This past weekend, despite the wet gravel and numerous swamp like puddles, a few Los Angeles riders competed in the first ever Chubby-Boob Hang Tag Race. The racers had to battle it out with each other and the elements. In the end Kyle Kelly ended up Hanging the first hang tag which meant he clutched the first place podium position. Enjoy the pictures, and i hope this even will grow with each race. Be on the look out for the next one this coming spring!

Dustin sent me a pair of his new shoe colab with DVS. Been wearing
them for about a month now and can’t take them off, they’re too
comfortable! Nice work Dustin! Look for them in shops when they hit
the streets in May. I’ll definitely be buying another pair, love the
yellow ones too.

Victor and Ricardo threw an amazing even showcasing a race that our friends over at Take Over LA organized. That day i missed out on the race because of work, but watching it captured the tone of the race that started in Downtown Los Angeles. By the end, Matt Ruscgino took the win from Hern and Ricardo Mejia. Tony Z contributed the footage that was shown at the screening. The voices over were done tastefully and fully contributed nicely to showcase what was going through the racers heads. I hope this makes it in to this years BFF. Here are some stills from the screening.

The guys at LAB are building a tabletop. Here’s a few stills from Beaver of the guys hitting it before it’s complete — that’s a big wedge, looking forward to seeing the rest of the tabletop!

“Call of The Wild” – A Chubby Boob Race

01.28.10 | Permalink | 2 Comments

Team Chubby Boob is throwing a race next week that goes around Griffith Park, LA’s training ground for cyclists. This is a good race to see where you stack up against your peers. A route with a good mix of climbing, sprinting, and endurance. The best part about it is that; the race is free, it ends at a block party, and it’s being hosted by TRAFIK’s riders. Come out, show and prove and win!

HOW MUCH CAN YOU BENCH?

George Gregor is a featured TRAFIK rider.  Here’s a couple photos of him jammin’ on a bench around the corner from his apartment in Venice.  Bench porn?

Recession Renegades Block Party in Echo Park

Despite the rain, the turn out to the Recession Renegades Block Party was a great preview of what’s to come from RR/TOLA. When i see cycling mixing with art and vise versa, it really shows the possibility of what can be done, weather it be bicycle advocacy or expression. This event shows how powerful those two voices (cycling/art) are combined. Los Angeles needs a lot more events like this to bring the community together and show the city that it is possible rely on your bike as a means of trasportation. I’m crossing my fingers that there are more like this. I heard rumors that this is going to be a seasonal thing, and if that’s the case, i can’t wait till spring. Great job, guys!

01.12.10 | Permalink | 4 Comments

Hey everyone,
I’m in the editing stages of my new movie about L.A.’s fixed gear bike community called To Live and Ride in L.A. And right now I’m looking for local music to include in the film. This is an opportunity for local L.A. musicians to have a track featured in a movie that will be seen by cycling enthusiasts around the world.

If you have some music for me to hear, comment to this blog post with links to your url where we can stream your music. I will personally be going through and listening to each posting and I will contact you if I find something that fits in my film. Thanks for all the support L.A.!
