All Wheel Peel: XGames Rally Car Final





























It took 21 minutes to get from Altadena to the Home Depot Center and apparently thats some type of record. Having never been to or driven in the greater Los Angeles area I was given the keys to the Maxima and told go fast or go home. Upon entering the venue I proceeded to the Fuji Heavy Industries tent to see what kind of goodies they were supplying to the masses. To my dismay there was nothing left to be had but bad fake tattoos, strike one. We quickly snagged some bottles of augua off a table and headed for the main event and after being herded like cattle through a metal walkway we found ourselves viewing an epic display of all wheel drive superiority. The first thing we saw was a Mitsubishi Lancer flipping end over end after shorting the jump...apparently they didn't get the memo that 43 mph is not enough to clear it, has to be 46. Dave Mirra BMX pro and shit reality Tv show host drove a broken whip to get to the semi finals but crashed after shooting to far to the right. Ken Block and Travis Pastrana were to face off but a compelete electrical failure in Block's car at the starting line ruined that epic battle. Pastrana faced Tanner Foust once again in the final round but this year emerged victorious. There was an abundance of gorgeous blondes, smashed up Imprezas, and lil homies stoked on eyes full of dust and the roaring thunder of catless exhuasts. If you aren't interested in rally car you really should be and if you don't chew Big Red then f@$k you! We'll be back at Summer X next year and every year that it continues to happen as long as rally car is an event and Subaru continues to dominate. Oh and to the Xtreme Employee who threatended to have me arrested, spitting on a Emo band poster is not a crime, its my civic duty.

Soldiers on Sunset: An epic L.A. story Day 3


Roxy Employee and some new friends we made him.

-Well today was an interesting one. Spent most of the day making new friends at Hollywood Ink but that will come later. For now all that I can share is that the Roxy was easy times with pretty good people. 36 Mafia made a three song appearance before going home to polish their oscars and god knows what else. An quick detour and it was off to the famed Hills of Hollywood to cause some debauchery. Whats up is what I can show ya, I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

I haven't met many people in L.A. yet but these ladies sure were friendly. Its nice to know that not everyone in this godforsaken wasteland lives up to the horrible hype that is usually associated with it. One thing I have discovered that no matter WHAT women are always between the ages of 18-22 here, crazy.







The dangerous duo, known not for crime fighting but usually causing the crime. Chief Danbo was in textbook form and General Crosby suggested they take it back to the old days and destroy a condo, none were to be found.





We did however find Beverly Hills and the residence of the Dingo and some other characters. Apparently Dyrdek just bought a house up the street but we didn't feel like getting shot with the net gun to find out. Drama's girlfriend called him a bunch of times but he didn't pick up so she had to settle for a warm slice of couch or something, Hollywood good times.

If you weren't keeping track I think there was 4 legit name drops in there and hopefully enough generally useless information to make you think,"I scrolled down as wasted precious minutes of my life for that?!" We'll be back tomorrow with far more interesting material and triple the photo content because as we learned tonight, not everything we shoot is ok to put online.

Thanks to Big Vern for posing for so many photogs with the girls.

hong kong, lan kwai fong, party all night long

quick side note before i get into the exploits of hong kong, our 1 year anniversary, one of the greatest weekends of my life: prosser hates a good time, all night parties, Columbian beauties, and thus felt obligated to return home without adding a notch in his belt courtesy of HK. 

-prosser trying to avoid bird flu
ashton and i outside 'around the world in 80 wh0res-

Lucky for us my brother lives in hong kong, and fuck if he didn't 
roll out the red carpet, hand us the key to the city, and demand we run wild all day, all night, as we went on a decadent and debaucherous 72 hour rampage
 through the former British colony.

From magnums of GreyGoose, and bottles of champagne with blazing flares, to the nearly 35' long shark tank behind our booth, the scene was set at M1NT nightclub for us to have one hell of a great 1st anniversary.  Unfortunately, Josh Walker from BERN Helmets was supposed to make it Hong Kong to enjoy the debauchery with us, but he got stuck in the Dong, one of china's legendary, filthy, southern factory towns, Donguan.  Too bad for walker, just like prosser he missed a hell of a time.
The pictures speak for themselves, enjoy 'em!
