I can't wait

To finish this!!
I got after it for a few minutes today after promptings from Andy, Jake and bolts loyalist Nick. Worked out some spacing issues, pressed new wheel bearings, started the sissy bar. EDR, thats the goal!!

My little brother is a badass and I love the shit out of him, no homo... maybe kinda homo. He did a 6 year stint in the Air Force, turning wrenches on C-5's and C-17's. As soon as he got out, he scored a gig as a bushpilot in Alaska. The company he flies for is the subject of a new show on The Discovery Channel, Flying Wild Alaska. Shit premiers tonight, 10 o'clock Utah time. Get into it, see if my little homie scores some BGP time (AKA, background props).

LOVE from the road

So our buddy Julian from Mizu was heading out to Phoenix today to meet me for the Love Cycles show tomorrow I got this text with these two pictures an hour or so ago.

Keep em Coming




We have gotten a TON of great entries over the past five days. You have till Sunday to submit your photos.

Also, a little fun fact: The ROW(or Rest of World) is representing almost 75% of the photo submissions. Those thanks to all of the international readers for their support.

America, get your ass in gear.

The "Show Us What You Got" Contest


Here's the deal. Being that BOLTS ACTION is pretty centric around photos and documenting our journeys, we want to see what you have to share.

What are we looking for? Well, we want to see what you think is the raddest photo, involving a motorcycle, that you have to offer. Its pretty vague so we are leaving it up to you to judge what to send in.

The rules are as follows....

- Photos must be yours. I.E. originals, not an Easyrider scan
- If you want to be a contender then send in a legit file, not a pixelized camera phone image
- Get creative
- Email us a photo HERE
- Get it to us by a week from today(16th) and the winner will be posted on the morning of the 17th.

Why? Because I know there are a lot of you out there doing cool shit and we want to see it.

What will the Winner Get? Something that is currently unavailable for sale, a BOLTS Package containing; 2 BOLTS T's, 2 Patches, some stickers, buttons, a Mizu water/gas bottle, and maybe a random photo.

I swore I would never put anything Gay on my car

What a great title for this post right. I mean just look at the brand name on that box.

This has absolutely nothing to do with motorcycles. However, anyone that works on their own bike, car, whatever, can appreciate how gnarly these photos are. I had a wheel bearing go bad on my wagon. How do you know its gone bad you ask? Well it sounds like you have rocks in your tires. I buckled down and pulled it out last night. It was a pain in the ass to get out and here you can see why. I have never seen a ball bearing do this before. They are like little squares.

Numb

Not a fun morning. Smoked a wheel bearing on my S4 yesterday. Thought I could take the van to work this morning, went out to get it warmed up and ready to go only to realize that the heater core was frozen solid(that should hint at how cold it is). No worries, guess that leaves me with only one option: The Shomper

Wow, 18 degrees is brisk when you haven't mentally prepared for it. Made it in one ROCK SOLID piece though. Thanks Old Man Winter.

The Look.....back

When January rolls around everyone starts to get all sappy about the previous years stuff and how the New Year will bring much better things.

Well after putting this little vid together it looks like 2010 is going to be a tough one to top. As Jeremy put it, "For a year that felt like we did nothing, we sure did a lot!"

That's the truth.

Thanks to everyone that made 2010 amazing, and thanks to all of you that check the site and supports us. Its the driving force behind documenting our craziness.

Peep the credits too, it took me a minute to think of everyone. If I missed you, well you should of done more shit with us.

Love and Respect. Enjoy

MotoMonday 13



I love it! Not sure what it is exactly, but the crisp bite of the air is a definite lure when it comes to hoping on the whip and droppin' in for a chilly dip!

MM more to come

SO FUN!

The 13th

Just got home from Moto Monday. It was slightly brisk. Great turnout considering the frigid temps and icy roads. Some took both a little TOO serious and drove their cars. But hey, at least they showed up! Thanks to everyone that came. Stone, Jer, and Seth all have great footage of this months extravaganza to come. Get off your warm ass and go ride!

10 Days Of The Condors.

Utah's been getting dumped.
In the past week and a half, I've ridden more days at Brighton than I have in the previous 2 years. This is a sad testament to my shred activity. I've also been ridiculously lazy in my approach to shooting shred, staying true to my number one rule of snowboard photography: "G11 from where I stand". This is my excuse for shitty angles... but hey, looking for the snowboarder against the trees makes for a fun game of Where's Waldo. Get into it.
**********
It's looked like this for days.
Brock making rabbitfood.
Shapers.
Jer, sending it at Wönder Kickër.
Trés ninjas, trés chic.
Adam, pointin' it.
Jer getting juiced.
Jer, tailgrab on the moon.
Brock is a fucking machine.
Brock is also a local. Do not forget this.
Hobbs says hi.
Somehow, I have no jump shots of Seth. I blame this on the fact that he consistently sends it faster than I can unzip my jacket and pull my camera out.
Essentials.
Gotta pay to play.
Low speed droppers are still fun.
Jared, doling out Stoke Points.
Utah fucking rules.
Q: What's the difference between a duck? A: A dog.
Jer, doing something.
Seth... not shredding. I'm fucking fired.
Jer, sacred sacramental coffee.
Brock, sacred sacramental Sprite.
Brock bringing around a pretty monsterhuge backflipper.
So necessary.
Sarah puts up with a lot of shit to hang with the boys.
This shot sucks. On a bluebird day, this shot would make an amazing credit card ad.
Brock is a fucking weirdo.
Brock fucking sends it. Always.
Jer, gripped.
Jer had to handle some sharky fingers to score these white lines in Hollywood, but he swears it was worth it.
I love this shit.
