DMBS Bonedeth demo pics

My buddy John Gabler from 333 photo designs sent me what he took for pictures of the BoneDeth demo we had at the shop on Tuesday. Hope you enjoy.

Bio: Matt Pappas

 This is the second dude on my list of guys that should be getting more notice. He is someone that I have watched grow up and become a guy some amazing bike control. He literally shreds anything he rides. Everytime I ride with him he amazes me with something or other. He's smooth and goes big, makes the most out of the smallest object that you'd think not even rideable. He's got so many spin tricks I don't even know how to begin to explain to you how much fun it is to watch him ride. He's definitely one of my favorite guys to ride with and everytime I do get to go ride with him it's a good session. His name is Matt Pappas. If you haven't seen or heard of him you probably soon will he is definitely makin' moves, the dude shreds. I asked Matt to give us a quick run-down of his current situation, so here goes:
Living Status: Bridgewater Ma

Riding Status: Cruzing the streets with friends having a good time, thats what it's all about anyways.

Life Status: Couch Life, Living the dream 

Future Plans: Riding and traveling as much as I can. Staying out of the winter.

Support: 90 East, Mauls Bike Shop, Tables and Fables

 Yesterday we had our second demo of the year. This time it was with the Bonedeth team, some sweet stuff went down. I think it's fair to say that fun was had by all that showed up. Here's a few of my friends that stopped by and shot some photos: Kieran Chapman and Nick Schietromo. Click on the names to go to their respective Flickr accounts.Some really nice pics from these guys.

Entitlement

 Over the past few months I noticed that alot more people think that BMX owes them something. Like they should be getting free parts or paid for riding, yet offering nothing in return except a web edit that any other person with a flip camera and some half ass-ed editing software could whip up in fifteen minutes and a shitty attitude. Shit everytime I turn around I hear people trying to get something for nothing. Do they think that they're better than the everyone else riding out there? Sure some of them have some talent and are pretty good, but I know a handful of guys that are literally killing themselves to try and "make" it and are a hell of a lot more humble that these shitheads. After 27 years of riding I realized that I owe my entire life to BMX (kinda one of the reasons I started this blog in the first place). BMX owes nothing to no one! Go about riding and if by chance you get noticed and helped out, then congratulations. You should be so lucky to be getting free parts or better yet paid for doing something you enjoy. People need to learn that they need work for things and not have them handed to them. I believe that is a real problem with the ongoing generations, less people feel like they need to work to earn things. Alot of people have a sense of entitlement, well I'm here to tell ya.....if you don't work hard for what you want, then you don't deserve to have it. This is just something that has been on my mind and if you don't agree well then I feel sorry for you.
