So every month we here at zlog organize an event called Future Tense If you didn’t know, now you do. Here is a video which pretty much shows how it goes. If you ever wondered what it was like then check this vid out! On second Fridays of every month we meet at Cal Anderson park at 6:30 and we definitely encourage everyone to come out.

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

This month’s Future Tense ended up at Zymogenetic labs on Eastlake. The parking lot was a perfect place to hold the trick comp.
Tyler’s wall ride solidified his win
Alex has some hops! (check Introducing Alex Royal)

Next Friday will be the first Future Tense of Spring 2010. Thanks to our sponsors, we will have tons of stuff to give away. Since we expect the turnout to build in the late Spring and Summer months we will be looking for additional sponsors to donate prizes and giveaways. If your company would like to contribute to the Seattle fixed gear race and trick community, we would be pleased to hear from you (email hello@zlogblog.com). We encourage anyone to come out and have fun with us.
Once again a huge shout-out to our returning sponsors. These companies contribute every month in some form or another and we extremely appreciate their continued support; Flying Coffin, Winner’s Circle, Goods, Coal, Urban Velo, Leader bikes, Lazarus cycles, Lucky Devil Tattoo and Wheel-builds by Tre from Recycled Cycles.
See you this Friday!
Yasu sent me some photos of the last Future Tense. Remember the next Future Tense is coming up on April 9th. Come check it out!
If the weather stays wet we will be heading to the same parking garage as last month. Otherwise, meet up at Cal Anderson at 6:00. Bring a case of beer and get ready to shred. I hope to see a lot of people out tonight!
Future Tense is on this Friday. Come out and ride bikes! Everyone is invited and there is no pressure to compete. The weather should be good so quit hiding and come check it out.
February Future Tense was a wet one so we ended up going to the parking garage downtown. Chris won the longest pop-up competition. Tyler dominated the race with Eli taking second. New comer Steven Jensen killed the trick comp with his nose manual manual. Jacob was the footdown winner of the night. Thanks to everyone who came out. There are some photos up on my flickr, check em.
Come on out and have some fun tonight at Future Tense. There is no pressure to compete and there it’s free, so come see the event that makes the Seattle fixed scene great. Good times are always had.
Taylor uploaded some photos from Future Tense. Check them out here
