REWARD FOR STOLEN PSYKOPATH BIKE


I woke up this morning to ride to the Berkeley Skate Park, which is right next to my house for a Sunday morning therapy ride to find out that some fucking asshole jumped my backyard and stole my street bike, a great day turned to a shity day. So all you Psykopath's in Nor Cal be on the lookout for this bike, its an older 06 euro bottom bracket street bike with a custom 30 tooth star psykopath gear, supercross forks, sx bars, sx cranks with psykopath pedals and S&M stem. If you see some fucker riding this bike kick his ass and get my bike and i will give you a new Psykopath frame of your choice. So you little shit out with my bike now you have the Psykopath Army looking for you. Meanwhile I will build a new one up, so I need parts, anyone willing to barter or sale used parts for a small fee. I am not picky I rode my last street for years and was happy riding it. email me for parts or reward carlrenow@yahoo.com

Nick Valencia our all knowing TM here at Psykopath takes a lap of his own and pulls down USAC #3 in the process. Be on the lookout for the team at ABA Oregon April
3,4,5th as our singles A riders and Ams tear it up. Riders will include Kevin and Kyle Zondervan as well as Jesse Langland and Nick Valencia to anchor the crew.

Psykopath's Team manager/rider Nick "Dawg" Valancia currently is the best two sided in bmx today, he is the formal World # 8 in 06, and after this weekend in Desoto Texas, he is the current USAC #3 in both his classes. He has so much skills and is so fast this is why he has two #1's on this plate. Look for Nick to repersent the U.S. in Australia this summer as he just made the U.S. team. After the worlds Nick will be on a mini Psykopath Street Tour for our new Psykopath street video coming soon. Check his email he sent us after this weekend the boy has Awaken the Psykopath within!!

What up?! Haha hey guys just wanted to send a quick shout to the guys/companies that make things happen for me and give you an update on how the USAC World Championships Qualifier went for me. Killed it all day Ive been riding well and my knee is good. Ended up #3 in the country on both bikes but Im psyked on the podium because I holeshot both main events but had some trouble with a certain jump and that kept me from the top spot. Had some good battles Im easily the favorite in the class and Im ready for worlds and the next 2 months will be serious training to put myself in position to podium in Australia. So just wanted to say thanks for sure and everyone who helps me out in small and large ways.

Psykopath Took a road trip down to San Diego for First Rules annual event. We went down friday nite and stayed @ a friends spot @ SDSU where the girls and the parties showed us a good time! Saturday was beautiful and a perfect day to go riding! We meet up with more riders and some locals @ a awesome 5,000 sqft skatepark rite off of the water. Riders were throwing it down. After a couple hours there we went to some crappy dirt jumps that locals told us about but its not worth talking about. Than we went to the infamous San diego ditches where there was incredible riding spots. There were banks, hips, halfpipes, wall rides ect,. Just so many things to ride! 2 bad the sun went down so we had to leave. Sunday was the day of the contest, Just hours b4 it started the rain came down pretty hard. Our riders pretty bumed out and we were so close to go back home but we ended up showing up. Despite the rain a good amount a riders made it out. After a couple hours the sun came out and dried everything off and it turned out to be a nice day again Yee Yee. Riders meet up @ Balboa park and went to the first spot, San Diego High where there was alot of rails and ledges to go off. After that we went a more spots where there was more stairs and ledges. My favorite spot was in front of San Diego city college, a double staircase and some nice walls to ride. The event was a success and i'd like to thank everyone that was part of putting this together. Im out Psykopath Industries!

Psykopath staff and First Rule guys meet up before the big weekend in San Diego Ca, be there to shut down So Cal, its that time of year for "C"EST LA LIE" this Sunday 22 March 2009 1pm @ Balboa Park at the Fountain. Again be there or be square.

But theres good news! We bought a newer limo for this summer so watch out for Psykopath riders. Were ganna be everywhere in BMX

This is Jon lawson are new VET pro and new street rider.

