Nick From NZ

I met Nick on the Long Road this year-- you'll see me make mention of him in the LR coverage in issue #123. Mighty fine chap indeed! He was working a particularly cleaver plan in where he flew to the states, bought a newish Dyna, rode it all over the place for a month or so, had it shipped back to NZ, sold it, and used that cash to fund the entire trip! Brilliant! He kept telling me about this long pan that he rides back in NZ, but I never caught a glimpse of it until this morning when he sent me this photo of him and his daughter sittin' proud. Fucking slick ride Nick, I dig it!

GTP Does A Wheelie, Part Deuce

I've had a lot of people ask me, "Say, Jordan, what does the footage look like from the go-pro mounted on GTP's panier in the wheelie painting you did a few fridays ago?"

 Well, here are some screen shots from that footage. The third one is when I snapped the picture, i do believe. Notice my expression in the last one, ha!

Still a little ways away from even beginning to edit the footage down for the Smoke-Out DVD, mainly because i've been so swamped with just getting laying out bike features, and editing and compiling Backtalk, and keeping up with maintaining the Horse Website (since I became "webmaster" a little while ago) and uploading the issues to the server for print, and dealing with changing advertisements from different advertisers, and just generally trying to not go insane while wearing a hundred different hats.

 p.s. thank you to all the bands who submitted music. Sadly, i've been so swamped that I haven't even had a chance to listen to hardly any of it, but rest assured I still have all your e-mails and music links, and if you haven't heard from me yet, you will soon. And if you've got a band and want to be on the soundtrack, its not too late!

Stampede Fools

Here are some photos by El Nomad that are going in his article on the Stampede for issue 123 of everyone who placed in this year's Stampede. My hat goes off to each and every one of these guys (and girl!) I got to meet and hang out with a bunch of them at this year's smoke out, and let me tell you, they are every bit as crazy and insane as you'd think they would be. Interesting to see all their bikes lined up like this too, such a variety in size and style.


Two of my favorite bikes go to Syrus for being just a crazy small dirt bike looking thing that I wouldn't want to take out of my backyard let along across the country, and Dennis's Sporty, that thing just has the stance nailed... Oh, and he got the Leper award this year for his bike quite literally falling apart on him during his ride, but you'll have to wait and read all the details about it in Charlie's article in issue 123!!!


Congrats again guys and gal!
