My buddy Karl is putting on this race in Berlin. People will be racing on rented tourist bikes, which should make things interesting.
Fonsecafilms and Leader Bikes have join together to promote the release of Revoked Movie and Leaders Bikes new fork.
Revoked is out and shipping and if you order revoked from http://www.revokedmovie.com you will be enter for a chance to win a Leader Trickstar 2.0 frame and Shadow Fork.
The contest will end August 31 2010, and the only way to enter is to order Revoked Movie at the Revoked Store.
I have been working with D.A.M.P. in their search for a new team rider. Since it would be rude to snipe currently sponsored riders, we agreed a contest would be the best way to draw those non-sponsored shredders out of the woodwork. I put this flier together with some of the contest details. More information and photos of the frame can be found here. Submissions are due by August 14th so get out there and ride!

Future Tense is this Friday so come on out and ride bikes!
Last month’s Future Tense kicked off the start of the Summer race series. 11 people came out to race and many more came out to spectate. The race consisted of 4 checkpoints and at each checkpoint racers needed to answer a question. For each correct answer a point was awarded. The top 3 finishers earned extra points. Here are the current point standings.
1. Charlie +7
2. Tall Bryan +6
3. Coomer +5
4. Elliot, Modesto, Ally M, Jen W +4
5. Jordan W, James M +3
6. John Michael, Chris Black +2

Fyxation and Chrome Shoes are putting on a little contest. Tell them why you should get the goods. I think these companies need to team up and make a shoe that doesn’t wear out when you foot jam skid down a hill. Like a brake pad on the sole.

Emerald sprints by GoMeansGo are always a good time.
Dvs and Cadence are offering up a $250 cash prize to the fastest Portlander. Stoked to hear that Fast Friday is making a comeback!