John Lawson is our new Vet Pro/Street rider from the East Coast, he will be our hands-on representitive in the field. He has been riding Freestyle BMX since 1980.
He competed in the very first World Championship of Freestyle BMX in Las Vegas,NV in December 1982 when he was fifteen. This competition was created and judged by Bob Haro in conjunction with the Jag-BMX World Championship of Racing at the Hotel
Tropicana convention center. He rode for Mongoose back then when the sport was still young. He took Second Place in the World in the 16 and under class and was in the March 1983 BMX Plus Magazine. He was then propositioned by Jag-BMX/Thom-McCan to represent JOX-JAG BMX Sneakers and see the world and ride for Renny Roker whom
owned Jag BMX Products. The Bottom Line is: He has a vast riding and life experience and he always try to contribute all of my knowledge and value to our sport to help facilitate innovative progression.
It is an honor to have John represent our company, wear one of our Factory Team Jerseys and ride on one of your Frame. Welcome to the Psykopath Family Brother.

Come check out and support nor-cal flats.

Psykopath Team hits ABA Phoenix in style. The trip got off to a great start with local boys Kevin Zondervan who was fresh out of EMT class, Jesse Langland our resident A-Pro on the road, and TM Nick Dawg even snagged another local Allen Porter who was hungry to make some noise in the new 41 and over X class. A quick stop at the local Red Bull HQ and the crew would have no problem knocking out the 11 hour drive down into the desert. Valencia would take the long drive in stride and think about the turnout that would be there including many heavy hitters in the ultra tough 19-27X class which he would share the task of getting into the main event with Kevin this weekend. It was one of Kevins first of hopefully many trips with the road crew/team and he fit well. Nick and Kevin had their work cut out for them, but maybe a little bit easy of a task compared to Jesse Langland who would be banging bars with none other than the complete podium from the Beijing Games as Strombergs/Mike Day/ and DR would all be in the house to make every A pro who was looking for a UCI point work as hard as possible to get it. Jesse started off with a rough Friday pre race but showed signs that the weekend could only get better. Nick and Kevin took the friday to scope out practice and rest for a very long UCI Saturday. Red Bull had an event going on that Jesse and Kevin attended with some pro wakeboarders in town for a contest so those guys went out and hit the night life as Nick and Porter layed low and plotted out the weekends race at hand.

Jesse looked good in the UCI rounds all day long but with such a deep deep pool of talent the quarters were elusive this time around as Jesse would just miss the cut but showed signs that Sundays typical A pro program should suit him well. He took tons of experience from the laps with some of the best in the sport and here at Psykopath we like to stand behind our single A's that go head to head with Olympians and show that they can be the next big thing, so god job Jesse keep up the first straight work and things can and will fall into place. Jesse wouldn't let a bum day at the track slow him down as he bolted home and showered up for a rave? Haha the heckling began but Jesse was off to party it up and trance it with some of the weirder people in the state of AZ. Haha might have stayed out a little too late though, as Sunday morning brought a first round fall that would start him off with an 8 in the low points chase. 8-4-1 was 13 points and left Jesse just outside of advancing to the next round of qualifying. Mike Redman caught wind of the rave talk and had dubbed Jesse "Night Crawler" for the rest of the weekend, always fun and Redman showed him some love to offset a close points cut. Jesse is looking for that UCI point still so he can represent Psykopath at the UCI Worlds in Australia and we fully intend on backing him to make that happen so watch for him at ABA Texas in 2 weeks!

Valencia and Zondervan were looking good in motos with a few 2nd round wins and shots into the quarters. Kevin is always improving and should be looking to go deeper in a talented class as the year goes on but this weekend was a bit much as he fell short of the main event but liek Langland got a good glimpse of what he needs to do to make it in the class. Valencia on the other hand is still working through a bummed knee but has also shown glimpses of what he can do when things are dialed in. A crash in the Saturday quarter left him on the outside so he would miss the transfer there but come back hard on Sunday and eventually survive the quarters and semis to take a 5th in a very tough main. That should help him move up in the current NAG standings for 19-27X and he has a little bit of momentum going into a busy month where he will be at NBL Nellis this weekend and ABA Texas the following weekend. Look for the team to always be hanging out in the pits at your nearest national and we always want to congratulate our riders on the way to factory level as this weekend the Martinez Family took down some good scores and even a win or two while in phoenix! Pics to be posted soon as the camera has been acting up as of late- Over and out see ya at NBL Nellis...

Psykopath Industries has a opening for five more psykopaths on its street team. We are trying to get a video in the works, do you think you have what it takes. Than please send us your pics and videos to psykopath_industries@yahoo.com and see if you have what it takes to be a psykopath.

