Lord Of Griffith ll Sponsor Profile: Hella Tight

I'm super stoked to have Hella Tight sponsor "The Lord of Griffith Two" this year. These hats are the shit. Extremely well made, great designs, mostly based on California Culture. This is the second race Hella Tight has sponsored for us, and it stokes me out that they are very down with what we are doing, I'm proud to rock their caps, and so should you. Come out and win one or order one online. Thanks Josh!

But if not, go support your LBS and pick up some Knog lights, it's the law. Thanks to my brothers from down under for supporting our races!!!

To All Racers, this Thursday race will be held at the Beautiful Echo Parke Lake. We have only raced the lake twice before (2007 All Messenger Race "Echo Park Lake MONSTER" & 2009 All Ladies Race "LAP DANCE"). This year we have again change the name of the course because the style/amount of racing will be different compared to previous years. The course is tight and dangerous so we're going to split the amount of racers into groups. Eventually we will end up with one group (group will consist of winners of initial group races). Races will begin immediately, one after another. Before the final race, final competing racers will have a fair amount of time to rest and drink a red bull or beer, which ever you prefer.

Spectators, please continue to come out. This will be our final Crit for the Summer. We will have a great view from Start/Finish Line (NASCAR Style). I have a feeling, we'll be seeing another great sprint finish.

If LAPigD do happen to show up, please let's be courteous and maintain order!
Keep your beers in paper bags!

D.A.M.P. Contest

D.A.M.P. is looking for a new FGFS team rider and the homie Zlog is helping, he put together this flyer and here is a
link to more deets on the contest. Plus the Frames are built in Sweden, so there is no way I couldn't support this... I really want an Earbread frame. Fucking sick looking. Hey guys at D.A.M.P., I'll be out in Sweden next summer, lets ride.

Lord Of Griffith ll Sponsor Profile: SWRVE

I love SWRVE. I have a pair of their knickers and they probably are the best riding pants I own. Almost everyone who is an everyday rider in LA, owns at least one pair of SWRVE shorts or jeans or knickers. They are really that good. I'm so happy to have them back again as sponsors of the "The Lord of Griffith Two". The best thing about SWRVE (besides good product) is that it's made in DTLA, so you can order online or head DTLA to the cutting room floor to pick up your goods. Thanks guys, you rock!
