wow what a weird sunday

weird stuff is goin on, i sleep all day then up all night. i have to get up at 7am go to draper and race the green lantern, bz, team rico and many others. i wonder if climb-um is coming

i had slice in my tire so i tried to fix it. the stans sealed it partially but i didnt trust it so i tried to seal up a different tire with some C02 cans, that didnt work so i drove around to 5 gas stations and those air compressors suck balls so that didnt work.

while i was out over at the wild oats mall i saw butta on the vespa and lucky he lives next to contender cuz he let me in to use a real air hose. got that tire aired up, then the pink guy walks by. 5 mins later i leave the shop and i see him walkin over by trolley. so i tracked, stalked, what ever you want to call it to his house. i found his pink house and tomorrow im going to go over there and interview him.

this next week im going to post interviews of some random friends i have so why not start with ATRAIN, ALI G, THE CLAW AND FLAHUTE.

ya check it out, pics and 5 lame questions for the guys you may want to know more about.

dark side bike racers, crossers, bike geeks and weirdos just like me.

stay tuned more to come this week.
yaaa . i have to go fix my bike.

atrain

i met atrain when i was 14, i worked him over in some mtn bike races and ever since then he has tried to keep up.


1 whats the dream job
2 why ride race or shred
3 whats on the other side of life
4 whats the trains philosophy on dating or finding that some one special
5 whats the perfect day



1. If I knew I would have it. I do have a long list of life sucking, go nowhere, jobs that pay enough to fool me into thinking it is worth it.

2. So I can eat more fish taco's and Peppermint Patties
3. A world where tall skinny men are worshiped as gods. It has to be....
4. Like them and they will run.
5. bikes, fish taco's, Pepermint Patties and a good metal show



ali g
i met ali g 4 years ago when he decided to race mtn bikes, coming from snow boarding, i didnt know who he was but thought it was funny he raced with a radio blasting in his jersey pocket.
check out the flite seat on the 3 wheeler.


tell us about this odd picture:
First off i'm a man of strange humor. Sometime dry, sarcastic, vulgar or juvenile. I've improved my tricycle toward speed, it is intended to make people happy or sad depending on how they feel about being smoked by a tricycle.. run, bike, trike.... testaskils. The rest of the kit is just my everyday training attire.


1 why race or ride: I've loved all bikes since i was young so i ride for the enjoyment. Even so, i would ride much less if i was not racing. I desire to race well, which drives me to train hard-ish, which in turn keeps me riding 5-6 days a week

2 what if you died tomorrow: I'd be dead.

3 some thing you wished you could have done but now can't cuz its gone, missed opportunities: When i was 18 i decided to pursue snowboarding and gave up the bike all together. I had an 11 year shred career that afforded me fancy things, candy paint, spinnin' wheels, wood grain grippin', i got that sticky icky, sticky, sticky icky. It might not have been a missed opportunity. i was off the bike for 10years so i always wonder how much gerthier my thighs could have been.

4 whats a normal day: Weekdays: Wake up @6:30.com, feed my dawgs, make a giant latte, eat and head out on the road or MTB for training. Get back to the shell around 11, consume nutrients, kiss the wife, head to Fishers Cyclery for a mellow 7hr shift. Slang bikes till 7pm, back to the shell for more hermit crab action, either more work on my side jobs or mellow till bed time 10pm. Saturdays: The best, morning starts the same but saturdays usually mean a road or mtb race. Pumps the jams for a few hours, stand near the podium, drink some powders, stretch and then consume pints of ice cream (chocolate-peanut butter) till bed or food coma sets in. Sundays: cycling with the wifey or substitute charity ride with "newbie"

5 whats a dream job: I would love to be a rally car driver on the WRC, i love driving fast cars, preferably turbo charged audis

It's better than yelling at the neighborhood kids to get off my lawn.

2 what if you died tomorrow, Team Time Trial with the dead grandpas.

3 whats a dream job

Fluffer for donkey porn.

4 philosophy of dating or finding that special some one.
Throw out some garlic-scented pheromones.

I have no idea — I'm so narcissistic I am barely aware there are other people.
