Today (Sunday) the rain played us out on the BMX here in Pittsburgh. So that means Pohlcamp gets two 1st place finishes and a bunch of cash. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I get two 8th place finishes and well, not so much cash but I'm not complaining! Racing in the rain would have been shady. Out to the airport! http://www.db44.com/blog/2008/06/rain-out.html http://www.db44.com/blog/2008/06/rain-out.html Sun, 29 Jun 2008 17:05:31 +0000 Weekend update. Weekend was pretty chill. Drove up to Prunedale and was retarded thinking the 101 would be a chill drive. Ended up taking some 7 hours which I could have cut shorter to about 6. I felt pretty good. I had issues with the gate falling slow but other than that the track was pretty cool.....

It was popular in Vegas and they both had other things going on and not enough time or money to make a real push at having a legit clothing company. Fast forward to 2008 and Jason lives in LA now. He partnered up with his boss from Art Impressions Inc. and now the brand is about to blow up.......]]> http://www.db44.com/blog/2008/06/malus-clothing.html http://www.db44.com/blog/2008/06/malus-clothing.html Mon, 02 Jun 2008 23:06:38 +0000 UCI Worlds update in detail.
