I met Ron a few weeks ago and within an hour he was piss drunk, within an hour and a half he was wrestling Kyle Hart seemingly to the death on the floor, 10 minutes after that he was puking all over his own porch, and within 3 hours he was completely back to normal. Anyway here he shows off some of his art.
Hoang was telling me the other day about a TV show pilot that he was a part of and today the trailer popped up on the Ride site. The riders involved are Hoang, Gary Young, Tom Perry, Kyle Hart, Jon Peacy and Dirt Ron. Here’s the description:
“Good Times Roll is a groundbreaking new show that unites the worlds of skateboarding and BMX. It’s an adrenalin-filled travel show hosted by the two most stylish characters in the action sports universe: professional skateboarder Patrick Melcher and pro BMX rider Jon Peacy. Together they grant a backstage pass to a life every kid on wheels dreams about—coverage, comradery, and the whirlwind life on the road. GTR will keep devoted enthusiasts glued to their seats without alienating viewers who enjoy watching action sports from a safe distance.
Their mission is simple: roll into town and shred as much as possible. The best local skaters and bmx riders become tour guides and share their secret spots. Each crew has a photographer and filmer to document the action. Divide, conquer, reunite, compare notes and go for more.
Good Times Roll is a fun-filled thrill ride that joins two radical worlds. Double the action, double the fun. Let the good times roll.”
I just heard officially that Dirt Ron is off The Take, and I hear that he may be the new top secret rider on Subrosa. Good news though… Chris Z of AOTC fame is now on The Take.
