"patience is a virtue"
No need to hand the work off, when you can do it yourself

As the world keeps on turning
you must keep learning
Feeling the fire under your feet
knowing all that is out there for you to meet
Motivation is power
when you master it you will tower
Television and video games will leave you mindless
while the natural world around you will always remain timeless
Mother nature has provided everything you need
it is already inside of everyone, but it is up to them to take its lead!

"I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant." | |
“Religion is fundamentally opposed to everything I hold in veneration - courage, clear thinking, honesty, fairness, and above all, love of the truth” “Church: A place in which gentlemen who have never been to Heaven brag about it to people who will never get there” “The one permanent emotion of the inferior man is fear - fear of the unknown, the complex, the inexplicable. What he wants above everything else is safety.” I believe in only one thing: liberty; but I do not believe in liberty enough to want to force it upon anyone.  Henry Louis Mencken |

Rain Maker
Save the planet for another day
Attention shoppers.
Buy with a conscience and save.
Save the planet for another day
Save Alaska!
Let the caribou stay.
Don't care what the governments say
They're all bought
and paid for anyway.
Save the planet for another day
Hey Big Oil!
What do you say?
We were runnin' through the night
Never knowin' if we would see the light
Paranoid schizophrenic visions
Livin in fear of the wrong decisions
We got to wake up
We got to keep goin'
If they follow us
There's no way of knowin'
We got a job to do
We got to save Mother Earth
Be the ocean when it meets the sky
You can make a difference.
If you really try.
Be the magic in the Northern lights
Six Days...
Six nights.
Be the river as it rolls along
It has three-eyed fish.
And it's smellin' strong.
Be the rain you remember fallin'
Be the rain.
Be the rain.
Yeah, rain was fallin' and we're soakin' wet
Hail is beatin' down on our heads
The wind is blowin' through our hair
Faces frozen in the frigid air
We got to get there
Alaska
We got to be there
Before the big machines
We got a job to do
We got to save Mother Earth
Dream the hunter on the western plain
The birds are all gone.
Where did they go?
Dream the fisherman in his boat
He's comin' home empty.
He's barely afloat.
Dream the logger in the great northwest
They're runnin' out of trees.
They got to give it a rest.
(There's no other way to cut it)
Dream the farmer in the old heartland
Corporate greed and chemicals
are killin' the land.
Next mornin' Sun was up at dawn
She looked around and Earth was gone
Dark visions he had last night
He needed peace, he needed light.
He heard the rumble and
He saw the big machines
The green army rose
It was a bad dream
He had a job to do
He had to save Mother Earth
Be the ocean when it meets the sky
Greek freighters are dumping
crap somewhere right now.
Be the magic in the northern lights
(The ice is melting!)
Be the river as it rolls along
Toxic waste dumpin'
from corporate farms.
Be the rain you remember fallin'
Be the rain.
Be the rain.
Save the Planet for another day
Be the rain.
Be the rain.
Be the river as it rolls along
Be the rain.
Be the rain.
Be the rain, be the rain

Life?
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.

Realize the power
This is way rad,-thanks to CJS for the link
This puts into perspective how radical bicycles are.
Lots of people in the world take them for granted.
This last winter I passed through Rivas, on my way
to Ometepe Island.

Every team needs a wildcard
The question mark is in heated negotiations with the "Charlie Sheen" of BMX

Chingachgook: The frontier moves with the sun and pushes the Red Man of these wilderness forests in front of it until one day there will be nowhere left. Then our race will be no more, or be not us. The frontier place is for people like my white son and his woman and their children. And one day there will be no more frontier. And men like you will go too, like the Mohicans. And new people will come, work, struggle. Some will make their life. But once, we were here.
French Life?
Two of the raddest dudes on BMX bikes in France
Marc- for building Banos
Titou- for riding Banos brakeless
Keeping that flow alive at Urkatu trails
If you need some LIFE? in EUROPE

TRAIL RIDER/BUILDER OWNED- keep it in the family

Fame is a fickle food
Upon a shifting plate
Upon a shifting plate
Whose table once a
Guest but not
The second time is set
Whose crumbs the crows inspect
And with ironic caw
Flap past it to the
Farmer’s corn
Men eat of it and die
