Here's some photos from Tennessee last weekend. The Blue Plum Festival in Johnson City was quite an experience. We stopped at the Kingsport park for a few. Jake Booher supposedly had a busted ankle, but I beg to differ.
Jake B.
I watched Phil K's pedal explode into 4 pieces. Phil brought his camera along and got some pretty good shots.
We all partied at Jeff G's house for a couple nights. Mikey P. and Kev Little were tearing up the ramp out back.
Did an interview with Jeff and Randy for the upcoming IB! video.
Jake Hunter's been hard at work on the new video. He's also got the coolest painting of the dude from "Excitebike" above the tv at his house.
On the way back, my girlfriend and I stopped at this crazy wax museum in Virginia. Bunch of wax dudes drinking from a barrel.
There's just nothing cooler than a cowboy riding a dinosaur.
JR will be in Johnson City, TN this weekend for the Blue Plum Festival. He's up from Florida. I'll probably be taking a drive down there also to join Jake Hunter to work on some things with the TN crew for the new video. Mike Paton, Kev Little, and Phil will be making the trip as well. See you there.
Featuring: Jeff Grindstaff, Jake Booher, Jake Hunter, Eddie Muscle, Brad Whilden, JD Whitehead, Kevin Mitchell, Jon Hartsell, Justin Oliver, and Matt Goergan
The "Hablar Mierda" shirts are in stock. AA 50/50's (Sizes: S-XL)
You can order them here from our online store, or check out Ed's Bike Shop in Vineland, NJ this weekend cause we'll probably drop some off tomorrow. And on Monday I'll be shipping some out to The Angry Penguin down in Johnson City, TN. They'll be the first shops to have them. We're gonna continue to run more new shirt designs throughout the summer in limited releases.
Special thanks to Custom Graphics over in Vineland, NJ for printing these ones. They're the same dudes who print all the Ed's Bike Shop shirts.
I got an email from Ed's Bike Shop today. Unfortunately, we have to move the date of the IB! "Swap-Meat" to Saturday, June 13th.
Ed wants to throw the official "Ed's Bike Shop Bunny-Hop Contest". Not sure what kind of prizes he has in mind, but there will be coping ledges and other stuff to ride also. Should be quite a party in the parking lot.
Until then, feel free to post this flyer I made around the information super highway.
"Dumbass" was a video we filmed back in 2000-2001. We made about 100 VHS copies for our friends and family. I'm not really sure who still has it, but it was definitely a fun time filming for it.
Jake Hunter and his girlfriend Shannon were in town this weekend for a wedding. Jake delivered this new edit he put together from the dudes down in TN. More new stuff on the way
Designs in the works. Blank tees just Lookin' for Trouble.
Possibly some new website additions. some changes. ideas?
Filming for the Spring/Summer.......Fall. w/ some new faces and friends this year, and some of the old gringos you all know and love. Hoping to put some small road trips into effect soon. (Parkway tour style, but maybe smaller / multiple directions)
Some talks with the entire crew about the past and future of IB!
JD mixed this one up this week, with more of the footage he had from his recent trip, before quickly leaving last night for another fun weekend in Tennessee.
I jumped on here today, added some finishing touches, uploaded it, and there you have it... IB! delivers again.
Featuring: Andy "Floyd" Erickson, Rob Haggman, the legendary Sean "Fish" Hoskins, JD Whitehead, Kevin Mitchell, a cameo from Chris Lopez, and the last we may ever see of the young Judd Maul.
I put together a mix of footage from the winter and from JD's trip out west early this year. Expect a couple more trailers over the summer. Maybe one from Jake Hunter and the TN crew next. We're pushing back the release of the next DVD until Fall '09. Below are some better quality downloads.
