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

Zlog x Nemesis Project 26″ Build

I am excited to reveal these photos of my fully built Trackfighter. This bike is a beast! For such a large frame it is surprisingly light, only 25 pounds built up. This bike has all the tire clearance I’ll ever need and I am running 2.0 tires. I love the look and feel of the bike’s geometry, the top tube is long, which gives my arms some stretching room and makes for little toe overlap. The bottom bracket is high and I have had no pedal strike, which would normally be a problem when running dual 26’s.

Full Specs:
Frame: Zlog x Nemesis Project Trackfighter
Fork: Lazarus Prototype
Cockpit: Animal hs, Profile HIP Stem, Donny Robinson FLY bars
Wheels: 26″ Velocity Chukker front, 26″ Velocity Cliffhanger rear, Serfas Drifter tires 26″ x 2.0
Seat: Leader Mordecai saddle, Thomson Setback Seat post
Drive train: Demolition Spanish BB, 39t Tree Lite sprocket, Demolition cranks (165), KMC Half-Link chain, 15t NJS cog
Pedals: Odyssey Pedals, RE-Load Lockdown straps

Check out Nemesis Project bikes. They are handmade in the Sacramento, California and are tough as nails.

BMX Saturday II

Alright, what Tyler said was partially true. Today was Saturday and we rode bikes. I did however show up riding my fixed gear and didn’t trade it in for my bmx until after we rode a few spots. We snapped photos at this little hip and these are the few that came out. Check out Tyler’s tweeked airs (and stylin’ shades)! After seeing how much I was missing out on by not riding bmx, I made a quick change and we continued our tour of the city. To put it simply, my body is beat and I already feel the aches I’m going to wake up with tomorrow morning. All around this was a stellar way to spend the day.




Fuck 700cmx Saturday

Jruff and I decided to say F U to the CMX today, and we went out and shredded the bmx bikes! Fun stuff to change it up every once in a while. Saw this video over at The Come Up. Pretty awesome. Metal Bike dudes setting up gnarly stuff as usual.



Alki Beach Cruisin’

A few weeks ago we got a little group together to ride out to Alki Beach. Check Tyler’s new Leader beach cruiser!
