Bike Check and Bio: James Casio Velez


  Casio is a legend.  I had the honor of meeting him, Rob Ramos and Lou Perez (UND) about 13 years ago while riding Mullaly Skate Park in the Bronx.  I was young, riding my lil Mongoose, watching these cats do their thing on the ramps, blasting past the copping with tricked out airs.  One of the first words between us when I was a kid would probably have been " Get the fuck out the way" hahaha...memories.  Casio has stories for days.  Stories you want to sit around and listen to about old spots, riders, events, the streets, etc...he's lived it.

GT Pro Series

I ran into this fire today in the city.  Had to take a flick for Bob, I got you OG.  Peep the "Bob Bars" and GT 3pc cranks made by Profile Racing back in the Heman Days.  These cranks only came equipped on the high end GT models...OG joints .  Now, its been converted to a Minority Mobile ;-), meow

RIP M-Bone. Moment of silence...now erbody dougie!

M-Bone, co-creator of "The Dougie" murdered by a drive by outside a liquor store in CA.
Got this from Kpic.com

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) - M-Bone of the rap group Cali Swag District, which scored a hit last year with the song "Teach Me How to Dougie," was killed in a weekend drive-by shooting as he sat in a car outside a liquor store, police said Monday.  The motive for Sunday night's shooting was under investigation, Lt. James Madia said.  The 22-year-old Inglewood man, whose real name is Mante Ray Talbert, was sitting alone in his car shortly after 10:30 p.m.  "Another car pulled alongside, gunshots were fired, and the victim was struck twice in the head," Madia said.  Talbert died at a hospital.  Witnesses gave varying descriptions of the fleeing car, Madia said.  Talbert was "the victim of a random act of violence," said a statement from Cali Swag District's publicist, Greg Miller.  "He was a hardworking, passionate artist and dancer that will be deeply missed," Miller said.
Bandmate C-Smoove tweeted Monday that his life changed drastically in the blink of an eye, and added "rip mbone."  Cali Swag District's hit "Teach Me How to Dougie" is based on the "Dougie" dance, which first appeared in Texas and is noted for its leaning stances, shoulder and arm movements.  The dance was not only performed in dance clubs and the streets but by celebrities as well, from Wolf Blitzer to Washington Wizards star John Wall; even first lady Michelle Obama recently performed the dance as part of her "Let's Move" initiative.
"Teach Me How to Dougie" spent several months in the top 10 of Billboard's hot rap songs. The group also performed the dance on several television shows.
