Get Ready For Some Ghetto Air This Saturday

The state of the world’s economy is spiraling out of control down a trajectory that I think even the brightest and most renowned economist will have one hell of a time trying to get us out of. Everyone from the super rich, well maybe not them, but the semi rich down to the dirt poor are suffering. And the hardest hit is probably the middle class. Well it looks like we all must adjust and it’s time to get ghetto.
Well lucky for all of you out there I did some extensive online research to help you out in a time of economic crisis. And the notion that we all selfishly look out for ourselves is plain malarkey. So just take a look at my list and thank me later.
1. I know that looking good is hard when times are tough and I know that some of your favorite clothing brands are probably out of your price range right now. But don’t worry, because if you want to continue to look fresh, just follow what this guy in the Advertisement.
2. Part of looking good includes working out and buffing up your muscles. But you and I both know that those gym memberships are not cheap. About $30 a month? You can buy 90 Cup O Noodle cups for that price. That’s enough food to last you all month. But check out this Ghetto Workout. Watch this vid and you too can look as sharp as a thug fresh out of the state pen. Especially pay attention to the move at 1:25.
3. And lastly if you’re an “extreme enthusiast” event organizer, you really have to cut back and change the format a bit. Check out the FBM’s example of the Ghetto Big Air Challenge. This is a one of a kind contest where the ramps are choppy, dangerous, and can probably land you in the hospital. But who cares? The show must go on. Read on below for some words from FBM.
As for the Event, we’ve got a bunch of prizes for the Mini ramp jam, and cash for Highest Bunnyhop of the day. Leland is going to have a hot dog eating contest, and Gull, as well as RPG will playing on the Flatbottom of the Mini while we run High air, and Best trick… we are looking at about a grand for the winner of each. Kind of a winner take all in those respects…. Ghetto Big air is NOT jam format, its a semi casual pre register/Invite only style, so if you plan on riding in it, email Info@fbmbmx.com and let us know. This is partly due to the outrageousness of the ramp setup, and the format of the comp…as well as limited time and space. Riders confirmed are Garret G. Mickey M. , Chad Kagy, Simon Tabron. Zack Shaw, Robb Tibbs, Zack Warden, and more, with Mat Hoffman Judging.
