Craming / Carving

Howdy.

Congrats to Cory Tepper and Los Tonics for getting video of the day on Pink Bike. I'd award that video with a slightly longer term.

Anyway, some bad news I'm sure everyone who reads this is already aware of. Hugely influential Fit Bike Co. rider, Mike Aitken has suffered a severe head injury.
You can read about his situation here.
I'll have more on this later.

For the moment...
We are going to attend a bike show this week-end. It's called Oregon Manifest, and..well I don't know what to expect. All I know is that we will be running around last minute to get somethings done, and we have a couple nice / new bikes to show off.

Midnight Oil. Not the band. I'm sure I'll be forced to listen to Gordon Lightfoot's Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald about 20 times tonight. If you want to hear some good music, check out Australia's The Black Ryder. They don't have an album out yet, but I listen to this all the time when I'm computin'.


Shiny bits for one of the new bikes. Disco lighting.


Who else made their own drop-outs on a rotary table for this show? Sometimes I wish we could just be like everyone else. But that would be boring.
There's no Tonic without "Toni."


This isn't exactly "news", but this sequence is about one of coolest things I've seen in a while.



Cheers, loud music, fun, fur and card-board.
