here's some history bout the video. I hate seeing a cool vid on the net and not knowing any backround on it!
to you guys...keep your heads down and I'll probably see you soon

You gotta love getting news about old friends from high school. Who's
married? Who's pregnant? Who's in jail? But not who's at war. Well
technically the war is over but it is still very dangerous to be a U.S.
soldier in Iraq. I watch the news all the time, but it never hit home until
I received this vid in the mail.
Shredding in Iraq Video!! ( 14mb - right click and save to your computer)
I used to ride trials back in the day with this cool kid from my hometown in
New Hampshire named Brian Faenza. He was always hanging out with the crew,
skiing in the winter and biking in the summer. Well, needless to say that
with my schedule and moving to Jersey I had not talked to anyone from that
crew for a long time.
I saw some of those guys at the Bike Battle back in September and they
informed me that Faenza was shipped out to Iraq and the funny thing was he
was able to bring his mountain bike. (that's awesome!) They probably thought
it was for fitness and not to learn back flips on the sand dunes of Iraq on
his time off
.
Faenza is a real good kid and I hope he stays safe and gets back to his
friends and family soon. Who knows? Maybe you will be seeing more of him in
the next DH Productions vid? He did a great job making this whole video and
it has to be the best thing I've ever seen! So check it out and give him a
shout out, he will be checking HCOR!
Oh ya, if you think that you might recognize Brian Faenza from somewhere,
he is the guy doing a double back flip off a rope swing into water at the
beginning of Killing Time. Don't worry the bottom bracket is on the way!
Support our TROOPS and enjoy the video!
