CEYA!

Hey Animal
this might be something cool for the next issue of FIXED

I was thinking the same thing. I started a similair thread on fixedgeargallery.com and these velos look so cool from the sky.

problem is: high enough resolution image to print. Looks all good on the web but in print, yikes.

yeah - maybe get a PS wiz to fix 'em up - or are they really that bad? If so - collage them or use them as page footers with the page number in the center. Who knows - just some suggestions.
Cool thread though for sure.

Here is the Superdrome in Frisco Texas, on Wade Ave.

did you check the images via terraserver too? They are B/W, but might be better.

Here is Marrymore in the Seattle area, Remond to be exact. I used to live about a half mile from it. I wish I rode fixed back then. Click Me (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=marymoor+way,++redmond+wa&ll=47.666330,-122.111986&spn=0.008261,0.010353&t=k&hl=en)

Mike Walden Velodrome in Bloomer Park. Rode this one last weekend. 250 meter tracks w/44 Degree banks are freaking thrill rides.

Okay, people - when putting links on here, remember to click the 'link to this page' on the right side of the page before posting, mkay? Otherwise the link doesn't work...

Yeah - listen to Captain Underpantstrackstand! :D

Oops, both are Baton Rouge. :eek:

That does indeed look like Alkek!

i captured these, un-googled them in photoshop and made jpgs.

velodrome pics (http://thirdrate.com/velodrome/)

the image quality is poor, but i'm kind of into that.

i've got them all printed out at around 10x12" and pinned up in a big grid on my wall.

they look awesome...

So cool!

Wow that is cool. I really think I have to publish these in the next issue of FIXED. I wonder if I can print those as smaller thumnails? Brunning can you email me those jpegs?

thanks...

Check this image out:

It is the Northbrook Velo (see post #5) from Terraserver - image quality and zoom is a bit better. I a going through as many of the velos as I can and grabbing the img and photoshop'ng them. I can zip them and email them to you. PM your email address to me and I'll send the ones I can.

sadly no - SNAFU on today's time, plus my grad school qtr is wrapping up. It will happen, just need to get past the next week or two. It has seen asphalt - and it is sooo damn smooth. I feel like I am punishing it by not having the velo time I thought I would this month.
