Starting Over

A brother of mine recently found himself without a home. He's been crashing with me and for a bit and I know he'll be fine, he's a strong dude. It reminded me of almost a decade ago when I went through the miracle of divorce, left almost everything i've accumulated in 20 some long years and had to start over. It's not an easy time but its a chance to start clean and make your own choices again. I'm not saying give up, but never fucking give it all up for something that brings you down.

We have a couple of posters that have real minor blems up for grabs. If youre in a similar shitty situation and have a kid, I really fuckin feel for you man. Always try to do what you can for your little one, they need it the most. We can't do much but if you email me your info and we will send you out some art for your new pad to class up the joint. To remind you of freedom, brotherhood, support and the road ahead. And so you can have some shit on the wall to impress that new lady with your superior level of sophistication. Before she comes over just remember to clean the pisser, unload your meat gun, have some Boons farm wine in the ice box, and show some class. Nature will do the rest.

Here's to the adventure of making all new mistakes. Push on, try to make good choices and hang in there. Life's short, fuckin live it up.

Issue 4 INNER VIEW - Max Schaaf

That's right, Mr. 4Q is gonna answer your questions.... at least the really good ones...........

So, ask away.......

I wanna personally thanks Max for taking the time to be involved in the upcoming issue... I'm stoked on it for sure!




As usual, I'll get the party started......

Dogs or cats?

Is there one part that you dream of owning but can't get your hands on?

What keeps you stoked on bikes?




-------------------

Post your questions in the comment section (below)... I'll keep this open until the middle of October.

Here's another chance to get in on the party..... don't miss out.........

Don't forget......

This sweet little party is happening this coming weekend....

AND we will be there with some ADVANCE copies of ISSUE 3........... it's gonna be pretty radical............ Do I smell a release party? Maybe..........

Sweet....

Sweet Cocaine....

So my brother Fingers has been building his version of Sweet Cocaine now for almost a year... he is ALMOST done..... we are running some project shots in ISSUE 3.... but I really dig these shots of Fingers and Vander the Viking kicking over this beast......

I'm so fucking stoked on this bike.............






Thanks Shoprag for letting me borrow these shots....

The Night Belongs to Lovers....

Gator was kind enough to let us run his amazing bike...... Gator is a prince of a gentleman...... master knife-builder.... and an all-around handsome gentleman........

The details on this bike are the SHIT..... but, you'll see that when you check out the mag......

Issue 3.......

Here's another look at Issue 3......

Adam was kind enough to let us run shots of his radical shovel........

going... GOING...

ALMOST gone.......

We are selling through Issue 2 at a pretty crazy pace.... I just wanted to thank everyone who is helping us make some changes......

I guess bikes and chicks aint so bad together after all............ huh?


We printed nearly 3 times as many of Issue 2 as we did Issue 1 and they are flying out the door......... we are truly humbled by people being stoked on what we're doing......

Thanks again!

DONE!

Issue 3 is all tucked in...... should be in our greasy hands in early October and SHIPPING OCTOBER 5.......

I gotta say I'm stoked on this issue.....

Innver View with Adam Wright...

Like 13 bikes.....

Tech galore......

An Interview thanks to Mr. Fonzarelli with Mr. Erik Brunetti from FUCT.....

And tons of other GOOD shit.........

Thanks again for all the support! We are truly grateful.......

I'll be posting some teaser pictures in the next week....... I'm really proud of this one........

SHOW CLASS, grass or ASS.... Nobody READS for free.....

New STICKERS..... and new shirts to come.....

Just a head's up.......

Little PRE-PARTY.........





And, of course we'll be milling around and hocking our wares at the shot...... just look for the overly handsome gentleman in the Show Class attire..........

It's OVER......

I realized I forgot to put a ending time on the BELT CONTEST...... So, I'm calling it......





We got a TON of great entries but 2 stood out above the crowd.... both in quality and quantity.....

Dave and Tamera sent these shots in...... thanks!




BUT I gotta say the man who won it all was Tad........ holy shit....... these are only a few of the MANY shots he sent in..... thanks for being a sport!






Thanks to everyone who kicked in......... we really appreciate the support!

The belts that are left will be in the store tonight..... there are only a few but we'll have MORE SOON.......

Later.

So SHOOT me......

Haha....

I'm slow....... I gave the Special 79 bars to someone who, well, let's just say isn't into our brand of fun (1 out of the 4,000 issues we've sold so far isn't bad odds - I guess)........ SO, I drew a NEW WINNER....



THOMAS PUFKI you're the WINNER!



By the way, when I googled images for this bloggy post (because that's what my life is about) there are fucking millions of pictures of hot naked chicks with guns.... and tons of haggered bitches out there willing to get naked on the interweb.....

I almost picked this picture........ just because......... how can't you stare at this shit?

The World According to BENJI....

So, our INTERN.... that's right...... hahaha.... my brother Benji wanted to see what it's like working for a magazine... he got turned down by Ladies Journal so he turned to us.....

I told him I don't know what working for a magazine is like but he could join in the party... he was stoked...

The best part...... Benji went on an EPIC journey in Europe where he drank, danced, made America proud and apparently snuggled A LOT with Adam Wright...........

Anyways, we are running a photo lay-out of Benji's journey Issue 3 but he took hundreds of photos.... so, I decided I'd share a some over the next couple weeks because they are compelling and radical..........

Thanks for sharing!

Later.

AND the WINNER IS.......

Michael Dugas


You WON the Special 79 bars........





Drop me a line and I'll get you all sorted out...... tim@showclassmag.com

Thanks!

Hahahaha.......

Hahaha.....

I got this email the other day........


-----------------------

So, I'm really fuckin' poor, and your magazine is cool as shit. I really want it, and I want it for free. But hey, I'm no deadbeat and to show that I'm not looking for a free lunch I decided to try and contribute to your homesick photo collection. my address is _________________. Please don't show up to kill me.

your friend, rusty shackleford









---------------------


Oh yeah, I got this from Mike a few days ago too....................................







Is it weird that I was stoked?
