Practice makes perfect!

So T finally has learned how to bunny hop! Last night the concept finally sank in and next thing you know she was hopping over this paint stripe. I'm so psyched for her! Now we have to get her airing out of ramps! In due time...



T took this rad photo of me jumping over an invisible object ;)

Good Old Newi!

Arnwine and I met Jake Lineberry and Schmidty at the Newington Skatepark today. It was a bit hot out, but we all had a good time...well maybe not Jake. After corking out a huge flair and various oter insane tricks cleanly, Jake crashed going up the big quarter pipe and went face first into the cement. We all thought for sure the kid was out cold, but after a few seconds of silence Jake got up...and called it quits for the day. Seeing he wasn't wearing a helmet, walking away with some cuts, a "swellbow", and a nice shiner wasn't bad at all. Head over to TYRANT's Flickr to check out the photos I shot.

Huge flair off a 7 foot cement quarter and no helmet.
That boy ain't right!

Kink @ Haven

Some of the Kink team showed up to Haven Skatepark last night to ride the BMX session. Arnwine and I headed down to ride and check out the madness. Lots of people going off...what else is new. Bry looked comfy on his new bike and I was so psyched on my new ride. So long, so tall, super comfortable. It's nice to feel at home on my bike again! It was great to see Don Pavelka, Ben Church, Matty Branscombe, and a bunch of other BMX friends I don't get to see on a regular basis. Good times for sure! Aftwer leaving Haven at midnight, Bry and I drove all the way up to Hartford and rode street till almost 2 AM. Gotta love late nights on the bike! Head over to TYRANT's Flickr to check out a bunch of photos!

Middletown in May

Lolli and I headed out to ride around M-Town tonight and let me tell you, it was like a ghost town. Eerily quiet, no crackheads at Spear Park, and no hassle from the cops. Matt was tearing it up on his fixed gear and I was getting used to my new BMX set up. Gotta' love 65 degree night time street sessions. The warm season is here! There are a handful of photos over at TYRANT's Flickr. Go check 'em out!

Lolli with a fixed tire grab

New ride, old one up for grabs!

So I built up my new ride last night, a 21" S & M LTF courtesy of Greg from Ramp Farm and Mike at Fat Trax...thanks guys. I set up the new ride very tall and long, cause I'm lanky and I was way too cooped up on my Deployer for the last year. Can't wait to ride this weekend!!!



With that said, I really need to get rid of my FBM Deployer ASAP.
Here is the low down:



FBM DEPLOYER - 20.75"
- Limited Edition Silverback color (Only 18 made!!!)
- Great condition! Must see!
- Inverted brake mounts
- Includes FREE integrated headset (and a TYRANT T-shirt)

$175.00

Hit me up via rideTYRANT.com if you are interested!

Winthrop SK8 Park

I was in Winthrop, Mass. for the Memorial Day weekend with T and we rode the new skatepark in town. It's and ARC Park (slick metal ramps), but if had some fun lines. Any weekend with sunny days, warm temps, and riding involved is great!

Craig Samuels Gets Fixed!

So Craig has been killing it on his fixed gear out in San Fran. Check out the full cab toward the end of the video. Representing TYRANT on the West Side! Check out the video HERE!

T & T Trails: A Work in Progress

So T and I worked at the house for 7 hours today on everyday yardwork and of course, the trails! Not only are we going to have 3 lines of BMX jumps, we cleared and raked a 1/2 mile of clean singletrack/cyclocross trail today...AMAZING...all on our land! By the end of the Summer our yard is going to be amazing!

Gotta' love the Wang Tree!


Short video to come in the next day or so. Check back soon!

New Rides!

So a few of us stepping it up and building up new rides. Bryan Arnwine just got his hands on a raw 20.6" Fly Campillo frame thanks to Vic at Circuit BMX. Bryan just bought the raw Fly Tierra forks last week so this bike is going to look super hot and be really light! I'll have some photos posted early next week. I'm looking at a 21.25" raw We The People Lo-Fi. Before I can grab the new frame I have to be sure that I have an even trade/ or buyer for my LE Silverback 20.75" FBM Deployer. Hit me up via rideTYRANT.com if you are interested in my frame package below.

