No comment on the Grand Canyon, that damn hole is so fricken big you can’t focus on anything. It’s insane.

Jeff & I drove down to nearly Texas the other day, the event was insane. Seriously you need to show up a week early to get enough practice in, especially if you’ve never ridden the park. Friday & Saturday practice, you’re lucky if you get 30-40 runs in before qualifiers. Special thanks to Jeremiah who [...]

So the strip recently opened their brand new “City Center” project which is INSANE. Originally estimated at $4 Billion, Dubai partner in and loaned the project an additional $8 [...]

Once again, blown away in a third world country. Evan & I visited CR last year and decided to go back. This year my brother Matt happened to be studying down there for 4 months. We rented an SUV, started in a small surf town on the southern Pacific coast, and each day worked our [...]

Caleb & I drove to Cali. Yes the yellow H2 with “Big Blu” the monster shrink wrapped boat and the Range Rover pulling the Harley in the yellow trailer.
Caleb & Nicky drove together, so I took my girl (wish she we’re my girl) Lily, TEACUP YORKIE.
Why? We moved a client’s family into Orange County California [...]

Evan and I are in San Francisco, and boy, did we ever fit in… Upgrading our rental car to a Mustang convertible was totally worth it for this photo alone. You may or may not know that just about every tech company you’ve every heard of is located in the Silicon Valley area, so Evan [...]

The most ridiculous contest ever. Roll in bunny hop off 2 ocean containers. 14′ long x 12′ drop into an 8′ landing. Peoples knees were giving out when they hit this thing. One kid hung up on the landing and rodeo bucked to his face & went to the ER within the first 10 mins [...]

Shortly after bailing out of the plane (which you can see in the top of the photo) and dropping from 15000 feet. At this point it seriously feels like time has stopped as you travel 120 MPH towards earth… Nothing can compare to free falling like this, words can’t describe it.

Ashley & I checked out Yosemite for the first time.. I don’t believe I’ve ever really been to any of the large national parks. Seriously blown away..

QBPBMX on Props Mega Tour 8! Downtown NYC. Seriously the most fun of the whole trip… Weaving through traffic, blowing stop lights & stop signs with other local commuters, right in front of dozens of NYPD. It appeared as if they couldn’t care any less.
