wild tonys house

this weekend i headed out to arkansas to ride some back yard ramps at a guys house named Tony Carruth who was a huge part of the bmx scene starting in the 80's and going till today.. arkansas bmx history..its crazy to think how much bmx history there is out there.. all these kids that think the bmx scene ends with them and their local skatepark, are just a speck in the bmx community.. its nice to go out and see other parts of it
  the arkansas bmx scene is small but soooo tight.. what they did for tony for his 50th birthday party proved that.. everyone pitched in and bought him a new bike, and a signed freestyle book from mat hoffman and corrigan came out there and spent his own money to  rebuild tonys back yard ramps and build some new stuff so the local kids and everyone from around there would have a fun place to ride..it was a great time and i cant thank everyone enough for the amazing hospitality and having us there to celebrate such an awesome event..

tony carruths mom? she called me muscle man all day and said i "talked with my eyes".. we are in love



on the way to the party we saw signs on the side of the road for a lady running for state rep and her name was anna grizzle...i grabbed one and modified it and had clayton hold it while i did a grizz air in tribute to the old school good times.

good times for all




and last but not least...after the party we all went back to ted and levi's house to have some fun, and i shit you not, the town over from the town they live in is called "toad suck". google it..they have a big festival called "toad suck daze" where people go there and trip on mushrooms or something.. they drove me there so i could snap some pics with some frogs




and heres 5 random clips in random order to make what some might call an "edit"..i call it a memory


hey crandall.. tony said you owe him money.. for using a picture of his goat on the front of your dvd..i guess he thinks you made money off his goat?? your gonna have to call him and work out a reasonable price.
