Flywheels Magazine Japan, Lance Dawes Photography From Bonneville Salt Flats

Flywheels Magazine out of Japan recently put out another high quality issue and they featured 20 pages of photos from our pal Lance Dawes. We are still on our quest to make it on the salt at Bonneville but not doing so until our Buell is ready to race. Seeing these photos makes us realize that once again another year at Bonneville went by and we never made it out. The hunt is on...

Vans And DQM Present - Pave The Way - 12.1.11

Pave The Way, Photo Showcase by Mofo, C.R. Stecyk III, Lance Dawes & Tobin Yelland

Vans and DQM are proud to present "Pave The Way", a photo exhibition opening December 1, 2011, at The Vans DQM General in New York. "Pave The Way" showcases the legendary work of C.R. Stecyk III, Mofo, Tobin Yelland and Lance Dawes, chronicling their lives and iconic careers shooting some of the most pivotal photographs throughout the history of skateboarding and beyond.

In the late 1970's, co-founder of Zephyr Productions and original founder of the Dogtown movement, C.R. Stecyk III changed the look and feel of skateboarding forever. His articles and photo essays during the 1970's for Skateboarder Magazine and visuals for Powell Peralta during the Bones Brigade era set the standard for the documentation and attitude of skateboarding for years to come.

The true creative force behind the early Thrasher look, feel and voice; Mofo is the truth. From the beginnings of street skating, jump ramps, wallrides and McTwists, Mofo was there capturing the moment, defining and refining it for the rest of us and spewing it onto the pages of the "Bible".

Tobin Yelland became a professional photographer in 1990 after having his first photo published in Thrasher Magazine at the age of fifteen. Yelland's work has expanded beyond the world of skateboarding to form a vast collection of images that gives a voice to an entire generation, transcending many locales and social identities.

Lance Dawes moved to San Francisco from Washington DC in 1990 and worked in the darkroom at Thrasher Magazine before founding Slap Magazine in 1992, where he was editor, art director and chief photographer. Dawes was instrumental in documenting the San Francisco skate scene in the early 90's and has relentlessly continued to shoot skateboarding around the world over the past 20 years.

"Pave the Way" opens December 1, 2011 with an opening reception from 6 - 9 p.m. The show runs through January 4, 2012 at The Vans DQM General, 93 Grand St. New York, New York 10013.

RUSTYMETRIC - Digital Mag Now Available for $0.99

If we were to tell you we just thought this idea up and knew it would be cool, that would only be half true. The idea to start a new magazine has been on the brain for ages. Actually all the way back into the days of Hi-Speed Productions in San Francisco when I was working for Slap Magazine and hired by the one and only Lance Dawes. If ya haven't heard of Slap, it was one of the mags operated by Hi-Speed Productions which also does Thrasher, Juxtapoz and at that time they also had the motorcycle mag Twist-Grip along with underground golf mag Schwing. Twist-Grip and Schwing are of course now defunct along with Slap in print format. The beauty of that learning experience was understanding publishing and the role of magazines relating to consumers and the masses as a whole.

As a consummate reader of a plethora of monthly titles along with a stack of books, I have forever been enamored with the printed word. Now at the onset of the digital publishing revolution Trent, the editor of RUSTYMETRIC and the founder of bikerMetric.com and I are damn proud to be able to shake things up with digital publishing. Our goal is to give the world a fresh perspective on all that we enjoy in music, motorized mayhem and character driven content. Create stories and a vibe that is affordable and current, with a team of editors specialized in niche areas.

We know that once all the dust settles and we get the full sites up and running for the magazine, subscriptions will be available and all issues will be available on e-readers. For all of you kindle, ipad, smartphone and regular ol' website users, we know you will dig it. As for now, go over and see just what $0.99 can still buy. And for all you bands that want your music heard, large or small, consider us for your new outlet to be heard. The sky is the limit with digital publishing and a worldwide audience is waiting to hear you.

New Falcon Black Vincent Motorcycle Photos and...Rusty Metric

Read below the write up from the Editor of a new project called "Rusty Metric". We think yall will be quite intrigued... Much more comin' at ya in the coming weeks.

"you read it right, mofos. i have an in-depth interview with ian and amaryllis from falcon motorcycles coming at you. i suggest you brush your face and wash your teeth afterward or call a porn producer.

you've read my interviews. they have nothing on this one. you all have questions. i asked them and have the answers. it took six months, motherfuckers. it was trust hard fought for and i'm excited to meet them in september. don't think it's a puff piece, either. that's why it took six months.

now, you might believe i am full of shit. i am 'cause i usually poop in the morning and it's past midnight, but that isn't the point. unless i squeeze just right. here is your proof:

what the hell is RUSTYMETRIC and who the fuck is lance dawes? and how come i haven't seen this picture somewhere else online by now?

lance is a kickass photographer. RUSTYMETRIC is the online magazine my partner rusty knuckles and i will be launching soon to freak you out. and you haven't seen that pic because lance is our man and falcon gave him entrance into their magical realm.

it's exclusive. motherfuckers.

the dns servers for RM will be working tomorrow. not now. now is me telling you my world domination scheme is one step closer to, um... WORLD DOMINATION.

in addition to the incredibly revealing interview with the folks at falcon, there are other columns filled with such things that you cannot imagine and all of it is coming in the first issue of RUSTYMETRIC. the best part is that we're doing it digital, not in print. finger that out and save a tree, your money, and take your laptop to the can more often.

the pix will be in color. that falcon black - jesus forgive my soul and let me live - is coming in color. in person, it is not something you can understand until you are there in the room, looking at it up close, touching the machine and it's infinite custom fabs on it saying "i haven't had that much to drink, come on!"

let me ride it!

now, pretend you are a man. look in the mirror, then look back at bikerMetric, then back in the mirror. bikerMetric is only a facade for an evil world domination scheme and it smells like a man on a motorcycle. diving into a pool. eating cheese from a pitchfork. fucking your woman because you're too busy looking at bikerMetric."
