What’s going on fam…I know folks haven’t seen me on the set in about a month, because I was having some work done to my bike. I was all set to come back stuntin on folks too. Well, sad to say, my bike has been a victim of shoddy work. I feel like it’s my duty as a P.R.O. in this community to warn my fellow MC fam about this, so you don’t get swindled too. I don’t know if any of you have heard of a new shop called DREAM WERKS on 135th & Budlong in Gardena. It’s run by this shady ass dude named Sean Sanders. DO NOT FUCK WITH HIM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Here’s the deal. I took my bike here in the beginning of May to have some work done. I bought a chrome swingarm, rims and accessories from Sean. He was then going to powdercoat my frame, the swingarm, the rims, and all of the other pieces. He said he needed two weeks to get this done. Two weeks turned into 4. He kept giving me bullshit excuses about why the rims wouldn’t fit on my bike. I got leery and told him to keep the rims. I didn’t want them if they weren’t Busa rims and wouldn’t fit. After about a week of futher bullshitting, I finally get my bike back. He gave it back to me in the following condition:

No Headlight connected.
No Breaklights Connected
No Back Breaks at all.
Chrome Accessories were held together with a fucking shoe string. Not one screw was holding this shit in place.

But here’s the main problem: HE DIDN’T POWDER COAT SHIT! He PAINTED my frame (and did such a sloppy job that he sprayed my engine.) HE SPRAYED MY GAUGES TOO! He PAINTED the chrome. That shit was so fucked up, it’s already chipping and the paint is peeling off. He was supposed to powder coat my Vortex rear sets…he painted those too. Paint is already chipping off. But wait, there’s more! To add insult to injury, this clown ass dude managed to scratch every fucking piece of plastic on my bike. Even shit that wasn’t fucked, is now fucked. So, I’m out my cash AND stuck with a bum ass job. Stay tuned to see how this unfolds. In the meantime, check out the pics of his “work”.

Looks Good from about 20ft away…

Now, let’s take a closer look…

Every sneaker collection starts small. Mine started when I was about 10 years old. There was my first pair of blue and black suede pumas…then the white, red and blue Reebok classics…My first pair of chucks (grey with baby pink laces), and so on…Of course, I went on to have the coolest sneaker head job ever, and my collection swelled to as many as 500 pairs. But, in the end, it’s not how many pairs you have, but which pairs are the most coveted. You can have 5 pair of shoes and have a killer collection, as long as you have the right 5 pairs. These are my pics, not in any particular order, and not any particular shoe. (That would be a reeeeealllly long discussion.) I’m just going for the categories with this one. Let me know if you agree.

1. Classic White/White Sneaker (Usually an adidas Superstar or Nike Air Force 1, but lately, I’ve found a lot of nice options like the Ubiq Fatima Perforated)

2. High Performance Shoe (Running or Basketball will do, Think Adidas or Nike.)

3. Sneaker Boutique Exclusive Colorway (Something you will not find in the Slauson Swapmeet, footlocker or the mall, period. Think Undefeated, Proper, Huf)

4. Air Jordans in any style (Not team Jordan or any of the other Jordan brand styles. I’m talking AIR JORDAN)

5. Slip Ons (Usually Vans, but these days, Supra, Creative Recreation and a few others make a nice option)

I’m getting my baby worked on…having some custom work done. When she’s finished, I’ll go into more detail. For now, here’s a couple of sneak peaks.
