Aug 30th was the Revelation Generation or vice versa... held outside Frenchtown New Jersey... with about an 18 000 audience expectancy proved itself to be one of the biggest events we were a part of this year... with 2 main stages and an "X treme" area... ha ha where we shared the blotch of pavement with Skateboard team BFC... are bros from the west side... surrounded by orange fence mazes with gulf cart transportation and port o potty stations lined up for nations... Did i mention nation? it felt like a small one... and not the easiest place to drive up and back a semi truck through... gotta love the amazing hospitality and creme puff delights... although we were one of the acts i felt a bit lost in the sea of sceno glee.... just a BMX crew doin our thing... blending with our Hardcore to No Core generation with a REVELATION that JESUS is our MOTIVATION and it is no EXAGERATION he is present and active in our lives... on the rebound end of the stage of As i lay dying, Fly Leaf, Devil Wears Prada, etc... it was an Honor and Privilage to be involved. Did i mention CHIPS! /BACK to BACK/on the flip side after Driving through Jersey Pike Toll booths and the murky erie night to arrive in Lewistown PA... Did i mention im Driving through the night with STREET legend Seth Kimbrough and local BAMA boy Dylan Sparkman alongside NashVEGAS bro Alex Magallan in the back passed out with CHIPS all over his V tee... Ha ha... some will never know... what goes on in the rig stays in the rig... ha ha jk... 4 am check in to ratty inn motel for a couple hour nap and a shower is nothing for the reward of experiencing what we did later that day in the Local community outreach in the rec park parking lot... this was the Upper Room Worship Centers thang... just regular people God has Transformed and given vision and support to serve along with various members of the community Bliss Bike shop owner etc... as i am trying to think of what makes up those 8 things that make that hotel we stayed at soo SUPER... while setting up, warming up, grillin out... trickin out and speakin out from the places inside to the places outside with no disguise... straight up old school no main stage... just some Broken dudes with bikes and attitude.... this is what we do... to see those families gather with their gazing kids faces... and to our surprise like 20 kids on twenties just hangin out asking to ride... this is our prize! the Joy that comes from real interaction and not just stage attraction... it didnt end after our show...we cruised the streets with these kids... they showed us around town and it was all worth what we put in... and Seth and the gang in those moments reminded me this what we are about and why we began... this is who we are and what we do! i pray God your hand in that town and for your Glory to grow... these feelings i have cannot be described unless you just ride... there is soo much labor, struggles and sufferings of pride... but when you let go you understand your soul and nothing in the world can hide these feelings i have inside...
yeah this is deep... it aint weird... just expressing the Holy Spirit i have inside that collided after Christ Died... this is why we ride.