$175.00
(Frame, Shadow Seat Post Clamp, Sealed Magnesium Odyssey Cielinski Pedals, and a 29T Titanium Profile Imperial Sprocket)

Local Exposure Tour

Head over to The Banquet Action Sports Digital Network and check out the videos from the Local Exposure Tour at Haven Skatepark, Skater Edge, and Burgers Warehouse. Don Pavelka and Jake Lineberry were both repping TYRANT and both have clips in the videos. Checka, check it out!

Dig it!

So I finally got outside to play today after being sick as a dog with a fever and harsh cold for almost a week. I woke today feeling pretty good, although I was still super stuffy. After 2 hours or yard work at T's place I dug for an hour and got the 1st jump of the trails piled up. I'm going to try and drive back to the house tomorrow morning and rake, pack, and sculpt the lip, as well as remove that stump that's right in the way of the jump. I'm psyched! despite the fact there is tons more work to be done before anything will be ridable. All in due time!

T & T Trails

So after much anticipation, I've started working on the new trails. These aren't going to be the next Posh or Nam (if you don't know what those are do some damn research!), but they'll be fun. I'm planning out a small 10 pack, a large 6 pack, a rollers section, a dirt bank to wallride (like at Baker's Acres) and a few rad berms thrown in. The jump lines and rollers are all on a gradual downhill, so expect little to no pedaling! This is going to take a lot of time and effort, but I am cheating a little by having my cousin bring in his Kabota tractor to get dirt mounds piled up and packed so I can start sculpting out the transitions. Before any building occurs I have a lot of brush to clear and a few trees to take down. I'm determined to have everything 100% complete and dialed by late Fall. No worries about getting this place plowed or outsiders ruining stuff, the trails are on T's land and its private property. SICK!

Big 6 pack coming soon

FIT at Haven: Part 2

WOW! Last night was ridiculous! Everybody was going big, especially Mike Aitken and Brian Foster. It was a very late night/early morning...I didn't get home till 2 am, but it was totally worth it. Check out the photos over at FIT @ Haven.

FIT in Town

If you are around tonight head down to The Haven Skatepark and check out some of the FIT Bike Co. team. The guys are on an East Coast Tour and they're stopping by the park tonight to shred the 6-10pm BMX session. Should be a good old time!

Mike Aitken is going to kill Haven!

Doing it for the Cause!

T recently accepted the challenge of cycling in the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure fund-raising event. The Tour is a series of cycling events held in 80 cities nationwide. The Tour is a ride, not a race; it features different route lengths and I have chosen to ride the 100k (62 mile) ride. I have joined thousands of others to pedal in support of the association's mission: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. I will be cycling with Team Pedal Power.

If you would like to help me and help cure diabetes please click here.

It's a damn good cause! Take some of the money you were going to spend on some bike parts, video games, new music, beer, etc. and make a small donation today!

Thank you everyone for your support!

Grand Theft Velo II

Grab your bike and get down to New Haven Saturday night for the most kick a$$ race of the year! TYRANT is one of the race sponsors as well as Death to Dopers, one of our other ventures. I'll be up in Boston this weekend for the Local Exposure Tour and some Red Sox games, so I need somebody to head down and rep TYRANT at the race. Word is that one of the prizes is a FREE knuckle tattoo from Eric Merrill, of of the nastiest tattoo artists in the country...and a fierce road cyclist! I dare somebody to win that prize and get "TYR" and "ANT" tattooed on their knucles! TYRANT!

Props to Drew for getting this whole thing organized and giving me the opportunity to be a race sponsor.

Curved Wallride Anyone?

So Arnwine, Schmidt, Lolli, and I met up at Haven tonight to ride and the session basically turned into a curved wallride extravaganza. Half of the riders at the park were lined up to take runs at the new 180 degree curved wallride. I took a bunch of photos which can be viewed by clicking here.

Man Down!

