Lately everyone who owns a 26″ has been in Aptos ssshhhhreding and with new spots popping up weekly… there’s no end in site!!!! I’m jealous as fuck!!!
Adam and Chase flew into Cali. last week but I was out of town and missed hooking up with them… but, I found this one on PinkBike.com shot by Justin Brantley a couple of days ago.

2009 is going to be a good year and here’s our first release for 09… The chrome Mob is the first to receive the newest addition to an already beautiful frame… a custom headbadge that was originally handmade in New Mexico by a very talented artist whose name I can’t recall at the moment.
The reason I mention this is Solano Avenue Cyclery out of Albany, CA. took the time to build up this Mob using the parts kit from the 2009 Riot complete… nice work!!! I love this!!! Thanks guys!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHEN MURRAY!!!!
After yesterday’s horrific news about Ed Bonnin, I was so happy to meet up with a bunch of SHL’s from the past & present in celebrating Stephen Murray’s birthday with a Pacific Ocean sunset BBQ. Tara Llanes and her mom Barb showed up and she looked amazing… she and Stephen are both in great spirits, have lots of support from friends and family but still need help via donations to their respective foundations… give Stephen a birthday gift : )

Ed Bonnin R.I.P. 01~07~09
It’s 6:40 am on Friday morning and I wish I would have slept a lot longer. First thing I did was check my e mail only to read the tragic news that Ed Bonnin pasted away Wednesday night. Sadly and apparently, Ed took his own life although the details are unclear. Ed was a driving force in the Aussie 26″ scene with talent and style for days. WTF!!!???!!! My most heart felt condolences go out to the Bonnin family, I’m gonna go ride and remember my friend….

Im a mate of Ed Bonnin’s and just thought I would contact you, as he use to rave about blackmarket bikes! But anyhow, if you havent heard – Ed passed away Wednesday night. Unfortunately Ed took his own life, the circumstances that surround this are fairly sketchy. The kid was full of beans and had a personality to be jealous of and the skills to match…….tragic loss.
All the best

Ricks Party from alex Reveles on Vimeo.
A couple of years ago I was shooting pool in Whistler at the Long Horn during CrankWorx. I was drunk off my ass and having a great time when I met Rick Nolte… we proceeded to run the table until I may or may not have been asked to leave??? Hmmm….
SO… over the past year I’ve become pretty close friends with Rick and I’ve really come to respect his style and confidence both on & off his bike… I watched as he rolled out of his house cold, pedaled to the corner hopped 180 and performed a eh… 1/2 mile roll back AT SPEED. All the while chatting with me, making eye contact… taking his feet off. RETARDED bike control!!!
Rickdiculous has a plethora of Unique, Original tricks like high speed no-foot can manuals or the crazy full speed downhill nose wheelie across the street(timed with the light) pivot 180 to fakie x-up ride to half cab out or so he say…
I’ve also witness the insanity of his 39th birthday with guest rap superstar “T-Sage”. Unfortunately for Rick’s hard wood floors… Rick celebrated with lots of household baking and cooking ingredients which wound up everywhere!!! Mixed in was a Liberal… no…GENEROUS amount of liquor, beer… etc. Thus creating a new form of floor covering/concrete!!! Rick’s not stoked on his new decor but he’ll get used to it. Although Rick lost the Battle of the Old Guys (you can’t beat Chuck Norris) that night, he beat the party out of everyone else.
Atomlab has been supporting Rick as he and Nick Brandreth from NJDirt.com have teamed up doing small grassroots street and dirt jams around the country and pulling off some pretty fun events on little to no notice… you can find all their event info past & future at ThrashBike.com.
So, get on that site and check him out!!!
Rick is just one of the many people I’ve had the pleasure to get to know through traveling & riding my bike and I’m very grateful for those opportunities and I am looking forward to the New Year!!!
