if they can start making the PK Ripper again then we can bring these back
in 1989 computer technology was pretty weak. for the average person it was just yellow letters on a black screen and the idea of simply scanning in a picture then cut, copy, paste, crop, click, drag and print was a dream. i had a Xerox copier, a Sharpie, a copy of the Weekly World News and a silly idea. we went on to sell thousands of these t-shirts. 'til this day i still have people talking about them and asking if they will ever be re-printed...the answer is now, "yes". a little different from the original in that the graphic is on the front (the original was on the back) and the new ones are printed on American Apparel shirts. here's your chance to re-live your past, talk to old school kooks about the '88 Haro Master they bought from us or just have old people give you funny looks.
todd...
Oh man!! This is beyond awesome!!!
I remember reading BMX Plus back in the early 90s and thinking, "What the hell is going on here with these guys at Albe's?"
This shirt brings back oh so many good memories.

team tasty will be in full effect, just send Rick the money for the t-shirt in advance. funny thing is that a lot of stuff he sent out seemed to get lost in the mail...hhmmmmm.

here's some news:
Support Local
Not only did Footlocker buy CCS mail order, but check out their most recent agenda published in the new Transworld Business mag.

Please forward and post this everywhere you can. If we don't mobilize soon, our industry is going to be hi-jacked by the sporting goods companies and their chains of distribution. Core skateshops will be a thing of the past.
Support your local skateshops, and encourage them NOT to legitimize the sporting goods companies.

dear Rumble,
to quote one of our competitors, "chill, bro". when news doesn't happen or nothing new has shown up we're not going to simply throw out some crap, fake happenings or try to make something comletely dull sound like it's not, like some other BMX sites, just to have a daily update. Flip left for the Orlando Dew Tour stop yesterday, most of our team will be there (and probably do pretty well as usual), Todd ordered some Graphite Tuff wheels for a retro bike he's working on, John's helping Ray's MTB park get ready for another awesome season, we all drink more than we should...and we're all really busy. that's what's been going on around here and it's not worth starting a whole new post over. or is that the sort of mundane day to day drudgery that all of you want? let us know if it is and we'll try to squeeze out some more dull little nuggets for you.
