Sorry, I havent kept up with this at all! I have been super busy..
Lets see, last time I posted was MARCH, it is now OCTOBER.. so uh, 8 months?
A lot has happend over the last year, riding has been real good, I went through a phase where I wasnt feeling riding anymore, ya know that weird.. I dont have an urge to ride and I want to do some other stuff, but that only lasted about two weeks and I came back and I started learning new stuff and doing new things, which is great because I knew when I felt like riding again it would happen. and I am more stoked on riding than I was before that..
Lets see, I got www.freewebs.com/bmxrochester rolling again, that is my website I do for my local scene... 41 videos , tons of news, its real good. go check that out its def. a pretty good thing..
I also started www.bmxunion.com it has taken off pretty well, a lot of people are stoked, I kind of had the idea for the site in my head, then one night I couldnt get it off my mind and just did it, bought the domain and went to work.. I am glad how that is going.. go check it out I think you will like it.
I am also getting involved in other projects, I cant really say what yet. but I am sure you will know as soon as it happens since its involving a very popular website. I will def. make a post when that goes live.
Lets see, School.. I am now in college.. its a different world, I didnt know what to expect when I got into it, but since then I have learned a lot and really learned what I care about and dont really care to know. I will be getting a business administration degree in a few years.. I know I will def. be getting things going for myself once that happens to. I honestly want college to be over so I can have a piece of paper that says what I am capable, ha I am so over the partying thing. It is weird, but that is just what I am feeling. I just want to be able to get deals and stuff going.
I will be throwing a gyro back on my bike here tomorrow I believe since thats when my stuff comes in from www.albes.com ( I support the hell out of those guys thats why I put the link!)..Umm over the summer I went to a few contests.. I got 3rd in intermediate at baco in wisconsin.. I got like 12th or something at a free flow contest, andddd I did a few other smaller ones where I did alright. I am still riding for maxxis and I think I will be next year, but I havent got that back for sure.. which if not it wont be a big deal.. I am also going to try and get on another team, I dont want to say which one but yeah.. I am stoked on the company and I might as well try right?
SOoooooooooooooooo
that would be it for now I think, just check out
- at it once again!
Holy crap dude.
spring is HERE.. riding season has BEGUN.. I am super stoked.. the snow is for the most part gone, give it a few more days and it should be compelely gone, temps in the 40's and 50's and higher from here on out I believe.. I have been doing a lot of riding lately.. you would be proud.. actually you wouldnt because my video camera shit the bed and doesnt want to work.. so I will try and get a new camera and get some stuff together for ya..
lets see.. ooh so yesterday myself and a few others are at the skatepark just hangin out, we were sitting for a bit taking a break in the corner and this skater whose like 25-30 comes up "get out of the way.. why are you guys here you arent even riding.".. we start to laugh and he keeps complaining about how we "dont deserve to be here." "our mommys bought us these nice bikes we cant even ride.".. and a bunch of random crap.. even told my buddy he was going to fight him. then realized it was 4 of us on him.. so he went to "show us up" and fell over and over again completely sucking.. my brakes slip on a 5 tap and he goes.. "wow cool, you suck".. so finally he keeps it up saying how he can ride our bikes better than us and crap.. and I get a weird look at he goes what? I just say, you know I dont think maxxis would be happy if they sponsored a kid who cant ride at all" .. he looks at me funny, I go and start riding, do a 9 tap, manual around the whole park to 180, grind a bunch of stuff.. do a bunch of lines of tricks.. he gets a real good look of embarassment and shuts up and goes accross the park and avoids us.. he leaves shortly after that.... how awesome is that?
lets see.. st.patricks day... oh god so I was at this party once and this girl basically tried to rape me, she kept giving me drinks and tried to get on me a few different times and she was just nasty.. she shows up at this party im at with her friend whose dating my friend.. im like shit this might be bad.. we start playing the game "I have never..." if you dont know what that is, then your s.o.l.. so were going around the table, I start off with "I have never tried to rape a guy.".. then my buddies catch on and follow with "I have never gotten a guy really drunk so I could fool around with him.." "I have never gotten shot down by a guy who was way too drunk I wanted to rape."... needless to say she had 3 fingers down and was shortly the one to be drinking.. it was great.
otherwise, basically school is 2 months left and then its summer, going be intense!!
and work is getting better, a new manager, more sales to add to my commission due to warmer weather and actually being able to talk about bike stuff!
thats all, Now I have to go to work
- March Madness?
