Fixin' To Die Trailer : NSFW

So I spoke to Ronnie who's up in Philly, and he's putting together a freestyle fixed feature. He's a former Orlando native, and this video might be the rawest fixed video I've seen to date, so show some love. The style is tough guy as hell, it reminds me of the "Banned in Orlando" BMX bangers from back when. There is some questionable subject matter so for those of you who are easily offended, You've been warned.

Fixin' To Die Trailer from EndlessScummer on Vimeo.

Here is the info I got:
The video is going to be 5 bucks shipped, a blank dvd in a sleeve. We are also going to be doing freeshirts with the first 20 preorders with a design drawn by cavan (who's an amazing artist). We are going to premiere it at Sharkweek on june 27th. Gonna have parts from Tom Lamarche, me (Ronnie), Mike Shark and Soap.

These guys are obviously hyping something they love. $5 SHIPPED! That's still crazy to me. Ronnie is doing good work up north. As a filmmaker myself, it's empowering to see this much passion. Show some support and check it out, along with some more stills from filming.

Florida...Please get this cool,very soon.

Bike Porn 3

I got forwarded this from my friend Mooj. It looks really interesting and there is mention of an underwear ride and some kind of magical dance party afterward. It seems like it might be a bit racy, so if you're of the faint of hart or easily offended, this might not be your cup of tea. For the rest of you freaks like me, here's the info as I received it.

place: stardust
time: 8pm
cost: $5
date: friday march 19th

Amateur Bicycle Erotica

Bike Porn 3: Cycle Bound is a collection of short erotic films from
various artists. It is fun, smart and aware!

Here's how one of our interns put it:

Bike Porn is civic
Current political policies are designed to repress sexual expression and transportation choice. The Bike Porn film festival challenges that trend by enthusiastically displaying the quality of creative expression and the amount of fun inherent to both bicycling and sex. Both activities are worthy elements of a healthy lifestyle and a pleasant quality of life. - Jeffrey Jacobson

What we are talking about is an LBGT and hetero friendly program of progressive bike sexuality.

Afterwards get ready for an underwear ride! ending at a mystery dance party!

Ace Metric has Moved

Many of you have heard about the relocation of Ace Metric and now it's a done deal. We're open for business in the new location and we're really stoked on the space and the location itself. Come and check us out at 1018 N. Mills Ave (directly next door to Uncle Lou's).

*We'll be throwing a Grand Reopening Party on Sunday, March 28th- more details to come.

F I X E D F I G H T F O U R!!!

Some race info…
- Ten second head start to those wearing a helmet.

- The race will consist of six checkpoints that can be completed in any order.

- The first person to reach one of the six checkpoints will receive a cash prize at the end.
- Only one cash prize per person. Meaning that if you were first to every checkpoint you would still only get one prize.
- You’ll be given a marking to show you were first at the checkpoint so that the others will know.

- No tasks will be required at the checkpoints (except maybe having to get off your bike to get to the volunteer).

- Staying true to Fixed Fight races in the past, this will be semi-long and super-fast.

- A few prizes will be randomly awarded before the start of the race (more details day of).

- There will be a trick contest after the race. You must register (pay $5) if you didn’t already do so for the race.

- Depending on time and prizes, there will also be a few games of foot down.
- This gives the trick and race challenged attendants a chance at winning something.

- PBR will start flowing after the race. There will be a limited supply and will be offered to those 21+ while it lasts.

A few notes…
- Café Bohemia had their best day of business EVER at last year’s Fixed Fight. I’d appreciate everyone’s support again this year. They’re opening up their business to us and the least we can do is buy specially priced food and/or beer while there. Vegan, Vegetarian, and Carnivorous friendly menu available.

- Awards will be given to top finishers on fixed gear bikes. If you came in first on a multi-geared or freewheel single speed you will not be considered for a top place finish. This is FIXED Fight and you will be awarded as such. Brakes are fine and in most cases encouraged. All bikes are welcome and even those non-fixed bikes have a chance at other prizes.

- The HorroH.com/alleycat website will soon be updated with all of this info.

- Last year we came within a few people of having 200 registered racers. Get out to the race and spread that flier so we can exceed 200 this year!!!

- Above all else, be safe during the event. Extreme recklessness that puts you, another racer, or anyone else in harm’s way will get you immediately tossed from the race.

RVA TRICK JAM EDIT FROM RVAFIXED

Here is the first video from the jam that Antimo, Jeremy, Summer, and I drove up to Richmond, Va for. The weekend was a total success and we all had a blast. Big tricks were thrown down and even lit a fire under my own ass. A big thank you and "+1" to all the sponsors, coordinators(mike, phil, trick track) for all the crazy antics that went down as well as the sweet prizes i went home with. For some reason this video has no sound but put your own jams to it and BAM!

Stay tuned for what is looking like to be a sought after, crisp and fresh "407inRVA" edit that our wonderful Antimo Ponticello is putting together, as well as a write up on the whole weekend.

respect my authority

This was all about making an example out of someone and not about enforcing the law. Especially telling is how he continued to selectively pick out laws and throw out threats of arrest in order to get the camera guy to shut up and stop questioning. A great example of why no one wants to step up and work with OPD on the CM ride...
