anyone else been seeing MF Doom walking around lately without his mask? haha

no worries man. i just want to ride my bike!!! seems like all of my friends have been having shitty luck this summer. one homie got hit in front of the doug fir and was out for a month, another homie wrecked in some gravel before he went to LA, and now i'm out for a good while. i'm still stoked on the new setup thats been arriving at the shop. B)

the idea was to go fast down hill. i've hit that hill many times. oh well, i'm not stressed on it. just would have been nice for them to stop or something. wasn't trying to get them in trouble. that not how i do. anyway, i got a plate in my jaw and my shits banded shut for the next couple of weeks. hopefully the nerve in my chin gets better though because it always being numb is hella weird. haha. drugs are good though, definitely been keeping my mind off the constant shifting of my teeth. fuckin brutal.

so, on the 4th i was going down interstate heading to the waterfront. like right after passing the kaiser and the adidas complex this couple on separate bikes comes out of nowhere. there were no cars coming our way. they didnt say "on your left" or give any precaution to the fact that they were passing at a high speed. they passed inside the bike lane, which is normally fine if you let people know you are there. then once they get, almost, in front of me they start pushing back into the right of the bike lane. they forced me into the curb and on my next down pedal... BAM! flew and landed completely 100% on my chin. fractured my shit in 2 places. had surgery on monday and shit is fucked for sure. my only thing i hope people will take from this is to let people mashing down hills on fixed gears know you are there. yeah, technically you should have a break, but if people just abide by the courtesy rules of the road everything works out. also, unless you are racing or training for racing, shouldn't you give like a bike length of space before cutting back in front of someone? 6-8 weeks of recovery time and all i can think about is getting back on my bike. the doctors said that the way i landed, a helmet wouldn't have helped because i literally landed right on the bottom of my chin. they said that, which is true for a lot of cyclists, that the muscles surrounding my spine saved my life because they have a larger diameter than my spine and they cushioned a lot of the wreck force that could have made it so i didnt walk out of there. so fuck those people that cut me off. they were a late 20's early 30's couple riding on some silver "vintage" looking 10 speeds, girl was blonde. they had to have swooped onto interstate at that light before you start heading down the hill. see anyone matching this description and ask where they were on the 4th. my buddy waved 'em down and they slowed down but once they saw i was hurt they dipped. have 'em PM me or something. haha. can't stay mad though, everyone does stupid shit. ^and bump petacchi

gonna be building this up here in the next few days/weeks. http://volumebikes.com/frames-thrasher.html not the dent in the seat tube so the wheelbase is shorter and the pinched chainstay tube where it meets the BB (mid size bottom bracket). MmMmMm, tastey! B)

i had a buddy get his fork and front rim ran over the other month [and his wrist] and he just got it repaired a couple of weeks ago... then he ruined his rear wheel. i just need something to hold me over until i can upgrade the cranks. if i knew how to change the bearings i would just invest in a couple of bearings to swap out. having to buy a new external BB seems wasteful, especially when [for me] the bearings wear out so quick. just finished truing my wheels and can't wait to ride again. ^49-16? and then increase as the season progresses? word.

home of the beavers dis'd? fuck that garbage! props to those vibrant MT digs. i dont care if people think imma creep. i just like to think im quick to let people know who i am and what im about. seriously though, fuck that garbage ass bullshit.

^thanks rubbish. yeah, chris king is definitely the ultimate goal. i've been looking into racing track recently. i plan on making it out on a wednesday to learn the etiquette of the velodrome. riding the fog line on the road while mashing just isn't cutting it anymore; neither is running a weak 46-17. too quick to spinout.

does anyone know about FSA gossamer cranks and the compatibility the outboard bottom bracket has with different manufacturers? i've been looking for the FSA megaexo BB all around town(PDX) and want to know if i should just be looking for a compatible BB. the spindle is 24mm. would a SRAM or dura ace outboard work? or does someone have one that is slightly used (no ovalization of the bearing or busted bearings)? PM me with any information or anything. not very keen on the whole outboard BB setup on a fixed but i take what i can get. ceramic would be nice but with the stress of distance rides and city riding, plus the cost,.. i'm debating about hooking the whip up with a bmx drive train. ANY INFORMATION HELPS. ^about the 1x9: is that 1 chainring with 9 cogs in back?

PDX couldn't remember how to post the actual pic. kind of stoked to see it roll through. and yeah, yeah seinfeld show is boss!

SLOE? think i may have seen some throwies a grip ago.

siker is dope

oh yeah... i heard every writer in portland was puerto rican or black and carry midgets on their backs for protection.

fuck portland! did anyone go to that bridgetown hustle shitz last night?

why is fixed riding increasingly going towards street bmx from 5 years ago? as noted before, these guys don't even have properly fitted bikes. it irritates me. i've heard there are now fixed mountain bikes???

question... as far as wall progression goes, i know the whole tag yadi yadi goes. what if a burner is dissed? free game? pm me.

charles manson and party animal... bacon??? ^Alexander was on the news dog!!! Good job, you made LOCAL news.:lol: Finally a Glimpse free street. Where are the Tech pics at?:huh:

whenever i ride with shoes i wear a cheap pair of lake triathlon shoes. one strap. smashed the whole bridge pedal with em. haha. a guy passed me on the st.john's bridge hill and was like "wow, hardcore single speed." at this time, i was like "nah dog, its a fixed" and then got outta the saddle and passed him back up.:lol: :lol: shit is just fun to ride. definitely need to start riding that hill more often, feels good.

fucking bored

someone call the whambulance. quit trying to say "this person is more up" or "this person is biting this person" STFU or GTFO. nobody really gives a shit. people either see it or they dont. "believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see" 2dolr lets fuckin kick it and drink some brew cuddy

the hipster mobile 50000 sounds like a ridiculous endeavor. i ride a fixed almost e'ery day, rain or shine. not going for any look but after riding bmx throughout my childhood and early adulthood, i got tired of "coasting through life". no lie, the whole perpetual motion thing is what got me hooked. seriously though, get a aeroGAY and watch 600 bones go down the drain after hitting a pothole. they dont bend or crack, they shatter. on another tip: i have a 1" TT and wanna get rid of the threaded bullshit i have on right now. cost is an issue. went to a shop and they guy was telling me about some soma track fork but it was like 130 bones. then i'd have to factor in the cost of a new headset, a new stem, and all the fixings that come with that nonsense. does anyone know of any GOOD websites online to find parts. i remember always hitting up danscomp.com and albes.com for BMX part but i have no clue about the "big kid" bikes. oh yeah, hope everyone doing trial riding and whatnot is doing well.

should have gotten closer but...

damn... hopeless hit the red eyes and the glasses with one picture. could people be moving from wanting to be black to wanting to be albino???

seems like this and a few other variations is a popular name. repost? fatty walks in the rain are fun...
