Friendly Pauls got jazz hands.

Recently, Erin the sales maven and Sky have been very busy doing dealer visits. They have obviously become quite adept at the jet-set lifestyle, and look absolutely smashing as they travel to and fro spreading the good word of Swobo.

A year ago, my dad and I traveled back to his old stomping grounds of South East Missouri and Arkansas. During our travels, we stopped by the graveyard in which my grandparents, as well as my great grandparents are buried. While walking across the grounds, I came across this tombstone and thought to myself, "Yep. That about sums it up"

Regarding the Wisconsin State Championship Race that happened on Saturday, Devin blessed us with some words and photos;

"It was a blue bird morning in the valley of the Mississippi and we could not have asked for more.. There had been a lot of hype around this race and we were looking froward to what some were calling a riot.. 20+ on the line to start with a short up and down run in to a prologue lap.. On the run, the race was decided and the Brothers were gone.. The local fav, The Josh sat in third and yours truly in 5th- the race was on for the rest of us.. With the Brothers going hard off the front, the rest of chased. These trails here in LaCrosse are all hand built and a lot of time and thought have gone in to them, and this was the first formal race ever held there. Let me say they did not let us down. The uphill log crossing was a hit with a prime for clearing them and more if you could bunny hop them. On the other side of the of the trails, Shimano had a count the monkey contest and you could win a pair of carbon cranks..

At the end of the race it was Creepy Friendly and the Darkness in second, and our boy The Josh in Third.. Myself I started having a issue with my cranks so I sat up a bit and finished in 6th. Great race, great turn out.. Awesome to see so many single and everyone throwing down..

Oh yeah- ran in to this sweet Steve Garro made bike.. nice looking stuff. We all have a year to give it another go for the state title.."

It sounds like an absolute blast, and we are truly filled with pangs of various forms of jealousy. Theres not much that we enjoy more then racing bikes and counting monkeys.

And here we have some crafty kids....

We dont know what theyre selling, but we want it.

This shots been making the rounds as of late, and we figured wed throw it up too. Human beings never cease to bewilder and amaze.

Now everybody pay attention...walkings bad, mmmmmkay?

And finally, in your free time, like right about now, go pay New York Bike Snob a visit. First I laughed, and then I cried. Damn funny stuff.
