I hung out with Nate (Herrasmoovy) today, we went out into town shooting photos and finding places in SA I've never been before. It was quite an experience and lots of photos! We ended the night with a high caloric dinner from Chilli's, enjoy!

APPLE TABLET. PATIENCE.

2009-08-19T08:05:00.000-07:00

Like many people, I'm anxiously waiting for Apple to release the much anticpated Tablet. Nobody has pictures, specs, or even design drawings. It's all top secret, like Apple wants it. There are plenty of rumors on the forums, but none as exciting as the fan designs (what fan's THINK it will look like). September 9th 2009 is Apple's annual September Event where they release new products and make major announcements. I bet the tablet is released that day (even if they are downplaying it)...C'mon Steve, git 'er done!

Some interesting fan (fake) images:

and my favorite design..

MOPED GANGS.

2009-08-18T10:47:00.000-07:00

Read a cool article from Wired.I guess this is the new craze with the hipster folk. (Idk what a hipster really is, but I don't care for labels. Do what you do.) The moped hype is spreading, again. Remember the Puch/Honda/Peugeot mopeds from the 80's? These are the same ones, but now with aftermarket exhausts and other tuning parts. These folks are forming 'moped gangs' all across the nation - San Francisco,CA (Creatures of the Loin), Tempe,AZ(Tom Cruisers), and Kalamazoo, MI(Decepticons) [read more here]

9.13.2009 GGP Houston, TX Drift event!!!!

2009-08-13T09:33:00.001-07:00

Here we go again folks!

When.

Sept 13, 2009. Get there by 8:15 am, drivers meeting at 9:20 am. We drift until 5:30 or 6 depending how people behave. Then its cleanup time.

Where. Gulf Greyhound Park just south of downtown Houston. Just go to maps.google.com if you don't know where it is, and insert that name.

What to bring. Bring a running drift car, extra tires, a helmet, water, and whatever else you need. Don't bring a leaky car. Make sure you look at the tech form to make sure your car will pass before you bring it. http://fabricatedmotorsports.com/crap/USD%20Tech%20Form.pdf

All convertibles must have a 4 point roll bar or greater. All cars that want to do tandem need to have a full cage. Everyone must have a real battery tie down, no more speaker wire like the last event, that will not fly. There are many options for under 10 dollars that are real battery tie downs, or nice ones under 50. That was the biggest problem everyone had at the last one.

How to register. We will be doing a preregistration for this event. You need to paypal your entry fee of $75 plus 3% to erinshill at gmail.com. That is $79.25. When you paypal your money over, make sure you include in the text portion of the payment your full name, email address, phone number, car type, and anything else you need to tell me. Registration will be capped at 45 drivers, so make sure you register early, because we met the cap for the last event. I think everyone got plenty of seat time with that number, so I think we will cap all the events at that number or lower.

If you register and then decide you can't make it, just sell off your registered spot to someone else and tell them to use your name at the event gate to get in. There will be no refunds, but if you need to get out of your spot, just sell it off, and don't tell me about it, I don't need to know. That keeps it simple. It worked well at the last event, so we will do it again.

Again, all driver registration needs to be done over paypal in advance.

There will be a spectator fee of 5 dollars.

Please visit this thread for any updates, as I cannot monitor every forum this is posted on and make changes as they need to be made.

CYCLISTSvsHIPSTERS. HILARIOUS.

2009-08-12T11:25:00.000-07:00

This is a super funny rap video about road cyclists vs fixie hipsters, from the roadie's perspective. I cannot stop laughing.

DAYTONA HUB 4/140.

2009-08-12T09:35:00.000-07:00

The DIY fatty kit for the Ruckus is pretty simple for those who like to fabricate, assuming you have the right parts. There are tons of TR threads about DIY fatty setups (start with the Corner Carving thread). But the one part that's been difficult for me to track down is the hub. Thanks to Fatphos, my search has ended! This aint no ugly sym/kymco hub either! Bad part, I may have to use a not-so-baller atv wheel on this hub..oh well! Just get it running!!

PRIMITIVE TRANSPO CULTURE THAI STYLE.

2009-08-11T13:13:00.001-07:00

This is ab-workout-funny! Read this funny spoof posted on Motosai (means 'motorcyle' in Thai), a moto-centric blog about the Thai bike culture. The tranpo culture is contagious, even with the native folk! Now, lemme go find an aeta on a dope Ruckus!!

KERO ONE. KEEP PUSHIN.

2009-08-10T13:34:00.000-07:00

We told you about Kero One's distinctive style before. He just dropped a new video for Keep Pushin', same heavy jazz beat with provocative lyrics about real life.

2009-08-06T20:17:00.000-07:00

Garland,Texas is the home of INTERCREW, the fabricators of a 15-inch Ruckus fatty build. Peep game homie. Everyone knows Texas likes to do things big, but a 195/45/15 tire on a Ruckus?!?

