Here's a little bit of it. You know you're one of my top bros, bro, because you got my back. And I got yours. You're my bro. But you went above and beyond the other night, bromaldehyde. You really did. Saving me that seat at the Velvet Revolver show, even though all those other bros were trying to get up front, bro?

After a long career marked with several failures and image makeovers, Vanilla Ice, aka Robert Van Winkle, has latched on to the Bro Movement. Like Vanilla Ice, I too, have failed you. I should have seen this one coming. All of the signs were there - white boy rapper, tattoo'd action sports fan, strong desire to follow the latest trend. Vanilla Ice is another trophy on...Travisnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25498579.post-25244477046986961942007-04-01T21:28:00.000-07:002007-04-01T21:32:24.847-07:00I was out at the Mojave 250 desert race this weekend when I snapped this pic of "Big Sexy". Flatbillers and 50's go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Unfortunately the article was deemed "Original research", and the Wikipedia admins deleted it a few months ago. I managed to save the article and I moved it over to Dirtopia, where it can exist forever. I think the article could use some work, so feel free to head over to Flatbiller on Dirtopia and improve...Travisnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25498579.post-39448343184695508262007-02-21T07:11:00.000-08:002007-02-21T09:15:34.951-08:00I opened the paper this morning and I couldn't resist posting this.

It's been a long time since we've added any 'billers' to this site, but that's because we've been working on something even better: Dirtopia - The Off-Road Encylopedia - We're using an open website format that anyone can edit to create a list of every off-road trail in the United States.

These pioneers of white-boy rap are walking billboards for their own certified Bro Brand "SRH Clothing". As far as we can tell, most KMK music is centered around getting high and drinking beer.

In his own words... As a cultural refugee originally from Riverside-the eye of the bro hurricane-I know a thing or two about the dreaded Flatbillers. My friend Brian here (who I knew when he was just my friends gawky little brother, the one day, voila, Uber-Bro) takes it to the X-Treeme in just about every facet of his life.

Brandon, one of our loyal fans, sent us this photo of Lightning standing under what is possibly the largest bro-truck on earth. When asked about the truck, Lightning claimed that the truck was not his. "I borrowed the truck from a guy in the 909. I was a joke.

Take, for instance, Ryan and his friends. They threw what he calls "a bro/bro hoe theme party". These brave souls got fully decked out in all of their flatbiller gear and simulated the bro lifestyle for a few hours. They even got together for the "token bro shot", attending to every last detail, all the way...Travisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25498579.post-1147243878862552822006-05-15T00:02:00.000-07:002007-02-21T09:21:29.053-08:00We just couldn't pass up on a bro with "Bro" in his last name, and Jack was happy to be today's Flatbiller. Jack "Kingspade" Brose, as he calls himself, has a MySpace that covers all of the Flatbiller essentials: The Classic Flatbiller F-U Photo --> Flatbiller arrogance: "names Jack Brose and I Race Motocross.

It may seem innocent at first, but some guys can't hold back the Bro after that first experience. This is my ex boyfriend. the first picture is when he thought it was cool to wear a bright neon pink hat from the 99 cent store, with the bill flat up.

That's exactly what Elke wanted when she submitted her very own son for Flatbiller of the Day. "I found out after listening to KROQ about the flatbiller website and when I looked at it I knew it right away. My son Vince is a Bro. He has his jacked up truck with the SoCal logo and Glamis" And the kicker..

Today flatbiller.com is in the hands of Aaron and his blurry friend: My Bro Chris is the biggest Flatbiller poser EVER!! Just look at the tattoos, the bill, and the look.

Here's a flatbiller update from Steve: This is my browski JC and his story: "JC is the king of brodeo" and the creator of this so, called trend of flat billing.

But don't worry, we won't forget all of your little bro friends. Keep 'em coming. While we sort out the mess, take a look at the video below.

In an effort to document this monument to flatbiller consumerism, we are in the process of procuring our very own Flatbiller.com booth! If you make it to the show, be sure to come by and see us.

That means it's time for all of the So-Cal flatbillers to put away the off-road gear and head out to Lake Havasu. Thousands of flatbillers party it up on Lake Havasu Lake Havasu is heaven on earth to flatbillers, even better than Glamis.

Robby Gordon earned this title by taking his 1/2 million dollar race truck out to the Glamis Sand Dunes on every major holiday weekend and jumping it over this one particular double at Oldsmobile Hill. The flatbillers at Glamis go nuts when Robby does this.

Then we found AJ cussing out some anti-flatbillers in the comments of an earlier post. After interviewing AJ, aka "Custom Made", we realized that there are real Hardcore Flatbillers out there.

In an effort to understand bro-brand-building process, we at Flatbiller.com decided to make our own Flatbiller Brand to see if we could make it a success.

He wrote in because he is concerned about the lack of hispanic Flatbillers in his area, so he wants to get the word out that not all flatbillers are white. J.R., as he is known by his friends, says he has been a flatbiller for at least four years, since age 11. When asked why hispanics aren't very interested in flatbilling, he replied "not...Travisnoreply@blogger.com
