Crew Weekend

On Saturday we braved the pissy weather for the 5th round of the supercross season in San Diego's dilapidated Qualcomm stadium.
There was some good racing & I have to say not having a dominant rider winning every night has been fun to watch & we only got rained on for a few minuets.
Big football day was a fry fest that got out of control.
200 hot wings, a few pounds of potato's, pepperoni, Scottish eggs, cheese sticks, twinkies, oreo's & a bunch of other random edibles that after a ton of beer someone thought might taste good.
Great Times, I'm grateful for amazing friends.

CYC Pikes Peak Descent * Part I

I don't know what made me think of this yesterday but as a kid & for whatever reason this article had an impact on me.
The short of it is this. 1978 two Colorado Springs high school juniors send a letter to BMXA explaining they are going to descend Pikes Peak backpacking trails on BMX bikes.
BMXA loves the idea, commits to a two part article (oct-nov/dec issues) and sets the kids up with a bike sponsor, CYC MX.
CYC even went as far as building a couple custom frames complete with sprocket guards.
(the first bashguard bikes)
Part one is the building and testing of the two bikes by the BMXA test team.
Part two is the actual ride.
After revisiting this I think I was just stoked that two kids far from the magazine scene pulled this off, had a cool adventure and got a couple free bikes out of the deal.

Dino!

Dino is one of my interweb buddies from a land far far away.
Dino is in the process of final assembly of his 52 Vespa-Faro Brasso.
I've never been much of a vespa guy but every project Dino gets into turns out really nice with a touch of class that others often overlook.

I'm looking forward to your SR500 Dino.
