Anyways basically this is a call out to all the people that have access to this blog (no not you and no you can't have access because you suck) and are not posting.

Well actually it's Friday and I missed the last 2-3 weeks, but that's why this cuntry is great.  The Freedom to be a shitty, lazy, unmotivated, underachieving, disappointing asshole or as I call it the Verg clause.  Anyways this week was the 4th of July aka Freedom Day.  To celebrate it there were great explosions, laughs and a little singed flesh, but if people die to protect our freedom than I sure as hell think that's its ok for innocent people to get a little flesh wound now and then.  It really help to remind us of the sacrifices that were made so we can combine booze and fireworks into an irresponsible freedom cocktail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe

The Rapture is coming, no not the shitty band.  God is pissed off and we're all going to hell.  Think about it does it really matter if we go to hell 60 years early.  We're there forever and so I think in the end 60 years isn't going to bum me out too much (although I have yet to do drugs off a strippers tits).  Anyways see you guys in hell after 6PM eastern time 3PM Pacific, and don't forget to bring your coozy.

Said videos contain freedom riders of the stunt wood persuasion. Skateboarders! As we all know George of the Dude Barn fame is as connected to the vein of skateboarding as Charlie Sheen to the pulsating heart of 18ur old prostitutes.&lt;br /&gt;Jimmy, an O.G. skater from Jersey and EM aficionado, dropped a sweet viddy of a hippy skater freestyling to Pentagram! It inspired. &lt;br /&gt;George quickly returned two cuts on the same thread that are equally inspiring. Most noteably the Japanese cut with hair ball rail riding rather than over under flippy tricks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-OohMEJiX0Y" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/9351357?title=0&amp;amp;byline=0" width="425" height="319" frameborder="0"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://vimeo.com/9351357"&gt;Tim and Eric - Roger of the Month - March 2010&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href="http://vimeo.com/rogerskateboards"&gt;Roger Skateboards&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a href="http://vimeo.com"&gt;Vimeo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="242" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JVGgqvsz3qA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2310030901895123662-1181916766003372303?l=eddy-merkin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2310030901895123662/posts/default/1181916766003372303'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2310030901895123662/posts/default/1181916766003372303'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddy-merkin.blogspot.com/2011/05/skate-video-battle.html' title='Skate Video Battle'/><author><name>etharfurning</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09518011962976321464</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cmYs4VcGDps/SW7DWkvKNcI/AAAAAAAAAlE/xci5S6rM_ec/S220/P1010243.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/-OohMEJiX0Y/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2310030901895123662.post-7733201672712971364</id><published>2011-05-04T22:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-04T23:07:20.373-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cuntry Wednesdays</title><content type='html'>We'll assholes it's Wednesdays so you know what that means.

The couch, beer, and Netfix usually get the better of me until well into spring.  With that in mind, check this video out.  It's hits home with me for two reasons.  First, it seems there are very few good videos on the interwebs these days that feature riding bikes with a single crown fork AND a front brake.  Second, its a pretty good reminder that there is no real reason we can't be keeping our mountain bikes from collecting dust this time of year.  Besides, apparently all you need is a neck brace to keep from freezing in the snow...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/18906195" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://vimeo.com/18906195"&gt;Chuwbakasode #1: Winter Ride&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href="http://vimeo.com/user417704"&gt;Mitch Chubey&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a href="http://vimeo.com/"&gt;Vimeo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2310030901895123662-5590522946096214828?l=eddy-merkin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2310030901895123662/posts/default/5590522946096214828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2310030901895123662/posts/default/5590522946096214828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eddy-merkin.blogspot.com/2011/01/it-is-winter.html' title='It is winter'/><author><name>Darkness Merkin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10792338141632713018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e0RY66hevoI/STdPSHO5KAI/AAAAAAAACWo/eDm3irx-OXg/S220/P6150103.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2310030901895123662.post-1136799088198685518</id><published>2011-01-16T20:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-16T20:10:40.729-08:00</updated><title type='text'>WeirWolf Tire Development</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe frameborder="0" height="225" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/10077111?byline=0" width="400"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This stuff is amazing.
