The Drunk Remains Premiere

Once again our resident drunk/east coast correspondent/resident whipping boy was allowed to another movie premiere. As like the Art of Flight he got heavily intoxicated, did questionable acts against morality and farm animals, and some how managed to remember to take photos and write this article. This is another tale from the mind of Brucey.

Sums up the evening perfectly.

9/18/11 the Rome bus stopped at one of my favorite shred shops Cutting Edge in Berlin,CT. By stopped I mean they came in force and drifted tricycles, battled graffiti, and customized the van. I got a text from my buddy saying that the pros were showing up early to put on a small cook out and signing while they set up the outside projector for the movie showing. Usually this means he wants me to show up and help set up so I rolled up just as it was getting dark.

Pulling into the parking lot you kid see all the moms and dads with the groms running and skating around. I was getting disappointed that this night was doing to PG and I should have stopped at the booze store down the street. With a decent gathering of people I was getting curious to what pros came down. Sitting on the concrete was Riley
Nickerson a super hungry east coast kid making a name for himself lately. Next to him was Johnny Lazz if you don’t know that name your retarded and don’t deserve to read the rest of the article! If you do know him you know he’s a beast on the snowboard and always having fun where ever he goes. Finally anchoring up like the land pirate he is was Laurent-Nicolas Paquin aka LNP the tweak’n wizard. Now I know why the crowd was there, they were still giving away free hot dogs. Poor suckers had no idea who was in the crowd with them, [I love having big juicy meat in my mouth]. I was pumped to shake hands and bullshit with this crew after a couple of shred sluts asked me who they were then they started getting more attention.

Who are these strange men and can I get in their pants?

They tossed the video in and Justin [Cafiero], the leader of this tour trip made a little speech how this video narrowly survived the flood that happened in Vermont. Which wiped out the lower half of the Rome headquarters.

The video started and I was blown away with how hard the Rome crew pushed to make a solid shred movie. It wasn’t without highlights! Lazz, if I remember right which could be questionable after the boys handed me multiple tall boys had the opener and set the movie off right, oozing style and control. Stale Sandbech’s part showed me why I’m never going to go pro. MFR is showing there are no lines between girls and boys in the shred game anymore. Bjorn reminded all of us why he is still pro and not to be taken lightly, serious respect for his part going big is an understatement.

Their am team must drink funny water or not showering helps because they pretty much showed up and killed everything in sight with style beyond their years. Laurent’s part well… I mean its LNP I see what he sees when he
snowboards. He’s on that next level of wild and creativeness, sliding chains are easy I guess? Finally the kids
realized who was there and the boys started signing posters, shirts and tits.

Shut the fuck up chatty Kathy!

Bottom line it worth sitting next to mom and dad with little Jimmy complaining about everyone chain smoking and drinking all night, I will definitely be buying it.

Beer fights with Broads.

After the kiddies, kooks, and randoms left is when things started to get really interesting. I don’t know where it came from, but we got it! A plastic tricycle that was made for drifting. So after a couple beers and some impromptu course building we all got our Tokyo Drift on. With mini fridges, benches, and trucks we had a legit course to drift around but the best feature was the bridge we built. The bridge was just an inch or so short of the riders head and you had to drift it just right to make it through. Needless to say everyone started to dump it and flip the tricycle, we all took our spills but followed it with laughter and cheers. Lazz got pretty good at doing drive by hits; hits being spitting beer at people. His first target was a shop kid that was hooking up with a shred chick that was there. This started a war and no one was safe, every man for themselves.

Death Bridge 2000!

Lazz on course.

At some point a turd decides to try and write his name on the Rome tour van with spray paint. Justin caught him in the act and told him to bounce before the boys saw what he was doing. It wasn’t till he pulled the van into the light to see what the fuck happened that the Rome guys wanted blood. Don’t disrespect the Rome family, heed this warning shit heads of the shred community. Thankfully we were able to clean it up before the paint set in and fuck that kid nice try asshole.

Don’t paint the van!

But with that happening we started to wrap up not before smashing a mini fridge with Nickerson and having a Double D shred slut flash us for shirts. At some point in the night I kicked off the fake tail pipes on the drifter cart and with Justin we screwed them to the bumper of the van. Fuck yea East Beast left his mark on the van. I could only imagine what else happens on tour with the Rome family. Thanks Rome for a solid night of fun and an awesome video.
