^hey small world! Finally somebody else to contribute to this thread. Aside from Foe, I doubt anybody would have met him, but I just got word that my good friend Yme was killed a few days ago. Kid was only 20, but had more miles under his belt than anybody around, was a bad ass artist as well. RIP.
BIGs thats sick i would love to ride the rails been a dream of mine for a long time. little video ridin back to the hole in the fence after paintin rode them to the swim spot and downtown plenty of times never out of town
Wicked pictures. Not sure if anyone has seen this but here you go: http://www.vbs.tv/watch/thumbs-up/thumbs-up-season-1-1-of-5
This is interesting, so basicaly you ride the rails back and forth or what? The way I see it is you just do this as a sort of 'camping' trip to see the country for free.
Dude, that's the tightest shit. Me and my freind John were thinking about maybe saving up and jumping freights to chicago, from here in Lexington. Maybe someday, not too long.
I'm at a loss. Not to sound like an ass or anything, as I'm sure some of you are really into this and all, but what exactly is THIS? Purpose?
That was the obvious reason, but I figured there must have been some other purpose. Thanks for reply.
I knew some kids travlin to portland about a year and a half ago. They said every train they hopped was super sketch up there, between the gangs and security at the yards.
bumpin this thread for more pics When I was little me and my brother lived next to a train yard, we spent mounths just hanging out there learning how everything operated, learning the tracks and where they were heading, and learning where it was cool to chill, who was tight and who to look out for. Once we were real comfertable with it we started hoping my favorite car to hop, besides boxcars, is grainers that have a floor, idk why i guess cause that was my first car to ever hop. and you can escap easy
