26 Feels Old.: DBZ: 1973-2014.
http://tonypiff.blogspot.com/2015/06/dbz-1973-2014.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2015. On the Monday before Christmas, my best friend. Tied a rope to his bathroom doorknob, threw the line over the top, and hanged himself. Now six months have passed, and it feels weird that I haven't written anything here. This cameraphone photo is the only shot I have of Dominic from the brief time he stayed with us during the summer of 2013. We were in the midst of our three-year home renovation. And dispersed his ashes and belongings. Will host the permanent archive of his bmx-rel...

26 Feels Old.: Lists.
http://tonypiff.blogspot.com/2011/02/lists.html
Thursday, February 10, 2011. Found this multi-page improvised pocket journal. In one of my old camera bags this weekend. It's an index of stuff I had in mind to shoot for bmx is cute. For the record, St Louis has the richest, most stress-free geographical density of street terrain of any place I've ever lived or visited. Everyone has a list like this, right? Posted by Tony Piff.

Monday, February 24, 2014. Video Vibes: The Two Secrets to Making Videos That Don't Suck. What I'm about to discuss are two principles of editing that I figured out seven years ago while making bmx is cute. These ideas may not be obvious, but they're not complicated or counterintuitive, and I'm amazed that no one has ever pointed out how powerful and important they are. And these two principles, as far as I can tell, are the sole determining factors for a video's vibe. Here goes. 1 Audible bike sounds.

Wednesday, July 23, 2014. The "Summer Thursdays" of 2009 were an epic. Hard to believe that was four years ago. DBZ. Are scouting spots for a midsummer night's street jam, happening this Tuesday. Avoid disappointment by showing up at the right place. At the right time. Any out-of-towners looking for floorspace can send me an email. Posted by Tony Piff. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

26 Feels Old.: Street Jam Recap.
http://tonypiff.blogspot.com/2009/08/street-jam-recap.html
Saturday, August 22, 2009. Nice turnout Thursday night. Whole buncha kids I'd never met, shredding. And having a blast. Good spots, great vibes, beautiful night. Once we got the mob moving, I didn't notice anyone hanging on the sidelines. At least two broken chains, but no flat tires, no run-ins, and no significant injuries. I only broke out my pocket point-n-shoot when I wasn't riding, which wasn't very often, so this is a pretty lazy documentary. Help with names for these photos would be appreciated.

Wednesday, July 03, 2013. Collectible DBZ Merchandise Revives Dead Blog. I do love blogging. I think blogs are an important, relevant medium for original content. And I think the challenge that the internet represents for hard media like print and dvds is competition in the healthiest sense of the word. If anything, the instant, fleeting nature of the internet highlights the slow, tactile pleasure of turning glossy pages with your fingers and the rich feeling of a well curated bookshelf. I think the term...

Friday, August 22, 2014. Portland Summer Street Jam: Rails, Stairs, Prizes, and Photos. Turnout for this summer's weekly nighttime street rides has been excellent beyond all expectations, and this week DBZ even got Cult. To throw down for a sponsorship! We hit six iconic Portland spots and awarded prize packages at the end of the night. He no-handed the Rose Quarter nine-stair and pulled a clean ice-to-nose-to-bar at PepsiCo. MVP went to Draven. Nate's suicide no-hander at the Rose Quarter nine. A millio...
