Professional Male Model


Well, how do I put this? My name is Derrick Zoolander and I am a professional male model. I want to start a school for people who can’t surf good and want to learn how to surf gooder. Therefore with the help of my colleague and manager Matt Anticivich, he made this life size statue of me surfing. I still believe it needs to be a least 3 times as big.
Ok, all kidding aside about two years ago in the summer I was approached by a friend who asked me to model for him for this surfing statue he was creating. I thought it was cool and excited to help, but I really had no idea the reality of the situation. This past weekend the statue was unveiled and Matt’s masterpiece came to life. What can I say, Matt is a true artist just look at the detail. The statue is right next to PCH (Pacific Coast Hwy) in Encinitas (above San Diego).

"Channel 8 News!" I was a little nervous and by "little" i mean sweating profusely.

Video are up and i went down

So the past week or more has been fairly interesting. I have been working like crazy to get these video’s up and running for my internship.

But as for that thing called “cycling” I have officially donated blood to my mountain. Riding on the fully ridged mountain bike down a fire road… Well as Dane would say “I was just riding along...and” There was this large burnout hole from a stuck vehicle and I though I would put my front wheel in the hole going about 25 mph. (Note the sarcasm)
Turns out it was not a good idea. Rolling like a rag-doll on the compacted dirt I found myself 30+ feet away from where I went down. Confused and oxygen deprived I sat on the ground in shock of what happened. My first thought was that the crash was not fair; I had no idea I was crashing so therefore I was at a disadvantage. I know I know just let me go along with this thought.
Anyway I turned out ok, just shaken up, but in the end the crash left me a week out of riding the bike. If I get any picture I will post it.

Yeah my town is interesting.
