This looks like a super solid shred sled!
“The Parser is one of those bikes where you won’t need to change or upgrade anything, and it is tough enough to last a lifetime.”
Go to Fairdale and check out more history on the Parser from 2010 to today. Jah blessed!
Yup… this is absolutely stunning. Put a solid mountain bike in the hands of Danny and this is what happens. I love it!
Dude! Style and function to the max! In. LOVE with these new items from Rapha’s City Collection. Perfect for Fall weather city cruisin’!
Go to Rapha and check out the new items from their City Collection. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Chrome WARM™ from Chrome Industries on Vimeo.
These look pretty solid for winter thrashing. Really diggin’ the reflective accents. If there is one thing I’ve learned this year of riding… it’s that people don’t see you, even mid day and it’s always good to be seen.
WORKSHIRT
The Chrome WARM™ Workshirt is the most versatile insulated jacket we can make. One side is high visibility rust orange, while the other is black diamond quilted. Both sides are made with water-resistant ripstop nylon. Bike specific details include longer torso and arms, reflective details, and ventilated yoke. The WARM™ Workshirt works on its own, or as an excellent mid-layer under our waterproof Storm™ Field Jacket and Storm™ Cobra.
VEST
We built the Chrome WARM™ Vest to be our most versatile urban cycling piece of clothing. It can be worn alone or layered under Chrome Strom™ and Wind™, and over our Chrome Merino™. The Chrome WARM™ Vest has a high visibility rust orange side and a low-key black diamond quilt pattern on the other. Both sides are made with water-resistant ripstop nylon and our lightweight poly fill packs tightly. Bike specific features include longer torso, ventilated yoke and reflective details.
There you go! Fresh from Chrome Industries for this years winter riding gear.
Make sure to go check out more over at Chrome. I hope you dig as much as I do!
A lot of times when I get on my bicycle I have a plan of where to go, how long I have to get there, what to see along the way, and so on. This weekend I had none of that.
Being a newer Dad, Husband, growing this thing we call FOLLY, and still working 40 hours at a place I refer to as “The Time Suck”… my time has been spread thin to explore without schedule. 
I got on the FOLLY x BRYANT FaTRoB about 6 pm on Friday and didn’t come back till about 3 pm the next day. You’d think I would have had a lot more miles than the 80 that I put in, but I took my time, stopped to see friends/places I generally don’t stop and visit.
One of the highlights of the ride was stopping at this construction creek (creek had been there for decades) mid day and cooling off. I can’t explain properly how refreshing it is to dip into a cold creek on a hot summer day. If you’ve never experienced this before… I highly encourage you to do so. You most likely will stay there longer than planned.
I’m sharing this with you in the hope that it will encourage you to break free either solo or with friends to ride, camp, and explore. I did this solo in my local area and had a blast.
GET AMPED. GO RIP!
DUDE!!!
“We are pleased to share a special project we have been working on with Chas Christiansen and the team at Columbus/Cinelli. Enclosed are some details of our first Columbus steel frame set. This unique platform is intended to solve for a broad range of needs with one bike. Chas travels heavily –racing alley cats, working as a messenger, racing cyclocross; so this bike was born from those diverse needs. The geo has a high bottom bracket, and is agressive in nature, but allows for weight to be carried on the front rack while feeling stable. The frame and fork have removable canti brake bosses, so the bike can be ridden as a clean fixed gear, or single speed cyclocross frame set, including internal cable routing for the rear brake. Both the frame and fork will clear 35c tires for dirt, or a smooth street tire. We kept a raw look, keeping the weld heat markings, adding a clear coat to the steel. This treatment celebrates Columbus, whom we are proud to call family. Garrett Chow drew on the historical Cinelli and Columbus art archive to detail this frame set in a timeless manner. Look for more updates this week on this frame set, as well as the Parallax, and Histogram models.” – MASH
Go to MASH and check out more of this sweet combo. I’m in love!
We were headed to meet up with the rad folks at Kammok when I saw this ditch. It was a no brainer to find a way past the fences and skate it up. It was decollate, dusty, and smelt of human excrement. Solid spot to explore for a bit.
Head over to FOLLY x FILM and check out a few more photos of this scoot x shoot sesh.
Kyle and I had the pleasure of meeting up with Brett Bowden (El Capitan of Printed Threads) to discuss getting some new apparel we’re dropping soon into their new skate shop (that I’m super amped on!) out in Keller, TX called “The General Store”.
Kyle introduced me to Printed Threads several years ago. They’ve been our primary printers from the start. It’s so rad and motivating to see them grown from a few folks to where they are today.
Brett showed Kyle and I around the very expansive work place. They had just knocked down a joining wall to expand several thousand square feet into the rest of the facility they work out of.
Hearing the day to day managing of the never ending flow of work coming into PT was overwhelming and I don’t even work there. Much respect and big high five to the Printed Threads team. Really amped to have them sponsoring FOLLYCROSS 2014 and providing some of the best printed tees for the racers.
These are a few of my favorite shots from Printed Threads work space. Go to FOLLY x FILM and check out the rest.
The quiet early morning sun lit city is always enjoyable. No one is really awake yet, you have free rain to explore the landscape via bike or board, and you get to experience the transition from peace to hectic city hustle; hopefully over a good coffee with a friend.
I hope your week included some of this.
