Here's the second installment of General Hsu's Pickens (remember he is Chinese). If you're not familiar, it's when I got on his Nazi Gold blog, which consists of just random cell phone pictures he takes from his travels. He calls it "cellular faggotry." Anyway, I pick 5 I like and here they are:


Now that's pretty racist.


I wonder if this is the same guy that tagged "Getty Images" in one of Jerry's photos from
my last pickens.


I picked this one becuase I wanted to tell you I once knew a girl from Paris who had the
same shave...just not on her head.


So pretty much a Friday night.


If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still rember me
For I must be travelling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see

blah blah blah blah blah

And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
blah blah blah blah blah blah

In case you didn't know pro skater/photographer/artist, Jerry Hsu (that's him taking a nap above), has had a blog for a little bit now. It's pretty simple, just cell picture after cell picture, he's calls the creation "cellular faggotry." Its stop on the worldwide web is www.nazigold.tumblr.com/. That being said, I've decided to start a little series here on Grind TV where every month or so I pick 5 of my favorites. I think I'm going to call it General Hsu's Pickens (he's Chinese), I haven't decided yet. Anyway here's 5 of my favorites:


This is funny because I get photos from those guys sometimes.


If you don't get why this is funny, you're too young to read anything I write...anything.

I heard about the dog thing, but rabbits too?

What's going on with these halfpipe snowboarders? They got this contest coming up that only happens every four years, as in the Winter Olympics, and they're dropping like flies. Ok, so the first one, Kevin Pearce, his accident happened in practice while attempting one of the hardest new moves in snowboarding. That comes with the territory, especially when you're pushing the limits of what can be done, and we all hope Kevin makes a full recovery.

Now, this last one involving Danny Davis, stuff like this is what you're going to have to get used to if skateboarding ever gets into the Olympics (lets hope this never happens). Ok, so let me get this straight, it was 3:30 AM, he had just won a contest, was leaving a house, and drove an ATV into a gate. If I know one thing, it's that if you're up after three and riding around on something with a motor, you were probably just up to no good. I know, I know, the Park City, or whatever mountain town he was in police department isn't going after him legally, but that doesn't mean there wasn't any partying going on. Take it from my boy Wardo, aka pro surfer, Chris Ward, he'll tell you all about how mountain town people stick together.

I'm not criticizing, I had a mishap a year or so ago, involving an open bar, a bar throw-out, an RV, and a failed bar re-entry attempt. Result; a foot injury, and some time in a cast. The only thing is, I was just in training for the Huntington Beach Tofu Dog Eating Contest, not the Olympics. And look at Mikey Phelps, at least he waited until after the Olympics to get his rage on, and didn't the guy who won the first snowboard event in Olympic history fail a drug test for weed. You know what, I hope they put skateboarding in the Olympics, and surfing. It's going to do nothing but give me material to write about. Trust me, they'll be a fair share of non-performance enhancing scandals.

Please don't take this the wrong way. I hope both these guys make full recoveries, and I know Pearce's injury is serious, and occurred while doing what he was going to be in the Olympics to do, the whole situation sucks.

While on the Emerica tour Andrew Reynolds and Jerry Hsu met up with Jake Phelps who showed them the newest issue of Thrasher magazine. Apparently, you have be really cool to pull off baggy camouflage cargo pants, and the new Braydon Szerfranski Hubba Wheels ad is a classic. Check out the video below:
