+ As some of you know, I'm in need of some new video equipment, so to help along the money saving process I'm cleaning out my closets. I will be holding an "online garage sale" for the next couple of weeks, or however long I can find more things to sell. There are good deals on Perspectives shirts and DVD's, as well as some old videos from my collection. So as long as you see the garage sale banner above, there is still stuff to be sold. So snag up the deals while you can! And buy stuff so I don't have to resort to giving plasma.
PERSPECTIVESBMX.COM GARAGE SALE!
+ "Can't Touch This." is another little project that Troy and I have been working on. Yes ladies and gentleman, a video edited to none other than the MC Hammer tune. You all know and love the song just as much as we do. So check it out and give us feedback in the guestbook.
IT'S HAMMER TIME!
+ If you haven't heard about Season Bikes yet you should take a minute to look em up at myspace.com/seasonbikes. They've got new stuff goin' on everyday. They now have seats, grips, and bars available and they look good. We'll be working on a Season Bikes bio/interview video for the site soon. So be on the lookout for that. Until then, check out their stuff and send any questions to seasonbikes[at]yahoo.com.
+ The Shook 4 premiere for "Ruff Draft" is this coming Sunday in Lakewood, Ohio near Cleveland. It starts at 9pm. Check Shookin.com for more info.

Fabo put his brakes back on and did his first barspin in nearly 3 months. I guess he's still got em.
I'm not sure if Chris Garretson ever pulled one of these 3-whips, but I saw him come close enough on a few occasions. I believe he finished first in the dirt contest at Miamisburg.
