Fellow Cyclist Killed

Very rarely do we hear about bicycle accidents and even more rare when its someone we know. Just recently on the past Around the Island ride on Friday night a fellow fixed gear rider was involved in a hit and run. It is very disheartening to hear about this happening as this year has been the all time high in bicycle deaths in Hawaii. More info can be found here: http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/breaking/112126494.html

Let Hawaii know, keep the roads safe!
RIP Zach

This combo in the bubbler Has thee most unreal flavor!  The taste is super sweet at fisrt from the bubba then as soon as the flame starts melting that widdow hash its like a razor blade to the throat.(in a good way)
The high is super heady and creative and totally makes me wanna get on my bike... seeya!

FREE WILLY

I pulled this article from NaturalNews.com 








(NaturalNews) Marijuana prohibition is the cornerstone of the U.S. police state. It gives cops a reason to search vehicles and keeps DEA employees on the payroll while filling the prisons with literally millions of people who have harmed no one except themselves. 

Country singer superstar Willie Nelson is the latest victim of this police state marijuana prohibition. His vehicle was stopped at animmigration checkpoint (yes, immigration) in Sierra Blanca, Texas, where an officer claimed he smelled pot. A search of the vehicle turned up six ounces of marijuana for which Willie Nelson was arrested along with two other people.

For the record, Willie Nelson is 77 years old. The whole point of arresting people and sending them to prison is to isolate violent, dangerous people from the rest of the public in order to protect public safety. Does anybody seriously believe that Willie Nelson is a threat to public safety? He's practically the most harmless guy on the planet.


Immigration checkpoints used against U.S. citizens

The other important point here is that all this took place at an immigration checkpoint. This is supposed to be a place where U.S. officials look for vehicles full of people illegally entering the United States from Mexico. Did Willie Nelson look like an illegal alien? Of course not. He's obviously a U.S. citizen (and a well-known celebrity on top of that), yet that didn't stop this immigration checkpoint officer from searching his vehicle.

You see, there's something that all the people who support tighter illegal immigration fences, walls and checkpoints haven't yet realized: All that security is going to be used against YOU, too! Border Patrol officers and U.S. feds aren't just looking for illegal aliens, you see: They're also looking to arrest people who are obviously U.S. citizens -- and they will arrest you for things that have nothing to do with immigration.

Are you carrying some fertilizer in your truck? Ah, now you're a terrorist with "bomb making materials." Have some duct tape in your vehicle? Now you have materials that can be used "to bind the hands of kidnapping victims." And if you're smoking a joint, God forbid, now you're going to be hauled off to jail by these immigration checkpoint officers who apparently have nothing important to do.


Why marijuana prohibition makes no sense

For the record, I'm not a marijuana smoker, and I would never encourage any individual to take up such a habit unless they had a legitimate medical need for pain relief. However, I am totally against the continued persecution of individuals who buy, possess or consume this medicinal herb. They harm no one but themselves, and smoking marijuana produces side effects that are far milder than drinking alcohol.

In fact, in America today it's perfectly legal to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and even drug your own kids with "speed" in the form of prescription amphetamines for ADHD. And yet marijuana -- which makes people feel lazy and hungry -- remains illegal. You have to wonder: Why?

Why is marijuana criminalized in America? The answer is simply that marijuana prohibition is the cornerstone of the American police state. Keeping this herb illegal keeps millions of people employed in law enforcement who otherwise wouldn't have jobs. It keeps the prison industry strong and gives cops a reason to search vehicles.

It even gives law enforcement officers yet another excuse to hold "terrorism drills." Seriously: A recent terrorism drill in Northern California imagined pot heads taking over Shasta Dam and blowing up vehicles (http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle...). These cops must have a lot of free time on their hands to dream up these wild (and highly improbable) scenarios. But keeping marijuana criminalized allows them to spend more taxpayer moneyrunning these useless drills that, after all, keep them all well paid.

At the same time, it causes billions of dollars a year to flow into the underground black market economy -- money that would otherwise be used to raise tax revenues for states. (http://stopthedrugwar.org/speakeasy...)

The "War on Drugs" has been a complete and utter failure (http://drugpolicy.org/drugwar/). It's also a huge waste of law enforcement resources. I'd much rather see cops going afterreal criminals like the CEOs and executives of drug companies, Monsanto and Wall Street banksters.

Legalizing and taxing marijuana would end the illegal drug trafficking in marijuana and deny revenues to drug gangs and drug dealers. It would raise billions of dollars for states and eliminate the huge costs of incarcerating marijuana "criminals." It would free up resources throughout the court system and give cops the time to go after violent criminals such as murderers and rapists.

And it would end this moronic system that arrests a harmless 77-year-old country western singer for marijuana possession at an immigration checkpoint.

My new whip.

I recently got my Mordecai  and have only got to ride it prolly about a week before I severed a tendon in my finger. This bike is really nice i love the way it rides, One of the first things I noticed once it was all built up was that it was way lighter than my last frame, and at almost half the cost! thats a big cheehee for us non sponsored riders because I've spent waay too much money on these bikes in the last year.

I  also wanted to max out my tire size so I could get the most kushion when I land. My lbs only had 2.0 serfas drifters for like 35$ a tire.  I already had those and wanted to try something bigger and cheaper this time around.  After searching and searching I realized i had a ton 26' tires right underneath my house from my girls old beach cruiser. I went to peep the size on the cruiser tires and to my suprise they were 2.125's
sweet!  After I put my tires on I couldnt resist riding, even though my fingers still fucked. It feels great now with bigg ass tires and I cant wait to heal up and rush all these spot I've been eyeing out for months now.

Prop 19 Dies



I was kinda bummed to hear that prop 19 got shut down the other day. Even though I don't live in cali I was still hopeful for the west coast.

California voters rejected Proposition 19, the initiative that would legalize small amounts of recreational marijuana use statewide.
Fourteen years after approving marijuana for medical purposes, the state’s voters refused to make it legal for anyone 21 or older to grow, possess and use small amounts of pot. Possession would have been limited to less than an ounce, and cultivation to 25 square feet of private land, but marijuana would have remained illegal under federal law.



Oh well prop 19 or no prop19 you know your boy...



wiz khalifa kush & OJ

BURRRR!

I aint gonna front I wasnt a big gucci fan 6 months ago,shits been kinda growing on me lately in a bad way.haha anyways this is my fav cut off the new album.







RIP All-city


I purchased an all city dropout about  6 months ago after I ended up breaking my Airwalk frame. This frame is ok, its not very 26' friendly (had to find out the hard way). kinda heavy :( and a bit pricey if you ask me. I really kinda just rushed into that purchase cuz i needed a frame for my trip to NY last summer.  Dont get me wrong I really kinda liked the dropout, but i think it just needs some tweaks. bigger tire clearance mid bb and lose the built in chain tensioners...yuck.  Things are changing at a rapid pace as far as bike geo and wheel size preference goes. I ended up bending the frame possibly because i crimped the shit out of it tryna fit 2.0's in da back.


  heres a couple clips I got onit before it got bent outta shape.