PURPLE KUSH. FATPHOS.

2009-08-05T20:21:00.000-07:00

One my all-time favorite Ruckus builds belongs to homie Fatphos from StandardFunctions. Follow his build thread on TR here. Enough words. Here's how Purple Kush sits today..(oh and a few other plugs..StandardFunctions and WANTvsNEED and AllThatRuckus)

TUNE UP.

2009-08-03T21:58:00.000-07:00

We stopped by Bike City off West to hook up with Mike and get some work done on the bikes. I went there to get a lock ring tightend but ended up leaving with parts! We also turned it into a party hang out session haha enjoy the pics!

CHILL SUNDAY RIDE.

2009-08-03T13:08:00.000-07:00

So Mike, Nate and I went on a little chill/cruise ride yesterday downtown. Brought my camera along too and got some shots of some random people and our bikes.

Sorry that it looks like empty black spaces between shots, they just have black borders.

ITS ALL ABOUT "SELECT"ion...

2009-07-31T10:14:00.000-07:00

We ran through SELECT the other day and loitered for a few with Manny. One of the latest drops were the Pennys, as you can see they are fresh out the box. Select has and will be providing the freshest SWOOSH footware for SA, so roll through and pick up a pair! (yes, those are yezzy's...get em)

RUCKUS BUILD - UPDATE #1

2009-07-30T08:42:00.000-07:00

The only thing slower than a Ruckus is my Ruckus build project! I know it's been slow, but 'priorities' is all I'm saying. Anyway, I was playing with some long exposure shots last night in the garage. Here are a couple of unedited shots of the Ruckus so far. If you think it's dirty now, you should've seen this thing when it arrived! It looked like it rolled out of a swamp. I'm waiting on the Password JDM stem to arrive, then the A-Bomb blocks. After that, well we'll see..

2009-07-24T14:22:00.001-07:00

Sole Boutique has moved to a new location down Broadway, and we happened to be having lunch in the area so we decided to stop by. The shop was formerly occupied by a ritzy antique place, so the ceilings have long inlaid wood beams across the entire store. Julio has different murals lining the walls, all from local artists. Come by and support a friend who is doing great things for the SA sneaker culture.

If they ain’t got fideo, they ain’t doin it right!

2009-07-24T13:43:00.001-07:00

Pete’s tako house is a great hole in the wall for some good tex-mex home cookin and is one of my favorite lunch spots. it’s located just north of downtown on the corner of main and lexington. you’ll find just about everything on the menu here: chorizo con huevo, carne guisada, fajitas, enchiladas, caldos, gorditas….you getting hungry yet? i decided to go with fideo today. this mouth watering base of broth consists of browned vermicelli, picadillo and whole cooked beans. the comino and stewed onions and tomatoes are great on the taste buds too. this “sopa” has been around for generations and is a common find at any tex-mex restaurant in san antonio. if you ever walk into one and do not find it on the menu, get up and walk out!

stop by when you have a chance….you will not be disappointed.

HOMEMADE TEXAN GOODNESS. SALSA.

2009-07-24T09:14:00.000-07:00

Yup, its about food again. Wanted to share a bit of simple goodness we recently enjoyed at home. Texans love to put everything in tacos, so here you go. Spicy kiolbassa sausage basted in bbq sauce, shredded cheddar, sour cream, and the secret sauce...habanero pineapple salsa. Had to keep it tropical. The lil salsa container was for the kiddos, had to keep the habanero content kid-friendly.

My family and I went down to the Guadalupe River last Sunday afternoon to enjoy our first church baptism event of the Summer. Our church family from Calvary Chapel of San Antonio came out in full force to eat, fellowship, and encourage our friends declaring their love for the Lord. The weather was muggy (it even rained for awhile) and the water was dirtier than it looks, but we had a grand 'ol time at the river.

As a kid growing up I always used to watch Gundam Wing. I don't know how many of you remember that old anime, but it was awesome. When I saw this on flickr all I could think was...the japanese always outdoing themselves! Imagine these being built in the future so a person could actually control it. They are 1 step closer!

Up in Austin we hung out at Mellow Johnny's where Armstrong is really involved with the cycle community. The folks were really cool and down to earth. They had a really cool display of Lances' personal bikes that he has used in some of the races. Lots of fixie bikes for those fixed lovers out there! If you are ever in Austin come through and support Mellow Johnny's. Enjoy the Pics!

He was really cool he opened up the shop for us on the 4th of July, what a nice guy! If you ever want a really good build, the travel is worth it. Here are some pics of our journey to ATX.

The Slimlow on Snacking!

