Go Fast, Turn Left
It’s not often that the worlds of BMX and professional sports coincide(uhhhh), but 2011 Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne owes an inkling of his success to the family of Standard legend Bobby Fisher. Bayne’s first hometown sponsor was Knoxville’s Fisher Tire, which is owned & runny by Bobby and his family.
*Thanks to Dixie for the trivia. Turns out that Trevor still lives in Knoxville, and last night the two bumped into each other. Stephen told Bayne a tale of an irate fan attempting to hit him with apple cores(yep) after winning the 10th anniversary of “The Final Right”, and he laughed it off, so he’s alright in my book.

New Slayer Song?
Jeff Hanneman has flesh-eating bacteria in his arm, reportedly from a spider bite that has required a hospital stay, and has taken him out of a upcoming Slayer tour. Slightly ironic given the name of the disease necrotizing fasciitis, and Slayer’s favorite subject matter. i hope it doesn’t affect his solos
Get well soon Jeff
DIY Workshop
Chris Zeppieri hails from Boston, rolls with the AOTC crew and builds super functional DSLR handles in his spare time. Unplggd did a quick feature on his apartment that he worked a dialed workshop into. Goes to show that a small space isn’t much of a limitation if you put your mind to it.

Super crazy happy fun juice
I know the energy malt liquor craze has come and gone thanks to the FDA and drunk frat boys, there is a drink however that still exists and puts Joose and 4 loko to shame. I call it the get loose juice. First buy a pint of Royal Gate vodka for $3.00. Then go to your local shady Thai fish market, right behind the bananas and snakehead fish should be the Thai Red Bull. Red Bull was originally a Thai recipie until a white person modified the ingredients and made the drink soft enough so people would buy it. Well the real Thai shit still exists and it gets you joosed. For only 1 dollar you can can get tweeked too mix it with vodka and you have the best 4 dollars you ever spent in your life.
It even has ingredients listed in english on the back but one of them is catheropositol, and that name comes up with zero matches on Google, even spelled different it seems this ingredient doesn’t exist. I have a suspicion it is an ephedra based chemical that was banned from energy drinks in the early 2000s due to the fact you can cook crank out of it, and people who drank to much would have heart attacks….god damn tweekers and pussies ruin it for everyone else
Re up!
