a nice cup of coffee today. The contest at the Flow is going on as we speak, and FBM rookies Shanton Wilson, Tony Cardona, and Tony Hamlin are all representing….Shanton called last night to fill me in on his progress with the dice. Good work Kid.

Check Catfizzle next time he does an update for more pics from the evening. Fisher was in the house, as well as Ratty Santa, and Run DMC’s “christmas time in Hollis, Queens, was at peak levels.

Kelly has had 2 surgeries on his back due to ruptured discs, and the disc was giving him serious pain again, and he could not walk. The worst part of it, is that the accident was a cough. Go Figure, the guy Apes it for his whole life, and in a matter of a couple weeks, gets a DWI on his bicycle, and blows his back out coughing. Get well soon Buddy. Fisher has a $1000 watch, and expensive clothes. Holla>

Santa Snake will be there, you can sit on his lap, and ask for a bag of crack for Christmas, there might even be a guest appearance from Superman himself. 10pm is the party, and some of the FBM team will probably be riding at ECT prior to that. Someone said the staff from Kennedy’s Fried Chicken will be in attendance, so holla at us, and lemme get a pack of Newports…..

Snake Santa’s trusty sidekick, Ace, AKA Hansen (age 19), got married yesterday, so congrats goes out to him and his new Family. Hansen’s wife is about 30 years older than him, and a very interesting person. We wish them both the best of luck. Rumors of Tag and Bugsy wearing suits at the wedding…. If you were lucky enough to know it was on TV, Fuel channel aired a 30 minute segment on saturday about the Ghetto Comp, I’ll keep you posted for more airtimes. John Corts wanted the world to know that Ratt is a fad as well…. Holla!

FBM Christmas Party, next week at the Belmar, Dec.22 ,it’s Big Dave’s Birthday as well, so show up and wish him the best and have a drink with FBM legend-Jim Bagg, who will no doubt be in full effect.

If anyone has any suggestions for new FBM products for our spring line,send us an email. In unrelated news Curtis, the official FBM mascott, is in training for an upcoming bmx company dog fight.

I did a curved wallride on a purple bike. Holla. We saw a copy of the new Kink video there, and noticed a subliminal in the intro that read “muthafuck FBM”. Thanks guys.

In other news, Fisher has a bunch of expensive stuff, and works a whole lot. He is currently practicing shopping with his girlfriend so he has a standing chance on “The Price is Right” if he ever makes it out of Ithaca, and out to San Diego.

In other hard luck FBM news, We had to bail out another rider, Cops pulled shot guns and cuffed a seperate FBM rider, and 2 more were stranded in Ohio, due to a faulty waterpump on Mister B’s rig. Lots more to read about, so hold on a day or 2, to learn more about the Crandall trampoline, mousetraps, Lou Bickle, Puk-e Mon, fireworks, a DWI on a bike, and Little Billy from Indiana…Holla.

He’s probably better off, since Kelly Baker has been talking about letting a 12 foot long python loose during the contest. The comp should be off the meat hooks, with Robbie Morales and the Fit team showing up and holding a sidebar contest- “The Fit Bike Co. first annual Tight Pants Contest”
whoever’s pants Fit the tightest wins a brand new Fit lowrider truck autographed by Chad Kakey. Chase Hawk is expected to take the gold. Leif Valin is confusing…..

Anyhow, look for Ron Metcalf in an upcoming FBM ad in Props, he was the one in the orange dress, getting pissed at being reffered to as Timmy Martin. In other news, Kerry Sayre and Jeff Harrington are busy preparing for the Chenga comp next weekend, and rumor has it that Team Pimpske AND a van full of apes from Empire in Texas are showing up to wreak havoc. Look for a C-Lo challenge, and Lou Bickle to be in full effect. Catfish and Russel Jones will be sharing the anouncing duties, while Curtis is in charge of Security.

In other news, C_dizzle is driving south in the drizzle headed for the contest this weekend at Stateline Skatepark on the border of North and South Carolina. Go heckle the dizzle if you can. There is also a contest this weekend at the Hacketstown skatepark in Hacketstown, New Jersey. Both comps are sponsored by FBM, so if you enter and ape it sufficiently hard, you can win some nice FBM goodies.

In shop news, Curtis’ favorite “tug of war” Terrible One t-shirt is beginning to look a little rough around the edges. If anyone has any toys for Curtis, you can send them to FBM. Otherwise we may have to steal more of C_did’s clothing for him to chew up.

