Frankie


Here is the third picture, this one is of Frankie Carino. He blasted this table out right before the session was over on Christmas day. Stay tuned more to come soon!

MTB


I know a lot of people my self included usually say if your going to stunt do it on a 20 inch bike. However I can not talk shit on Danny MacAskill, the man that became famous for his youtube video that was ridiculous. He went on to make a commercial for VW which was equally outlandish, and finally I noticed that he had an article in the New York times. Go check it out if your interested, this dude is rad as hell. On another note this picture is really funny to me because the bmx kid in the background is definitely saying to himself, what the hell.

New sequence

Check out the new sequence I just threw up on my flickr. I would post it to the blog but the file sizes are to large and the blogger page sucks at life. Don't be lazy just click the link. Pictures were shot by Frankie.

Dollywood

I guess I am going to make some posts today. I was browsing through some things, and in doing so I found a new blog for people to check out called Dollywood. I went to school with Dali, and she is doing some modeling while attending school at the U of A. There isn't much up on her blog right now but bookmark it and check back on it. Here is the link.

Art School

Here is a video that Frank had to make for one of his assignments. I have to say Frank is better at making things happen with pictures than film, but the end of this video is so rad.
On a second note Christmas is tomorrow, and you know that means, YMCA ride! Call us up if you want to get your shralp on! Also the Hi-5 is out of state right now, Jack is in Vegas getting his skate park shred on probably as we type! From the Hi-5 Merry Christmas! Post are coming soon.

Episode Two

Here is the second episode in the serious, and rumor has it a holiday edition is in the works for episode three. Hope you enjoy

John interview

The other day John and I decided to do a text interview, this is what we came up with. Also here are a few pictures from Frankie, he took them while he was here over Thanksgiving break.


Mike: What do you think about those Hi-5 guys? Shook or not shook?

John: Not shook. The whole shook and grom phrases have been taken way to far. They love riding just as much if not more than anyone. They get hated on for having fun.




Mike: What's this shit about you having a Hemi? True or False?

John: True, my bike got a new paint job courtesy of the Jackal to match a 1970 AAR CUDA. Shes fast as hell and a bit heavy, but she's a beauty. Like queen said, fat bottom girls make the rockin world go round.



Mike: Is it true you like boys or do you just like grabbing there dicks?

John: False to both. I just like to make people uncomfortable, whether telling filthy stories, showing BME videos or rubbin up against em like a cool breeze.




Mike: What is your opinion on Tucson as a whole?

John: Too hot, too much hate. I wish there could be a complete scene. But we got pre madonnas that refuse to ride with certain people which just takes away from the fun. Everyone is too hung up on new spots and filming the next greatest video part. It never used to be like that. We used to be able to ride a parking lot for hours and have the time of our lives, not so much anymore. For riding Tucson ins't the best but if your looking to retire and play golf everyday, your set.



Mike:Who has the biggest influence on the Tucson scene in your opinion?

John: I don't think anybody has an influence on the scene. But Bissell is the undisputed mayor of BMX in this town. Without him and dudes like Ross Cole BMX would not be nearly as big as it is today. Bissell has killed it for so long, whether it's a janky ditch, pool, or getting NAG 1. He just loves to ride. I also think a lot can be said about what Mikey has accomplished through clicked, by organizing city hall meetings to jams and getting everyone together to have fun on their bikes.



Mike: In two words explain everyone in the Hi-5.

John: Extremely supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus!

Mike: I meant separate.

John: Oh, I like mine better so fuck you and go with it.

Mike: Ok?



Mike: Rumor has it you and Jack are getting a house together, what are you going to name it?

John: The pimp palace fuck farm? I dunno. We're accepting names.


Mike: What is up with your new tattoo?

John: Haha, that is definitely mine. But I also agree with Lynn, it's so wrong but also funny, kinda like your hair.

Mike: Whats wrong with my hair?

John: Lol, calm down.



Mike: Ok most interviews end with thanks, that shit sucks. End it how you will Mr. Nasty Pants.

John: Wack, come up with something or your fired.

Mike: What do you mean?

John: I got nothing. I'll think it over and get back to you.

Birthday weekend


This weekend is a birthday combo, we have Frank's Birthday on Sunday. Today however is Coach's wife birthday, Angie! Jack and I had this cake made for her, and I decorated it. Also note that Jack's sister makes cakes for a living, so if you ever need a cake made for an occasion she is the lady to call.
Tomorrow brings us Sunday, the riding day of the week. Clips should be captured and good times are to be had. Give us a call if you want to partake in the good ole time! We get going in the morning so drag your hung over ass out of bed and get your stunting shoes on!

Surprise for Frank

I know I am a couple hours early with this, but happy birthday man. Jack and I put this together for you. I have had this idea for a little bit and figured what better time to try it out. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAN!

Get'n some.

Here is a picture from tonight. Lokes was calling this double tire ride out for me to do. I did land it but I wanted to try and blast off to the moon or something. Must have been the three cups of ice cream I ate.
There should be a bunch of posts coming soon on what the five has been up to recently. I am just waiting on some photos and such. As always big things happening with the five. We are never shook!

The Adventures of Sergeant Soggy Button's.


This is just another weird idea that I have. Ok lied I can't take full credit for this. John said one of his usual ridiculous things, so I decided to draw it. I am taking it one step further as well, this is going to be an on going serious.

Seargent Soggy Button's (yes I know it is spelled wrong) is the tale of a meth'd out male, who has no real name. Mr. Button's is just another rad dude looking to get down. Oh yeah and he wears a kitty suit and crawl in doggie doors, so watch out.

Turkey


I am not a fan of thanksgiving, but this turkey day weekend is going to be rad. The crew has some good plans for the long weekend. Hopefully nothing but riding and good times are to be had for the next five days! I will try to get an update everyday but who knows what will happen with people coming in to town, turkey to eat, sooo much riding to do. Possible jams going down? The possibilities are endless.

Crazy

What the hell was he thinking?

NY riding


mani 180





Had a good afternoon yesterday did some riding. We started the afternoon off at this little skatepark with some fun mani jibbers then over to the 1 dollare fulofle spot and 1 dollar pizza spot. then headed over to cooper union to ride the big bank. Got a good 15min session in on it till security finely caught up to us and we got the boot, but it was dark by that time so I grabed a 6 pack of good old PBR and went home to chill.
