Ya so I haven't updated this thing in a long time and quite honestly I'mnot one bit sorry haha.
So far so good with the weather and life this year. Things have been
going well on both ends of the course. Plenty of dudes getting into

lazy. Even Crazy Crazy Sexy Sexy cooooool Keck has been killing it lately

new type of jump, new way to jump it, or a new way to make it. Random here just put a
request into the Sports Incorporated to see if Scumbag Segwaying will be recognized as a
new sport. Evolve your mind. The fun follows.
Well wake up ya cork soaker. THHEEESE are the good old days. And everyone you
spend being lazy, or avoiding something or not maxing it out is a day you will
and should regret. Many years from now when your rocking in a chair, knitting
a scarf and lactating for a fawn you'll think... that was the day that changed
everything. That was today boys.
I looked up my family tree

We sit in our circles of friends and 40's. Flap our gums on the facebooks
twotters and spaceblogs. We post on the internet and yelp at the helm
of mahogany bars. Because it is so easy to be negative... a lot of us are.
It is so easy to say what's wrong with governments, business, religion
and trail scenes. Yet there are very very few of you out there reading this
that have run a government, a business, trails or organized there own religion.
(The last one is the most rewarding haha drink the punch pussy). I challenge every
one of you out there to spend half the energy it takes to be negative and go out
in the real world and do something positive. Who knows? You stick your neck out. Go
for something you believe in you might be shaking hands with Cru Jones. Yaaa Bugby.
be out there being a dude that does dude things?(rando quote) Tick Tock Teeeeeerooookin'
I don't know about you boys but this weekend my mission is to make a beautiful thing

more importantly on the outside.
a few moments of happiness. You don't appreciate it or your wittle feelings get hurt
when the big bad dudes vibe you out. Plenty of streets to ride. Look at the websites
if you don't believe me. It's cool. As for me and mine. A cool breeze, some mountain dew
Face to Face on a cassette tape and a place earned to ride is all I need and as long as I have
a back that will always be there. Yall gunna be negative and put a bad name on that imma

is put up as news here positive. And I'm not trying to sit here
talk a bunch of crap on someone. So I will just tell the story as
the fact it is and you can judge. 8 years ago Sexy Joe rode a skate
park and hit a sub box that we weren't allowed to ride. haha. He got
kicked out.. 8 years ago mind you. Since then said park obtained
the illustrious Little Devil Bowl. So here we go let's suck up our pride
and give some money to a complete knob. It's winter. Not much to do.
And quite frankly we are out of pride anyway. But not Joe. He can't ride
The Little Devil Bowl. He rode a sub box at a skate park 8 years ago.
Screw it I'm going negative. WHAT A DOUCHHHHEBBBAAAAAG