I'd like to send a sincere get well out to Peter Krol who is laid up in a New York City Hospital with a serious head injury. Pete was warming up for the Hustle & Flow contest Saturday with Team Ghostship at the High Bridge Trails in Manhatten when he went head first into the lander of a dirt jump knocking himself out cold. From what I was told Pete's helmet was cracked in 2 spots, his glasses were broken into 3 pieces, he is covered in road rash style scrapes, and suffered a serious concussion. EMT's took Pete by ambulance to the hospital where he underwent a CAT scan and MRI which revealed his brain was bleeding and swollen. This is a no joke matter and I totally feel for Pete cause my crash back in 2005 was just about identical...except Pete's lucky to have his teeth! It's always tough to hear about another rider getting severely hurt and even tougher in this case cause Pete is the funniest, nicest kid around. Get well P. Krol!

Local Exposure Tour @ Haven

WOW! Today was of f the hook! The Local Exposure Tour stopped at Haven Skatepark and people were going off! There were riders from all over the East Coast in town for the event and everybody brought a huge bag of tricks with them.

Check out the photos by CLICKING HERE.

"Oh Damn"....No "Oh Damn"

Sorry all, the 2nd Annual "Oh Damn" Jam WILL NOT be going on May 11th. Stay tuned for the the reschedule date. Don't worry, it will be worth the wait...I promise!

Begin's Ramp

T and I headed over to "Tiny TYRANT's" to ride his backyard ramp today. Rumor had it Brandon and his dad made some progress on the ramp last weekend so I wanted to go check it out. Sure enough, the ramp is coming along nice...now all we need is warm weather and sun! As always it was a fun time over the Begin's. Thanks for having us...and thanks for the post-riding munchies! Brandon was killing the ramp, check out the photos: Click Here!

"Tiny TYRANT" with a not so tiny air!

Clinton Closed!

So apparently the Clinton Skatepark is CLOSED thanks to a bunch of local a$$hole kids that ripped down portions of the fence surrounding the park. I don't get it, the park is amazing, has stadium lights, ans Spring is here...but kids feel the need to trash the place for fun? Why would you risk having the park shut down? Can you say IDIOTS! Read the full article the Middletown Press published HERE.

Haven Rental

So a bunch of the staffers from Pedal Power rented out the Haven Skatepark last night. It was a pretty mellow session with only 8 people there! Todd Hettrich shot a bunch of photos which he shared with me. Head over to TYRANT's Flickr to check 'em out!

Matt Lolli carving the slant wall

Splat!

So tonight I crashed really hard on the road bike! My right knee is raw meat, I bent my bars an inch, my back wheel is tweaked, and my ego is bruised! Luckily it was my Lemond, not the new Duratank. I biffed it off a curb going about 30 mph and went straight over the bars to my right knee/side/head, NO FUN! Some lady parked near by bolted out of her car and the first words out of her mouth were, "I can't believe you are conscious!" Then she asked if I needed medical attention. I guess I took it hard? A quick phone call to Tina to come save my haggerd a$$ was all I needed. Anyway, crashes are a drag! I hate being sore...I hate a busted bike...but I guess that's why we all do it! To heal up, fix our bikes, and keep on riding..cause we love it! Crash and burn!

Almost Spring!

Tina and I met up with Ben Church and "Tiny Tyrant" at the Newington Park today. It was our first outdoor park session of 2008 and our first time at Newington in almost 6 months! Everyone had a good time and the rain held off...for the most part. Spring is almost here!!! Head on over to TYRANT's Flickr to check 'em out.

Brandon Begin's lawnmower is ready for Spring!

Weekend Getaway

So T and I headed up to the Providence area for the weekend to get away from CT for a change. Saturday we stopped in Circuit BMX to say hello to Vic and check out his amazing selection on rad stuff. Be sure to get up to Circuit next weekend for the moving sale! This morning we rode Skaters Edge in Taunton, Mass. We met up with Ben Church, a Bristol, CT rider, who came up from Roger Williams where he goes to shool. It was nice to ride Edge, I haven't been there in years! Don't get me wrong, I love the Haven Skatepark, but we ride it so much its cool to check out a new place. Skaters Edge is a funky park, the trannies are so mellow!!! I felt like I didn't know how to ride ramp...Oh well, we had fun none the less. Check out some photos of some local shredders I shot at TYRANT's Flickr. My flash was dying due to lousy batteries so nothing really came out too great. Maybe next time?

