METAL RACE

Tonight. Brooklyn. Go forth and die!

Master of Death

Today's tagline deserves an explanation. I came out of my bedroom this morning to Nick saying "I lost a brifter last night". The ratcheting mechanism on the rear shifter is indeed non-operational. After objecting to any thought of the 243 going downtown, I had a shower, made up a Bialetti, threw on Dimmu's Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, and helped him lock the rear derailleur in his gear of choice. It's 8:15, and he's now on the way to work with a ghetto two-speed.

Shane Kelly

I cannot wait to see him in two years (when he's 10) and riding a 16" mini.

This one's for Cammy

The future of self propelled transport!

How come no one does any kind of nose bonks in this vid?

Go Team ZOOBOMB!!

So, our Zoobomb brothers and sisters made the trek to Maryhill this past weekend to compete in the IGSA Maryhill Festival of Speed.
Zoobomb. repped. HARD.


Gabe Tiller came in Second behind this guy from Australia.




I've ridden Gabe's G-bike, and the idea of it keeping up with that custom fabbed beast is somewhere between the lines of awesometacular and gnarballs.

I can only imagine how confused the organizers were to have an entire Zoobomb hooligan crew at the finish line!

So Jealous. Good work guys=]

Spotted

This thing was parked outside of Tom's diner this morning.

I'm almost certain I saw it go South through Times Square last night around 10pm. Its pretty unmistakable. The rider was wearing a matching bandana as well, bandito style.

Thats a pretty long front end setup.

Last night I also spotted these two making out for a while while straddling their bikes:


I yelled "GET A TANDEM!" but they were too engrossed to hear me.

No signs of bikesnob yet. Of course, I haven't spent that much time in Williamsburg.. and none of the guys I asked at Peel Sessions last week seemed to know.
