Tell me you didn’t just smile and I’ll call you a liar.

Yeah… that Ride x Create thing… we live it.

Go to Kyle Steed’s personal shop and check out his illustration brought to wood. I haven’t done a #whatisonmywood project in a while. This is definitely motivating.

I’M IN LOVE!

“The thing I love most about working with my best friend is getting to create things just for the fun of it, and watching the progression over time. I feel like this little piece embodies so much of who we are and what we want to achieve. Next year will mark 3 years for Folly and I can’t wait to see how we push past our limits in all things awesome. – Kyle

And then he drops this on me! I’ve had a couple folks ask me what this means. Essentially, people love excuses, so much so that they give up before they’ve started. They “argue” with them self and debate with others how they will never be good at said desired skill.

List of Preceived Limitations and Solutions:

PL: “I don’t have the money.”  Sol: Time to sell your game system or whatever junk you have lying around or buy less beer or both.

PL: “I’m not good at BMX or Skateboarding.” Sol: How often do you ride? Never… ok.

PL: “I can’t be a photographer. All I have is a phone.” Sol: Go look at Kyle Steed and get inspired.

Although this is on the verge of “motivational speaker” status. My goal is to bring awareness of excuses vs. real limitations. If you want to dominate bad enough… you’ll do it.

With that said… ONTO 2014!! It’s just around the corner and we have a bunch of good things in the works. We’ve held back from producing simple products (t-shirts, sticker, etc.) to really nail something in ’14. Keep your eyes peeled for that. Cheers!

Y E S!!! I’m so proud of Kyle. Go check out his VSCOcam Feature!!  ALL photos taken with an iPhone and edited with VSCOcam. Yeah… it’s amazing and inspires me everytime I oogle at his work.

Limits… what limits! Go out there and kill it every. damn. day! Whether it be photography, cycling, skating, being a friend/father or mother/husband or wife… do it to it!

“In collaboration with @topodesigns I am giving away these custom hand-drawn accessory bags + belt + patch to one lucky winner. All you need to do is leave a comment. The winner will be chosen in 24 hours.” – SteedZ

If you haven’t done this… you should.

From time to time I like to show off… this is one of those times. All shots you’ve seen Kyle and I post are taken with an iPhone 5 and processed using VSCO.  If you’ve yet to download VSCOcam to your mobile device… you should do so now. It’s a great editing tool to enhance yer already rad perspective.

I hope you enjoy! Get motivated! Use the tools you have and create the radest of rad.

“My buddy Brenton Little made a good point the other week that the fist bump is really a weak way to say hello. So we’ve decided to go back to the two most essential forms of greeting each other… Hand Shakes and High-Fives only. Join us if you like, but beware that you might just grow a beard if you do.”  STEEDZ

You’re welcome.

The Final Commute featuring Kyle Steed

LV1

Just got back from a solid 6 days in Florida.  I originally planned on taking more than one commuter snap to close the mondo Levi’s Bike Shop tour and the VSCO collab’O… but to be honest, we got to chill, laid in the sand and drank good drink!  Not a bad way to spend a vacation!

Who could blame us with a view like this?

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend and fun checking out our simple snaps for Levi’s x VSCO! 

Time to get back to the grind, ride via bike/board/feet, finalize some FOLLYCROSS details, pack and head out to Atlanta this weekend to hang with Loose Nuts Cycles.  During these outings I do a pretty horrible job updating the site.  I focus on the folks I’m with, then throw out a fun recap afterwards.  But, feel free to follow along on Instagram as I take a few snaps here and there.

Oh! and if you haven’t checked out Round One x Round Two of the Levi’s x VSCO Commuter posts, click and enjoy! Cheers