supporting T Shirt. We didn't win but the nomination alone meant
a lot to us.
Don't talk to that kid. He's a meatball.
Well, I should start off by saying Happy New Year to you all. I hope
everything went smooooothly. Second I would like to say sorry for
the delay on Dust to the three people out there waiting for it. I was
just about to put it up when I went to the bathroom. I knew I should
put a little more work on the ole zine when I realized there were more
surprises in my Christmas poop than the third issue.
(rider:nus)
a way to get south asap. If anyone out there has a better idea than
this please let me know...
have been talking shop on shovel ideas for digging. Now I realize
it's not polite to stick my nose into other people's conversations as
much as it isn't nice to one up your friends. But I think everyone out
there can agree. When it's time to bow to a good idea you freakin bow.
and keep positive. Try as hard as I can to keep moving and dancing but alas
it seems we have been doin a lot of sitting around and being shitty. Not to
put anyone on the spot but my boys are falling to pieces. Spring can't come
soooooon enoughhhh!!
weekend. A roof with friends, ramps, dirt and bone eater under it? Can't resist.
Sometimes the silence can be so loud
We just wanted to say thanks to everyone that came out to celebrate
one year in business with AxelRad. It has been quite the adventure so
far. Hopefully we will be talking about Saturdays party on the 20th anniversary.
Rock and Roll. I read somewhere once that it will never die. But at
this point its either it or me. One second your sitting with your friends
laughing and having a good time when all of a sudden, Rock and Roll
comes walking in. The next thing you know everything is broken, there
is a weird smell, and you probably regret something. So the
next time you see Rock and Roll coming into your life. Stand up and shout
"Not in my house Rock and Roll, You get outta here before I call the cops
on myself."
your way to Open Mic on Tuesday nights. Where The Dreamer and Chom
perform some of the best out there. Editors note: Watch out for Chom Bombs.
for soon I'll be dead. (rider:nus)
So the party is on at the shop this Saturday. We were back and forth on
whether or not we wanted you animals in our cage but as long as you
all keep the feces throwing and purple butt monkey style down we should
be all right ha. So come on in and laugh with your friends. It's way better
than crying alone.
put this link on full volume. stick your head out the window and theeeeen think
about it. Knees up, hoes down.
dudes of France made years ago. This video is freaking sweeeeeeet. enjoy.
session en PA
guillaume | MySpace Video
All the world is....Shlubb
The good people over dare at AxelRad are about to drop
the third installment of Dust BMX magazine. The plan is
to have it come to an internet near you on the same day
as our One Year in Business Party! December 12th. So if your
in or around the city of Wilkes-Barrell mark your calendars.
and it will bring you to a place where you can buy the new
PA Woods video. It's a really good video that is here to raise money
for the trails. Riders include: Barrack Obama, Mike Rosazza, and a
spider that looks like Oprah Winfrey and Gwen Stefanie. They are riding
some of the best stairs and drop to flats, or whatever the hell else might
get one of you kids to at least take a second look at a trails video from
people who actually care about trails.
oooor he might learn a skills, take the tricks and become a roper just
like meeeeeeeeee.
Fight the good Fight?
As December sets in, motivations change. And with that comes the
annual questions: Why clay another lip when winter is going
to plotz on it? Why fall in love when your lover might turn into
a boring cocktail waitress from Pittston? Why turn the music up
when you know your gonna get a head ache? Why, why, why do we
keep fighting this good fight?.... Well, I'm here to tell you boys why.
Cause if you don't talk to another girl you will never be in love again.
If you don't clay another lip you will never feel that love again. And
if you haven't done it yet, you can actually play music so God damn loud
it can't give you a headache because it becomes a part of your head.
(pic:bean - rider: Jose Gonzalez)
head is up yer rear. I just want to say thank God for the friends that actually
look out for you. They can recharge even the shittiest emotion with one conversation
or one digging session, or one giant painting of a penguin reloading on a lobster.
(sexy acid)
with me the other day and said. "Chase Hawk is soo good." "Chase Hawk?" I said.
"Ya you don't see him?" he questions. I guess it's not my fault for not seeing Chase.
After all it's easy to miss a sleeveless Where's Waldo. ooooooooooooaaoaafhadf
Damn I miss that scene down there. Good dudes, good rides, music, art, I can go
on and on. I'm telling you right now, have all the fun you can this winter. 2010 is
the year for PA. We are legit now, Petey's coming back with a ring on. And the trails
are about to blow up like Daddy when he finds his Old Grandad has been replaced
with colored water. (pic:alpha - rider:lil eric)
Was it a spit in the Face or thoughtful Moisturizer?
ooooooooyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaa Fridaaaaayyyyyyyy
If there is one thing Shwantz knows how to do is
put out a good vibe. Everything, and I mean everything,
in this freaking world is only as bad as you make it. Whether
is an unconscionable woman. A tragic event. Or maybe
just maybe snow that physically shows the beginning of
the end of the only thing that provides happiness anymore.
What do you do? Lay down? Feel bad? Go under a blanket?
I don't think so. Not while these mutha fuckin hills are alive.
We punch hurricanes in the face ya hear me? Even hurricane Ditka.

