Archive for May, 2005Some of you know i keep this picture of mat hoffman in my wallet. It’s crazy. It’s from the 88 Wichita contest. He’s 16 going like 11 feet out of a 8 foot vert quarter. I found this pic on the net of Carlo Griggs.. I don’t think it really needs any explanation. 8 ft quarter 1989. FUCK!
Well after 7 or 8 years of using yahoo i am jumping ship. For some reason i am not getting a bunch of emails! So please update your address book. My new email address is jamiemcparland@gmail.com The Force is a Tool of Satan – Episode III ALERT! I would be totally embarrassed to be a Christian. Well i made it back from NY mostly unscathed. 6 days is a long time for a trip. It was awesome though. Right off the bat i want to thank aaron from Solid Bikes. If it wasn’t for him this trip wouldn’t have been possible. Thanks a million Aaron your the fucking best!
So me and chet go and we were cursed from the get go from the fucking tiki.
I got 2 flat tires. Chet quailfied 9th in pro street. I was so proud of him. The next day about 2 hours before the finals he get’s his fucken bike stolen! He ended up getting 10th place (out of 12 riders) on my bike. Pretty fucken rad. Anyway the animal guys found Chets bike in NYC and are sending it back to him. Awesome! We rode street in Manhatten. It was fucking nuts. Riding as fast as you can in the middle of a 4 lane road against traffic in the buisest city in the country was pretty fucken wild. I hit 2 people on foot, and almost crashed into a police horse! I noticed everyone in NYC has a small dog, big sunglasses or an iPod. I heard 2 good pickup lines on the trip. “Hey you wanna go halfs on a bastard” and also “hey you wanna make out a little bit before you go home” to funny. My friend Ryan Wooster is the best. Just when i thought my opnion of him couldn’t be any higher i found out he can puke at will. I watched him throw up 4 times in a Wigmans grocery store. Ryan you rule! I watched this girl Sarah beat the fuck out of a dude. I saw a bunch of jocks get into fights. Hung out with my friends that i have been missing and made a few new ones. Spit gum off the top of the empire state building and slept in a funeral home. What a fucking trip! I wanna thank aaron from solid for making the trip possible, Curtis for the entertainment “TONIGHT!!!” Ryan for putting up with me picking on him about Sean Burns. C-ditty and the last call crew for putting the whole event on. Dave for saving us and giving us a ride. Todd and Jay for the ride and letting us stay in their room. Fudger for letting my beat up his car, Walter for jumping it. Dolecki for the ride and a place to stay. Greg and Aaron for the new parts, Darren and Leeland for the shirts. As shitty as Binghampton is.. I can’t wait till next year! Heres some photos.
Well were fucked. Thanks to Chester. Heres the deal. My friend chet and i are flying to NY tomorrow for a contest and to hang out with some friends. Chet just came back from Maui tonight and he managed to break one of the cardinal rules of Hawaii. He brought back some volcanic rocks and sand. This is a NO NO!! You get all kinds of bad luck from that shit. I mentioned it to chet and he told me that his girlfriend dumped him on the way home from Maui, AFTER he nabbed the rocks. So it’s already kicked in. I convinced him to get rid of that shit. They actually have places where you can mail the rocks to and the natives will put them back because people have such bad luck from taking them. So we spent about 2 hours tonight packing the shit up buying stamps and getting that shit off our hands ugh! Hopefully the curse is lifted since we mailed it back but i got a feeling it won’t be till it actually reaches the island. The problem is that won’t be till were back from NY. I only have $40.00 to last me 6 days on this trip and chet has about $70.00. We fucken screwed. If my plane does go down just know that i was choking chester till we fucken plowed into the ground. Dammit!