Ben Church slant wallride to bar spin

Haven...holla'

WOW! Lots of shredders at the Haven Skatepark today. It blows my mind how many kids are just killing it these days! I on the other hand am not! I fell twice...HARD! I jammed my thumb really bad and smashed my left knee...resulting in me hanging up the bike and taking out the camera. Check out the few photos I shot over at TYRANT's Flickr.

Bike vs. Car

So Craig Samuels was nearly killed by a car a couple days ago out in San Fran. This is what Craig had to say after I sent him a message that said "riding your fixed gear without a helmet?":

"Correct, fixed and no helmet, my hat is ok though, haha. Here is a crude writeup on what happened: Got hit on The Wiggle (SF bike route). Guy turned in front of me, I hit his front driver side, my bike stayed there and I flew over his hood and onto the sidewalk. Luckily my face/head broke my fall. It made the most grossest crunching noise. I didn't get light headed or pass out or anything so I don't think I have a concussion. We settled it there, I got his business card and enough money for a new front wheel. He was super cool about it and very concerned. I decided to take a cab home instead of to the hospital cause I didn't want the expense. My friend Chris and I cleaned it up and as of now it looks ok."

Burly! Glad to hear Craig is alive and well! There is a TYRANT care package in the mail dude! and yeah, be sure to wear your damn helmet!

Real men wear Barbie bandaids!

Pedal Power @ Haven

Last night the Pedal Power staff, along with some friends and family, rented out the Haven Skatepark for a late night session. Everyone had a good time and of course there are a bunch of photos over at TYRANT's Photos.

Back in the Day!

So I was stranded at home today due to the snow and I decided to mill around through some old photos I had. Head over to TYRANT's Photos for a couple "blast from the past" photos of Arnwine and Brandon Begin I scrounged up. Nothing like the good old days! Wow do I miss the old MSC in Westfield, MA....so many memories of good times and good friends there!

NEW Stickers and Pints

So the new chrome mirrored Trike stickers are in and ready for the taking. Thanks to T, I also have these rad pint glasses available for $5. The glasses are branded with a cool new logo that T also designed (see the image at the top of the page).



Pint Glasses - $5.00

Dondor Jam 2008

Thanks to everyone who came out to Don's birthday jam last night, it was a good old time. There was brief scare when Tiny TYRANT went down face first and busted up his head and mouth, but he was able to walk out of the park on his own 2 feet. I shot a ton of photos, head over to rideTYRANT.com to check them out.

UPDATE: "Tiny TYRANT" Brandon Begin is ok. He knocked off 3 of his braces, has some haggerd cuts in his mouth and has a few loose teeth (which his braces will hold tight till they heal). He'll be riding in no time! He's a trooper!!!

Don getting it inverted!

Bryan Arnwine getting rad at 1 am!

Toboggan Race Report

So the TYRANT TOBOGGAN TEAM placed 77th out of about 150 sleds at the Toboggan National Championships in Camden, Maine this past weekend. A bit disappointing, but we had fun. This was our 3rd year participating and sadly our slowest :( Next year we're getting together an all-star squad, building a new sled, and we're renting a vendor parking spot on the mountain to set up a TYRANT tent. Gotta' love the white trash winter olympics...that have nothing to do with bicycles!

NEW on 2/12: NICE! We made the newspaper in Maine, check it out HERE. Ryan registered our team so he gets all the glory :)



Thanks to Tina McCurdy for the photo, Shawn Hebrank for the skull drawing, and Matt Lolli for the tyrant text.

Toboggan Time!

This year will be the 3rd year the "TYRANT Toboggan Team" heads to Camden, ME for the National Toboggan Championships. We're headed up to stay with my best friend Gates and his wife for a 3 day weekend of absolute madness! Check back here next week for some hilarious photos of what some dub the "White Trash Winter Olympics".

SHIRTS ARE DONE!

So the new shirts are done!
- Available in Mens S, M, L, XL and Ladies S, M, L
- Colors: Black shirt with snotty green ink or navy blue shirt with slate blue ink
- Mens long sleeve and 3/4 sleeve shirts coming soon!
- Ladies tank tops coming soon!

Top 1 hundo again!

For the 4th year in a row Pedal Power was voted one of the Top 100 Bicycle Shops in the country. This is the 3rd year in a row that we were the only Connecticut shop on the list. What, what!

More love for TYRANT!