Whats up riders?! Just checking in to keep the blog full of the latest and greatest news of all things Psykopath affiliated. Look for the majority of the team to be out in full force at the ABA Lake Perris National this weekend... Mother nature is threatening with some rain showers but that wont stop our team from getting there and getting to work. Riders to show up are Jesse Langland/Kyle Zondervan in single A and Mr. Storms will be looking to get a little deeper into the AA mix and see if he can get some scores in. Nick Valencia is flying in from his Florida 2 week stint and will meet up with the guys early friday. He's focused on more long term goals but should be somewhat of a factor for making the 19-27X main. Perris is usually a dusty dry race but with the talk of rain on Friday anything can happen so keep an eye on the news section for updated pictures and information on how the team is doing. As always good luck to our riders and to everyone heading out enjoy the races and drive safely!

Arthur The Original Psykopath
Making A Difference And Needs Your Help!
It all started when veteran BMX rider, Carl Renowitzky, wanted to involve his three sons in his beloved sport of bmx. Little did they know that their father son team would become a worldwide brand, ultimately receiving recognition at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing . Arthur Renowitzky, the eldest son, started competing in local and national events at age ten. Aside from being an avid amateur rider, he was a central role in Psykopath Industries as it grew to sponsor riders, street contests, and manufacture equipment. While most teens were working at the ice cream shop or slinging newspapers, Arthur's after school job was shipping bike frames all over the world.
In 2007, at age twenty, Arthur's life was forever changed as tragedy struck. While leaving a Bay Area nightclub with two friends they found themselves held up at gunpoint and all three were shot, with Arthur taking the brunt of the attack receiving a grievous wound to the chest. After being rushed to the hospital they found the bullet pierced both his lungs and had shattered his spine leaving him in a coma for three weeks. Two days before Christmas, he awoke to find himself on a ventilator and paralyzed for life from the chest down.
Today, Arthur is able to breathe freely, and is mobile with the use of his wheelchair and specially equipped car his father bought him. He lives independently and is engaged to be married. Life wasn't going to stop Arthur from living his dreams. His passion for basketball has led him to be a key player on his wheelchair basketball team with hopes to play with the Road Warriors and compete in the Olympics. He also continues his music pursuits by rapping with elite local talent and producing. Arthur wants to share his story and inspire others to keep moving forward. To do this he started the 'Life Goes On Foundation' which to helps stop teen violence and raise funds for spinal cord research. Arthur does public speaking engagements geared toward at risk youth to promote his message, "Silence the violence".
To show your support, spread the message, help with medical bills and research, you can donate to the 'Life Goes On Foundation.' Those who donate $10 or more will receive a Psykopath DVD or Arthur’s new mixtape while the highest contributor will receive a Psykopath frame of their choice. You can paypal your donations at www.myspace.com/lifegoesonfoundation

Psykopath Rider Nick Valencia heads to Florida!

Psykopath Factory Squad Hits ABA Reno!

A Pro Jesse "Hollywood" Langland wins opening Pro Pre-Race in Reno to Kick Off the Year in 2009
The weather outside was a cold 30-40 degrees but the action inside the Reno Livestock Center was FIRE! Representing Psykopath in the Pro Ranks was none other than Sean Storms with his AA debut and long time A pro Kyle Zondervan along with our rookie pro J Fillingeri. Sean was getting used to pack riding a little bit more but managed to grab a holeshot or two and showed a glimpse of what he has in store for the future. A little bit more consistency and youll see Sean sliding into the mains very soon. Kyle and Jason both had some great laps and hard luck laps as well. Kyle just missed the point cut by a spot or two and will be hungry for some main event finishes as the year continues. Jason is our newest A pro and is still adjusting to the ABA Random Start and will surely be a factor as soon as he gets all dialed in. On the Amateur side of things Nick Valencia was healthy enough to turn in some decent laps and make some moves and find his way into the 19-27 expert main events both days tunring in 5th and 6th place finishes. Team riders Sean and Nick are headed to NBL Phoenix for the first Elite race of the year and Nick even flew there a week early to hang out as Az is his old stomping grounds. Watch for him at the local races all week before reporting to work at the office on Saturday where he will try and get some more main events under his belt. www.go211.com has some videos posted from ABA Reno so check those out and make sure to check out the latest and greatest news here on the blog as often as possible. Pull frames are moving fast and a new order is on the way soon so check back for availability on stock and well get you set up. Over and out~!

After taking the loss hard Augusto is determined and training hard for the upcoming 2009 season.
