HOLY FUCK!
Anyone remember those tacky decals of gun shot holes that you could by for your car? Well Mexicans go one better.

So I’m still in Mexico. 16 days to go. Since the half way period time has flown and now I’m faced with my imminent release back into the wild. Like a captive tiger that gets released into it’s ‘native’ environment I’m somewhat
So even though I’m suck in the doesn’t doesn’t mean I can’t work. DIRT just posted an interview I conducted with Danny Hart. CLICK HERE TO SEE IT…
This was once the view from my work, The &Bar in Wanaka New Zealand. It’s gone now.
A slight change of gear
What about the riding in Mexico? I know your desperate to find out what it’s like. Come inside to find out more.
Wow thats a huge picture! I’ve managed to nail down Carter Holland for an interview when I road trip through Cali in Feb. With all the interesting developments going on at BLKMRKT like the release of the Contraband and the Killswitch frames, and some rather major structuring, I’m pretty excited to be able to sit…
Installment number two of the Mexico In Photos. Now you know what the area looks like and what lives here, it’s time to put some colour into the Why of being here.
So you may remember the video of the TURD SANDWICH trail thats been posted up on all your favourite social networking and the best websites recently. A superbly flowy looking trail in Queenstown, NZ that was handcrafted by a group of motivated renegades who call themselves The Alliance. Well I took time out from Christmas…
So it’s about time I made some comment about my time here in Mexico. Despite being incredibly creatively stimulated by my surroundings and the situation, I’m still struggling to think of a concise manor into which I could pour my thoughts. Instead here is a photo update…
More background tales on the Whistler Diaries column that is published in Dirt Magazine each month.
Warning: This isn’t a regular interview. It has been heavily edited but still contains sexual references and swearing.
An article I wrote for [r]evolution Magazine (awesome ozzy magazine) just appeared on shelves. This means there’s more photos of my package (it was hella cold that evening) being printed and distributed throughout the southern hemisphere. My apologies parents. Here’s a link to Tim Pierces TwatPic Page which contains a shoot of the article in…
“Texture is all around us, every moment of the day we feel it through our hands, feet, skin but too often we fail to ponder it any further. What about the texture you feel through your handlebars and pedals when you blow apart that loamy berm, or the crisp feel of riding on a frost -ridden…
Here’s a headcam video that Pangus (Paul Angus) just posted of the brand new TURD SANDWICH trail on Skyline hill in Queenstown. Watching this video gave me a boner. A stonking blood dick twitching boner.
There’s too many amazing places to visit in this life, but there is also many places which once the soul has visited that we can’t shake. Places that are like a drug and we need constant fixes of. Places that inhabit all the corners and crevices of our being. Places that change you for the…
Scott Bedford is a ripper on a bike and is infamous on the web for his naked shenanigans. Here he helps herd the cattle for dinner…
Some days are more creative than others. Today I should of being writing the overdue Whistler Diaries column for issue 96 of Dirt as well as getting ahead with submissions to the next issue of Spoke Magazine. Instead I invented a new drink…
So we have been here for one month and two days. Or is it one month and one day? It doesn’t matter, who’s keeping count? Anyho, heres a little video that goes a tiny way to demonstrating what the Mexico winter is capable of…WARNING MAY C ONTAIN NUTS!!
The LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN is one of my other little side projects, or obsessions. It’s my idea of what a race should be for 99% of riders. There’s several guiding philosophies to it, “FUN IS ALWAYS FIRST PLACE” and “CHEATERS CHEAT THEMSELVES”. There’s a whole nuther webber over here that will document it all. One…
COMING SOON…
Pretty much self explanatory…
So this is the first of a series of entries where I go behind the scenes of my own works. In these entries I will take you, the reader, into the places (both physically and mentally) where I was when I wrote the gibberish I have done for magazines like Dirt Magazine, Spoke Magazine, and…
So Jimmy Carling has bugged Billy at Dirt so much that he has got some sort of gig updating the world on the happenings in Queenstown, NZ on the dirt website. Sound familiar?
Yep its the same video as I entered the other day, but since then Caleb at Spoke Magazine has seen it and posted it up on the brilliant Spoke Web. He even adds these very generous words to his post, “Dain Zafke AKA Golden Boy AKA the Dark Lord’s son AKA WTB marketing guy crashed…
The lesson from this flick is that if you are booking the tickets for your trip to Whistler and you are taking a guy with you who killed millions of people, then double check the dates…
So I’ve been here in Mexico for a month now and I’ve barely mentioned it. It’s taken a while to get up to date and to grasp where I’m at. It’s big big place. Very very remote. I see the sun rise and set everyday. Everything here is covered in spikes, barbs, teeth or stings.…
In the previous post I referenced a blog post by another chap which contained an epic little youtube video that a certain DAIN ZAFFKE , the marketeer behind WTB, edited up from his whirlwind visit to Whistler in November whilst the Bike Mag Mega Test Fest was going on.
As I have ‘relocated’ the gorgeous orange TALLBOY from Santa Cruz Bicycles HQ, I thought it was only fair that I send Mike Ferrentino the occasional update of the atrocities I’m committing upon the Tallboy.
Das Uber- D kicks off the second year of the Queenstown franchises League of Gentlemen The self proclaimed BEST SERIES OF EVENTS TO HAPPEN IN THE OTAGO SOUTHERN LAKES REGION, almost known as the League of Gentlemen not-race series, kicked of its second year of events on the 3rd December 2009 in Queenstown, New…
So last ride I squeezed in before I left for Mexico was a quick ride of the first part of Comfortably Numb and then descending out on Young Lust. Nothing special except for the snow. It had been snowing hard for several days but we were keen to look at the snow line. Colin Meagher…
So the LoG Kiwi Chapter is kicking off over in Queenstown for its second year. This year after months of selections and voting which can be seen on the reality docu “Who wants to be the new Seb Kemp?”, Graeme Cooper was selected to be the new king of the Queenstown chapter of the LoG.…
So after the usual LoG press releases started circulating the web then i found myself getting asked more about what the bloody hell the LoG is and if i could bring the circus to their town. Which got my brain twitching with thought of gold boats, leopard skin toilet seats, and diamond encrusted…
So the insane creation of necessity that I began way back in December 2008, the League of Gentlemen not-race series has kicked off again down in Queenstown, NZ. Its been getting some coverage on Dirt and Spoke web. Here are the links to the coverage LoG kicks off in NZ again press release – Dirt…
Oh wow, occasionally some things just happen in such synchronicity that one must wonder whether it is a deliberate manifestation of an invisible and conspiratorial hand.
The boys from that kick ass publication, Bike Mag, have been staying with us…
Above are links to two mentions I have got on the Spoke Magazine website recently. Granted, I actually posted one myself, but come on it still counts doesn’t it?
Thank you indeed. Thank you for coming along and reading this far. In fact thank you for even spending the time to troll through the mountains of procasturbation material on this here international electronical data base of filth, falsities and frankly, a waste of time. However by saying that i don’t mean to separate myself…
