I went up to Whistler B.C. to catch some fresh pow...picked up the Hauser Bros. on our way up the mountain, after they hit a boulder and totalled their Grand Am rental car. Skiing was fun. Check the pics...click here...

I finally caught up with my work and had time to post a couple galleries from Interbike. First off is the random assorted pics gallery...click here...

My award for the tightest booth goes to Deity Components. Ya ya ya I know they are my friends, but c'mon, I have never seen a first year booth as sick, and they built it all themselves. Blood sweat and tears baby, and it shows their passion and commitment to the sport. So check these pics and decide for yourself. Then get your bee-atch arse over to Deity Components and buy some REAL parts. Oh, and by the way...the white was there first. Yep, everyone laughed at the idea of powder-coated parts. Hmmmmmm.....How ya like me now?

Yep, I'm lame. long time no update. Well, right now I am visiting lovely Bristish Columbia, Canada. I have been shredding Whistler Bike Park. I had a lot of fun dusting off the DH bike and getting back to business. It is great to ride sick trails with fun people. I also did an epic ride in the interior of BC, Rossland, which is in the Kootenays. That happened with Chris "Lunchbox Larry" Lawrence and Greg "Dilly" Stone. Blast from the past, we had a great time! 30k of Bitchin' unadulterated singletrack. Doesn't get much better than that. Canada Rules. Check out the pics >> gallery click here. Lots more going on but for now that's it!

You all might know by now that I won't be racing this year. I have made the decision to focus on my other career in Graphic Design and also spend some serious time in rehab trying to fix my bad shoulder. I have had the shoulder injury since 2002, when I had an AC seperation, but it has gotten worse and I am trying to avoid having surgery. I have a 50% rotator cuff tear and a major labrum tear, followed by some bicep tendinitis. I have the same issues in both shoulders, but the right one is way worse. Man, rehab is a drag...it's like a part-time job, but without the pay! It's not too fun. Unfortunately I am not riding my MTB much lately and I am going crazy! I have been on the road bike and also a while back started studying Martial Arts, which is really cool. I encourage all you fools out there to try Martial Arts, because it is good for the mind, body and spirit.

I will stay involved in Mountain Biking, and might show up somewhere to compete when I want to, but mostly I am looking forward to riding my bike and having fun. That's the reason I started this sport, and it has come full circle, and I am ready to enjoy that again! I will be keeping tabs on all my homeys who race, so rest assured, I will be expecting the best from all you fools. I will catch y'all on the flipside...

Just returned from a two-week trip overseas to Portugal with my family. It was really cool. Pretty amazing country, with a lot of history that dates back beyond the 4th century. They once had arguably the strongest empire in the World. Small country, big history. Impressive.

Happy New year to Everybody. I hope y'all had a great Holiday season.

I went to the first supercross of the year at Anaheim. It was so muddy and nasty, which made it VERY entertaining. Check out a few pics here.

***check out the new photo galleries here ***
just got back from a little visit to my homeland, the city of Chicago. It was really cool to be in the city, and see the familly. My mom is an insane cook, so I was living large with the gourmet eats. Hard to resist the temptations of mom's cooking! Also went to see the new Millennium Park that was finished about 6 months ago. It is the coolest park I have ever been to. Very tech and modern, and amazing architecture. A must see for anyone visiting the city. Now I am home and back to the work grind. Catching up with everything that has been on hold for a week.