Well kids.. heres the deal! its March 10th.. 30 degrees at 9:14 a.m.. and on the rise..
the snow is going out like a 90% off sale at abercrombie I am stoked. however, it will still be a while before grass starts showing.. We had 2 feet of snow likeeeeee last week and then the week before that.. it was pretty hectic I didnt have school for 2 days.. so I got a 4 day weekend.
then this weekend my schools hockey team made it to state, im sure if your from anywhere but minnesota you dont understand how serious we take hockey.. hockey is like the football of texas.. yeahhh.. but I didnt have school thursday or friday because I went up to the game.. Friday was bomb because we went to the mall of america up in the cities.. it was great imagine this.. 7 hot chicks to ever ugly girl.. and like 8 girls to 1 guy, or me hahha it was great.. plus I got some new etnies and a tight hat....
then after the game we went to hooters.. gotta love that place.. the bathroom is like your going to catch a staff infection or get raped.. then greesy foods and huge boobs everywhere? whats better than that? OHH a cop from my city happend to be there and he was all drunk.. saw our school sweat shirts and stuff and came over and chatted with us.. he as way cool plus i remember him letting me go on a ticket for riding downtown once haha...
but im stoked on this picture I wasnt even suppossed to be on.. i did a little photoshop though..

how rad is that? haha.. hell yeah..
so I think because the streets are dry im going to cruise around once it gets up to the 40's like its suppossed to today.. exciting.. thats about it.. oh and I found out my video camera wanted to start working again so thats good.. expect a video once it gets real dry.
HOLLA
- winter best be over real soon..
SO! Minnesota waited to dump on us..
last weekend, we got 15 inches of snow.. fricken sweet.
now, were expected to get another foot from tonight until friday.. so I think I wont have school thursday or friday! So that would explain for why I havent rode.. which sucks balls.. but I have a real good feeling htat the warm air will be flyin in the next two weeks and I will start being able to ride outside.. which will be amazing I cant wait!..
thats all I got.. plus I gotta pee
- time flys when your having fun
SO! heres the dealio, time is flying.. I am stoked! I rode bike last thursday, and another thursday has come and monday I dont have school so I am going to mankato to ride and get some pictures taken since I have no recent ones and I need some for my independant study photography class..
but my main point is its been 10 days already since I last posted up a blog, it feels like just yesterday..
TIME IS FLYINGGGGGGGG SERIOUSLY! im going nuts waiting for warm weather so I can ride like every night or day or whatever I am doing.. I dont know, life is going to be rad once again! haha ..
I have been spending a lot of time with a lot of different ladies since I have a lot of time, and I am not going to lie guys, girls are the most difficult things in the world to work with.. I am not going to lie
but next monday should be a lot of fun to go ride bike and take pictures and stuff.. however its 9 a.m and I only got about 6 hours of sleep last night so I am pretty tired and dont really have much else to say.. I will try and post up the pics I get on monday! =)
- slackin on these blogs!
Alright .. if you read these 10 awesome points.. haha
SO! what has Kurt been up to.. well, let me tell you.. due to weather being in the negative tempetures lately so much there is NO outside riding of course.. however, I have also been uber busy with a lot of other stuff.. so I havent rode in about 2..3 weeks!?!!?! oh my god.. what is wrong with me? its so pathedic.. I cant wait till spring you dont even know how much riding I will be doing..
so school.. my second semester of my senior year of high school is under way.. fricken SOOOOOOOOO easy.. simple math class, awesome enviromental awareness class where basically we go outside all the time and do fun things....then a gym class and im a teachers aid.. so no homework.. ever? hahah woo! oh and my independant study photography class.. how awesome is that? once its nicer weather I will actually be motivated to get out and take some pictures..
lets see.. work.. so life at the bike shop is not so good.. I hardley work which is fine because its UBER boring when I do work.. then my favorite guy to work with is leaving to go work at the warehouse (the shop I work at has like 13 stores so they are baller).. and then my other manager is trying super hard to find a new job.. leaving me in quite a predicament.. I would have seniority in the shop, so really even with new managers I wouldnt have to listen to them because I have been there longer? but I dont wanna work there if that happens because its just wouldnt be the same thats for sure.. plus its getting really corporate and just not so fun.. so a new job search might be on the prowl soon.. ooh i just remembered i gotta apply at best buy! duh?.. okay so..
tomorrow I am leaving school early to go with 2 of my buddies up to ride a indoor park in mankato.. SO stoked.. I cannot wait.. my bike has been crying to get rode .. I hear it! haha.. then lets see.. oh I come back for some awesome fun.
in my enviromental awareness class we built quin-zhee's... which are basically igloo's just piles of snow instead of blocks and we got a 7 person one.. its HUGE.. so both the classes like .. 65 people? are going to be camping out in our "quin-zhee village" tomorrow night for our assignment. its going to be awesome.. even though its -8 right now at 8:30 at night... and colder tomorrow.. but I guess they are super warm and stuff.. so it will be a good time
hmm.. thats about it.. I am counting the days for HEAT only like a month and a half left till april and springgggg thank GOD!
