Some might have the impression that I'm still in Las Vegas, but I'm not. Still I have some pics I'd like to share with you, like the shots of TJ Lavin's backyard. The yard has seen some work lately and also the warehouse for his toys is almost done. The jumps are rock hard but well shaped. There's even a resi to try tricks on. Two locals were riding when Jose, Webby, Shaw and I showed up the other day. Slayer showed up just when we were leaving for a BBQ at Cam White's place. 

The September - October issue of Cream came in and as usual it's got a unique cover. I actually talked to Morgan Wade about it last week in the USA and he informed me that it was actually a photoshopped cover. You see, Morgan and his wife Natalie are actually just standing in a studio making funny faces. They were later pasted into the final result. Noone got hurt. Sorry to spoil that. Here's the contents list:
-King of New York
