Starfuckers pr0n!





Just for Frazier! photo credit: Jason Rosete

A nice night for two wheels...

Volume one:

I went to a record swap/jam last sunday and bought quite a few jams from the 90's/today. I decided to record a mix with one take and to do it all with nothing but vinyl. This is the first time I recorded and i plan on doing more mixes for wonderful bike rides. Let me know what you think, its about 41 minutes of beats, adultery, and cruisin'

Cheers!

Don't Miss This...


This weekend May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Lots of Orlando peeps will be there getting dirty. Come stay all weekend!

Hellcats Sprint Series Round 3 Results

Saturday's race was brutal to watch and I can only imagine what it was like to ride! The distance was about 1/3 mile and for safety reasons the race was against the wind. Big props to Nico and Lisa for coming out and stepping up the competition in the girl's division. They both did great! Hope to see more and more ladies come out and show what they can do. Next month there is talk of the sprints being held in conjunction with Call to Cranks in Ft. Lauderdale. Possibly an event here and Ft. Lauderdale with the best times winning. Once Hood irons out the details i will post more info. so everyone can start planning. Maybe we can take it to the velodrome! Here are the final results. Once Hood calculates the total standings i will edit post with times for everyone who raced. Next time you see Hood give him a high five for making this event happen!

Guys Division
1.Shawn
2.Teddy
3.Anthony

Girls Division
1.Mandy
2.Katie
3.Lisa

Interesting read...

Peep this article on velocake about modifying your rear dropout. I had always thought about trying something like this but I suck at anything that even resembles fabrication...

Dropout Mod.

I also heard the sprints where brutal this weekend! Nothing like riding in to the ever present Florida headwind to work those leg muscles. Corey will be posting the results up shortly...

Fixed Fight 3 Results

As posted by Todd on FLFixed.

------------------------------------------------------------------>

Official Results & Other Info...

Please note that this list reflects those racers that checked in after they finished. If your name is incorrect, please whisper to me the place and correct spelling (as well as if you came in 1st for your city). Last place or “DFL” was awarded as no more racers checked in prior to the awards ceremony. Keeping track of the racers at the finished is one of the hardest parts of any race. For 119 out of 168… I think that’s pretty good.

Short little informational video of a proposed law change being considered in Oregon. The reason it's called the Idaho Stop Law is because it has been the law on record in Idaho for 25 years...

WTF?


Nark Young Spin from Darren on Vimeo.

It happens around the 55 second mark. Simply dope!

Imperial Wolf


Here's a cool LOCAL craftsman that is doing some tough accessories! Imperial Wolf Leather makes all kinds of custom, hand made and hand tooled leather goods, including belts, bags, top tube pads, and head tube shields. The pads are made with snaps instead of velcro and are lined with water-resistant closed-cell neoprene for frame protection. The leather is coated with Dr. Jacksons Weather Resist, so they're pretty tough. Any frame size specification and length is possible. Depending on the size and detail of the design, pads usually range anywhere from $35-$75. Seth can be contacted at www.ImperialWolf.com or ImperialWolfLeather@gmail.com.
Spend your money wisely. Buy Local.

Don't forget...


Rusted Chain Bike Collective will be out at the Audubon Park Community Market at Stardust Coffee Wednesday from 4-9. They will be doing bike tune ups and educating the public about their goals. Come by, say hi, and donate to the cause...
