On Saturday night June 28th I headed into LA with Greyboy and Giant to go to the Freestylin' Book Launch Party at Brooklyn Projects. Grey was supposed to DJ and Giant and myself were hoping to score a very special something. NO, not that, get your mind out of the gutters.
The item we were after was none other than the first issue of Freestylin' Magazine that had been printed in almost 20 years. I guess this was also supposed to be a launch for some really amazing Nike SB sneakers. Okay, they weren't that amazing. Fast forward to home.
Well I have to first thank Eric Anthony for making sure Lewman hooked me and Giant up with the "golden ticket" so we could get our books. It was pretty funny. I am quite sure a bunch of the dumbass people at the "event" thought they were getting the dope, fresh, hot, limited, rare, quick rape, Nike SB's for free. I bet they will be bummed when they get home and figure out it is just some BMX Book.
Well this thing is not just some BMX book to me. I have been up all night, and now it is day looking at the book. Is is so fucking amazing. Lewman, Jenkins, and Spike did a great job with this thing. It is great to see that there are still some people out there that can keep the feeling alive in a reproduction of a product.
All in all, this thing is SICK.-ben Oh yeah. You want to know the best part about this whole book project. I don't think you can actually get a copy unless you can some how buy the shoes. Dude that is lame and I hope it is not for real.

Damn, it looks like it is shaping up to be an amazing summer in the Northwest. There is no shortage of Jams to make travel plans for. Make sure to get a large van with good gas mileage and make sure everyone pitches in on that fuel, it can be a real killer! I really wish I was back to make to some of these.-ben

It seems we are living in a Decade of Death? Well either that or there is going to be a Raddest Decade Trick Contest!!! Let's hope it is the latter. Either way the guys down south are getting a Jam together and you better make it out since they come and rep hard to every event way North from them. It also seems like there will be a raffle to help raise money for a Medford Bike Park. What's wrong with the one they already have? Damn towns some time make no sense. Oh yeah, it's Oregon. Land of the cyclist, home of the FUCK YOU, NO BIKES!-ben

If this show is half as good as the one that was down here in Long Beach, it should be a blast. It seems there is a Old School Bike Show along with Racing activities. If that isn't sick, then the fact that you get to visit Bend should be rad enough. Make it if you can. Check the photos below if you want to get an idea of what and Old School Bike Show can be like.-ben
