Project Hucker, The History…
The Beginning
The legend of "The Hucker" begins when I found this old bike frame in my back yard. It was among a graveyard of other bikes and bike parts and had managed to evade my attention for a full 6 months before I took notice. It had been painted by some previous owner with cheap silver spray paint, and most of its components no longer functioned. Me being the ambitious guy I am and having some friends with the skill in bike repair decided to rehabilitate this wonderful machine into its full glory.
The Middle
After about 30 hours of sanding, painting, and general tweaking, the beast gained its "OG" styling and attitude with a new black paint job complete with caramel latte rims and chain wheel. We also took the liberty of installing a new Odyssey G3 Gyro brake line kit to help him stop. The wheels and crank shaft were all rebuilt; every single bearing repacked. The Hucker gained its right to performance and gained in local fame.
The End (or is it)...
After a blown tire, I decided it was time to kick The Hucker's potential up a notch and outfit him with some truly high performance equipment. I got on my favorite BMX eStore (danscomp.com) and found all the right parts. Koolstop Eagle 2 brake pads, animal gold grips, DK Park gold aluminum pegs, a KMC gold chain, and some gold crown valve caps to top it off. The Hucker became The Legend.
Long live The Hucker!

I’m here!
After some thought about how I could better market my business as well as myself
and my talents, I decided to go ahead and try this blog nonsense out.
I launched my eStore @ impactyourwalls.com a little over a month ago and have been busy
doing my best to market and bring traffic there. It's been a rough learning curve and has
welcomed plenty of stress into my life, but I've kept a long term perspective and keep
working at it. When school starts up, if I can turn this into a steady/reliable income
it will have been worth all the stress I put myself through to get to that point.
Other than work, I'm just playing as much as I can find time to do. I've recently gotten myself
into BMX Freestyle riding. It's been fun working on my bike "The Hucker" with friends
and having a hobby that gets me out of the house and helps me stay a little in shape.
So this is my life as stands now. Working to fulfill ambitions and burn all the would be boring
moments in-between.
