I remember watching this movie, well this scene when I was like in 5th grade or something like that at my Dad's house. And even then I laughed so freakin hard cause it just makes no sense! So the other day I caught myself saying &quot;this rabbit stinks...&quot; and I wondered would the great all mighty youtube have it. And what do you know here it is! In other news I'll be shredding (hopefully) some haven park and maybe H-town on friday and maybe sometime between the two, I'll get a couple of slop pics to throw up on here. And also keep on a look out of a sweet TJD party weekend edit type deal to pop up! So go out, eat some trix, by a pop gun and go pedal somewhere indoors, cause winter is still on a ass kicking mission!</description><pubDate>Wed, 07 Jan 2009 08:28:33 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>the come up bmx</title><link>http://www.thetakeonlife.com/news.php?newsId=478</link><description>the come up put up a video up of me...

I finally got a hair cut after 6 months or so. It was getting to long and it became scene without me knowing. So it was my goal for 2009 to stop being lazy and get a hair cut. So stoked on my new dew and now I should be able to ride without hair in my face.</description><pubDate>Tue, 06 Jan 2009 11:36:02 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Bonus Pictures...</title><link>http://www.thetakeonlife.com/news.php?newsId=476</link><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://s118.photobucket.com/albums/o92/GiveDClothing/?action=view&amp;current=IMG_1686.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o92/GiveDClothing/IMG_1686.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Bike Shit&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
I recently went to LA for the holidays and drove up again this past weekend as well, I'm probably gonna live in LA by mid February... It seems there will be no more rot life for me here in North County... I'll have to pick up where I left off with my rot when I'm up in LA, so looks like I got some work and busy time ahead of me with moving and being a vagabond...
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Here's a few photos I forgot about that I took while I was up in LA for the Holidays... Cannon SD750 gets it done every time. I was gonna slop a bike check with some photos together but it got too dark up on Mulholland... I'm always sure to visit the Mulholland hotspot when I'm up in LA, the view kicks ass 60% of the time, every time.

Doesn't count though because Albert did one 69 feet higher than mine on one of the sketchier ramps I've ever ridden.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Happy New Years!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

PS: Not that it's anything to do with BMX but here's a shot I took of my car. I'm borrowing my girl's camera so expect some decent quality photos for a while!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Oh and here's another random photo I totally forgot about from the D! trip to Berkeley some regretful number of months ago. kind of a whack lookin 360 that took way too many tries to make happen haha. I think it was real soon after I got my first TAKE frame. sikedddd.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;


Included is also a photo of RON passed out drunk on my couch after drinking and watching TAKE it or leave it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Hollar at all my Take Crew and Take upper management, hollar at all my dudes at Last Call too!! I hope everyone had a kickass New Years! I've been rotting it out in the wilderness, gettin rad in the snow on &lt;a href=&quot;http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o92/GiveDClothing/IMG_1749.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt; and basically just eating a lot, watching a lot of prime movies and sleeping probably way too much. I spent a good 70 bucks on &lt;a href=&quot;http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o92/GiveDClothing/IMG_1747.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;movies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt; so far during this trip/vacation up in the Lake Tahoe area, but its all good. Also, be sure to &lt;a href=&quot;http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o92/GiveDClothing/IMG_1751.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;take notes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt; on that Road Warriors/Mad Max double feature for 10 fucking bucks, cameeee up!!! I get back into SD in the early morning tomorrow. I heard there's chance of rain in SD this weekend, not toooo stoked on that weather forecast. I'll make the best of the situation in some prime parking garages if that's what I gotta do. I got the need to shred some shit and its been well over a week since I got my shred on, which is pretty shameful...
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
I'm hoping to get some good things rollin with The Take and its crew this year, its another year to kick ass and have fun!! Also, hoping to get a Take trip going soon too because I'm tired of just talkin about it. This trip NEEDS to happen and I need to get together with all my dudes, spring time is what I'm shooting for. More soon...

&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Well, its snowing once again, on new years none the less. But I'll manage to scrounge up some sort of 'cliche dizzy what happend last night? moment tonight, but that aside. The other day fellow Take shredder, Spam, met up with me at the most sleek and slick, slippery as shit parks on the end basically of my little island for some shredding. We had photos but most of them came out so blurry you'd assume you we're going Ray Charles vision staring at em. BUT! during our session got to witness this 'back to back' (literally) treat.

Well, some of you may have been checking out the team page lately and may have noticed a new face on there... This new face is Dylan Stark and he hails from Orange County, California. I would like to welcome him on behalf of The Take Crew and I, weclome to the team my dude!!

&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
I know what you may be thinking... What good comes out of the OC? Not much to be honest, this kid is a diamond in the rough. I've been wanting to get Dylan hooked up here with The Take for quite a while now and I'm stoked it all finally went through. Those of you who don't know who Dylan is, you soon will, he's an up and comer and shreds harder than most youngins' out there. He's 16, doesn't give a shit, has bling blangz in both ears and just drops hammers like its nothin. I prefer to call him DieLon or Die Lon-Die Lon-Die Lon... So, I will speak of him as such on The Take blog from here on out... He'll be receiving and shredding on his new Ivy 3 ST shortly after New Years, he's also gonna try and beef up his bloggin game on here too. So lets see what news and non sense comes out of the OC...
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Here's some random Vimeo vids from Dylan, take the time to appreciate the slow-mo step up session. It's a huckfest about givin no shits.

While cruising the wonderful world of Youtube during this sweet Christmas day, I stumbled across this dizzy beauty. I'd be stoked to witness someone do this without some booters on and some how not manage to become an Anty Annie's pretzel! Go get your bike, shovel away some snow and 720 a 8 stair for the hell of it!
