I am sure that most of you won’t care for this, but I know Zac Costa and I are stoked! Looks like our good friends from Chiang Mai bought a camera and are going to be putting out a video. For those of you that don’t know, Zac travelled to Thailand a few years ago, and stopped in Chiang Mai and shredded with the locals. I traveled there soon after, and spent three months with these dudes. Good times. Chiang Mai is one of the coolest cities in the world hands down. Respect.

This one is for the flatlanders!
I know there are a few flatlanders that check out SJBMX, so this is for you. I am sure you all know Bobby Carter, and you’re probably surprised that I do, too! Made in Thailand was filmed in a course of a month in Bangkok and near by Suphanburi. Check out all my homies killing it in the 100 plus heat. Make sure to peep game at the Kritsada Prathumma Documentary I did as well.

Vintage Redline Cruiser Stolen
Today, a white vintage Redline Cruiser (that was boxed) was stolen from in front of my apartment. If you see a listing or someone riding around on this cruiser, please help me get it back. I was supposed to ship off the bike today to a good friend of mine in Thailand, hence why it was in the box. If you find it, call me or email me.
Looks like there is some Ivers and Jake in here…

Bicycle Film Festival Block Party
[7/13] First Rule is hosting the Bicycle Film Festival block party for the third year in a row. This year’s event is going to be fucking rad. We’re going to have some really good ramps this year thanks to Colin, and Jase is going to weld up some rails for us (he’s the guy that probably welded your frame if you ride a Solid, S&M, or Fit). Also, I just uploaded the new First Rule website! There’s loads of content on there, so please check it out and bookmark it. There are a few bugs still, but I should have all of those squared off tonight. In other news, look out for some new videos of Tony Campos and Kurt Russell on Vimby.
[7/2] First Rule is hosting the Bicycle Film Festival Block Party for the third year in a row. We’re going to get things started at noon on Saturday, July 18th. This year’s event will be huge: better ramps, more prizes, merch booths, and much, much more. In addition to the Block Party, at 7pm there will be showings of four BMX films! You can buy tickets here for $10. We will be giving some tickets away, but I encourage everyone to go and support local filmmakers like Marco and myself.

What it’s like to be a bike shop owner in Thailand and a BMX pro flatlander.
I Love My Bicycle: The Story Of FBM Bikes
World Premiere
Dir: Joe Stakun
In reaction to big business BMX companies in the early 90’s, 17 year-old Steve Crandall started a company of his own called Fat Bald Men. What began as selling t-shirts out of a backpack has turned into one of the most well respected DIY bicycle companies around. Through fortune and misfortune, the film follows FBM through their 15 years of mayhem as told by Crandall and the rest of the BMX bicycle community from close friends to influential icons like Dave Mirra and Mat Hoffman.

Props is super lame…
…but this issue looks great. Peep my homie Tee getting the last clip in the trailer. The Thailand section should be really good.

A Rainy Day Edit
I was supposed to film Jarrod tomorrow in Santa Cruz, but the weather is crap, so I put this edit together. New and old clips from Oakland, Santa Cruz, and Thailand. I am filming a video on Zion I, and the music in this is by Amplive. Get stoked.