2009-06-18T07:38:00.000-07:00

The hot days of summer causes many to consider ways in which to shape up and slim down. Being an advocate for good tasting food, it can be tough to skip and pass on certain favorites. In reading up for myself, I found the best advice is to keep intake at a controlled level and to watch your fat and calorie intake. Also, it is essential to exercise regularly. Eating more frequently throughout the day is known to boost metabolism. However, not all snacks are created equal! Check out this list I got from dietbites.com. These are snack foods known to help your metabolism...

"Hot air popped popcorn, fresh fruit, raw vegetables, sugar free gelatin, low fat yogurt, an ounce of cheese, peanut butter on crackers (watch the amount of peanut butter that you smear on your crackers), dried fruit, jerky, bullion, low fat soup, small salad with light dressing, fruit rolls, slice of toast with no calorie butter spray, a dash of cinnamon and a spoon or two of Splenda, fruit juice, a glass of skimmed milk whirled with 3 frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese."

Here's to your good efforts!

ALL THE FIXIN'S.

2009-06-17T20:44:00.000-07:00

We went out the other day to go ride downtown SA and we had a blast! We hit up the River Walk then onto Broadway for the long strech then Los Robertos for dinner! Props to Banzai Steve and Nate from the Islands! we shall go again!

KERO ONE.

2009-06-17T13:53:00.000-07:00

Peep another artist with a different style (I know, not another one). Kero One is a Korean-American fellow hailing from San Francisco, who happened to be a web developer by day, and beat producer/rhyme sayer by night. He put his nose to the grindstone and did his own marketing, networking, and cold calling to get his name out. But it all started when a tiny record shop in Tokyo decided to carry his debut album. Boom. Now he's got collab projects Talib Kweli among other folks. Kero's style is jazzy smooth, intellectual, hypnotic storytelling with real-life positive substance behind it. Listen to his work on his IMEEM profile.

Here is a Oldie but goodie, Police Academy 4 skate scene. I can remember that part so vividly my young heart yearning to skate like that with a pair of JORDAN 1's! Yes, watch closely and witness the old school thrashin' in some OG Jordan 1's.

What more is there to say.....

DID WE SAY WE LIKE TO EAT?

2009-06-10T06:32:00.000-07:00

We eat here occasionally its Royal Inn on Babcock Rd. You can eat lunch there, but that would just be typical American-Chinese style, which is not my type of taste at all. If you go there for dinner you can order the real deal, go and try it out. Ask for steamed halibut and chinese broccoli with oyster sauce and maybe a Roast duck. Enjoy!

Tofu with Black bean sauce.

A variety of dishes.

TO THE BORDER.

2009-06-06T06:57:00.000-07:00

You should know by now we love to eat! One of our favorite spots is Los Robertos off bitters and 281, Its one of the only 24hr taco shops here in SA. The baja cali style mexican food is a transplant from our very own streets of San Diego. So, if you are ever in the mood for some SOCAL mexican food this is the place.

Hot carrots, jalapenos and lime to cater those taste buds with a kick.

This is the carne asda con camaron (shimp) with rice pico de gallo, sour creme, and guacamole.

Another favorite is the Carne Asada fries...ill let the pic speak for its self.

You can also do chips and carne asada, this one was destroyed.

Recently, the local newspaper caught wind of their story and wrote an article about their transformed lifestyle. Jocelyn and Alain have performed before thousands, and now they worship for an audience of One. Read more here.

TEXAS FABRICATED.

2009-05-25T20:40:00.000-07:00

I havn't done a drift event in such a long time due to deadlines and other aspiring projects in life. But when I get the chance to I will surely release alot of pent up steam. I really miss the smell of tires burning and being in total control of my car going sideways, well at least when I could control my drifts. So if you Drift, would want to learn, or would like to try it out, there are events every month held at mineral wells TX, by FABRICATEDMOTORSPORTS. A good friend of mine Aaron Losey holds these events and would love for more people to be apart of this culture. Check this vid by chixwithtrix.

CHAMORRO FIX.

2009-05-13T17:31:00.000-07:00

We hung out with some local Chamorros (People from Guam, in case you don't know), Nate and Jesse. These dudes were really chill and reminded me so much of the islanders back home - laid back with no worries. Not only were they islanders but they ride FIXIES! Pics on Nate's Bike on Part 2. We ate at BlueStar Brewery and the food was pretty good. Didn't shoot much photos of the food but I do shoot the aftermath. It was a chill day filled with good food, chit chats, a water mister and sweaty tees... After a few, the homie Lamar (RISE/RUN) and BANZAI Steve came through to enjoy the heat with us.

GIZMO

While we were eating a strong gust of wind came through and blew one of the umbrellas off the table.

Jimmy from Blue Star Bikes. Go and get your Fix!

Random Cruiser looking really nice.

Really cool girly scooter.
