A Standard Comeback?

New S.T.A. info:

Early stages rundown:
2 models available no names for them yet.

Both will have the gusset.
Both will be available with or without brakes and will be drilled and tapped for removeable tabs.
They will both have pierced top tubes of course.
The lighter version will use tapered chain and seat stays.
The heavier duty version will have straight 7/8′ stays.
The lighter version will have 75 degree head angle and the more classic 74.5 will be on the stronger model.

I'am My Own Self Made Distraction.

Cellphones are Corny.
Almost totally lacking of all the things that made you enjoy it in the first place?I doubt there is a such thing as a mid-twenties crisis,but I will be 24 on January 3rd.A week after that day I will be one week closer to 25.Still doing the same things I've been doing for countless years to keep a smile on my face.Just lately everything has felt stale and more or less like each waking hour is a broken record.Especially here at work.Surrounded by digital clocks,black and white tv monitors.Days blend and blur their way into weeks.Fuck me i wouldn't know what day it was if i didn't go on this site.I was told yesterday that certain people think that I'm losing my mind,let me assure you this is not the case,and certain facts and time frames are incorrect.The reality of it is,and not looking for any pity,advice,or anything.Im just disgusted with what i've become since my last bad concussion.My drug/alcohol use doesn't really help me find a solution to dig myself out of this self made cave of solitude and depression.This isn't a cry for help,just a warning that one day you feel like you have the world and your future by the balls.And the next your alone at the bottom of the food chain bottle in hand trying to dig yourself out of your self made home of self loathing and hatred.Sorry this is blog material just I dunno something hasn't felt right with me for a long time now.I just want to put my finger on it without blaming how fucking empty and isolated I feel from the majority of my friends and family.Let alone the beyond epic failures of my current dating career.I guess just do what you want to do,and have more fun.Try and block out the black and white and aim for some color into your dying ambitions.Sorry for the long post.I just needed to talk to myself,gain some new company..honesty towards me as a part of the human race.
Been listening to a ton of Joy Divison as of late.

I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand,
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?
These sensations barely interest me for another day,
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away.

It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand,
On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, it's a no man's land,
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now,
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow.

What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again,
I'm watching you, I'm watching her, I'll take no pity from your friends,
Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling,
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling.
Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling.

Ratkid is better than you

and this was totally in todays local delco newspaper.
I DID NOT MAKE THIS UP OR CALL THE SOUND OFF WITH THIS,THE DAILY TIMES ACTUALLY FUCKING PRINTED THIS HAAA.

HORNS OF A DILEMMA

To “That Darn Cat:” I didn’t see a panther but I saw a unicorn at the end of a rainbow along 420 in Prospect Park. I also called animal control and they told me to back off the mind-altering drugs! Maybe you should try the same advice. All you have done is to create fear in your community and put a bull’s eye on every large black house cat walking outside.

THIS IS DELCO.

The Semi Official Tom White Interview & FBM Half And Half

No real plan,just over the past few months I composed five facts you probably didn't not know about Tom.Everytime we try and get this little interview done,something always distracts the plan and we end up just shooting the shit,but here you go,enjoy.
1.Tom claims his favorite movie is "Snakes On A Plane" which is a step up from his old favorite,"Captain Ron".
2.He will not be digging or finding any trails to dig at this year.
3.Grinding with Three Pegs does not count.
4.Tom (and myself included) think box jumps and 6ft coping to coping Chad Kagy spines are terrifying if you don't ride park for a really long time.
5.Random Tom fact:The first day he ever had a pair of Poverty pegs on his GT Interceptor he grinded a ten stair downstep ledge,then pedaled fullspeed at a mat for track practice and flipped over the handlebars.
Me and Tom have been thru alot since 1997,from cross country road trips searching out pools,fullpipes,whatever,to being handcuffed together for draining a pool,from countless trips to Asbury Park to ride the Pool (R.I.P) Theres more to Tom White than meets the eye.He might be humble and act like his brand of street riding doesn't matter and he's just another face in BMX world.But the reality is,no one deserves to be where they are at right now in bike riding more than Tom.Since we were kids he was always the first one to charge some deadman gap,or some super scary double down the trails.He might come off as lazy,But he's one of my best friends and I wouldn't change that for the world.Only dude i know that has kept it 100% real since we graduated and has had the chance to break into the bmx industry in a huge way.Just wait for the new Animal video.Hopefully theres some pool,and indoor skatepark footage haaa.
Old standpoint part Tunney thru up on the Dig page for your viewing pleasure.
