Lol, Yea I'm the same way, always busy man :-) But wouldn't have it any other way.

Well since its a sunny day out here, and seeing Alan's bike and boomer pics, it gave me motivation to take the chrome outside and let it do what it does best, SHINE...enjoy ;-)

Last Sunday the family and I hit a vintage bike show put together by Gary Turner of GT bicycles. I just had to represent, so I came equipped with my 2nd gen 931 with "blu fuz" strap. We weren't even there for 2 minutes when a guy came up to me with one of the biggest smiles I've ever seen. He started asking me questions about my LASONIC and then he told me his boombox story from when he was a kid. PRICELESS...

As we made our way towards the DJ booth, he noticed the bling and immediately got on the mic, and to my surprise he announced for all to hear and said "This next jam is going out to this guy right here, with the classic boombox, he knows how to keep it old school!" Then he pumped out the classic hit "RADIO" by LL COOL J, the crowd loved it :-)
Here he is posing with my LASONIC, and my friend and I with him at the booth...

I got to meet actor Bill Allen as well, who played "CRU JONES" in the 80's BMX/Freestle movie "RAD" he signed my book and I got him to strike a Boomboxery pose with me

They had a Freestyle show at 3:00, but by then the DJ had packed up and left. My family and I were just chillin curbside waiting for the show to start when one of the guys that was gonna perform rode up to me and asked, "Hey does that thing work?" so I said YUP, I got 10 fresh D's in this baby! So he asked if I would provide the music for their performance, I was like Hell Yea! I was honored to play for these OG riders. So I cranked up a bunch of 80's jams for their show while they performed. Here's Eddie Fiola in the first picture, who rode for many companies including HARO and GT and starred in the movie RAD, and a few others having a blast doing what they do best, FREESTYLE...

Great California weather, great people, and a lot of memories were shared with me by many that day. That's still the best part about collecting for me. The people. Its priceless to see the expressions on peoples faces when they see these boomboxes from back in the day. And I love hearing their stories and questions. Had a blast :-)

Here's my friends REDLINE GENERAL HUSTLER and the 931, and a few randoms. Get them boomboxess out there on the streetz and have a blast, peace everybody!

THIS is a truly old school BMX if you swapped the bars and saddle with a beach cruiser and took the fenders and chain guard off.


that's how i rolled around offroad in 1972, before BMX
