Zombie Vacation Memorial Day T Shirt Sale

At the conclusion of the As I Lay Dying frontman’s bail hearing earlier today, the judge lowered his bail to $2 million, which Lambesis’ attorney claims is still too expensive for Lambesis.



Lambesis plead not guilty to one count of solicitation of murder after attempting to hire a hit man to murder his wife.


UT San Diego filed a report from inside the courtroom reporting that the defense requested the bail be lowered to $250,000 but Judge David Berry would only agree to lower it to $2 million.


During his appeal, Warwick also claimed that Lambesis began using steroids, which clouded his judgement:



Thomas Warwick, the musician’s lawyer, said his client had gotten into body building and eating healthy, and later began taking nutritional supplements as a paid product spokesman. At some point, he also began taking steroids, he said.


“His thought processes were devastatingly affected by his steroid use,” Warwick said.



Another shocking revelation came from the prosecution who revealed the cost of alleged hit on Lambesis’ wife was priced at $20,000 and that Lambesis was “very willing to pay that.”


This just keeps getting crazier and crazier! Stay tuned for more updates



First Ever Skateboard 1080 Landed on X Games Megaramp

Talk about making an impression.  This just in from X Games Barcelona 2013, Sixteen year old skateboarder Mitchie Brusco landed a 1080 on his skateboard on the MegaRamp.


It amazes me that he didn’t win Gold but he did make X Games history by being the third skateboarder to land a 1080 (that’s 3 full rotations), and the first ever to land it on the MegaRamp.  His friends 13 year old Tom Schaar and 16 year old Jono Schwan are the only others to land the trick in competition.  All this at 16 years old, I think he has a bright future.  I mean the kid looks like he’s 10.


Bob Burnquist who won gold was sure to praise Brusco stating “I just can’t believe this kid did a 1080, like, first try,”.  It’s true that you can see from the video he lands it with very little effort.


Tony Hawk was commentator and the video shows his reaction from the booth, it’s safe to say he was stunned.  It’s been quite a while now, but I seem to remember the first 900 landed in competition by Tony Hawk, though I think it was a little tougher for him on the half pipe.

2013 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Season Preview

2012 Lucal Oil Pro Motocross champions Ryan Dungey and Blake Bagget lead 2 stacked fields into the 2013 Motocross Championship.  Lets take a look at how the fields stack up as we head into Hangtown.


450 MX:


2012 Champion Ryan Dungey still has to be considered the favorite.  After winning 10 of 12 races in 2012 he showed his dominance in the outdoor circuit.  Which we all know seperates the pretenders from the elite when it comes to endurance.  30 minutes plus 2 laps is unbelievably hard.  Then you have to do it twice, during the hottest time of the year.


The biggest difference for Dungey this year will be the return of 2011 Motocross Champion and 2013 Supercross Champion Ryan Villopoto.  RV missed 2012 outdoors because of a knee injury and he has yet to lose a championship that he has finished.


Another X factor is James Stewart, who boasted 1 of Dungey’s 2 losses in 2012, and he looked really fast doing it.  But as always he has yet to show a consitent string of races.  Stewart did sit out the last few rounds of Supercross to prepare for the outdoor season.  An interesting fact that may only interest me is that Stewart and Villopoto have never faced off in an outdoor series.


Unfortunately we won’t see the newly resurgent Davi Millsaps as he sits out due to leg surgery.  But Honda rider Justin Barcia had a moto win in 2012 and rode really well during the Supercross season.  Trey Canard who has been riddled with injuries is always a threat as he rides really well outdoor.  Another rider returning to the outdoor field is Chad Reed.  Reed had what he would consider a disappointing Supercross Series in 2013 but he always rides really well outdoor.


Mike Alessi was the runner-up in 2012, and if he can work on his endurance he should do well because he is always leading the race after the start.  Josh Grant is healthy as was getting his speed back in supercross, and joining the already deeply talented field will be Dean Wilson.  This is going to be an extremely exiting 450 class.


:: UPDATE ::


It looks as if Christian Craig will be out for the outdoor season after a crash in the final round of the supercross series will require him to have surgery on his wrist.  It looks like Malcolm Stewart will fill in for him and race along side his big brother James for the 2013 motocross championship.


 


250 MX:


Blake Baggett had what he would consider a disappointing Supercross season, but I find it hard to think he won’t be a contender.  But his job will be much more difficult this year with 2013 Supercross champion Ken Roczen and runner-up Marvin Musquin.  Both riders are multi time world motocross champions out of Germany and France respectively.


