WORD to Eggfoo, my $'s on Joe taking Popkins the distance too.

Also tonight, I got this man, Georges St. Pierre, TKO'ing Matt Serra in the 2nd round... although if Serra KO's dude again, there's gonna be riots in Montreal...

Check out UFC prez and general cockmunch Dana White sporting the No Mas x Leon Spinks tee at the weigh-ins yesterday:

*** UPDATE ***

- Calzaghe takes a split decision over Hopkins
(why does Adalaide Byrd keep getting to judge fights?)
- St. Pierre TKO's Serra in 2nd round

Joe Calzaghe

VS

B-HOP

It's gonna be real close, but I can't really see Calzaghe losing

Lab Radio Update!
You know we couldn't leave you on this beautiful weekend without a slew of tunes to keep the vibe. Lot's of funk and reggae, with some dance and disco thrown in for good measure.

Left my jacket at home for the first time this year, sure feeeels good!
Seeing how the front page of the daily is all you need for music, lemme grace you with the top gear picks. But first, I gotta give props to my man Egg Foo. Don't know anyone who has the cojones to be dropping mixTAPES in '08!

While Cali soaks in the 90-degree norm, NYC is just blooming out of its Winter shatterfest:

Union Square, in all its why-do-we-sit-on-these-steps, afternoon glory.

The 12th and Avenue A skate spot in all its glory.


Like Wu-Tang. . . "For the kids!"

A certain Lab Celeb, reclaiming the glory at Thompkins.

(HINT: His DJ name doesn't rhyme with "octagon")

And last but not least, some 12th and A second-hand music.


Why not?


Tapes are back.


Seriously.

*Word on the street is that another certain Lab Celeb's got his new mix "TAPE" floating around. (HINT: His DJ name definitely isn't a Chinese restaurant dish)

Thanks Pete. It's truly an honor to come in 3rd Place for the "Lab's All Time Most Viewed Blog Post Category." Really, just to be mentioned in the same sentence as Shady Dude and Minimal Man is a testament to the hard work that I've put in. I graciously accept this award, and want to acknowledge that none of this would be possible without the help of Lindsay's beav, the pervs that read this blog and of course, Blu "Lohan" Jemz. Thank you all!

how much do i really need to be spending on mint deadstock bullseye hubs? (which then led me to here )


ahhhhhh the bmx museum, where people clearly state: "THIS BIKE IS NOT FOR SALE"

'83 PK Ripper

'87 Titan Titanium Mini (one legend in my town named Nani Ferraro had one of these, of course the frame cracked, but he quickly upgraded to an IROC-Z)

'87 GT Performer aka the Gemini Mixer of bmx
if you didn't own one of these at some point, your neighbor definetly did...

'85 Haro Master, probably ridden once in '85 on a white carpet, later polished with a diaper

'83 Skyway TA -in 2nd grade this was out of my price range (as well as the Torker II)


apparently Hutch bmx took a quick tangent in '88 and developed downhill race only bikes that were rumored to approach 100mph -and were not made publicly available. Dude is selling it for $20,000 USD. (about $3000 euros, right?) question is, what kind of outfit do you wear when you ride this around the local schoolyard?

'07 Fit S3 - real crispy...The museum covers 1970-2008 (!)

"started with a Mint green (production) color frame. Then I got the forks, rims, bars, cranks powdercoated by Rob at R&R powdercoating in Riverside. Then I taped off the grid with masking tape. Then I used Montana spray paint over the tape. Then Handpainted the grid more to eliminate all overspray to give it clean edges. Remove tape, clear coat. done. The rims will not last if I had brakes."

random 2008 bonus: (they'rre baaack)

whens the beth & trent reznor collab?

Goggins basically screamed at me to do a WMC comic, so here it is, a reflection in 3 parts...
