Quick Failure team update

Raul Ruiz rules and he has a new web edit on www.dcshoes.com. He is one of the DC flow team guys. Seth Klinger is doing shows with Ron Thomas and testing the 21 inch Jeremiah Smith Flyin Lion frame for us. Jeremiah is back on his bike after recovering from a broken thumb. Nate Wessel is the most traveling dude I know. He is going to Dubai, Colorado, Puerto Rico, London, China and a few other places within the next 7 weeks. Crazy! Chad Kagy is getting ready to do some filming at Woodward with Amp energy in November. Ryan Mills is drinking Monster and playing cards with Marliss. A few of us will be heading to the Flow comp in a few weeks and hitting a lot of spots around here and at Woodward for a Failure web edit. Lots of cool stuff going on with the team. nite nite
