winter needs to leave already. i want to ride my bike in warm weather in a t-shirt.

God is GOOD!
things have been crusin along round here, been working on getting the 09 line of shirts/clothes done. new shirt will be posted next week, just posted the new stickers, they are pretty sweet- i made a very small run but the next stickers i do im going to make a bunch. anyways we over here at the rapture have been trying to tape for the new dvd that is in the works titled PEACE LOVE and BMX BIKES! it has been pretty frigid outside these last days although we did have a couple nice days it really doesnt compare to the bad weather we've been having. once this weather breaks taping will be easier to do, i plan to have the dvd done by early fall. im going to make a bunch of copies and also upload it to the internet for the message boards kids to rip apart- lame. all i know is bmx is about fun and style not the biggest crazyest 5 tailwhips in one jump that u can do- so plan and seeing a chill video from the rapture.
its a gunna be GOOOOD... soon i will be posting the rapture team set in stone. so all in all a bunch of stuff has been going on, God is in charge- church has been great on sundays- Jesus is the MAN! very soon im goign to be a daddy....

crazy times... Went to the inauguration tuesday and it was one of the most amazing things i have ever done. Cory Asraf and Justin Owens came along and that def made for a crazy time. we left at 9 on monday night and it took us about 4 hours to get there from jersey. We stayed with the infamous Chris Schmid! so we got there- went to bed at 4 am got up at 6am, caught the bus at 7 and got on the wrong bus and ended up getting a sweet bus pass but took a bus ride that should have been 15 mins and ended turning into an hour.. the bus ride was pretty crazy to say the lest but we were siked because it was very interesting(we didnt care bout how long it took)... we arrived at 8:30ish and started walking to the monument and the capitol building, when we got to the monument there was sooo many people then when we got over the hill we seen the capitol building and the huge crowd of people from the building all the way to the monument we were at. we walked and eventully ended up in the middle of everything, we posted up right by a huge jumbrotron, we heard and seen everything... DEF amazing. the opening prayer was intense and the pastor actually said jesus at the end of his prayer in 4 different languages and then in english. President elect, Obama was swarn in and his speech was perfect, so heart felt and he really showed how awesome america is. He basicly put the whole world in its place.
after he finished the place was a mad house, no one could get out of the mall, so basicly everyone was walking around like an ant farm so i decided to go against the grain and head towards the crowd instead of going with it because we had already tried almost every way to get out. we finally got out and we walked for another 2 hours in crazy streets to get to the road we needed to be at to catch the bus, so we basicly walked for 3 hours afterwards, i hopped an 8 ft fence and got caught by my boot and fell to my face and hand- was bleeding pretty good so i wrapped my hand with my shirt, i took all my layers off and used my bottom t-shirt... COLD! we got back to chris's house and went to sleep for a few, chris and i got some really good asian food and had some beer, we checked out some bmx spots and then headed back and played scrabble. left at like 10pm and got home at 4 crazy ride home, i wont go into details..
crazy crazy trip, Im glad i went and took the fellows i took, GOOD TIMES!
change is coming and i hope its a good thing. i hope our new president is exactly who he says he is and does what he says he will do.

how goes it?? things have been moving along well over this way, new shirts should be in my hands tomorrow or friday. i will post them as soon as i get them in and they will be available at staff mailorder. we have a new trailer out which u can find on vitalbmx.com and a few other bmx sites. Steve Martinho edited the new trailer and im really siked on it, thank you very much steve-o, im excited to be working with u and have you on board with the Rapture!! also the new props comercial is on the rapture site, Thanks to cj capozzoli for editing and getting the file converted to view on this site-much appreciated! we have new stickers and more new stickers to come, postcards will be available soon as well. check back soon for new updates and product.
Jesus is Lord.

things have been going pretty well over here, new shirts should be done with in a few weeks, we have a props comercial coming out on january 8th 2009, im really excited about that, its the year end props so it should be interesting to see everything that went down in 2008-
been riding as much as possible these days, some days in the winter it's not to fun riding outdoors but we have been blessed with some decent weather. john jennings showed up yesterday night and showed up in church today and i (and everyone else in the church that hasnt seen him in awhile) was very excited. john has been really doing awesome things in Jesus/Gods name. he loves the lord and his son sooo much, the presence of god with john is always around, such a good feeling to be around him and see god in him. siked u are here for christmas jennings! i am thinking about editing a new trailer for the dvd that should be coming out mid spring, should be about 2 mins long with some pretty wild riding but i havent decided if im goign to do that yet, if i do make one i will post where to find it on this page and im sure it wil be on my myspace which u can find on the links page. anyways i am going to get some sleep so tomorrow will come and i can watch jennings get tattoed for like 5 hours on his chest and neck- siked!
GOD is AWESOME!
be blessed and have a merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOD is good! about 150 people showed up for the event and for the first time putting on the show i thought thst was amazing. in other news, new shirts should be done soon as well as new stickers, both should be available by the end of the month. i've been pretty busy with recording for the rapture dvd which should be out by mid january, travis applegate and myself have been coming up with good spots and getting good clips so im excited about how the video is coming along. other than all that today is election day, i guess since it is 9:14 at night on the eats coast all our votes are casted, i guess we should know what happens when we wake up tomorrow morning, hopefully the nation realized the change we need doesnt have to do with money.
