And being the purveyors of the technological forefront that they are, Tonic also included this guide for everything youll ever need to know about bicycle suspension.

We also recieved the sad news of another fallen soldier from ENB;

"This Friday, August 10th, a new ghost bike and plaque will be place at the base of the Williamsburg Bridge close to where Jon was killed.

Friends of Jon, please join us in remembering our fallen friend.

The bike will be dedicated around 10pm.

Afterwards, we will move over to Rockstar bar to toast Jon and try to celebrate Jon's memory in a way that would make him proud.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD. JON HAD MANY FRIENDS IN THIS WORLD.
Bronx Jon, rest in peace."

Those of us unable to be there in person will definitely be there in spirit.

Back in the lords year of 1991, the hills in Oakland California experienced one of the worst residential fires recorded, during which almost 3,000 homes were destroyed. A partial aftermath of this was a bonanza of empty pools, which is where Royce Nelson and I first became aquatinted. He rides a pool with the grace and fluidity that is nearly unmatched and always a pleasure to witness.
The thing that forever struck me was the expression on Royces face. He could have been building a snowman, reading a book, tirelessly attempting to stick one over the deathbox, or staring at his cereal. His face never changes.

Now then, if you dont have your drool cup handy, you best go fetch one cause youre gonna need it.
Also, Im on my way out of town, so heres a picture of the shirt Im wearing for you to remember me by.

Ashley once asked me if anyone ever randomly beats me up for wearing this.. I said 'sorta'.

By chance, is anyone familiar with the East Bay Rats?
Those guys are clowns. These guys are not.

Anyhow, Im gonna be away from this thing for a while so itll be up to El Corpo, Pinto, Stevie, Zoltron, Halston, Bob Roll, and the host of others who occasionally make an apperance here to keep the home fires burning.

Good luck, and Godspeed.
