Smash for Cash/ Fixie Fest: Recap

This past Saturday, an event was held. Fixie Fest and the Smash for Cash Alleycat. Since I was racing, I really didn't take too many photos, but got some good ones of the top three finishers. Team Chubby Boob podium Sandwich with a MASH filling! It was a super fun race, once it started... The ending prizes and other things were kind of the fail part of the day. First, the race took well over three hours to get started. Checkpoint volunteers bagged out on their duties, manifests weren't done, and maybe the organizers wanted more people to show up. Once it got started it was fun and fast. A solid group of us pace lined for the first five miles or so, then of course we got split up, and it was ever man for himself. First checkpoint, top of La Brea, in the deep south. Second checkpoint, Pan pacific park. Third Checkpoint, Top of Angels point, Elysian park. Then back to the start/end at Graf Lab, Venice/ Union for about a total of 25 miles or more depending on route. Riccardo won 1st place/ 1st roadie and was supposed to get $100, didn't happen. Hern came in 2nd overall/ 1st fixed and was supposed to get $250, didn't happen. I came in 3rd place overall/ 2nd fixed and got a t-shirt (lulz). Originally, the winners of the road and fixed category were told (by flyer and internet posts) the winnings were gonna be $400 dollars each ($25 dollar entry fee, knocked down to $10) with 2nd place in each of those categories getting $100 each. Non of that happened, and thats pretty weak, if you're gonna bill cash prizes as winnings on flyers and posts you should be able to back that up. I don't know why the cash didn't come through and there was no explantion, and really it just left a poor taste in our mouths as racers and as organizers of our own events (we would never let this happen). This was supposed to be a "fixed gear" event, with things based around bikes. In the end it just felt like a group of people trying capitalize on bike (fixie) culture without having any clue on how to throw a successful bike event. It was a hip hop show, that just happened to have a bike race. That's what it should have been billed as. I had a great time racing, big thanks to Kevin H. for throwing a race under such strain! In the end, it was all about street cred for the prizes, I'm happy with that, HA, Holla!

Riccardo winning his first street race under TeaM Chubby Boob! Welcome to the team!

Hern 2nd overall/ 1st fixed on his new Cinelli Mash. Good shit.

Sean (me) Gettin 3rd overall/ 2nd fixed on that Yung Affinty street machine.

Orange 20: Halloween Trick Or Treat Race and Halloween Block Party

Los Angeles Halloween Alleycat! Hooray!!! Hosted by our boy Robert. It's his first time throwing a race and he has been working hard on this one. Going around asking all of us with event throwing experience for advice, soaking in what we had to say and I think it's gonna be a good one. Super fun and maybe a little hard, just something to get everyone back in the mode of fun street races. Don't always have to be so serious. Plus, it ends at the O20 Halloween Block party! Vendors, games, candy, beer and good old halloween fun. Sunday is gonna be the jam, so come out and race or support! See you there!

Forazter: Rawdents 2011

Our friends at Forazter laced a few of us from Chubby Boob with their new fall line of T-shirts. Forazter is out of Riverside, CA (Chubby Boob Homeland), so anytime there is an event involving either one of the companies, both squads show up to show support. Safety in Numbers. Ha! Really though, it's nice to have support from fellow companies, both trying to make it the best way we can. Thanks to Forazter for the shirts, I'll rock them with pride.
