Redwood City Riders

 

These boys break, well, they break everything

Dropped right from the womb rolling down into a half pipe spin

Grind at the top

Then dip back into a drop

First few steps, 3, 4, then onto pegs

Suzuki JR 50, ruptured spleen, broken legs

The Live, They Die

These boys, these boys they truly fly



The gliders life

Motoring into a dive

Engine coils straight to the heart

Killing down into kick start

Tearing the terrain

Meteor shower of dirt in the Church of the earth

As an outside observer I can tell you that

  "These fucking bikes are in their blood"

They break everything and they still get up

Passionate in play with sacrifice

A quenching of the thirst for life

They live, they die

These boys, these boys they truly fly 




The sport is a joy that resonates in the soul of a people

You recognize the light breaking through excited eyes

Fear falls into the wind from the bliss of the speed reached within

They risk everything for the thrill of the spill on the crest with the best

Crushing on spine, all the time

My artwork has lived many short lives on the canvas of casts

A glyph to help the healing

Always ready to sign the next one bound to happen

The sun awakens glorious over the 280 as metallic panthers are on the roar

Tearing at the freedom that is all we have 

Feeling the wind kiss its blessing

In this ride everlasting

Speaking truth I am not one lie

They Live, they die

My friends they fly,

They truly fly
