TFZ, Axeman, and Bruce Lee Ninjabros Campfest 2007, with pics and vids!

[The Fire]

Just this past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting up with Axe and Bruce in Ohio for a weekend of camping, partying, eating, partying, kyaking, partying and more partying. We were at the Mohican Reservation campground and had a site right on the water - pimp.

We met up about 4pm on Friday and started setting camp. Here are Bruce and Axe working to get Bruce's tent up after they set up Axe's Pittsburg Steelers themed tent:

[The Fire]

After camp was all set up, we rewarded ourselves with some beers, some shots and of course, some herbal treatments. Here is a vid of Bruce twisting up the innagural joint that also shows our site after it was pretty much set up:



He talked a lot of smack about his j rolling skills, and while they were good, mine were better this day - and I really didn't even have my "A" game. I did not record it, since I was too busy rolling it, but the Axeman will confirm that I was the winner - see how honest he looks:




The blue tarp in the background worked as our grappling mat. After a couple rounds of shots, beers, and doobies, I was ready to demonstrate some techniques and Bruce was kind enough to assist me. After showing how to defend a double leg takedown and transition into a rolling omaplata, along with a couple of other subs and sweeps, Bruce was ready to do some real battle. After a brief standing exchange, I decided it would be best to get inside Bruce's ample reach (the man is 6"4 and in pretty damn good shape) I shot for the double...and got stuffed. I pulled guard as Bruce made the mistake of going for a guillotine before securing position and threw up an armbar attempt which he defended nicely and then went for the pass...right into my triangle. First match goes to TFZ, 45 seconds of the very first round by way of submission - Triangle Choke.

Rolling and drinking and smoking and setting up camp is hard work. In order to keep a Ninjabro's strength up, we needed MEAT. A couple of racks of baby back ribs grilled up by yours truly did the trick quite nicely if I do say so myself.



This was the first foray into a night of mass meat comsumption. A couple of hours, joints, shot and beers later, Bruce busted out with the super quality straight from the butcher sirloin burgers and gourmet hot dogs. Here we are photographed by one of the young ninjabros in training who smelled all the good stuff coming from our site and came over to party - Bruce is housing the young man's pipe:



Note the scuffed knees on Bruce. No, these did not come from him having to pleasure me after I choked him out, but from his second chance at redemption. With the bitter taste of defeat still fresh in his mouth, Bruce manned up and challanged me again - and again my takedown was thwarted. Though the man does not train, he learns fast, and when I went to pull guard again, he immediately went for the pass. I was a bit too lazy and overconfident so I gave him my back, thinking I would just roll away and back into guard, but damn it if the man did not get his hooks in and roll me over! For the next couple of minutes I alternately tried to shake him free or prevent him from sinking the RNC. At one point when reaching down to dislodge one of his hooks, he actually trapped my arm ala BJ vs. Hughes I and got his forearm under my chin! Fortunately I was able to peel his bicep (sorry about the bruise there Bruce) away to stay concious long enough to free my other arm and escape the choke. I felt his spirit wither and die as soon as his last gasp effort failed and I immediately reversed back into guard and passed - the exhausted, but well aqquited Bruce was tapping as soon as I had the arm triangle choke locked in. Damn fine effort for a novice though.

Up bright and early at 8:30 am or so, we immediately set to getting some baking with our waking. With a long 23 miles on the river ahead of us, were were going to need "a country breakfast that would make Matt Hughes hard' as Bruce said - and made. One of the best damn camp breakfasts I ever had.

[The Fire]

After finishing breakfast and couple more fat ass joints, we realized the bus was leaving in 10 minutes and booked our asses to the other end of the campsite and squeezed our way onto the bus. We knew were were in for it when 50 people all got off at the first stop and it was us and one couple who were doing the 23 mile trip...we're not sure if they made it back before nightfall, but chances are they did not stop as often as we did. We rolled a handfull of cannons and had to stop to smoke 'em. Here is some video and some pics of our first stop:






I got a little captain in me:


Did you just smoke a joint or something Bruce? Damn nigga, you look hiiiiigh.

[The Fire]

River action shots - anybody beginning to notice a theme to Axe's pictures?




That is a nice necklace you have, there Bruce:

[The Fire]

Some of the best action on the river was all the canoes and kyaks going over - I cannot even guess how many people we rescued. Here are Axe and Bruce in action...and me cracking the fuck up:



I guess I should not have laughed too hard - after all, each of us tipped AT LEAST once - here is a bemused and WET Axeman after his first wreck:

[The Fire]

Oh yes, I wrecked as well - don't try to stand up and piss off of your kyaks kids at home, it is even more difficult than it sounds and you wind up wet and in the river making a Phil Baroni face without the roided up physique:

[The Fire]

Bruce flipped once because he was trying to prevent me from passing him and was concentrating a little too much on rowing fast and not enough on staying upright. Fortunately we made some quick friends on the river bank who let us warm up by the fire:



Remind me to tell you guys how he wrecked the next time - that story almost deserves it's own thread.

Later, we returned the good deed and kept karma alive by rescuing some water travelers who were almost done in by a rock:



We actually had these little chicks calling themselves 'future Milfs" and yelling shit about Ninjashoes.net (or .com like my stoned ass kept saying) on the other video but it is too long for me to upload it to photobucket. Just as well, I don't know that the chicks ass I kept zooming in on was of age so it is best to jsut let that one go...though it would have made a nice training video for Jason, Ninja and the rest of the forum virgins.

[The Fire]

All in all a really good fucking time guys. We ate, drank, smoked and lived like camping kings - the only part of the trip that was not fun was trying to stifle the urge to vomit when having to use the campsite outhouse - horrific.

We are going to do this shit again, and we are going to do it this year - more of you bitches need to come along...if for no other reason than to taste my 3am hobo pie creations - Bruce and Axe will tell you how fucking good those were.

Bruce had some really good shit and we smoked a TON of it - about a half ounce in 2 days between 3 of us. Add to that the 3 cases of beer, bottle of jager and xanax and we were skiied the whole time. I wish you could have been there too bro - though rolling on a blue tarp over rocks and tree roots is not the way you and I need to have our first match.

[The Fire]
