WHAT!

I saw this quick clip of Jake Lineberry on Matt Jones' MySpace page.
If you know where this spot is you know the dirt bank isn't that steep and he had to cut across 2 roads and an intersection to get the much speed!
BONKERS!

Whore Island Jam

So today was the Whore Island Jam and people were going off!!! About 40 riders showed up to the Clinton Skatepark, it was hot as all hell out and there was all kinds of madness! Check out the photos, they'll tell the story of the day! Over 50 photos at: TYRANT's Photos

Office antics

Jason brought his mountain bike into the office this morning because its suppost to rain out. Since it wasn't 9:00 yet I had time to play around a little.

Pogo...in "work clothes" and loafers!

TYRANT sponsored by UHAUL

...or not! Anyway, T and I went down to have our "last supper" with Shawn and Meryll. Tomorrow is the big day, Hebrank heads to MinneCRAPolis. Shawn is driving a 17 foot UHAUL 2/3 the way across the country, I had to make my mark. Heck, that's free advertising!

Best of luck guys. Thanks so much for everything!!!


*NOTE: I don't approve of vandalism using my TYRANT stickers. If you do it, I don't want to know about it! This was advertising...not vandalism :)

DVD time!

I just got the Final Cut Studio 2 for my MAC, $1,300 worth of professional video & audio editing software. To go along with that I picked up a 320 gig external hard drive. Let the TYRANT DVD creation begin! This thing is going to be legit!

Hebrank heads west

So today is Shawn Hebrank's last day in Connecticut. Tomorrow morning he and his wife are headed West to Minneapolis. Shawn has supported the hell out of TYRANT over the past few years I've know him and I totally appreciate that! I could never repay him for the countless sketches, pieces or artwork and tattoos he's done for me over the years! We're going to miss you dude! MinneCRAPolis doesn't know what's they've got coming!

With that said, Saturday night a bunch of people got together at Rudy's in New Haven to wish Shawn and Meryll well before they leave. It was a really fun time and in true TYRANT fashion I was acting like an idiot.

Are these things vegetarian?

Sunday is fun day

I know the title is lame, but "Sunday Session" has been used a half dozen times. Anyway, T and I picked up "Tiny Tyrant" and headed out to a few of his local parks in the Northwest corner of the state. The day started with a little scare when I bailed out 180ing a platic jersey barrier and hit my head pretty hard. I was wearing a helmet, but I was still knocked for a serious loop. Ouch! Brandon was shredding like usual and he is running his bike brakeless. It was a gorgeous Spring day and we had a good time riding our bikes. Have a look at the photos over at TYRANT's Flickr.

Quarter to Quarter

3rd in the Nutmeg's

Congrats to TYRANT supporter Bob German on placing 3rd in the Nutmeg State Games Cat. 3 Criterium. For those of you who don't follow road racing, its 25 one mile laps (25 miles) of all out riding. Bob races for CCNS/ Pedal Power, the same team I raced on last year....and will race for this year when I get my a$$ in shape. What was also a amazing was that 45 minutes after riding a the 25 mile Cat. 3 race Bob raced the Open Pro Cat. 1,2,3 race, a field that was full of big name pro riders. It was great to see Bob hang in and place in the top 30...not bad for a 17 year old kid in his 2nd year of road racing!

NO BIKES IN STAMFORD!

Yeah, I caught wind that BIKES WILL NOT BE ALLOWED at the amazing Stamford Park I've been posting photos of. Total BS if you ask me! I'm not too concerned! It is going to be another Groton...early AM BMX sessions before the wood pushers come.

Got $600 to spend?

Cody Caron is selling his BMX bike! It's worth over $1,000, but he's asking $600. Contact me for details!
