Ive never owned anything with disk brakes. Hell, Ive barely owned anything with shifters, let alone a bike with the bells and whistles displayed here.
Absolute magic, and the custom bike stand that was used for this shot came in handy just after Colina took the photo.
Wherever he is, James Brown is proud.

You know winters a-comin.
Are you ready? Are you ready for this?
I suspect that one guy named Rich from Sacramento is gonna be there and tear everybody's legs off. If you know who Im talking about, then you know who Im talking about.

I think some more people should see this.
 
Mike Day hot lapping the Beijing BMX track. Absolutely amazing .
 
The jump over the womens's berm is 32 feet long."

That clip is pure poetry, man. Mike Day is a machine.

When transportation engineers get ahold of a bunch of bad acid and go to work, chaos can ensue.

In other news, when Obama turned into robot, everyone was speechless, but then when he turned into a truck, thats when jaws dropped.

Did the weekend hold some good stuff for everyone? Life in these parts was none too shabby. El Corpo did some yard work, Sky and Erin went hang gliding, the myriad of interns organized the offices pencils, and I taught myself how to salsa dance.
Really, for all intensive purposes, it was business as usual.

So down there in Atlanta, the bike scene is breaking loose. Firstly, our friends at NoBrakes are throwing this shindig on.

and then theres this one for your approval. The Faster Moustache Race is gonna be HUGE. And you know how we feel about anything related to moustaches....

And speaking of moustaches, Vegas is creeping upon us ever so slowly, and I emphasize the word 'creeping'. What kinds of hijinx might ensue? Squid will prolly be there with his ready-made alley cat master plan, that guy from S&M might want a rematch with Sov, (I tried to find a blurb about that one as I know Ive seen it somewhere before, but alas, I couldnt. Its probably for the best anyhow.) The Evil Pixie and The Bear are gonna be ghosts, so theres four fewer breasts Ill see, and thousands of voices will be lost to the heavens.
You know, I cant figure why, but Im actually kindof looking forward to going back this year.
Mostly I suspect that its cause our beloved Swobos going to have its first official presence at the show in, what, seven years? The last time we were all there together, we held a wake for the little company that couldnt. This year is gonna be different. This year is gonna be good because we could, and we did.
Maybe Big Dave might even make an appearance.
One bottle of Budweiser, please Dave.

Hey, dig these cool beans. Looks like Hurls got himself some spanky new graphics. The boy serves up a mean cup of joe to boot.
Slip it in and slip one out.

And finally in a burst of nether here nor thereness, I offer this.
Sprawl is good and trails are bad, mmmmmkay?

The only thing I like about Monday is that Wednesday is only two days away, and Fridays just a stones throw from there.
...And heres to some good memories. Happy Monday everyone....