I caught word from Hebrank that Pixie from L.A. Ink would be stopping by Identity Tattoo this week. I sent a bunch of shirts out to the guys at the shop back in the Fall and apparently Todd sent one of my ladies tops to Pixie, who is an old friend of his. Anyway, long story short the guys at Identity sent a few photos my way of Pixie repping TYRANT. Very cool of them to shoot some photos and even cooler that she took the time to pose for them. Nice to see our little East Coast outfit getting a little love from a West Coast gal. Thanks guys, thanks Pixie! Much appreciated!

Hebrank also put up a post on this topic, go check it out HERE.

BOO BOO!

So T crashed pretty hard jumping the spine at the Haven Park last Thursday. After 3 days of being in agony she bit the bullet and went to the doctor for some x-rays. The results are due in today, there's a possibility T may have fractured her pelvis or coccyx (tailbone)....OUCH! Let's hope all is well and she's back on the bike soon!

New Shirt!

In honor of our new web address Shawn Hebrank created this bad a$$ new shirt. I'll be screening this week and shirts should be available on the TYRANT MySpace page February 1st. Look for me at the Haven Skatepark next week, I'll have the shirts with me for sale, only $10!

*Note: Shirts will not be available in white as shown

DONDOR JAM 08

Haven was dead last night!

Arnwine and I headed down to Haven to ride the Tuesday night BMX session and it was dead, 9 riders! We had the whole park to ourselves and lots of rad stuff was going down. Tom Burke was going off, check out the photos at TYRANT's Photos.

"Burke Did It First" - Huge Fuf 5 mins after Rick built the rail!

Did you know...

Late Night @ Haven

Last night T and I went to the Haevn Skatepark and it was pretty nuts! Some of the guys from Staff BMX and The Hell on Wheels BMX Stunt Show came up from New Jersey and were killing the park. This one maniac was 360ing the box higher than anybody ever has...the kid was a good 12-15 feet in the air and he also flaired the big quarter at least 7 feet out! It was burly! Like usualy I was there with camrea in hand. Check out last night's photos at TYRANT's Photos

...and don't forget to spread the word, new site in the works: RIDETYRANT.com.

Drop Out's Tom Burke tailwhipping the door gap

Midwest Identity!

The guys out at Identity Tattoo are holding it down in the Midwest. TYRANT's spreading across the country like a virus thanks to Shawn. Hey kiddies...save your money, buy a plane ticket, and go get tattooed by the guys at Identity....tell them TYRANT sent you!

Thanks guys! Kick A$$!

Todd showing some TYRANT love

RIP TYRANTBMX.net!

TYRANTBMX.net is no longer!

RIDETYRANT.com is coming soon!

Our 5 year hosting contract is over and we're switching up the site. I've had tons of hits over the years and appreciate everyone checking out the site.

London calling!

So T was overseas on business again and decided to spread some more TYRANT love, this time in London. I checked my site manager today and have had 6 hits from the UK in the past week. Pretty random, pretty cool!

Crazy Haven Session!

Last night's session at the Haven Skatepark was totally nuts! I witnessed some bodies getting hucked across huge gaps and people risking serious injury to pull some burly stuff. Check out the few photos I shot over at TYRANT's Photos.

Keon...the 1st of 3 guys to pull this "bomb drop"

RIP Spear Park 2008

So the rumors are true, the City of Middletown is moving forward with tearing down Spear Park this Spring/Summer. Spear Park has become a legendary Central Connecticut riding/skating spot over the past 10 years having been sessioned by several pros and featured in a few videos. Sadly, the cities crack heads, drug dealers, drunks, and bums also like to call Spear Park home because its park benches and tables are hidden behind brick walls and trees out of sight from the law. I couldn't tell you the amount of times we've rolled up to ride Spear at night and found some wack job passed out in the bushes! I realize years of kids waxing and grinding the ledges has done damage to the park, but I assure you that is not the reason the park is being torn down! It's the shady shiat that goes on there in the wee hours of the morning! For the time being, the town has done some major pruning to make the park easier to see into from all sides when cop cruisers pass by. To our benefit, the removal of several low branches has opened up a few ledges that were overgrown. I'm making an effort to find out when "D-Day" is going to be, but you can be sure there are going to be a few heavy sessions at Spear before that place gets demolished.

