OUR BROTHER: Pat Bridges, we love you.

Sure, we can go on and on about how Pat’s wearing one of our DDC “Death Black” Action Caps, and sure, we can offer up a link of how to get one for yer very self, but, this time around, I just have to say that I am proud to see Pat in that little clip talking about the sport he loves so much. He’s an influential voice in the shred world, and it does my heart good to see him getting some air time. Bravo, Pat. Now, go buy a hat and be awesome like him.

FROM THE EVER-AWESOME ROADSIDE PICTURES: The glorious Humboldt Hotel, 1960’s, from downtown Winnemucca. Man, if that just isn’t a great-lookin’ place to go in and completely lose yer ass inside. The old days. Sadness. Heartbreak. Black coffee. Lost earnings. Stale beer. Nevada.
