Hitman Bikes Trip

Today finds me back home in Austin scrambling to meet the my deadline for Issue 76, editing the last sections and finishing things up. 76 is going to have a pretty wild lineup, one of the features being a Southern California trip with the Hitman Bikes Team. Christian Simmonds and his family have assembled a team of characters that do things their own way, and with guys like Matt Leveige, Koji Kraft, and Ben Snowden you know you're gonna get some wild riding.

The Denver to Albuquerque trip we just shot for Issue 77 was nonstop laughter, with Dang Dang (Tom Dugan) usually being the butt of the jokes. I have to admit that I wasn't sure what to expect of that guy, but I'm really stoked he came along for the ride. Thanks for the laughter, Doogie! The trip was eventful to say the least - the most memorable being a drunk guy falling off the roof of a two story building straight onto his head. I seriously thought the guy was actually dead, and it had a couple of us spooked (turns out that the guy only sustained a major concussion). I hope I never see anything like that again.

Ok, I gotta get back to editing this Kareem Williams Day In The Life (trust me, you guys aren't ready for this one).

I'll write more next week once I get this thing in the can. Look for the Issue 76 trailer and other exclusive goodies on the site next Friday.