Armageddon outa here
For the past few years I have been raising this stallion.
We have grown up and love each other very, very much.
But as much love as I have for this clydesdale I realize there
is ice running through her veins. Fire in her eyes and a heart
fueled with uncontrollable momentum. One day the towns
people, whom feared the stead very much, mobbed together
and decided to kill my fierce beast. They charged the home front
carrying sticks of fire. The horse, steady as the Devil itself,
held her ground and with one thrust of her massive body
Smote them allllllll/ Pssshhaaaaayyy. As the dust settles and
I mount my friend I look around at the piles of carcasses and ask
her, "what now my love?". And without a word back she stares
in my eyes and I knew. Now we ride boys. Now we ride. With the sun
in our faces and the Devil close behind. We ride.

these two are doing by myself. And while I'm at it, I might as well only
pedal at it once so I have more time for other stuff.

Well if you haven't heard we finally did it. Signed, sealed
delivered... it's yours. So many people to thank and so many
lessons learned through all this. We still have a big bill (apparently
lawyers feel comfortable in their own skin for charging us with $15
emails) but if money is all they want... it's all they will ever have.
or society building but I do know one thing.
It seems like the hippies of the 60's are in charge now and they
are really letting this country fall down puss boy lane. Now I am not
saying I am preaching anarchy or lawlessness. I am really sure we need
strict rules to regulate this country of animals. But when someone goes
off a giant jump and gets hurt...blames someone else... dammmn. They should
tie that bastard to the public square and let everyone in this country have the
opportunity to scoff in his face till he realizes what a half dick he is. Put the rules
aside when obviously needed.
on their side. It's almost our generations turn to rule the land. And again
I want rules. BUT I want those rules intrurrepted by the cliff diving bullet
proof tigers we are. Long live common sense.
controlled by something all together different.
Let us hang the jerk that invented work.
We are almost there boys. We are settin it up to
have a legit trail spot. Lease the land out. Got insurance
sorted out. Yeaaaaa Flash. If you ever meet the President
of LVI Airport, Larry, or Vince the president of Catty be sure
to buy them a beer. They have helped us in more ways than
my mouth can thank them. The only thing it comes down to
now is raising money for said insurance and rent. So keep
a look out for this raffle we will be holding soon.
is blah blah dedication, oh shit we got plowed and rain, rain
go away. But when it comes down to it, trails are the one of
the sweetest things out there. A truly dying art, we are doing
our best to make a stand and have a place that has a good vibe,
good people and to not lay down and let them doze over. If anyone
has any good ideas on how to raise money let us know. Right now
all our hopes and dreams are on Marky T. If he marries Brett
Micheals he can divorce him and take half of what he owns.
God Save Brettsss traillllls
So far on the team we have Dave Niquest, Ryan Mirra, Clipper,
Paul Rivear and fingers crossed Brett Micheals. Keep a look out
in 2010 for DueceAsHelllllllll.

WELCOME TO THE NEW AXELRAD SITE
We opted to go with a fresh new look for the site.
Email me and let me know if something isn't working right for you.
I stole the html code off dcarter so if there is a problem I wont
be offended but if you leave a compliment I wont punch a nerd to
make up for low self esteem. Anyway, we wanted to welcome
Reign Green to the site. The boys from Durham England are among
the best I have met in life and since we have this site going already
might as well have them use it too. I am sure they will be
delivering entertainment a free site never gave before.
CHECK THIS OUT TOO:
Well I hope you like the new look. Be sure to check out the Screen Printing side also.
For those of you who don't know the Online Store is up and
running also so make sure you buy a Save the Catty woods shirts.
We will be back soon to catch up on the utt most important of news in the
Pennsylvania woods. Now go do something in the sun before the scariest man
alive eats you like a iddy biddy widdle candy wanddy.
