Riding Photos Old and New

After putting together my China 2011 post I began browsing through some old riding pics reliving memories of BMX sessions past. In a strategic effort to regain some hits for the Group Home Bikes site I’ve decided to share some of the more interesting photos. Some may have been posted on here before, but I’m too lazy to check. So here for your entrainment is a select few of my riding pictures that I deemed worthy of posting on the inter webs. Enjoy.

What better way to start off a post titled “Riding Photos” with a picture of a dog. Rufus posing for the camera while the humans shred PS6.

Alex with a mean mugged hop whip at PS6.

Another hop whip photo but this time by someone way more handsome. TO THE PEDALS BITCH.

Alex is a cat person.

I did this trick about 500 times but Vin Crispino’s greasy pizza fingers couldn’t snap the photo on time.

You know it’s bad when Bayonne has a better skatepark than you do. Thanks Adena.

Speaking of our gone but not forgotten skatepark, here’s a photo of me getting upside down pre-Adena “Fuck your park up” Long got into power. The bulimic dude in the background is Brian Laughner who is currently on his second or third tour in Iraq. Get home safe buddy.

Gary Nilsson with a foot jam toothpick to fakie at lakewood circa 2007-08

Andrew Paino with a tail whip gap at that park with the chess tables.

Augie had to move all the way to Jersey just to learn turndowns.

Riding can be painful at times, especially the older you get. I feel like every time I step on my bike I’m injuring something new… I need more practice.

Roman chillin with his homies in the hood. Peace nigga!

Note to self: Never hand Little Mike the camera. Don’t get me wrong, I love Little Mike with all my heart and soul but the dude just was not made to be filming people.

The year is 2011 and the BMX industry still has not figured an easy way to get this done. Fuck everything about replacing a bottom bracket. Next time I need a new bottom bracket I’m just going to buy a new frame.

Yours truly getting wild at H-Town. I hate going upside down, the longer I ride the closer to the ground I like to stay.

Small panorama from inside the Rape Van. I have spent many hours on the floor of this van worrying that the next lane drift will be my last. I’m sure many of your reading this have experienced the same.

That’s it for today’s photos. Tomorrow I plan on putting up some more China photos as well as doing another one of these posts. There are still many more photos…
