Sacramento Screenings of The Revival and London To Paris



If you're gonna be in Sac-town, be sure to go see these, after you compete in the trick-cat (i like that name hope it sticks)!


I do need to get something off my chest...
It seems every city in California has had a screening for both of these. Expect Los Angeles. Why is that? We were in contact briefly with the folks over at London to Paris, we had a race lined up before the showing. It fell through.(no fault here at TOLA!) I'm putting it out there, who do we here at TOLA! need to talk to get the both of these movies show in LA? We will get the job done. I really want these to come here, and I think LA has a large enough Bike community, to demand that these be shown here.

Classic Hip Hop of the Day!


Stetsasonic "Talkin All That Jazz". Hailing from Brooklyn Stetsasonic was one of the first hip hop acts to use a live band. Positive vibe, classic sound. Ironically, Frukwan and Prince Paul went on to form the group Gravediggaz, a not so "positive sounding act", but still just as classic.

Vans Vault Spring 2010 Native American Binding


A very solid new silhouette is coming from the Vans Vault Spring 2010 Collection – the Native American Binding. The high top sneaker looks similar to the Sk8 Hi, but features some nice other details. Aside from the leather toe cap, the sneaker also comes with a tonal Vans logo tag on the side-panels. For Spring 2010 it comes in three tonal colorways, made of premium suede leather on the upper. Look out for a release early 2010.

With their Vault Collection, Vans offers such simple, yet highly detailed footwear, that one sometimes asks for the need of high fashion sneakers, which pretty much look the same, yet come in at much higher prices.
