  1. I just spent the last hour or so reading all the updates from the weekend. It definitely sucks for Tyler and Levi both. I was surprised he decided to continue. Guess he figures its early enough in he might as well see how it feels.

    I think its still around. I just happened to find those flicks and reposted them. My original photo host decided they didn't like me.

     

    and yeah...you don't have to have a good camera to take good pics. composition, contrast and creativity is what does it for me.

    can't fucking wait.

     

    last I heard....you can't go wrong with the Pista. I think Bianchi even makes a track specific Pista.

    i read an article from cartier-bresson talking about how he dosent even consider photography an artisticly relavent medium and how he just does a lot of sketching now.

     

    the sounds like the very beginnings of photography as an artistic medium all over again. Alfred Stieglitz helped pioneer photography into an accepted "art form".

    it's in seattle this year

     

     

    anyone ever use one of those bike boxes you can buy off an airline at the airport for like $10 ?

     

    !@#$% I doubt I'll be in Seattle...my funds are way too low right now and I've already committed to a couple other trips. I highly recommend shipping your bike out via UPS or FedEx. You can send it to a shop if you don't know anyone out there. Hell of a lot easier than taking it to an airport and carting it around. Plus boxes get the full x-ray now, so theres no lying and calling it something else...figure that in and the $40-$100 fee the airlines charge...and its just not worth it.

  6. kilo....the kickstand has got to go!

     

    My race this past weekend was plagued by mechanicals. My own class lapped me. The only good thing that came out of this race was when I finally fixed the bike and set off again. I jumped back in behind the 8th place guy, but I chased down and passed everybody up till the third place rider. It was nice to know, had I not had all the problems, that I would've been in the hunt.

     

    Found a Bianchi Axis cross bike for $500. Sounds like too good of a deal to pass up.

     

    Anyone have any old race team jerseys they wanna trade?

  7. I've got a race coming up this weekend.

     

    Only 3 1/2 more months till cross season starts! I'm planning on doing some damage.

     

    I've started practicing for RAGBRAI. Drinking lots of beer and riding.

    if your hesitant this is the way to go. fixie is more gangsta and sometimes easier than the single...mainly because you always have momentum via the cranks always turning...but sometimes...you just want to coast.

    hmmm....this reminds me of something...maybe a movie....but I just can't put my finger on it. ha-ha.

     

    sucks you didn't get to do the mavic car ride...I was hoping for some bad-ass pics.

     

    I've started riding on a regular basis again. Not as much as last year, but enough to drop 10 pounds. Kinda freaked me out. Didn't realize I could get that low.

    yo today i had an extra fuuucked up day. i was shitted on by life from many different angles. i was just sour all day and it rained and rained and rained until 6 when i got off work.

    my ride saved me.

    i love riding after it rains. it was foggy, so you feel like you're riding faster than normal. and there's the satisfying hiss of the spray off the back wheel. even though i only clocked 40 miles, i kep the pace at around 20 mph and just pushed the whole way, getting out all of the hurt and shit. i did sprints at the end. i flew over rivers, past cows and goats that saluted me, down hills and now things seem ok and normal again.

     

     

    amen, man. hope shits better today.

     

    I got busted by the only female motorcycle cop in this entire town. Bitch was all business, didn't even let me say a word. Only 14 over, so its a good thing I wasn't going fast. The way she ran to her motorcycle and jumped on it you would have thought I was clockin' 150.

  11. kilo...you and me both man. Soon as my new digi shows up...I'm gonna be a shooting fool. I'm working on getting some girls to let me do nudes. I think the digital will put this on lock.

     

    Love the industrial look...but I can handle warm and fuzzy. Fuck it man...postem up.

  12. bump...

     

    I just picked up a cruiser on the cheap. I bought it with the intention of giving it to someone, but I'm not too sure about that now.
