Blade Runner

Three weeks ago I bought a copy of the new "Final Cut" (doubtful) of Blade Runner. I still haven't had a chance to watch it. It comes with a doc about the making of the movie (easily in my top five of favorite flicks) which I'm really interested to see, but I just haven't had time to check it out since I've been working so much on BSv2. Last week I literally watched 15 minutes of TV the entire week.



This movie was so far ahead of it's time that it's almost ridiculous. I think that BSv3 will be shot entirely at night and in the rain as a tribute to Blade Runner...

Front Wheel Powered Camera

I saw this over on the Surly Blog


A Surly Pugsley setup with a front wheel powered camera. A film maker trekked across Antarctica to make a movie, and collect ice samples. You can read the full article here.

New Threads

The guys at Mishka sent me a box full of stuff this week. I'm digging it. Thanks guys!

Diverge Skateboard Company

Last night I went to visit my friend Ben (who has helped me with many things on the Bootlegs project), and I saw one of these hanging on his wall...


It's the new deck from Diverge, a skate company out of Indy. I can't really decide if I think it's beautiful in a disturbing way or disturbing in a beautiful way, but I like it.

Jose Martinez Photography

It is safe to say that J. Martinez's photography played significant role in marketing Bootleg Sessions Vol I. As of late our boy has had some amazing opportunities to display his photography to larger audience.

He captured some amazing pictures up at Formula Drift in Long Beach that are up on his photo album.


Also, he was contacted to take some pictures of New York City architecture in the only way J. Martinez can capture for Flavorpill magazine


J. Martinez is coming up ladies and gents. I hope you guys enjoy his work as much as we do. Check out his blog over at Fatlace to see his regular updates. To see all of his work on display head over to http://www.negativo.org.

Congrats Jose! Keep up the good work.

Bash Your Bike

BMW helped me out with this new E-13 mountain bike spider, chainring, and guard. The guard is made to deflect huge impacts, and so far it has. It slides really well on ledges, and didn't break on the second try like my home made piece of shit, haha.



This thing is incredibly thick, its ridiculous.




Thanks guys!

New Bike Day

Thanks to Jeremy from Jersey I got an awesome new bike today for a great deal.

Redline Monocog size Medium frame and fork
OG GT hubs laced to Vuelta Airline 1 rims with a 20th freewheel
Joytech hub in the front laced to the same rims
180MM REDLINE FLITE CRANKS (I have always loved these cranks since I got into BMX years ago)
36t Profile Imperial Sprocket from an old bike (I swapped out the 30t HTP Victim sprocket)
S&M 101 pedals
Shimano LX Levers and V-Brakes
Easton Monkey Bars
Vetta Saddle
Bontager Seatpost (I swapped out from my Surly and put the Titec the monocog came with on there)
Profile Chain Tensioner
Clamp on Grips

The seatpost was seized. So with some liquid wrench and about an hour of muscle it was out.

I'm stoked on this bike. New polo/MTB bike.