Baggett will also have to content with runner up Eli Tomac who look sharp in the supercross season and has to be a favorite to win it all.    Lets not forget veteran talents like Martin Davalos, Nicco Izzi, Blake Wharton and Jason Anderson who can make things interesting.


Honestly this class is a little harder to call because so many riders are so close in speed and really don’t have a template for their outdoor speed over a long Motocross season.


The one good thing about the 250 class is that every year there is a new comer, or rookie that impresses and puts pressure on the veterans.  There is always a kid in each hometown that can fly.  But this year rookie amateur sensation Adam Cianciarulo will line up at hangtown, along with Justin Hill and surprise newcomer Joey Savatgy.


One thing is for certain there wont be a lack of drama in both classes through the 2013 Lucas Oil Motocross Championship.  Looking forward to it.

Memorial Celebration Announced For Slayer Guitarist Jeff Hanneman

The band just released all the details surrounding the memorial:



The Jeff Hanneman Memorial Celebration will take place on Thursday, May 23 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles from 3:30 – 7:30PM. Hanneman passed away on May 2 at the age of 49.



The Memorial Celebration will be free and open to the public on a first-come, first-in basis (subject to venue capacity). All ages are welcome, and paid parking will be available around the venue.


Jeff Hanneman helped shape Slayer’s uncompromising thrash-metal sound as well as an entire genre of music. His riffs of fury and punk-rock attitude were heard in the songs he wrote, including Slayer classics “Angel of Death,” “Raining Blood,” “South of Heaven” and “War Ensemble.” Hanneman co-founded Slayer with fellow-guitarist Kerry King, bassist Tom Araya and drummer Dave Lombardo in Huntington Park, CA in 1981. For more than 30 years, Hanneman was the band member who stayed out of the spotlight, rarely did interviews, amassed an impressive collection of World War II memorabilia, was with his wife Kathy for nearly three decades, shut off his phone and went incommunicado when he was home from tour, did not want to be on the road too late into any December as Christmas was his favorite holiday, and, from the time he was about 12 years old, woke up every, single day with one thing on his mind: playing the guitar.


It was once suggested to Slayer that if they would write “just one mainstream song that could get on the radio,” they would likely sell millions of records and change the commercial course of their career, similar to what had happened to Metallica with 1993′s “Enter Sandman.” Jeff was the first to draw a line of integrity in the sand, replying, “We’re going to make a Slayer record. If you can get it on the radio, fine, if not, then fuck it.”


 


RIP JEFF you will be missed

Tim Lambesis' Defense Attorney Claims AS I LAY DYING Frontman Was Set Up

It’s been over a week since the shocking arrest of Tim Lambesis, who allegedly was attempting to hire a hitman to murder his wife. Lambesis was arraigned last Thursday, May 9th, and plead not guilty to one count of solicitation of murder. Later in the day, courtroom video footage revealed the proescution’s case against Lambesis, which includes audio of him telling an undercop cop posing as a hitman that he wanted his wife dead.



Over the weekend, Lambesis’ defense attoryney, Anthony Salerno revealed Lambesis’ defense in a new interview.


Salerno spoke to Artisan News Service and revealed that his client was originally going to be charged with conspiracy to commit murder which holds a maximum of a life sentencebut Salerno got the charge down to solitication of murder which has a maximum penalty of nine years in prison.


At the time of the interview, Salerno had yet to see see any of the prosecution’s evidence but was claiming that a police informant set Lambesis up stating:


“I would anticipate myself asking for quite a bit of additional discovery, particularly on this person I strongly suspect is a snitch and is an informant for the police and was really creating this whole scenario and sort of setting Tim up. I believe there’s a good probability he may be a police informant. And that information is only available internally with the police department, or in this case the San Diego Sheriff’s Department, and through the D.A.’s office, and that’s something I’m gonna have to explore as well.”


He later went as far as to say that Tim’s estranged wife’s brother, who is a sheriff in the department had something to do with this alleged setup:


“There’s one other element to this, too, which is… I don’t want to start to make accusations on this one unless I have some more information, but I will point out that Tim’s wife’s brother, I understand, is a San Diego Sheriff’s deputy, and I think I would be remiss if I didn’t fully explore that, ’cause that is a litte bit… it’s at the bare minimum very coincidental, and it may be more than that.”


It’s going to be a long road. The prosecution has a tape with audio in which Lambesis confirmed to the hitman/informant that he wanted his wife gone after handing the “hitman” an envelope with one thousand dollars in cash, Meggan’s address, photos of his wife, security gate codes instructions on how and when to enter the home.
