Some sick art done by Mike Bertino. Check him out HERE.

This weekend I'll poppin' my bike show cherry.

Cause I'm going to NAHBS. I borrowed a friends DSLR so be sure to check back after this weekend for some sick photos. In the mean time here is a legit picture of my current ride.

Samantha's D2 Concept.

My friend Emily wanted to see a girls bike so I headed over to the Fixed Gear Gallery, for the first time in a while. There are two many conversions on there, so I just go on Pedal Room usually. I did manage to find this sick D2 build that was done by a chick named Samantha.

Edit: I don't hate conversions, because there are some very clean ones. I'd just rather look at track bikes.

See the rest of the photos here.

God Rides Brakeless.

Found this at LondonCycling.

Safari London.

Safari London from Rick Symonds on Vimeo.

I was glued to this video as soon as it started. It inspired me to do something, but I don't know what. Take a look for yourself. Peeped this from Vimeo.

Half Cab.

Vans just dropped an orange/lt. blue Half Cab. They look clean and with the Spring weather on its way expect to start seeing some color pop. Check out the full article over at Complex.

Manukau Velodrome, New Zealand from sean wallace on Vimeo.

It's not the raddest/gnarliest but it's shot beautifully. I love the music as well.

Saw on Hipster Nascar and Tracko.

Very Interesting Concept

Making incredible art out of used skate decks, HARVEST by haroshi has been a refreshing take on recycled artwork. Showcasing all of the collective’s work throughout the years, they will be holding an exhibition on February 20th at the PLSMIS Gallery in Tokyo. The show runs through February 27th, 2010

Want, want, want...

These Nike x Nunca Brazil team kit shoes.

Six Collaborations spawned from Nike Sportswear’s desire to celebrate the beautiful game of football in a way that connects to the national team fans who dwell at the intersection of sports and culture. In 2006, Nike collaborated with a group of artists to curate and design environments and spaces that represented their countries, but there was no product connection to this partnerships. This year, Nike worked with established and emerging artists from six countries to create alternative National Team Kits that flip the script on the classic football kit.

NAHBS Feb 26-28

I know it's far for some of you Philly people but if your down for a road trip it's sure to be well worth it. I bought my tickets last week. Anyone want to let me use their awesome camera so I can take awesome pictures please let me know.

Changes.

First, forgive the appearance we're going through some changes. I say "we" cause this is no longer a one man operation. I'd like to welcome Aaron Stathum to the "crew." When Aaron post I'm sure he'll give you a bike check of what he rides and a little about me post. Hopefully, this will allow the blog to take off even more so then it has, since the numbers or readers has far exceeded my expectations. Thanks to all those who read this blog and actually get something from this! Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Edit: And so this isn't such a blah post.

Though there isn't any sick or rad lines in this video, I must admit it has such a nice chill vibe to it.

Clever Heavy Pedal Tee

Saw this over at the Zlog.

I love sales.

Went to the local Urban Outfitters and they were having 1/2 off all clearance. I scored three pairs of vans. Actually more like stole. $10 each. No I did not miss type that.

Finally..

Ordered some wheels for the Pista. I can't wait to ride to the Art Museum. I'll keep you all in the dark about what wheels and tires I am running but as soon as they come I'll put up some pictures. But in the mean time here is Volumes v5 Cutter. The cutter is my favorite trick frame and I can't wait to own one.



Head over to Locked Cog for more.

Beams X Nixon The Wire Headphones

I love headphones. Not just cheap ones, but good headphones. However my Denon ones are pretty blah looking. These Beam x Nixon ones are pretty sick looking even though they are the colorway of my least favorite team, The NY Mets. accessories.
