Jarrod sent over this photo of Ron, Darryl Nau, Waylon from the Sanctuary, Steve-O, and Jake from 2-Hip chilling before taking off on their limo tour. Not a clue where they’re going, but I’m sure it’ll be rad.

Fun Spot Jump Jam
Jackson took a lot of photos at the jam last Saturday. There was a real good turnout, with a lot of shredding going down. The crowd voted for the top three by way of a ballot, and Andrew Lang took home first place, with Jason Lopez and Cameron Birdwell in second and third. The riders voted for best trick, with Cam coming out on top for, as he put it, “the best superman seatgrab peggrab I’ve ever done.” I’m working on my edit right now, but Alec Hugo’s on the ball and already finished his, which you can see after the jump.

Pink Motel Pool Party
Ivers almost got me and McStallion to drive him to the freeway so that he could hitchhike to this on Friday night. Luckily, cooler heads prevailed, and he ended up taking the train overnight and getting a ride back from Cobbs.

Samba Rock Christmas Party
Wilkerson sent me an email about a Christmas party going down this Saturday at his other business venture, Samba Rock. The party’s going to start at 8pm, and will feature a live jazz band and DJs; the event is BYOB, and Ron asks that you park in the business lot next to Samba Rock, and come in through the rear entrance. Click here for directions.

Wilkerson Interview
Check it out over at ESPN. In the meantime, here’s a video of Ron killing it at the Vision Street Wear/Action Cycle Sports contest in ‘87. The move starting at 2:50 is most rad.

Bay St. Issue #2
Joey just finished this up last night, and now it’s online. This issue’s even longer than the first, coming in at 92 pages, with articles on the Chunky guys, Greg Sumida, and Marlon Europe; a wide assortment of photos, including some from Budapest, Hungary; and a thoughts section, featuring words from Ron Wilkerson, Mike Hernandez, Dave Jacobs, Sean Parker, and Joe Rich, amongst others. If there’s any poor English in there, blame me for fucking up the proofreading. Anyway, click the cover to check it out.

2-Hip “Rock and Roll”
Paul Somero just got 2-Hip’s 1997 video, “Rock and Roll,” online. Can’t say that I’ve seen this one before, either, but you really can’t go wrong with anything involving Birdwell or Banton.

2-Hip “Degenerates”
Thank Paul Somero for getting this online. It came out in 2000, and I’ve never actually seen it before, so I’m pretty fucking stoked. So, if you can handle 45 minutes of Wilkerson, Birdwell, Edelman, Puker, Parker, and a ton of other dudes getting rad, watch this.
