Saturday, August 2nd 2008

So as many of you know, the site hasnt been updated in a while. This is mostly due to me being on a trip around California. It's also a part of me being either A. busy, or B. lazy. I prefer "b". Anywho, lets get this post kicking. Ill start off slow since I have a shit ton of photos to post. This first post takes place starting in Vegas, moving down to Arizona, and ending in San Diego.
So any ladies out there wanna get married?

A big Lyan, photo by Lyan. Am I blowing your mind?

My parents friends hacienda. or however you spell and afford that shit.

I followed the sign and found no horses. Liars!

Im not sure if Shaq could fit through this door.

Meanwhile in the desert park was abundant.

They claim rattlesnakes are abundant also. But i couldnt find any that wanted their picture taken. So I took a pic of a illustration of a rattlesnake. Am i blowing your mind again???

Iono what this is, but its neat

I was going to try to find peyote and recreate that scene in the Doors movie. but i had no clue what to look for.

more cacti

Flowers in this heat was sort of amazing.

yeh thats a desert.

more of that.

Aloha fixed cactus! bugga goin pop your tube!

Seeing how the desert is vast and empty. i decided to post a few pics of it which will take up web room and be vast and empty.

desert

This is my grandmas house which leads to a lake. We are now in Arizona.

Old school scale for weighing out all your buds. DUH

boats on the lake yall

Im a cat person

iono what it is, but i dig it.

Yeh needless to say its hot here. even in the shade.

It was so hot i wanted to jump in, but the lake was kinda smelly.

Whoop whoop, i made it out of the desert and into Coronado, or i think its called that. anywho its San Diego.

My cousin Allie and I went to her friend Julies house. Julies got a yacht and Allie brought her "party island" with her for us to float on.

Allie reading.

Me on the yacht.

This is where i fell asleep and woke up burnt. Im now pealing.

some sort of shark insisted on serving up, but he showed up empty handed. :minds blown:

I ate this dessert for my girl in Japan.

I met up with fellow Hawaiian Kahana. He's my favorite pro surfer and been getting on the fixies.

we rode over to Blends and met the E.Vill Doers for a ride.

E.vill stands for East village

check this sick bike

campy cranks

talk about slammed rear wheel.

I got some ups on the meeting spot.

We met up with Travis from Velo Culture whom i havent seen since he came to hawaii. Travis rules. He works in a tattoo shop now. Cheeee

Being in a city again was fun.

Sdfixed.com all up in the HOUSE! All the sd dudes wear rad and i was stoked on the scene they have going on over there. Thanks guys, ill be back.

We were seatpost buddies.

My other cousin Natalie and I roamed around Pacific Beach on our bikes.

Then we went to Velo Culture. Where i drooled and dared not to ask any prices.

I love the bendy triangles and seattube.

Matching disc to the frame? wutwut

More njs than i could shake a stick at.

Im a sucker for colors.

For days....

Makino Mega was being repped.

I foudn a reminton friend for my Remi.

hot disc action.

two discs, one bike. better than two girls and one cup.

umm yeh. this is one hell of a gear ratio. Try taking this on the road i dare you.

Some sexy hubs. fa sho!

Afterwards I took off solo to bike from PB into downtown.

The Remi gets around.

Battleship Midway.

RIP Huer. sick wholecar i caught.

The gangsta track. I wish I had gotten to ride it but, next time.

Lots of expensive parts and kids on disc wheels.

No crashes here and jumping off bikes to Hed3 head hitting, like that youtube clip on trackosaurusrex.

Big thanks to, Allie, Natalie, Kahana, Sarah, Mari, Travis, E.vill doers, and Sdfixed.
