not even sure where to start here. can tell ya that i feel like quite the d-bag sitting here at paneras with me laptop n all, so its reason enough to keep it brief. first n foremost, proper thanks must go out. the list is long, but like i said, we’re keepin it pithy. mchue, moeller n every cat that calls s&m/fit home. most stellar mother fuckers in the game. know it. embrace it. support it. reez and all the hoodlums at blackout/kink. aces. period. bobby, marco, nuno, and the fellas at sunday/odyssey. legit as all gettyup. coplon n family at profile. matt aint in the game, he is the game.omar n the flock o griffins at animal. todd, bert, n jason at ink divion. the only comrade to copilot the mothership, my trusty sidekick n partner in crime, brody. n last but obviously not least. the folks that brought the dream to life, my family. my wife laura, my kids hayley, lil shane, hippie,n mia ,my folks, aunts, uncles, cousins, and my ohh dear granny. their support never waned. from sun up to round two tees to bed.

4 years of what seemed like an 8 hour trip on a nicotene patch dream has come to an end. i’ll cherish a lifetime of memories and revel in a dream realized. if you were there, you’ll concede. if you weren’t, beg pardon. you missed one hella show. which brings me to what i can safely say would be a rad conclusion to this here lil farewell memo…

the riders, the parents, n the folks that made round two what it was. more than an entity, less than a reality. the names r countless n the personalities are endless. thank you folks. i hope that i’ve left you at least a fraction of what you’ve left me.

Haven’t really been updating much lately, but, here’s a couple of videos from over the past couple of weeks that would have definitely been on here if I did.

The first one is of Tomas Kudrnac, who spent a summer away from his home in CZECHOSLOVAKIA and stayed a couple of weeks this year In Pittsburgh. Honestly, take a second, turn off spell check, and try and spelling CZECHOSLOVAKIA without looking, Fisher and I couldn’t.

Kyle made this edit from one of the last sessions that we got in at Potoczny’s, along with some appearances by Dan Gahagen, Adam Litwin, Tyler Valentik.

Finally, another edit from these white trails somewhere across the pond. Good god does this place look fun.
