Angry Asian/Brian Chu threw up this new edit of Tony Campos last night.



Here's some photos that Kyle Emery-Peck shot, which I'm yanking off the Solid site.

Chris San Agustin wanted me to throw this up about We Got The Block: So, We Got the Block started long before the sunny afternoon on Saturday the 26th. Wood was found and carted to Kweli's house in Oakland and Becca's house in San Francisco. This was a long process that took time and very hard work. For the past few weeks the First Rule DVD was in the works. Kweli and I spent many nights filming in my apartment and the night before the contest I stayed up to five burning DVDs. Koit called me at seven the day of the jam telling me that he was on his way to my apartment. So, with two hours of sleep we were on our way to San Francisco. On the ride there I was told that the Bicycle Film Festival forgot to get the permit for the street! Well, we decided to do it anyway! Tim from Intencity carted all the wood to 16th and Capp. We couldn't get any electricity until 11:30 and riders were already showing up! Things always work out though. We ended up getting power and everyone got together and made things happen: Ramps were constructed, the BBQ was fired up, and the block started to fill up with hundreds of riders and spectators. The block was getting loose with hot moves every where you looked: Beer, bud, food, girls, ramps, and all that good stuff. Everyone was killing it, Eddie Cleveland was holding it down, and Ari flaired the quarter! Ronnie did like a triple tailwhip, some guy stalled a fence that was about 15 feet high. He almost died a few times but ended up sticking it. At some point the SFPD came through and were pouring out beers. They were really cool and we ended up riding for about an hour longer before we had to move the jam. The SFPD sergeant told us that we should go to the skatepark [ed. note: The new, non-bike friendly SF one at Potrero del Sol.] and that they would escort us there! So, we all mobbed over to the park and the skaters were not having it! Undercover police were there and then out of nowhere SFPD was fully represented. Fuck those skaters and fuck those cops! We took it to 3rd and Army from there, and loads of good stuff went down, with the highlight being a long jump contest, kicker to kicker. The winner walked away with a brand new frame. I believe Joey from Redwood City won. Anyways the gap had to be 30 plus feet. Becca got down on the BBQ along with some drinking. We spent a good deal of time trying to get the projector powered. Aaron Huff from Solid came through with his big ass truck. Half way through the new Franchise edit the power shit out. We tried! I felt pretty bummed since I worked so hard to get the DVD done before the contest. All that work and we didn't even get to show it. So, since we couldn't really premiere any of the movies Saturday, we're going to be showing the movies Wednesday at the Clocktower in SF. People should be there by 9. New Franchise edit, First Rule DVD, and a short from the jam on Saturday!
