Straight From The Burns' Mouth
Wednesday, 21 January 2009 21:46
Burns is in Austin filming for Anthem 2 with Stew Johnson, and he just sent over the following text message: "These cranks are the best thing ever. Just did the biggest drop I've ever done and they are fine." He's talking about the Tibia cranks. And if you need proof that they're gonna hold up, well, you heard it here from Burns.

New Year's Resolutions
Wednesday, 14 January 2009 00:04
I know we're 13 days deep in the new year already, but I finally got answers from the entire team on what their new year resolutions were. Darryl was the late in getting back to me guy, but the dude also produced a full-length Kink video last year and filmed three pretty amazing sections for the Kink vid, the 2x4 vid and Insight, so he can be as lazy as he wants on the e-mail. Anyway, here goes new year resolutions from the team...
Chester: Read one book a month. Learn German. Go to Moscow. Stretch every day. Learn Flairs.
Burns: Ride more trails. Bang hotter broads. Pay off my debt. Make more midget friends. Solidify Metal Bikes. Finish Bone deth video. Finish Anthem 2 part. Start new METAL VIDEO. Travel outside of the US. Quit smoking dirty bads. Healthasize myself. Never had a woman over 50, gonna go for it. Meet voodoo witches, I wanna learn their ways. Let my heals heal up, they are fucked.
Ashley: I'm going to get my drivers license but that's about it. Plan wise, I got a few. I move out of my flat at the start of March and I plan on quitting my job, packing a bag and just moving around the UK for a while maybe with a few US and European visits. I know enough people to floor surf for a while until I find somewhere I wanna spend some time...
Darryl: My resolution for 2009 is to try and be a bit more frugal with my money on trips. I tend to use up what little money I have in the first couple days of trips on shitty food, cigs, magazines and beers. It never works out, by day 5, I'm scrounging or digging the hole deeper on my credit card. Wish me luck, I'll need it....
