I really dig Benny’s story.  It is truly inspirational since we here at Folly are on a similar journey. Thank you for the motivation Benny!  I hope your dream continues to flourish and presents new creative ideas.  Ride x Create

“After years of plodding along the corporate timeline, I realized that I was losing sight of the ideas and creative freedom I had once–and still–cherish. I had spent the majority of my 20s working nonstop–and I didn’t want to spend another twenty doing the same thing.” – Benny

Make sure to read the rest of Benny Gold’s story.  I hope it inspires you to make your dreams reality.

“Consider this your personal invitation to a fun night of bike riding and typography.

If you live in or around the Dallas area mark your calendars for next Tuesday, July 17, at 6 pm at WELD. We will be exploring the surrounding areas of WELD which are home to some fantastic typographical treasures.

Bring your bike. Bring your camera. But most of all, bring your socks because they’re gonna be knocked off.” – Kyle Steed

Wolfpack Hustle. The Midnight Drag Race from Midnight Ridazz on Vimeo.

Damn… My jaw is drops ladys and gentleman. This promo vid for the Wolfpack Hustle Midnight Drag Race is by far the best I’ve seen to date.

TRAFIK says it best:

“The next chapter in epic street racing is here! TRAFIK is proud to announce it’s sponsorship of the Wolfpack Hustle Midnight Drag Race 2012! It’s going down on July 28th, the biggest and best race we have helped organize yet. The famed 2nd street tunnel in Downtown Los Angeles will be closed off to all vehicles for a night of racing, music, battles and friends. This is a completely legal event, and the first of it’s kind EVER! #gamechanger”

Summer heat requires pool time.  That doesn’t always mean that the pool is close.  What it does mean is I load my sweet Chrome Yalta full of ice and beverage then trek the highway to said oasis.  This was done with successful results.  Thanks Chrome for the ability to make alcohol transportation so accessible.
