I grew up on GlenGowan road, i always knew that i had a big forest near me, but until i was about thirteen i thought it was just for people to walk their dogs in. Living in Lawrence Park, i never knew that i had some of the best jumps in the city a :40 second coast from my house. It was from there that I realized that i wanted to spend my life in the air.

I paid $900 for my first bike, because a friend told me if i didn't buy it he'd beat me. Since i've sunk in close to a grand, and became who i am. I owe most of it to my friend Gianrico, I can't thank you enough.

Two years ago i started mountain biking, with a bike that was too good for me, and friends that were even better. Since then I've progressed to the rider i am today, and met some of my closest friends. It seemed so obvious, a community of bikers, jumps close, nothing else to do during summer, so i started to dirt jump. For the first couple months i was terrible, i was embarrassed to ride around people because i made an ass out of myself. Finally, my friend told me to start coming down to "the circuit" every day, and i'd get better. So I did.

We called it the circuit because there were two burms on each side, and a tangled mess of dirt jumps guarenteed to kill you in the middle. The guys down there knew it well, and one of them, a guy we all called Tommy T, even though his last name was Kakamousais, was one of the originals. From there i met Gianrico, Pat, Avi (ClownV to most), Chris Marks & Mike Pope. We became a unit. Everytime there was a ride, i had the gang on speeddial, and we'd all show up and kill it.


The thing that parents and most friends cannot and never will understand is that it became more than kids on bikes, but a family. We depended on each other, for everything and anything. Biking became a way to chill out and forget everything else thats going on in life.School, Family occasions, Girlfriends, these were all things that stood in the way of more biking. Biking every day wasn't an option, it was a requirement and to think that you would be doing something else was almost stupid. Biking was first priority.

I've kept in contact with the guys and still see them as much as i can, they've become some of my closest friends, even though I haven't biked in a bit. Biking has lead me to meet some of the coolest people i'll ever meet, see some things (both amazing and grotesque) than no other people will see, and has managed to always keep a smile on my face. If you guys see this i'll get back into it soon I PROMISE!

Dull, boring day. Oh, and im sick too.

Time- Pink Floyd


Stresed out- A Tribe Called Quest



Dead End Street- The Kinks

Currenty, my life has been a constant flow of late nights and homework. When presented with this situation, i find myself doing the same thing over and over. Say what you will about my methods, but wrapping a cold towel around myself and drinking warm tea works best for me. The tea contains caffeine, which will keep you up for sure, and honestly, try falling alseep with a cold towel drapped around you.

blue hairs in the tea? ch'yeah, i know.

Visvim Ballistic 20L felt.

Out of all the books ive read, generally I know what I'm going into before I start reading it. Even though I'm a big fan of kanye and support him against most people who like to talk shit, when someone handed me his book at the Glow In The Dark concert last year i was fully expecting 100 pages of "look how fly I am"

However, as soon as I started reading it, i realized it was the deep and insightful side of Kanye that i was getting.

I'm expecting a pretty chills day.

Nixon, Keys, Ipod, Phone, LV Wallet, the things that get me through the day.
