More from Tultepec..

A little love in the form of a boyfriend shielding his girlfriend from the onslaught of flaming projectiles:

..and a little hate during one of two brutal beat downs I witnessed that night:

Def not my best technical work but I suppose something’s better than nothing. Happened so quick!

More soon..

OMFG YES! LIFE SIZE STAR WARS X-WING FIGHTER MADE ENTIRELY OF LEGOS IN TIMES SQUARE NOW!!

SO going to check this out tomorrow morning before work:

I'm def dorking out over the whole construction method/size and materials more than the subject matter. THo I could think of less rad things to emulate with legos..

It's up until this Saturday so be sure to check it out soon. The weather is shit right now but hopefully we'll catch a break soon and or they keep it up a bit longer..

Also, I finished a killer new rack recently and will be posting it shortly. Just waiting for some free time and nice light to photograph it :-)

Wow do ever I fucking LOVE this video from Pure Fix Cycles and Plutonium!!

Plutonium x Pure Fix Cycles from Pure Fix Cycles on Vimeo.

Naturally my first reaction was:

But then I was like:

Why? I'm glad you asked! Let me explain:

The reason I love the video is because it just so happens that I have something along a similar tone, or wait, is what they're doing along a similar tone to me?? I mean really, spray painted everything, fire, black and orange- come on! Then again staten island is actually rates far lamer than Jersey by people who don't know fuck all about Jersey because if they did, let me tell you we'd be up there! Oh and let's not forget that:

I DON'T WORK WITH GARBAGE..

No but seriously, I'm putting together a new locker/beater bike rebuild of sorts with lots of fun new parts, a fresh new rack and yup, you guessed it, black and orange spray painted parts. But don't worry, believe it or not, I haven't really given much away. Aside from the fact that this shit is going to irevicably ANNIHILATE the living shit out of that PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT that for some ungodly reason warranted yet another barf in mouth worthy video..
