Damn, That Boy Be Skiddin'

In addition to the Sprints (see yesterday's posts) in Nashville this Saturday, there are some good kids in the 'ham hosting a biweekly skid comp starting this very Sunday the 12th! Maybe nobody will break their collarbone this time? How did that heal by-the-way? Anyhow, these are some good guys and it looks like they have their shit together with legit sponsors like Chrome and the anti-christ of LBS's, Cahaba Cycles. I'm not familiar with their other sponsors but they seem pumped and i trust their opinions. Either way, its supposed to be about the riding and i'm sure it will be a good time. Unless of course, you break your collarbone like the guy last year - that seemed more like the opposite of good time. Check out their site for frequent updates and haps.

Yee Haw, Nashville's Havin' A Hoe-Down

Even though they were all too weak to make the big trip to Huntsville for the mess (except Candace, thanks for riding), you should all make the trip to Nashville and pay it forward. They have some solid guys down there that will show you a good time, plus they don't ride so you can put a hurt on them in their own yard. kidding, damn - it'll be a lot of fun for real so get out of town for the day! - just tivo the tour.

Also, I think a lot of people are familiar with them but a lot are not, so if you don't know about Halcyon, pay them a visit while you're there. Here are some recent shots of the store by photographer and cyclist Jonathan Kingsbury

Stuck In The Bama Clay

Didn't he move from Florence to Atlanta, then to Bham, then out to Portland? Where ever you are these days, what up Clay? Good to see you're still out there somewhere. Either way, I totally borrowed the video from Jarrod - wish you could have made it to the race man.

Hold Fast Or Die

I'm always down to support a product that uses Navy jargon and this is actually a cool new product versus a rebranded existing one. Tested by some of the most abusive and gnarly fixed riders around (and endorsed by John Prolly), the new Hold Fast foot retention system is a clever yet simple new design that may fit the bill for many of you out there. With a crazy amount of ankle and foot injuries this year, the HROD system will allow you to have secure non-slip foot placement yet still be able to get out quickly. Plus! No more broken toeclips. One of the things I really like is the quick adjustability so you don't always have to wear the same shoes. The HF FRS's run $55 pr. and you can get them at Hold Fast Or Die or drop them a line: holdfastordie@yahoo.com

did anyone notice that guy is running 38mm's , holy crap!
