internet fame.

so, the internet is all a-buzz about cycling lately and all the attention is on one man...

no, not lance.



srsly. check me out;

• got to star in the new urban velo magazine, masi ad. (hot placement on the backcover, in full color!)
• i also scored what i am calling the 'lead role' in the sweet masi promo video. (hot velodrome racing action!)
  
• and, riotminneapolis.com got a nice write-up on my favorite fixedgear trend-watching site, hipsternascar.com!

i'm everywhere.
get used to it.


notes:
1) photo by pete demos. he's good at his job, but i like to think as a professional model i made his job a lot easier...
2) i am not an advocate of riser bars on fixed gear bikes.
3) i do support riser bars over mustache bars. those are just retarded.

omg, a new post!

bet you thought i quit, huh?

maybe you were right. who knows.

anyway, here i am writing a stupid blog post. you are fucking welcome.

so, i guess the recent news is like so;

i raced up in duluth last weekend for tonytonetoni's duluth-classic. it was a ton of fun like usual.
a bit different from last year, as LGR did not field a full squad.

only me and the infamous littleguy made the trip.
stage one was the TT. awesome.
since neither of us would crack the top 10 on our best day, we both bagged it and rode tempo saving the legs for the "important" races. i did catch LG though, and we had a sprint finish where he got me by a tire. most excitement the officials had all day.


see me? i'm the cute one. (photo from www.viewthroughmylens.net)

the rest of the weekend was us attacking the field and having fun racing. managed some decent results, but no stage wins. which was expected, since i am currently way off the form i had last season at this time... it was good to see some new out-of-town teams in the mix.
you a-holes get boring to race every week. 'nowhatimsayin'?

and then;

the week prior to duluth was a busy one for me. masiguy (lgr's super fantastic awesome super sponsor) and staff were in town, and i spent the week showing him the sites.
masi was in town to shoot photos for their catalog and for ads/web stuffs. all that jazz.

fyi, my modelling career is about to blow up. get your autographs now.
i hear i will be in the next issue of urban velo.

we gave them the grand tour, and got alot of awesome stuff for the catalog.
they came out to the velodrome to catch the thursday night racing action.
they were treated to lgr and masi bikes going 1st & 2nd in the very first race of the season.
can't beat that.

me? i just tried to look fast.
i hope it worked.

...

don't forget, i have a new business!
please check it out and maybe buy some stuff. i have no kids to feed!

moe has a new album, "cities and years", dropping on the 23rd.
the tracks that have been released already are amazing.

i am in awe of the talent that so many of my close friends possess.
i've known both these kids since forever. for years. in one city to the next. these friendships have been constant.



with any luck i'm gonna get them both here in minneapolis at the same time along with some other good friends from far away cities and years.

it's gonna be a fucking riot.

check out the video. filmed in st. petersburg, russia.

G and J

In the early Gumby episode "The Blockheads," the Blockheads slip ice cream into Gumby's milkshake, while Gumby and Pokey are traveling through the Old West.

The bartender serves the laced milkshake and Gumby becomes stiff as a result. The Blockheads take advantage of this in order to kidnap Pokey. (!)

However, Gumby blasts himself through the sky by firing off his pistols and lands on the Blockheads, saving Pokey.

yo, video mondayz iz mad fresh.
