My Pop


I can't imagine what my Pop was thinking when he left the house that day. So damn cool.

Big Guy, Little Bike..


This is my friend Ryan's bike, the dude is so indecisive. He spent a year building the bike before this one only to tear it apart to build this one, only to tear it apart because it was to fucked to ride it over 50 mph.

I was in Dubai with Ryan, Figgy, and David, when just outside of customs I heard someone calling out my name,
so I turn around and Bam! It was Bam, with his wife Melissa, they had just arrived for their honeymoon.

Fast foward 29 years later I went to Milwaukee while filming for "Our Life" and everyday we drove past the old Pabst brewing factory, so on the last day we made a pit stop.