Haven Holiday Bash

So the Pedal Power Crew rented out the Haven Skatepark for a Holiday Session. Some friends and family came along to shred and fun was had by all. Check out the few photos I shot over at TYRANT's Photos.

Peter Krol Pedal Stall to 270 out

T's New Toy

So T got one of her Christmas presents a week early, a new BMX bike. She was riding an Intergral Slauson that Bill at Pedal Power gave me a smoking deal on about a year ago. The Integral was cool, but it had an American BB, regular headset, and weighed 34 lbs. That's a tank of a bike for a 125 lb. girl to handle! T's new ride is a coffee colored 20.75" Eastern Dragon complete with an Odyssey Pro Dirt Fork, MacNeil Light Bars, Primo Powerbite Cranks, Integral Cassette Wheel, and lots of green accents. Green Shadow Grips and BB, Animal Seatpost Clamp, and a sick custom built front wheel...an anodized green old school Velocity rim laced to a GT Mohawk Hub. Any other rider would destroy this front wheel, but T is light so it will hold up no problem. Rumor is there may be a ladies only session at the Haven Skatepark in the near future. Get your girlfriends riding!!!

Haven....

Wow, what a rad weekend! T and I rode Haven Saturday night and Sunday and we're both beat! Head over to the TYRANT Photos to check out all the pics I shot. T actually took a few photos of me too...yes, I still ride bmx.

Craig Samuels Report

So Craig Samuels, long time TYRANT supporter and CT local, has been out in San Fran. at film school since the end of the Summer. Craig shoots me a trusty MySpace message now and again to let me know he's alive, but the message I got last night was rad as hell!! Check out this quick short produced by Craig...and check out the last 15 seconds of the video. Craigs getting ill on his fixed gear! SO SICK!

HAVEN again...

So Arnwine and I met the whole Pedal Power Crew at the Haven Skatepark last night for the BMX session. I think the highlight of the night was Gary Nicol, one of the owner's of Pedal Power. Gary blew off the mountain bike ride he was supposed to attend, took (bought) a DK Dayton from the shop, and came and rode the park in a road bike helmet and Dr. Martins. Great! Everybody was having fun and it was rad to watch some of the locals totally kill the place. Check out the photos I shot over at TYRANT's Flick.

"Sick Boy! Nah, nah - nah - nah, nah"

Ah, what a great old Social D song. Anyway, I've been sick boy since last Sunday. Coughing up a lung, running a fever, and feeling like a pile of crap. Cyclocross season finally got the best of me. Well, my fever broke and I feel a little better today even though my throat is still on fire. Tomorrow is the 1st of 2 races this weekend to end the 2007 New England Cyclocross season and its going to be hellish! The weather's supposed to be in the low 30's with snow showers, so I'll most likely get bronchitis next week, but I'm ending the season on the bike, not sick in bed! So with that said, I'm off to bed. Gotta be up at 5 am and on the road to Rhode Island by 6. 2 more days and the season is over...so I'll be at Haven Skatepark a few times a week from here on out. SICK!

Christmas Crap!

So JUNK*MART claims this is one of the "Hot Bikes this Holiday Season". Are they out of their minds? Who manufactures this crap? Somebody please go to Wal*Mart and buy me one of these for Christmas...so I can ghostride it into on coming traffic and burn it! I pity the pathetic parent that actually purchases one of these death-mobiles for their kid! Be sure to purchase the supplimental insurance policy that goes with it!

Crazy Crash!!!

So there was a crazy crash at the Haven Skatepark Saturday night. I have no idea how either of these guys walked away uninjured!!!

somebody landed on me

Haven Skatepark

So T and I went to the Haven Skatepark late last night for the BMX session. The park is pretty sick! and tons of riders were there. It was awesome to see so many people I haven't seen in ages. I shot a bunch of photos which can be viewed over at TYRANT's Photos. I have to get more comfortable shooting indoors, the lighting throws me for a loop so don't mind some of the blownout photos!

Bryan Arnwine wallride

Thank you Santa!

I got this album recently and it could be the greatest Christmas related thing on the face of the Earth...besides popcorn balls and cherry candy canes!
