When they carry you out you're gonna have to go

AR and the Life Goes On Foundation needs your support for youth programs.



Please come out & support Life Goes On Foundation on Tuesday, August 4th, at 7:30pm. We will be at 15510 Usher St, San Lorenzo, CA 94580. Life Goes on Foundation (LGO) is a non political / non-profit organization working in the bay area community to help bring an end to gun violence amongst youth and to find funding for a cure for paralyzing spinal cord injuries. LGO needs your support because we will be running an after school program that will contain a BMX track & a Hand cycle program for the disabled. Before my own life changing tragedy happened, I loved riding BMX bikes, playing basketball, and other sports. My name is Arthur Renowitzky; I am the founder of Life Goes on Foundation, 501 c (3). We are very confident and excited that Life Goes On Foundation staff & volunteers can run this program for our youth. The final step is the meeting with the San Lorenzo School Board. Our after school program concept has already been passed through H.A.R.D. We need all the support we can get! We look forward to seeing you there!

Chris from First Rule sent us this video a week or two ago, its from the Bike Film Festival in San Francisco, this bike jump is pretty crazy, the whole night was pretty crazy.....now I must get back to work and send product to riders so they can have some crazy fun..bye

checkout this video clip!

Cindy from Berkeley likes to ride bmx, and if you like to ride bmx here in the Berkeley area come out to the meeting this Monday. East Bay Bmx needs all riders.


The meeting for the Park and Rec. is this coming Monday July 27, 2009 at 1901 Hearst Avenue (at Martin Luther King Jr. Way) at 7:30 PM. To give you an update to what we have found out from the other cities that we have been in contact with in order to make this project a regional project. The current focus is to see this project become a new Joint Powers Authority Project like the Tom Bates sports field project..

At this time we hope the Park and Recreation commission will consider our effort as one that will be on the list for funding with the Measure WW Funds.

Elite rider Augusto Castro will be racing this weekend at the Worlds, Good Luck to the riders. This should be a great race with sooo much world talent in the Elite ranks.

UCI BMX worlds report in Adelaide, Australia





Nick "Dawg" Valenica at the worlds rep.team USA, below is some words from Nick himself about the track. Good Luck Nick Dawg and team USA. Oh yeah who is the rider standing next to Nick? Your right answer in the commit section recieves a Psykopath DVD






From Aussie land haha. Practice went well today and I was actually kinda irked because after the deaths of many yesterday including myself they made the call to fill in the rhythm and shave down some of the high spots. Meaning i got broke off yesterday for no reason. grrrr. Did some helmet-camera filming for Avant Garde Intl and it was cool to see the footage when we got back to the apartment. Everyone was gettin through the rhythm without ridin the bull so that was good, I have everything fairly wired and my knee is swollen as all hell but its a little looser today than it was yesterday so thats looking like it should be ok. All my local boys were lookin good Matt Trujillo was sending the first straight like a G, and D'Zapo was getting around well on his 24" so hopefully those guys can get deep in the weekends events. Kory Cook is stil my main pic for the win in 17-24Men I gated with him today and he was all over the first straight shooting the jumps low and fast, so Im picking him to be in the main and go podium for sure. Korben Corbett is still on a hot hand and got things together today for sure. Brock Heffron owned me down the first straight this one lap so I had to lurk him in practice and get him back LOL Tim Daniels is still the nicest guy in BMX.

This weekends video shoot was a huge sucess, the video location in Oakland was at a Park which quickly became full of local youths. More youths have lost there lifes to guns in the Bay Area than in the Iraq War this year. There is a War here in our community. Arthur Renowitzky has started a non-profit foundation to raise awareness against gun violence, and make a movement from his personal story. His music video and music is about not taking a young person's shine through gun violence. Arthur was one of the first riders for Psykopath and played many sports before a criminal shot him. Look out for AR's music video and his new motivation mixtape release. check AR @ www.myspace.com/realar

Unfortunately last night was the last jam @ Collins warehouse in San Carlos. But the good news is it was a blast with alot of Psykopath riders throwing down some big tricks. Also some more good news... I heard First Rule is taking the ramp and using it for a skate park their putting together in Oakland, Thats my city and I'm excited and looking forward to ride it soon. Good shit Coit & Kweli! There was a lot of good riders out of the bay but im going to give it to Joey for taking the show! He was airing out of the mini ramp about 6 or 7 feet over the coping almost hitting the ceiling lights. The best trick was from Lawrence Werrell busting a flair with ease. Cant wait for this Saturday in frisco for the Bicycle Film Festival block party!

