Stacy's new ride

Don't let the crazy face scare you. That is how he shows emotion.... with tongue.

Nice weather brings the boys together

Clazy
Jordan


Here are a couple of pictures Brenton took of Clay and Jordan on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. Way J.

third time is a charm

You may remember me calling out Alice (Alex) for installing his cranks the wrong way. Well, today was the day thing looked up for my friend. Today, he installed them they way they are supposed to go on.....ALL BY HIMSELF! He's a big boy. (sniff) They grow up so fast.

Beaver suit

I found this picture of Cheever on All Hail the Black Market. Just when you thought you've seen it all

I Love My Bike

Patrick!
Clazy, groin, and co.
Jordan!
Carey!
Jeremy!

I was surfing the web,because that's what cool people do, surf, and I went to a site called I Love My Bike. It's a book of pictures of people with their trusty steed. While I was there I saw a few friends and I wanted you to look at them. Pay special attention to their faces. Jordan and Carey are definitely smiling. Jermey.... not so much. I am going to file that under S for smirk. Clazy is always grabbing himself so that's nothing new, but that expression is a new one. Haven't seen that one before. Patrick looks pretty serious. Mashing is serious business.

Tonic Fab's take on Bridetown Hustle

Tonic Fabrication is always a big supporter of the BLAM... and my new sponsor, but we'll get to that later. They came out both nights to show some love. Check out Tonic's blog and take a look at their pictures and recap of the event.

Legs for days

Married Kyle sure does love that shirt. Why he doesn't wear lycra tights with it all the time, I don't know. So hot.... ish.

Resourceful

Mitch called me up and asked me if I needed anymore pallets for the berm we were building. I said yes thinking that he was maybe going to bring them over in a car to my house or tell us where to get them seeing as how we have access to trucks. No, that was not the case. He strapped them to his back and rode it on his brakeless Hufnagel to the shop. Well done, friend.

Long Distance Relationship Kyle

LDR Kyle is on this bloggy blog a bunch too. Here he is shredding the gar. Yeah, gar. Not gnar. It's the new ever evolving terminology for being rad. Maybe you didn't get the newsletter. If you didn't I wanted to make sure you were up to date just in case you said gnar and then every one gave you the stink eye because that shit is 2009. Long Distance Relationship Laura, make sure you say gar too. Vermont needs to be in the know.

"it's called confidence"

This is Verg. You may know him through Shimano. You may know him through Eddy Merkin. You may know him from the bar. If there is anyone I want to see in bibs, it's him.

Patrick Funk

I know I show a bunch of pictures of Patrick and no pictures of him riding.... which is what this mo fro is all about. So, here are a few for you to feast your eyes on.

Clazy was super stoked to get his bunny hop bar spin down. Bring it to the BLAM, son.

This little number is a picture of Married Kyle killing a turn better than anyone else. His form is by-the-book! Single Speed Cyclocross World Championships, 2008.

P Funk's new bike

the bike
the man
the myth

Patrick (don't call him Patches... he hates it) works at our sister shop, The Fat Tire Farm. Wait there's more. For Christmas his loving girlfriend got him a wee little bike and in our opinion he rides with his seat way too high, but that's neither here nor there. Anyway, she was "sneaky", got a hold of our boss, and paid for it with out Patches.... I mean, Patrick knowing about it. I was a way J. For Christmas my girlfriend got me some new sponges so I can wash the dishes. He wins.

Team Double Tap

Clazy, killin it.
My boy, Stacy Schrag, takes some sweet pictures. He was the photographer at the last BLAM and will be snapping shots at our upcoming event in February. Here he is with his new ride. Tron, brother. Tron.

Sorry Alice, I had to.

This is Alex (Alice). He's a smart guy....really. Which is why we were surprised to see him install his cranks like this, twice. Bless his heart.

"i came all the way from space."
