The Young Bloods


Alright, so here's a heads up for a race the day before "The Lord of Griffith ll". This is for the Young guys that are coming out to ever race, and are really starting to come into their own. At a time, when a lot kids are turing towards FGFS, (not there is anything wrong with that) there's a movement in the streets of East LA of guys who just want to go fast and race in the streets. It's awesome. So we teamed up with DTLA's Finest, to throw a 20 an under race. It ends with a BBQ for these guys, so please come out and show your support to these young guys. In less then a few years, they are gonna be your competition, so you might as well get to them now. Juan here at TOLA! came up with the course and we're donating some prizes to the cause. Come out and support.

Here's the deets from DTLA'S Finest and I'll update next week as it gets closer.

LABP/TRKO Cooking Cap


Tracko and The Los Angeles Burrito Project has teamed up to produce a series of hats!!! Fuck yes, this something I can get behind.
Todd (pictured, handsome, ain't he?) really deserves a huge round of applause for his work with LABP. Thanks dude, you rock. He's a pretty rad guy, as well. So, all of you, should go and order one of these hats, for all the money goes back to the LABP, they need your support.


This is awesome, good work Kyle, I'm impressed.

Week ll


Chrome is building a New shop. Where is it? Nobody knows... My guess is Seattle or New York. What do you think?

Lord Of Griffith ll Sponsor Profile: Freedom Bicycle: ThickSlicks



We're super exicted to have a Freedom Bicycle as a tire sponsor this year. The winner of this race will most deffinitly need a new one after this monster race. Thickslicks, are amazing, a few of us have been running for quite sometime, Kyle at O20, turned us on to them a few months ago. They're the best skidding tire, I've rocked in minute. Nice and grippy, rolls smoothly, skids are super good, kind of great mix of between a Rando and Everware. If you can't win one, go cop one at your LBS, plus they have an amazing price point, $18-30, and that can't be beat.




Go to Tracko and read his take on the tires! Thanks Dude!
