Chill Run.

We went back to Turnbull, Warren felt like he needed some practice. After all, he does need to redeem himself after what happened last time we went up there. (You'll know what I'm talking about if you read the "Turnbull" post) We also checked out some trails that we could hike at night, which would make it ten times more horrifying. Look up some stories on Turnbull Canyon, you'll know what I mean. We also filmed Warren's run down the canyon, we will be posting the footage up soon. Stay posted.

There she is.

Tricky Left.

Found some trails..

...so we folowed them.

We'll make sure to come back to hike the trails and find the Gates of Hell. Search it up.

Transcendent.

Yeah yeah, call me a b*tch, but I drew this, for Lizzette, which she will use as a fan sign for kid who claims to be "Transcendent". I didn't do it for him, I did it for Lizz. Sorry it came out trashy, my work comes out the way I feel. Call me a toy, idgaf. This was a quick one, no effort. I didn't even try on this p.o.s. Whackness.

Turnbull.

"Tōge or Touge (峠?) is a Japanese word literally meaning "pass." It refers to a mountain pass or any of the narrow, winding roads that can be found in and around the mountains of Japan and other geographically similar areas, like the legendary Nordschleife in Germany.
In order to decrease the incline of mountain roads, thereby making them easier for commercial trucks to pass, engineers place a series of S bends in steep roads that provide access to and from high mountain elevations. These passes have become popular with street racers and motorsport enthusiasts because they provide a fun and challenging, albeit dangerous, course."

12:30am, let's race.

We all decided to drive up to the canyons at 1:00am for some good old fashioned Touge. Warren, (driver) and Victor, (co-driver) in one car, and Patrick, (driver) and me, (co-driver) in the other car. We pulled off on the road at the bottom of the canyon to wait for some roll-up racers to touge with, and we ended up chasing after some white car. Big mistake.

Warren and Vic chased right behind the white car as we went uphill, and Pat and I followed right behind them, but little did we know that there was another car coming up right behind us. It looked like a junkie little car, so we didn't really mind. Funny thing is, we ended up being sandwiched between a 1993 Nissan 180sx/240sx and what seemed to be a 1990 BMW E30 M3, both tuned, and both fully experienced.

90' BMW E30 M3. (Behind us)

After reaching the top, all four cars turned around and we started downhill, bumper to bumper. In the first straight, Warren and Vic were losing the 240 because of its speed and incredible precision while Patrick and I were struggling to keep up with Warren, the BMW behind us was really on our tail, so Pat had to speed up. The 240 finally let us know that he was a Canyon God by turning off all of his lights completely and began to take every sharp and tricky corner blindly and flawlessly.

This threw Warren off, but he tried to keep up. and as the 240 was out of sight when hitting a tricky left turn. Warren then slipped out while taking the turn too fast at about 35+mph (speed limit was 10-15mph) and hit the guardrail with his back bumper. Pat and I were pretty behind and were going about the same speed to catch up when we saw Warren's Cougar completely sideways into the guardrail, so Pat slammed on the brakes just in time and was literally inches away from collision. We switched co-drivers and all headed back downhill to stop at a liquor store, which was at about 2:00am. We just talked about what happened and stuff, crazy night.

Me practicing a "pre-race ritual".

After a couple runs, decided to post up and wait for a roll-up race.

Patty B. chillin after trying to chase the "Seeker" Cougar.

Pat wasn't that bad trying to keep up with Warren and the other guys,
after all, it was his first real canyon race.
Props, Pat, mad props.

Aftermath. "Not Too Shabby".

We'll be back up there.

Top Of The World.

Our Thursday night was pretty cool. We went out to pick up the homegirl Martha and took her out for a spin, covered some ground, and took her home. Overall fresh night.

Cowboy Vic and Martha, just chattin.

Stopped by Starbucks.

Hit up the fresh Vantage Point.

Dope Skyline.

Some scumbag trashing the city.

After dropping Martha off, we decided to stop by a doughnut shop where we lurked.

We didn't get much out of it, just the fear of innocent citizens.

We got home and Cowboy Vic played his country jams

and had himself a liitle Hoe-Down.

Bellis.

So we all went to Bellis to hang out with some friends. Everything was great, played some tennis, walked around with some ladies, and had a little "dance" session to end the night. Good stuff.

When you're nevous, eat a Paul's Place Burger.

Summer Nights.

Summer nights have been pretty fun, just hanging out after a good session at the skatepark and what not. No matter what we end up doing that night, we make sure to end the night with either some doughnuts, ice cream, or even a little game of hacky sack.
