World Cup Kalmthout


If these guys have this much speed and handling in the snow,
image a day with good conditions. Simply amazing, they are 
just on a different level of racing over there. Nys is unstoppable, 
mechanical in the first lap, crash in the last lap, pulls out the win 
in the snow. What a race! This is just the last lap, but you can 
watch the whole race in 6 parts.

One Metric Ton












I feel like I shoveled a metric ton of snow. I like this idea, but watch the videos of how they are made. For an installation raising awareness about Carbon emissions, it sure emits a lot of Carbon in its creation. Transporting the shipping containers, machinery to move it onto place, you get the idea. CO2 CUBES.

Get 'stached
















Here is the art that is going into production for the gentleman's moustache kit. A reminder that not every ride rips your legs off, but when it's on...the group always comes back together. Not for bragging rights, but to fuel future tales of folklore.

Should be arriving around mid January. Complete kit $165. CONTACT ME. Join the club.

Cyclocross Nationals



Some entertaining video to come out of the singlespeed race at US Nationals this weekend in Bend, Oregon. I give these guys credit for even considering to ride on a hockey rink in 25 degree weather. I give even more credit to the people racing in jeans. Love it. Also would have loved to see how the Elite Men's field of riders would have handled this, but it looks like they with have a mostly thawed and muddy course for Sunday afternoon.

Day in pictures























In an effort to keep the creative juices always flowing, I've decided to come up with this blog feature that is a nod to a visual essay project that I had in one of my photography classes in design school. "Day in pictures" will tell the story of a certain aspect of the chosen day. Sunday was probably the most frigid day this year, so the inspiration here is just simply the cold. With all of the live animals tucked away only the human depictions were able to be spotted, but those fiberglass polar bears seemed right at home.