There’s a few new Interviews and bike checks posted on the team page, so check it dawg.

For some reason Kelly Baker started firing out attempts at handplants yesterday, and ended up looking like he got in in a squabble with Mike Tag over 50 cents on the Chanticleer’s pool table. It was pretty cool. Mike Tag is allegedly back in NY for a spell, who really knows with that guy though. His Volkswagon Jetta was also on “pimp my ride” and is covered in a Black Velevet exterior. Fisher went Riding today. Phil Drank Coffee. Curtis wrestled a T1 shirt, and thats about it. Holla…

Shanton’s Ape status was confirmed when he was kicked out of Kennedy’s Fried Chicken for wearing tennis ball green Duffs, and being “too Gangster”. Damn.

To answer any questions, the swastika painted behind Dave is a result of the vandalism that goes on in our Ghetto location, we are NOT nazis, end of sentence. In site news, there is a Kelly Baker history posted on his page, and a Road trip photo section posted for Leif Valin both of which are very fun to look at.

In other news, Kelly Baker has a new interview and some pics posted which made me laugh outloud when I first saw them. Kelly Also has a birthday this week, and his first concert for “Face Down, Ass up” in Cleveland thursday night. If you are wondering what exactly that is, it’s a 2Live Crew cover Band he’s in with Lou Bickle and Catfish. Should be a treat.

He still has a ton of bills, so we are still selling shirts and whatnot to help raise money. Check Dead Memory’s site for more updates as well. While in B-town we also saw alot of the old heads, like MCM, Butcher, Sal, and Duece was even there dressed up as Eazy-E. It was cool seeing Butcher, he seemed stoked on being a daddy.

Everyone who donates $20.00 or more will receive an FBM/Dead Memory “Jeremy Behler” T-shirt, and those who donate more than $100.00 will be entered in a raffle to win a custom FBM frame. We will also be selling a limited number of custom FBM frames to those who donate $500.00 or more. CLICK HERE TO MAKE A DONATION The link will take you to the Ghetto Street page. Scroll down to the Jeremy Behler Benefit to make a donation. Thank you. – FBM

This is precision tooling courtesy of Jim Bagg and Leif Valin who machined most of the pieces for it the last time he was here. Speaking of Leif, he recently spent a few weeks in Poland helping his brother who was riding in an enduro motorcycle race there. Leif sent us a few photos from his trip, and they are now up on his photo section, so check it out.

If you’re going to be at Interbike, check us out at booth#5547. Crandall and the Last Call Crew are heading out with a ton of new product, so go say, “Hi” and see the new goods. -peace

For those of you who don’t know, Jeremy is a rider from Pa., who got hurt real bad, with no medical insurance on sunday. Keep posted on the site, FBM, along with Dead Memory, will be raising money to help with the bills, by selling a special edition T-shirt, with all the proceeds going to help Jeremy and his family. There will also be information on how more people can help, very soon, so keep posted. Thanks to all the riders and sponsors who kicked in money Sunday afternoon, it will all help. In other news, if any of the riders who were filming at the ghetto comp want to send in copies of thier footage, for a Ghetto Bonus section in the next DVD, let us know, we’d be stoked….. Holla back.

Hey man, sometimes it rains in the ghetto. This is a picture of Brian Yeagle boosting the hip on the ghetto bowl. Outrageous. Sunday is supposed to be sunny all day so you’ll see a lot more of this if you aren’t too scared to show up.

Even if you couldn’t ride tomorrow, it would be worth the trip to watch these fools get this place together. Oh yeah, Kennedy’s will still be open. People are still hungry in the ghetto.

The FBM filming trip to Motreal was cut short, when they were refused entry to the country, and Tag was told not to come back for 10 years. Awesome. The weekend after Ghetto, the La Rav is going down at Xdreams in Rochester NY, where the Twins and Tony Hamlin will be in full effect. Twins know how to party, pure playaz style dawg.

Weird. The pic below is the ride home after working on the Ghetto comp course with Big Dave, and a few others. Fisher dropped off some wood, and I actually held up a half of an Astro Van while English swept up underneath it. That was a first (holding up half of a van). Corrigan flies in tomorrow, and him and some of the team are off to Montreal to film for a few days. Morre news later dudes, its Friday night, and there is a 12er calling me out. Holla Dolla….
