Got this from Prolly. Wow, as an Alley cat racer, you can whatever you please to get to the finish, but trying to take out a fellow racer is just crazy and fucked up. While I wasn't there, (but would love to race this race) I'm not passing judgement on either party, just watch and judge for yourself. Other then that, what a fucking awesome video.
What a weekend. Holy crap. I'm dead tired. So much fun, so much good riding, here's and edit from Andrew. Nice work. The trick was sick, riders were really throwing themselves around and breaking out some big moves. Fakie wheelie from Steven Jensen, Wonka's insane wallride, huge 180's from Jakob. Wonka won the jam, good job! Tony Z won the race! My legs hurt so bad from the race yesterday. Thanks to LAB for an awesome weekend, Chubby Boob, Tracko and big props to Ace for throwing an amazing race. I haven't race in more then a few months, and that was probably the best way to get me back into it. So hard. Everyone just looked defeated afterwards. It was a three mile climb up Mt. Hollywood, then a three mile descent down the backside, (crazy bombing skills were needed or a brake) then a three lap, four mile a lap crit, (a mile or so of climbing) ugh. I would be posting pics but I left my camera cord at home. Sad. I'm gonna write a more in depth post, once I get my pics downloaded. I'm sure the blog'o'sphere is going right now with pics and videos from the whole weekend, so I'm really not in a rush, but look for that.
It my 1000th post. Wow. Big thanks to my man Joe, for without him there be no TOLA! I'm really hype as what we have been doing and what we will be doing. Look for some big changes to the blog, coming soon! But, most of all, a really big thanks goes out to you guys, for supporting us, by reading our little blog and coming out to our events. Big shit is on the way, so get ready. TOLA!
I saw this over at Prolly's jam. Fucking awesome, Scott is a very good friend of my family and it just so happens to be his Birthday today! Happy Bday, Scotty!!!!
Alright, What can I say about last night? Wild. Best turn out yet! Great course. Big props to Ash (happy bday), Boo-boo and Pork for holding it down. Pork you get the bonus props for cleaning the course hours before the race started. Nice work guys! I promise to race the last few of the series, I don't know what i wrong with me... Anyways.. To this photo and the winner. (blurry I know, but I had to snap it fast) When you see JTR roll up, on his road bike, with his track bike strapped to his back, you know he's in it to win both races. While this was fucking awesome and the best entrance to a race I have seen, the racers (road and fixed) kind of collectively groaned at this sight. He stomped both races, back to back. What a beast. Congrats JTR!
Happy Birthday my friend. Hope, it's a good one!!! If you don't know Ace, you should. One my best doods, in LA. Very talented on and off the bike. If he was working, I would say go to O20 and give him some love, but if you see him in the streets today, tell him I love him.
Today the bicycle is mainly known as a recreational vehicle and is enjoyed by people in every corner of the world. But at its outset, this controversial machine forged roads into society that revolutionized politics, fashion, and social policy as well as paved the way for the mechanized world of motion to come. Victorian Cycles, Wheels of Change is a fascinating documentary about the bicycles coming of age and its tremendous impact on society. It is filled with images of a by-gone era, and the people who embraced its change.
