PRIVILEGED BREAD – SUCK MY COMP WEEKEND!

Bread cam coverage of Suck My Comp 5 weekend with some extras from before and after. So many people in one video, it warms my heart 🙂

Head Smash

Last Saturday me and the Dooc man went out for a casual bike ride to the beach on our Trick Track builds that ended in a pool of blood, 17 staples, and stitches. I’ll discuss this more on the upcoming Off Track episode, but long story short, I tried to grind a bench and hit my head up top (see gallery for reference). It was such a nice session too. I’m cooped up and off the bike for at minimum a few weeks. I get my staples removed in a couple days so hopefully the healing is quick.

Luckily for me, most of the damage was external and not internal. I thought I was okay until blood started pouring (literally) from my skull. Currently a little unsteady in day to day, but overall not concussed.

Moral of the story, pay attention to the height of things while riding your bike. The moral should probably be to wear a helmet… yeah, maybe lets go with that one.

MUST WATCH – LOST – Matt Spencer

Stop what you’re doing RIGHT NOW and please watch Matt’s latest edit: LOST. This is a masterpiece from front to back. Matt is a long time FGFS veteran and in the 13 years he’s been putting out videos, this one blows all of his previous parts out of the water. From the spots, to the speed, to the creativity, Matt is truly in peak form right now. Absolutely nobody is riding the way he does. I’ve already watched this a few times and you bet I’m gonna watch it 10 more times before the year ends. Bravo Matt!
