Here is the definition of profane speech at the FCC:

"Profane Broadcast Restrictions: The FCC has defined profanity as “including language so grossly offensive to members of the public who actually hear it as to amount to a nuisance. Like indecency, profane speech is prohibited on broadcast radio and television between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m."

Looks pretty clear to me. If you want to complain, start here:

Throne of bone

Since this my 666 post, I thought it would be fitting to do a write up on my homies black metal band in Seattle.
Throne of bone!!! But Seattle weekly did one this morning.... so I thought I would share that one with you.
What it doesn't tell you, is that the guys are fucking awesome, and some of the best friends a guy could have.
Plus they ride bikes like no other, and are heavily in to bike polo. The lead singer Michael Freiburger, is one the most amazing people on the planet. Those that know him, will agree with me when I say he is unforgettable.... in a good way. I have the pleasure to call him my brother and we share a bond. (due to the fact his bday is the day before mine, my Gemini twin)
I wish nothing but success for this band and if you're ever in Seattle, please go to one of their shows, epic.
Hopefully sometime soon they'll be hitting the road and coming to fucking destroy your city!!!

Who are the guys that are filming this? I watched the first trailer a few months back, and pretty much everyone I know is in it, (nice cameo by Spoonbender) Now in the second one, everyone I know and some more are in it... What's the deets? When is this coming out? What is it?

@Missionworkshop Release "The Rambler"

Mission Workshop has released a nice medium size cargo backpack called “THE RAMBLER” aka the bastard child of their "VANDAL BACKPACK".. These look great, plus MADE IN AMERICA!! I would really love to try one out ;)

The Rambler has one weatherproof external compartment as well as a roll-top compartment that holds up to a 15'' laptop. This roll-top backpack is designed for the urban traveler who lives out of their bag. The Rambler expands from 1,000 cu. in. to 1,800 cu. in. to accommodate additional carrying capacity when needed. This advanced design allows the backpack to expand outward and is held together by side gussets. This expanded central compartment allows the cyclist to carry additional cargo when needed, when not in use the expansion seals flat and disappears.

SPECS

Dimensions - Compact
Measures - 13'' x 17'' x 6''
Volume - 1,000 cu. in.
Dimensions - Expanded
Measures - 13'' x 17'' x 13''
Volume - 1,800 cu. in.
Materials: Urethane Coated Nylon (pvc free)
Load Suspension: LDPE Frame Sheet with Fiberglass Stays
Removable waist strap with optional load bearing waist belt

Debate....

There's a lot debate going on in the fixed gear blog 'o' sphere today (or in the streets). Go on any number of big name blogs to see what the talk is all about. I wanted to throw my two cents in after seeing this on Milano Fixed. I love tricks and have friends who rock at them, but this speaks about what stays true to me and track bikes... Keep Tarcking or keep going fast, just as long as you ride, that's all that really matters!
