8th Gen: Walking in two worlds

A good friend of mine turned me on to these last night. Thanks Matt Lord! All of us as cyclist's are alway looking out for ways to customize our bikes, clothes, hats, helmets, and bags. So we can stand out or have a topic of conversation when we run into each other. These shoes are no different. One off designs from 8th Gen. The solo designer of these shoes is Louie Gong. I really love the work on these. It speaks to the Alaskan in me, and reminds me of a lot of Artist friends from AK and the NW. Plus they're put on Vans, (which are a staple in a Cyclist's life) Now some of might say the price point is a bit high, but you get a one off design, never to be used again on another shoe, and really most high-end sneakers coming out these days start at around $150 on up. I don't think I would ride in these, but bring these custom heaters out after a race or to an event.

Deets on ordering here...

FREE KUTMAH

Kutmah was born in the UK to an Egyptian mother and Scottish father. He moved to the US with
his mother when he was 12 years old. They immediately applied for residency to keep them from being sent to
Egypt. As a British citizen the court ruled that he would be able to live in the UK which in their eyes
wasn't such a bad place. They denied their application.

Kutmah and his Mom returned to court to plead their case 14 years ago when Kutmah was 20. They were again
denied a green card and were urged to sign a document stating they would voluntary leave the US.

On Wednesday morning, May 5th armed agents entered Kutmah's house and detained him. He was brought to a
facility in downtown LA where he was interrogated. On Thursday he was moved to New Mexico. We need to show
how important Kutmah is to the LA and US community. Please write a letter and spread the word!

One of us.

What can I say... I'm really proud of my homie, Lil' Hern. He has won more races in LA in the last few years then anyone. (Fuckin lil' shit) I've had him pass me up more then once... Now, it's really paying off for him. Got the hookup from the big dogg in the Track bike street game, MASHSF (amongst other sponsors). We all need to step our game up and shut this fucker down. (I kid, I kid) Good job Hern, continue to win and go faster! I see big things for this little dude. Congrats, my friend. You really deserve it!

Hooray for LA Riders!!!

This weekend in LBC

Wow, this looks like an awesome weekend of events in the LBC. I'll be riding to Long Beach this weekend for a my Girlfriend's Family's Mothers day BBQ, so I'm swing through and check this out. I know the main draw for most you will be the "Fixed Gear Fest" but remember to go see the rest of the bike events, to show that we're all apart of a larger community and we just love bikes! This is making me very excited for the "Tour of Cali" which has a time trial in DTLA (May 22nd). That same weekend, Lil Hern (congrats getting picked up by MASH homie!) is throwing a street race (a MASH race) for all of us dirtbags. Keep your eyes out for that one.
