Picked up these Campagnolo Vento's yesterday for a deal i could not pass up. Kinda funny that I built up Campagnolo Atlanta's for this bike already but well... Vento > Atlanta. This is actually an 8-speed wheel fit onto my 6-speed frame. Wasn't sure if it would work but turns out it works no problem!

Yesterday i had a day of biking and hanging out with friends, pretty much how my life used to be a few years back when riding was a bigger priority for me. Went to this Red Bull fixed gear event held over at Justin Herman plaza in SF. Consisted of a race and fixed gear freestyle competition.

Let me tell you something, back when i used to be into fixed gear bikes, i wasn't so into the whole fixed gear freestyle thing. I just always thought to myself, WHY not just do it on a BMX bike? Well shit, FGFS has gone a lonnngggg waaay and its amazed me how talented these riders are. much respect. i would never have thought it would have been taken this far.




this guy from Japan, yes that is a fuckin back flip.




thanks for the sticker Logan!


as much as i don't ride every day now, its still a ton of fun riding with my friends and gettin out there on 2 wheels.

Benny Gold grand opening.

Today i finally got to do some riding on my new bike. Reaaally realllly reminded me of back in the days when i only got around on a bike. Luckily it was a nice day today (up until some rain in SF later that night). Gears are great, after riding a fixed gear and bmx around, you totally see how a geared bike is most efficient.


here are some left overs from Alameda Theater







so this was going to be a really cool photo, i was standing below those steps and the dog was just peeking over. Well some people freaking had to come and be all "awww look at this cute doggy!" and take him away from me. bastards.

Today i took some new photos of my bike, hung out with Winnie a little bit, uhh, yeah thats about it.

OH AND I SAW the movie Sucker Punch and i really thought i was going to like it, from past experiences i was never able to trust movie reviews saying the movie was bad, but i end up liking it....

THIS WAS NOT THE CASE...the movie was really boring, graphics were pretty cool but damn, that wasnt good enough, story line was horrible!
