We are still in LA. On Wednesday we drove to ABC radio studios so we could be on Rick Thorne's radio show for EXPN podcast radio. It was awsome as soon as I find the link for it I'll post it up!
This has to be the best road trip shirt anyone could ever have.

I also want to thank Daniel for letting us crash at his place, Shane Guillien for letting us ride at the compund oh! also Thomas and Bill Hancock for letting 6 dudes into their home and letting them crashing there.

I finally got the first update from Los on the Tragic road trip after they have been gone for 5 days ha. I hope the got alot accomplished. Here ya go:
So after driving back to Chandler Friday morning to pick up Lucas Porzio a.k.a. Full Throtlle we finally made our way to San Deigo around 10:00am. The crew consisted of 6 people; Adam Wong, Lucas Porzio a.k.a. F.T.88, Johnny Stevens, Derrik Riggs, Brian King and I (Los). We took some weird short cut down by Palm Springs and we happend to be on the road that Point X Camp it on but it was closed, I was bummed. But Lucas Porzio a.k.a. Survivor Man said that we should do a hit and run so we did and it was amazing. We then made our way to San Deigo finally, and met up with Justin Lock, and Zack Maeda from LA where we fucking partied, drank and slept. We are currently in LA and we rode Rick Thorne's new ramp set up today. While we were there he invited us to be in/on his radio show tomorrow for ESPN. Holla! *Los*
I rode Chandler the other day with Carlos from Tragic CO. He let me know that all the Tragic dudes will be going on a road trip this week to SanDiego, LA, and Las Vegas and they're gonna send us some updates....
so. friday was my first night living in LA for the summer. sam billy westcott and i all went to the etnies premier.. its safe to say that the video is the best video ever produced.. every single part was banger after banger.. even the "interlude" had everyone yelling. add free alcohol, over 200 people and a band to the premier and it was one of the funnest nights ive had in a very long time. check out bmxonline.com etniesbmx.com and vital bmx.com for pictures of the premier.. also
pre order the video so you have it the day it comes out.. you wont be bummed.
ive been lucky enough to meet cam a few times. and hes even more amazing and unique off of his bike. i dont know what they have in the water in salt lake.. but im tryin to get some of that down here!
yoinked this vid from vital.. amazing!
I was able to check out the new Glendale park yesterday. All that I am able to say is that its amazing. The park is basically done minus the pro shop/conssesions. While I was there I was able to meet the architect and Mike the project coordinator with city of Glendale. Mike gave me a quick run down of things. He said it will not be open until the proshop is done. Construction hasn't begun on the pro shop yet. He also was unable to give me a date of when It will be open. But I am still saying June assuming the pro shop has no problems. Mike also told me that some bikers were arrested for riding the park last week. I hope it was woth $500.00 bucks to you guys. Haha. Here are the pictures enjoy!
adam wong got a new camera and has been filming a shit load. he said hes gonna make a monthly edit.. sooo heres the first months
shit looks good.
(keep in mind that hes also been filming for the kore video ..so some bangers are left out)

Dam it should be Johnny Stevens apperciation day. Here is more news about him. I saw this on Vital and I though it was worth a second Johnny Stevens update in the same day:
"Because the competition was so close we used a little pull to offer a second rider an amazing opportunity through LET! The pro riders on the tour selected Johnny Stevens to receive a spot at the Free Flow Final in Orlando FL.!!! Johnny showed amazing riding skills in AZ and we just had to recognize. LET will be flying him to Orlando to compete against all the winners of the Free Flow Tour events throughout the year. The overall winner of the Free Flow Final will have a guest spot among the world’s best in the ASPT Finals! Last year Mike Spinner (who was a LET 3 competitor) won the guest spot and qualified first among all the riders in BMX park! Congratulations to Johnny and Marcos!"-Vitalbmx.com. Check out the site for the complete info.
