Best Bareback Video of 2009

Well, guys, I have to qualify my choice for the best bareback video of 2009. I have not viewed the new Treasure Island Media video, which is available through the website but not yet in the stores...I haven't ordered it (as a California resident, it turns out to be more expensive) and the studios don't send me their products. So, I'm considering the latest TIM video as a 2010 release, and believe me, I'm looking forward to seeing a lifetime's worth of cum stuffed up Ian Jay's butt, as much as the next guy. So, having come clean, here it is: the best bareback video of the year was...Ace in the Hole, by The Loadmasters, part of the Dick Wadd empire and directed by...pornstar Rob Rodin. Now I've been an admirer of Rob Rodin since he surfaced in Spunk Video's Bareback Bedroom a few years back. He was based in Kentucky, somewhat off the SF/LA/SD/PS porn map, and he'd turn up now and then, notably in Rob' Bareback Pre Party, where he tried to beat Jeff Palmer's record for taking loads at one of the cuteboybbparties, now sadly, discontinued. Rob didn't break the record, Jeff's is something like 67 loads over a two hour period, (if you can believe that), but we got a great video in the process. Rob is totally buffed out, shaved smooth and is truly versatile, taking loads and giving them with his huge cock. He's totally unaffected (read his blog) and it shows in his work, and I believe he's unaffiliated, although how long that will last is anyone's guess...he relocated to San Diego this year.
Be clear: Rob doesn't appear in this video. The bottom is AJ Rider and he got me right away with his biohazard tattoo...readers of this blog already know of my biohazard fetish. AJ Rider gets worked over by Lito Cruz and a toughed-out Ryan Jamison (one of the best sequences ever is Ryan's pounding Alan Gregory's pozz butt in Bareback Neighborhood), an intriguing guy Rex Valentino whom I hope to see more of, and a bunch of tops that I'm just getting to know...names like Don Dillenger and Ron Slammer I think you get it. AJ Rider has a beautiful rosebud hole that Rob Rodin shoots from every possible angle, gets the shot of cum squeezing out of that rosy asshole, and everything else we want to see...the tops get it down, the lighting and the staging contribute to making this one a keeper...and as in Dick Wadd productions, you get your money's worth..2 hours of hot bareback action. Now try to find it! I got mine in the Castro but not every store has it in stock, so start at the Loadmasters website or the Dick Wadd website. This was a great year for bareback video...the old reliable studios kept up the pace with new hot tops and bottoms, some new schticks, and we got some new players like Frank Stein, Stefan Maverick and Marco Paris...and now Rob Rodin, who's set a new standard for himself. Now we're waiting anxiously for what he comes up with next.
Happy New Year, everybody and get out and support your local gay business community!!
