Yeah, neither had we, but you should check it out. In reality the main purpose is probably just as a marketing tool for Ronix, but it still has some original thoughts from the author, as well as some great pictures taken while Chad is out and about shooting with his buddies.

It’s pretty cool to get updates directly from someone as influential as Chad, especially when he’s got guys like Danny Harf, Erik Ruck and Jeff McKee, among others stopping for for an impromptu set.

Basically, it boils down to the fact that you should add Chad’s blog to your list of places to check out.
