All proceeds help fund the North American Cycle Courier Championships in Seattle in the summer of 2013.

Future Tense April 2012 – Video

Future Tense was a blast on Friday and here is an absolutely astounding video of all the excitement that went down throughout the course of the event. If you weren’t able to make it then hopefully this video will give you a glimpse into what went down.

Thank you to everyone who made it! We had 80+ people in attendance and amazing weather. Tyler Johnson jumped over a Red Bull car and through fire. He definitely kept people entertained. Congrats to Felix for winning the sprints which earned him a Contour ROAM camera.

Shout out to all of the creatives involved with the making of this video. It is better than I could’ve possibly expected (or done myself). Thank you!

April Future Tense!


Join us on Friday, April 13th as Tyler Johnson prepares for the Redbull Ride & Style competition (San Francisco, April 28th). Last year he took 3rd place overall, and is gunning for 1st place this year. A ramp and boxes have been provided by Red Bull to help send off Tyler in good form, and for use in many future events. We will kick off the night with a group ride from Cal Anderson to 65th and Ravenna, followed by a trick jam, sprints, and footdown. The event is free and everyone is welcome to participate and/or spectate. Thanks to all of the sponsors who made this happen in such short notice!

Head over to the Future Tense facebook and event page.

After party show at the Kraken Bar in U-District. Details here.

Pay Homage: Keo Curry

Keo Curry – One of the godfathers of fixed gear trick riding. He was a large reason kids wanted to do tricks on a track bike. I am proud to say I have known the guy since the Fast Friday days and he surely inspired me to do a trick or two on my bike.

I wonder how many FGFS riders have been inspired by this guy?

Throwback – Macaframa x Seattle

The Macaframa crew came through Seattle back in 2007 and had put together a promo vid to hype people up for a full length video and also became special feature on the DVD. You can see the video here on YouTube. Since the video can’t be embedded I will leave you with a few screen shots. This was a time when hill bombing, wheelies and skids reigned supreme. So many memories flooded back when watching this. If you watch closely at 0:36 a tiny little speck eats pavement- that’s me. I had road rash for weeks, but didn’t break anything except my tri-spoke wheel. I considered myself lucky and sat on the sidelines for the rest of the time the Macaframa crew was in town. I remember Rainier say that he would always wear a helmet after he saw me crash right in front of him. Since then, I have been relatively crash free and intend to stay that way. Ride safe!

NACCC Launch Alleycat winner

Congrats to Christian Coomer (of PedalRoom fame) who took first in the Alleycat on Friday. Despite rain and the fire department threatening to shut down the after party, I would say it was an overall success. 15 racers made it out including the infamous Craig Etheridge (who took 3rd). Future Tense also popped off during the race, which was a checkpoint where we forced each person to “do a trick”.

The next NACCC benefit race is March 31st and involves lots of stairs. Come out and show your support! Check the facebook event page here.

Keep up with all of the happenings at the SEA NACCC website.

Hip Happenings in Seattle this Weekend

There are a lot of exciting things happening this week in the Emerald City.

FRIDAY: First up us our monthly fixed gear event Future Tense is on Friday. Over the past year it has steadily become more of a freestyle bike hang out session and less of a competition series. This month we are sharing the night with two other big happenings on Capitol Hill, the second being the launch party and alleycat to benefit the 2013 North American Cycle Courier Championships in Seattle that we here at ZLOG have been helping with alongside a rag-tag bunch of Seattle’s finest bike messengers. Also on Friday, the new Seattle skate shop Alive and Well will be hosing a grand opening party at HG Lodge featuring Dom Kennedy, be sure to hit that up if can.

Saturday: The Seattle Bike Expo is happening, although I wasn’t able to find a flier, there is a facebook event posted here with all of the info. Go Means Go will be hosting the after party in Freemont later that night, which should be a blast.

I too am a Selfish Sonics Fan

I had to give a shout to this post over at Vice about the current happenings with the Seattle Sonics. As everyone should know, our team was taken in 2008 and now we want some good ol’ fashioned revenge. We have land for a stadium, and the person with deep pockets to build it (without taxpayer money), but now all we need is the team. Actually we need two teams if we want this whole plan to work. Apparently, the deal is that we need to round up a hockey team and a basketball team to make the stadium relevant year round, and that means we have to take, not one, but two cities’ home teams away from them. Love it or hate it, we’re coming for your team!

Go read Harry Cheadle’s genius rantings at Vice

Keep on reading to check out the Sonicsgate movie for the entire tragic story of how we were robbed of the Sonics.

Worlds Bike Polo in Seattle

Not too long ago Seattle played host to the World Bike Polo Championships. This video does an excellent job of showing how heated these matches can get. I don’t play polo myself, but Seattle holds the game near and dear to its heart. Some even claim hardcourt bike polo started here. Unofficial sport of Seattle? Sure, why-the-hell not?

Fish & Chips in the Northwest

I was totally sleeping on this video till now. Dylan, aka Fish, was up in our neck of the woods and shredding our streets. We missed him while he was here, but hopefully he comes back to ride soon. Sick!

SEA TOWN FIX UP (#1) – With Nelson and Alex

Nelson Bell and I met up on Sunday to take advantage of some decent weather and dry streets. During the course of the day, we rode from the International District, to Pioneer Square where we met up with Alex Garret, along the waterfront to Myrtle Edwards park, through Seattle Center, and then up to Capitol hill. We basically looped around downtown and hit up as many spots as we could. It was a lot of fun just cruising and changing spots often. I decided this video will be the beginning of the STFU (Sea Town Fix Up) series, which will highlight some of the Seattle riders and locations on a day by day basis.

Check it out and enjoy!

all filmed with my iPhone 4

Goodbye Goods!

Goods has been an essential part of the Seattle street wear and skate culture for almost a decade and it has come time to close the doors. It was the first place I heard about some of my favorite brands like Flying Coffin and Actual Pain. In fact, my first ever tee that I bought there was a Flying Coffin x Actual Pain collaboration. Head over this weekend to snag some deals and say goodbye to one of the best shops Seattle’s ever seen.
