Skate B Exposed! Skater B.... MXer. Yes already I have broke the rules of conformity and decided to expose a BMXer instead of a skater in my ABCDE-Z of skaters.. Why you may ask? Well as I was standing on the side of the bowl waiting for my turn to drop in, a doode sailed into the air torqued his handlbars and contorted a way stylin flight over my head on a BMX. Airtime I have yet to see a skater accomplish in the old loco bowl. On other occasions I watched this biker pull off sick tricks that I thought were impossible to do on a bike. Fakie = going straight up the transition then coming straight back down riding backwards. Handplant = coming up the transition and transferring into the bowl via grabbing the coping with his hand. To see it is way better then my lame descriptions. After some more awe I figured the underground world had to be exposed to Skater B! Who is he and what makes him so siiiiick!

R Jak. Name, age, rank, and gender preference?
Skater B-MX. My name is Clayton Rye, I'm 19, I'm a BMXer from HeLL, and gimme my Chicks you sick old cowboy.
R Jak. What were your first wheels?
Skater B-MX. I did start out on a skateboard when I was 9-11 years old but soon found the ground felt better on two wheels. My first bike was a Mosh Schooled back then.
R Jak. Who where/are your inspirations?
Skater B-MX. Mostly local riders although I do get something from the pros like Van Homen, Mike Aitken and Gary Young they are some of my gurus of Freestyle BMXing.
R Jak. BMX freestyle has a lingo of its own. List me some of your favorite tricks and the trick that makes you almost pee yourself?
Skater B-MX. Well I like to turn down, invert, lookbacks, bar spins, foot jam, and 180 spins. That’s what they are called but if you want to see these tricks just come and watch. The trick I hate is the tail whip airs, they always freak me out and make me mad.
R Jak. What is your true love terrain and do you ever race?
Skater B-MX. Just gimme some bowl and tranny. The street also supplies endless possibilities, I do enjoy a good dirt jump but the BMX racing scene isn't really my thing.
R Jak. I see you sportin an I-Pod sometimes during your flight pattern, what kinda music helps with lift-off?
Skater B-MX. Ohhh mostly heavy rock. Led Zep, Pink Floyd, the good old stuff gets me pumped.
R Jak. What kind of liquid do you prefer to put in your body?
Skater B-MX. That’s a weird question… I’m all over the Energy Drinks… but I am 19 so all I can say is.. BEER.
R Jak. , Give us an Injury report.
Skater B-MX. Man, where to start, dislocated toes and fingers, fractured ankle, knee damage, multiple concussions… But hey I feel pretty good today, a little sore maybe.
R Jak. Do you barge or wait your turn?
Skater B-MX One of the good things about V-Dub is you never have to barge. It’s all a pretty good pecking order here. So I don’t barge.
R Jak. Give us the name of your favorite equipment and what shops in town treat you best. Obviously not a lot of local shops have seen you ride here or they all would be treatin you good eh?
Skater B-MX True I guess, I am a big fan of S&M bike frames and the rest of my gear is a mix of stuff I can get for good deals. ONE SIX on Shelborne St are the shop that treats me the best.
R Jak Are you a lone wolf of do you have a crew to ride with?
Skater B-MX. We are the V-Dub Riders and all good friends; I ride this park with Harley, PK, Matt, Andrew, Justin, and Peter L just to name a few. Mob rules never alone.
R Jak. O.K Clayton just one last question … “Do you like your milk in a bag?”
Skater B-MX. Ahhhh I usually get it in a carton.

So AU readers that’s Skater B EXPOSED! He spends plenty of time down at V-Dub… so girls head on down and swoon over him and bike shops… don’t sleep on sponsoring one of the most extreme riders I have ever seen! Clayton Ryerson must be seen to be believed. Just when you think you should call an ambulance…. Clayton lands it! Faaack YEAH! Stay tuned for next issue when I expose SKATER C…. someone’s mom or ?-ricky jak

Cannibal Corpse …Kill cd review

Thrash em death em gore em and kill em all. At first listen I wasn't happy with the money I had spent because I’m kinda new to this type of metal. I'm not a fan of the growling grunting vocals; I grew up in the arms of Dio so I like a good operatic wail. After a few listens I started warn up to George Corpsegrinder singin. Cannibal Corpse start out full blast and don't let up thought this whole CD. At times I felt I couldn't breathe and was being attacked by a swarm of hornets. The songs are all scary spurts of suffering death, necrosadisism, nails thought the neck, bludgeoning, revenge, brain removal, boiling flesh, and misery. If their is a God I’m sure he has nothing to do with Cannibal Corpse. It is worth a listen and if your in a rush to get to or from your cushy government job putting this CD in your player will help! I arrived home from my job and turned this new Cannibal Corpse off in my walkman head. I entered the back door I noticed inside my house was still and quiet. I let out some loud growling grunts just like Corpsegrinder. I could hear the returned similar, but higher pitched, call of my youngest hatchling in her room. I walked down the hall and entered her room to see she had her toy dog lying on a table. Play dough formed into intestines were spilling out of a rip in the toys belly. She looked up at me and said she was playing autopsy. I closed my eyes and prayed this was only a hallucinated result of too much Cannibal Corpse. -ricky jak

2006 Wilroc Sprint Car season opener.The Gods of Thunder where with us. Rains were held back and the grandstands filled as the 2006 Wilroc Sprint Car season opens at Western Speedway! Now usually I hang around bars as my friends consume alchol while watching some powerfull band but my other closet pastime is going to the speedway and watching powerful sprint cars consume alcohol. These are the short wheel based, direct drive, winged, no holds barred get up and go cars. They are the best and the fastest... making 14.5 second laps at our Western speedway ashfalt track, normally these babys race on dirt tracks (Cassidy RIP). There is nothing more exciteing than seeing a line of sprint cars coming broadside down a corner then putting the pedal to the metal and lifting the front tires off as they come into the straight streach. Is the flagman happy? Yes it's a green flag and I GET HIGH as these loud mouthed cars open up and pass by. I took my two daughters with me and a handfull of friends, we found a spot in the granddstands just before the flagman. Daughter #2 quickly consumed a complete bag of cotton candy and I sat and watched the effects transform her into spaz hyper girl screaming and jumping at each racecar. I quickly documented the time trials on the sprints to help aid with the evenings gambling program.... yes gambling. The odds where not bad tonight with eight people laying bets. Tonights races also included Old Timer stock cars and a moto cross type motorbike race so there was eight short races (twelve lap heats) to win some cash on before the main event. You only win the pot if your car wins so it is important to know your racers. But with the sprints it's always a close race and as I found out on one heat it not over untill its over. My car was leading most of the way. Just about three laps to go my car spins out and ends up at the back. My fellow racefans laughing as I can no longer gloat at the money that was just about to go in my pocket. Screw them. The main events are always a gooder with sometimes up to twenty plus cars on the track. The oldtimers ran a good race with only a few spinouts and bumps. I personally don't like to see these cars crash because some of them are original 1930 ish bodied cars from the day. The motorcycle racing is exciting at the start but then the bikes form a line and thier isn't really that much passing to keep the excitment going. The sprints 30 lap main is the one that gets my hair standing on end, again it was a good race with minor spinouts and crashing. I like a good race and thats what I go for but inside all of us is the desire to see things get hit. Thank goodness for the demos to fill this hunger. So next time your going to head down to the bars and consume alcohol, check your race schedule and go and see the alcohol comsuming sprints instead. We are the ugliest tattooed bunch with kids and usually sit in the same spot, so come on over and lay your money on the bench. -ricky jak
