Black Rock “Jump”

September 4th, 2009  |  Published in Uncategorized  |  Comment

There are times when one must step up to the plate. This can be one of those times… I think(?) haha =)

First of all excuse the noob video editing skillz–this is the first time I played around iMovie ‘09 (iMovie in general). The clear water below do tricks to the mind, at least it did to me as you can tell.

As you’ll see (and maybe hear) on the First "Jump", I totally wasn’t expecting to be off course lol. As for the Second "Jump"–I just wanted to go down quick and get it over with… though I did it “normally” and not too loud this time =)

Good times! Thanks to Keno and Lou for jumping off with me. And to those at the Beach filming and watching, I hope you guys had a good laugh haha. Till next time, I need to practice =p

¡Salud!

Custom Bicycles in NYC

August 6th, 2009  |  Published in Style  |  1 Comment

I had this growing interest lately of getting myself a bike. It’s been a minute since I’ve had one to be honest. I remember having fun w/ my generic-BMX back in the P.I. with my bowl-cut. I remember going through the streets with our generic-BMX crew and hoping over speed bumps; making ramps; and eating it hard on the pavement filled with small rocks and pebbles. We were fortunate we didn’t crack our skulls as we got mad air most of the time, only to be brought back down to Earth by the Law of Physics.

Anyways, check this video out by Rocketboom correspondent Ella Morton when she interviews Josh Hadar about his hand sculpted custom bicycles.

PS. For owners who are bike officianados, road or mountain bike? In terms of riding versatility for street, hills, dirt, etc. (I’m guessing mountain?)

Seems like I missed this skit during last night’s Tonight Show with Conan. It’s were Capt. Kirk (William Shatner) redux Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s Farewell Speech into poetic beauty. Watch the video here.
