Warszawa Car Smash from COG Magazine on Vimeo.

Anyone who has been riding for any length of time understands the frustration cars will bring you.  Whether you obey the cycling “rules of the road” or not; cars will constantly try and kill you.  This looked like a good “anti-car” demonstration.  Thanks for putting this together COG Magazine!   

“What started out as a side event of “Side View Mirror Kick” at the 2011 CMWC in Warsaw Poland, quickly evolved into an all out free-for-all destruction session initiated by Von Munz of Milwaukee, WI.” – COG Magazine

Get Outside and Go Ride

Ride

If you don’t know by now, our philosophy here at Folly is “Ride and Create”. We don’t care if you’re riding a bike, a board or some beat up hand-me-down that your older brother gave you. Just as long as you’re having a good time. This illustration reflects the fun, we here at Folly, feel when we get on the bike and just ride.

And just to prove how much we love you guys, we’ve put together a small collection of desktop/iPhone wallpapers for your enjoyment. Just click the link below and it will automatically download. Now get outside and go ride!

Post Go Skate Day

Had a blast yesterday!  Rolled up to the skate park to catch some of the dope competition action.  I was pleasantly supprised at all the local Folly supporters!  The sun was out, beverages were had, and people were soaking it up via bike and board!  Check out some of the photos below of the happening throughout the day.

I meet up with Matt Uptain and Chris Rost to cruise downtown later on in the evening.  These dudes were killing it!!There was an “art walk” going on in the area, which ended up being pretty fun to ride through (dodging people traffic is always entertaining to me).  The spot that Chris wanted to hit was all blocked by cars due to the event, so we headed to the “water gap” (aka “Uptain gap”).  Matt has been dreaming about clearing this for a bit!  He approached it several times only to stop and re-evaluate his speed, making sure he had enough to dominate this beast.  After several approaches, you could see it in his eyes… he was ready to commit!  He backed up, started hauling full speed… only to be stopped by this duck that “conveniently” placed itself right where Matt was going to land.  Talk about breaking the vibe!!  It took a couple more approaches, then, low and behold… Matt clears it by close to 3 feet LOL!  Dude was a freaking speed demon hauling through the downtown park!  Solid gap clearing abilities Matt!  Well done sir.   

Shortly after I got the photo of Matt via iPhone, I had to skate off and meet with our screen printer to conjure up some sweet new apparel for your wearing pleasure!  That was good and creative, then headed off to the good ol’ Taco Bus, and devoured one of these!  Shortly after… Go Skate Day was over cuz I was passed out.  Very good and productive day!
