I know Matt and I are both working on getting bikes done for the run......... I'm sure we're not alone............. I'd love to see what you're doing to get ready.... doesn't have to be ground up......... just send me some shots of what you're working on............... tim@deathscience.com........... I'll post them up......... misery loves company........... meanwhile Matt and I will keep you posted on our shit........... we're making odds and taking bets on whether we're gonna get our shit done in time......... don't worry, we'll be on bikes not matter what but it'd be sick to be on the bikes we want to be on..............

Here's a little peak at what I'm working on.......... still A LOT to do and some of what you see is going away but it's getting closer............

Get signed up!

We have officially opened the Revenge Run store for sign-up and ticket purchases (see link on the right side of page or below). Everything is the same as it was last year with regards to how the merchandise and passes will be distributed, and how many campground spots/ferry passes we have reserved. Space is somewhat limited, and you will receive everything you purchased at the start of the run. If you are not going to make the run, but bought some shirts or something, send me or Tim an email and we will ship them to you. There are two ways you can purchase your run pass, but if you plan on going on the run, you have to at least purchase a straight ticket. This includes your ferry passes and your camping reservation, plus a cool patch and a raffle ticket. The other option is the Bounty Bundle, which will also include a t-shirt. You can also buy extra raffle tickets. The raffle prizes are gonna be even better than last year, so don't sleep on it. Check out the sponsor list if you don't believe me...

Ride for Lightning

We’re back at it again...

We were so stoked the response to the Revenge Run was and all the friends we made that we’ve been counting the days till next year….. but why wait till next year? The Revenge Run started the year off with a bang so why not go out the same way?

The Ride for Lightning (October 15th and 16th)

Initially Ralph and I decided we were gonna do a small ride and camp jam (no sponsors and very little organization) to get back together with all the cool people we met on the RR. But recently, we both caught wind of Lee Bender and his fight against Multiple Sclerosis…… And while neither Ralph nor I know Lee personally, we figured why not help out in whatever way we can. So, we decided to do another proper run and raise as much cash to help Lee out as we can.

I got into bikes for the same reason I got into skateboards...the brotherhood. And while I don’t know Lee personally I dig what he is doing and feel a certain kinship………..  Lee was a sponsored skater (OJ, Nike, Indy…) who was diagnosed with MS in ’07…. What started as slight numbness in his hands and feet quickly became numbness from chest to toes….. his balance has been affected making skating impossible…although he can still ride a bike (some of you have probably seen his blog – onesickrace.com)…... but the real fear is that MS is a degenerative disease – so, it will likely only progress from here………. but there is hope…….. Lee has found an experimental treatment that has shown real promise in relieving the symptoms of MS and returning those who undergo the treatment to a more “normal” life………… to undergo this treatment Lee has to trek to Poland (the procedure is not sanctioned to be performed in the US)…… To do this Lee needs $11,000…….. he has raised a little over $4,000…….. so, there’s still quite a ways to go……………. And we can all help.


As for the run route, well, the two coolest things North Carolina’s past has to offer are pirates and moonshine (well, maybe not all in the past). So, it only made sense to pay tribute to NC’s deep moonshine history this time around!

The Ride for Lightning will follow some old moonshine roads through the mountains of North Carolina. The run will start somewhere near Winston-Salem, go up to  Cherokee where we’ll camp for the night and then head down to Pendleton, SC for a blow-out after-party (same as last time – bands, booze, bitches…)…… same recipe as the RR except the first day will be a little shorter………… We will be riding through the Blue Ridge Mountains just as the trees are changing….. no better roads nor view in the country………….


We are gonna sell some swag and have a few raffles with all profits going to help fund Lee’s fight…………. There is also gonna be a small entry fee to go on the run which will also go to Lee………….. so, you spend a couple bucks and get to go on the run or buy some rad shit and all the while get to help Lee………… how could that suck?

Next week we’ll have all the details up on the route along with shots of the run.

For now, here's a general idea.... BUT the final route will be on small 2-lane roads and not on I-40.......


View Larger Map

So...................... it's time for some pictures....................

I know it's been a while since the run.......... but we promised a bunch of people we'd let them grab some shots for different magazines that are coming out and that have come out............

We've been in Greasy Kulture and Low Side already and there are a few more up to bat.......... but, at least now I can start posting some of the rad shots that everyone took...........



So, let's get the party started............


First we had a sweet write-up on the Chop Cult.....

And then the GKM and Low Side issues came out.....

We also had a ton of people upload their shots of the run............ here's just a few...............

I'll post more shots soon.................

Thanks again to everyone who helped make the run AMAZING!!!

Swap Meet - Monroe, NC July 17th

If you are anywhere within a two hour radius of Charlotte, NC, you might want to drive on over to the 2nd Annual Tumbleweeds Swap Meet in Monroe, NC. They are calling it a rally but if you aren't in the "My Big Dog is a Custom" crowd then just a heads up, its a free swap meet for all sorts of parts vendors and randomness. If you go, Josh our pal over at Wrench Works will be sharing a space with Ben of Ben Jordan Customs. With their bikes out there, surely at least a few killer bikes will be on hand and definitely parts for sale.

Local music.... if you're anywhere near NC you don't want to miss this....

Rusty Knuckles is back at it again............

Ralph's music label is having a showcase at the Dive Bar in Raleigh, NC on September 11.........



On the roster -

Crank County Daredevils
Hellbound Glory
Flat Tires
BeItTheMeans
Jay Berndt
She Rides


As much as possible, Raleigh will be going off that weekend...... That weekend is the Hopscotch Music Fest.... there will be over 120 bands playing in town that weekend.... Needless to say, if you like good live music Raleigh will have it in spades that weekend.....


The RK show will start at 6:30 with outlaw country sets by Jay Berndt and Hellbound Glory. After that we will have the rock show opening with She Rides, BeItTheMeans, Flat Tires and Crank County Daredevils.
