i have seriously been trying to find the time to put up this update, and thanks to better living through chemistry (lots of caffeine), tonight is the night.  this might not seem like a big deal to the average reader, but we do not add riders to our team very often.  we are proud to add the two Toms to the Empire stunter crew!  Tom Smith and Tom Dugan, welcome to the family.  if you have any plans to watch our next video, get ready for hammers from these two.  how many hammers?  lots of hammers.  along with the rest of the team, these two have both been working very hard with Dave Parrick on this project.  check out the latest trailer for the video on our Vimeo page

Tom Smith has been down with Empire for a long time;  he even has an Eazy E tattoo on his body, reppin Eternal.  it has been a pleasure watching him progress as a rider, and grow as a person.  we are honored to have him on board and look forward to seeing the wild shit he has thrown down for the video.  like the true nutcase that he is, Dave has been vague about the details of what Tom has been up to, so we go into the video as fresh as the rest of you. without seeing anything, i can still guarantee one thing:  prepare yourselves for true street knowledge.  Tom gets it done for Liquor Bikes and The Shadow Conspiracy.  hmmm, i do not see a shoe sponsor there.  if anyone reading this reps for one and wants in on the goods, get at me.  props to James Stevens @ Liquor for the pic

ahhhh, Mr Dugan.  we only met this wildman in the last few years, but he has proven to be an interesting dude, and we dig him.  plus, anyone that comes highly recommended by Joe Rich automatically gets the seal of approval from us.  easy as, as they say.  yeah yeah, you have heard all about the water thing, Dr Pepper, etc.  the only liquid we require that he bathe in is the sweat that comes from filming with Diamond Dave, and Dugan has been taking care of business on that front, 100%.  Tom gets support from Terrible One, Odyssey, and Etnies.  holler at Cody Nutter for the sequence

the rest of the team is spread out around the globe, and we are trying to cram in some last minute filming before Tina kills Parrick in his sleep (or Taj does it LOL).  Sean Sexton flew to Austin for a week to do work, but the ridiculous heat took its toll.  thanks for giving it a shot buddy, nothing but love for ya!  we received an email from Sergio today, and he is mailing us some clips from his wild travels.  we definitely need to thank Walter Pieringer, who has been a huge help to us, taking time out The Busiest Schedule in BMX to log many hours and miles with the team.  Walter is the man, we sincerely appreciate his help!  as i write this, he is in South Korea witnessing Aaron Ross and Dugan adjust to a completely new culture, and attack/conquer its spots.  oh, how i wish i was a fly on the wall in that van!  Dave has dates with KP in Chicago and Austin, Morgan on his home turf, and Bob Scerbo at some secret East Coast spots.  sorry this video is taking so long, but we promise it will be worth the wait

now that the crazy Summer season is just about over, expect more frequent updates from us very soon.  at least until the pre-Christmas shoppers start to rock and roll, pop pop!  thanks for the support