Hello everyone!


First Rule is hosting the Bicycle Film Festival Block party in San Francisco for the third year in a row. We got a city street to build ramps, bbq, and have some fun on our bicycles. Psykopath will sponsor this event so come out, it should be a rager.

HAPPY FRIDAY
Bikes are beautiful, but bmx bikes are better. This was a pic I took this morning riding to Psykopath Headquarters and commuting on the bart train with my Psykopath street bike.

Jon Mooney came by to show us his new Psykopath XL race ride. Pretty sweet looking ride.

This is what Berkeley Bmxers had to ride on and session on before someone or some skater took it home. We need a legal place to ride.

East Bay BMX committe is back on the campaign for a BMX park in Berkeley.

We will be meeting with The City of Albany on July 9, 2009 at 7:00pm this Thursday at 1249 Marin Ave. - Albany, California 94706.

So far it looks like every city is on board except Albany. So if you can show up adn support this meeting this would be great. Also if you can get some more folks to show up that would be great also.

Factory Psykopath Team made the hot trip to Roseville Ca, for the Summer National, its a annual meeting in Nor Cal for old school past legends and new ones. There wasn't alot of motos, like past years where motos would reach close to 300, there were about 200, maybe the high gas prices and recession kept people home. It being a Pro Series brought out a lot of hungrey Pros trying to get a payday, with a stacked class in A Pro with over 40 riders. AA Pro had close to 30 riders and all three BMX Olympic Medal winners, in the Elite Mens,it was some good racing action. Below is Alan "Hotpants" Hudson, Mr. Carl Psykopath, and Jesse Langland. Alan got s thrid on Saturday in A Pro, missed the main event on Sunday. Mr. Psykopath moto filled the Vet Pro class, Jesse made semis both days in A Pro, he was looking very fast, training is paying off. Nick Dawg made the mains both days in his class, and it was good to see Psyko Chrisco race and makes mains in the old school crusier class.

SUMMER NATIONAL WAS PHUKING HOT, FULL REPORT ABOUT THE PSYKOPATH FACTORY TEAM TO COME

Our Factory Team will be heading to Rosevile Californa, again for the Nor Cal ABA Pro Series this weekend.

The ideas are coming in for a BMX park in Berkeley Ca. Below is a Berkeley Resident about his view about a BMX Park, so if you have a comment about a bmx park email us we love to hear your words..Will say his name is Boy George....bottom line is we need a safe place for our youth... The dogs have 100 acres at the Berkeley Marina why can bmxer kids get 3 or 4 acres..

Hey dude,

So when I was in jail, this kids mom came into one of the anti-violence classes they conduct in sf county jail, they had these classes once a week and were kinda heavy sometimes....they just threw the fucking book at the dude who did it...righteous...

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/06/16/MNH018877S.DTL

So I'm watching all these young teen black kids getting into bikes on the block, they tape them up and shit all colored like Kanye...its awesome...and I see older kids shooting at each other and associated deaths and car crashes and active swat scenes I suddenly bike into, and I see Solar Richmond training hood kids for solar jobs, and I see white people at community meetings coming up with no other ideas than surveillance and arresting any black teens in groups, and I think that Berkeley needs a bike track with a large solar array in the middle, as a training center for both bmx and education for solar, with loaner bikes for on site training. Berkeley can helps its own, if Richmond was able to pull it off, then why shouldn't Berkeley have something? I know space is a premium, but it can generate power for profit using a power purchase agreement with a solar company who then turns them into renewable energy credits in a market that is coming into a cap & trade on carbon, some equipment can be donated by various companies, but purchases would be part of a larger investment plan. There could even be electric car and bicycle recharging stations that charge a fee or city car share stations or similar. The space out by the pedestrian bridge would rock, I don''t know what that is slated for, something I'm sure...

Just thoughts, maybe I'm drunk or it's a real idea...

Wassup Heres a Pic I took in Oakland off high street @ this bike party after a Psykopath summer session.
