One of those announcers was losing his ****. Pretty good.

Well... after that I'll never feel fast again.

Wow... what a run, incredible - what a result, too! Incredible riding, just incredible.

its been 33-40C all week here in milan. Rained last night so it just got humid and went down to 32.




thanks for answering my lacing questions... always felt kinda stupid not knowing the difference...

Hey good news for all youse who want a "fixie".... I was talking to only who I can assume is uncle jacob (I couldn't hear half of what he was saying cause he was eating a sub). After trying to bargain him down hundreds of dollars for a bike for a buddy... he was happy to tell me that he was getting a couple hundred "columbus" frames with "flip flop" hubs and is going to be offering a building course. Awesome/WTF?

Went to Durham forest yesterday, It dumped for about 30 mins then cleared up for an epic ride on the new 29er. Simply amazing. Oh btw Somnamb, I rode with your competition at the worlds SS (Tristan) who also went for a road ride earlier that morning ;)

isnt uncle jacob a well known re-seller of stolen bikes? either way, i do not think i would trust the "columbus," "flip flop," or "building course" elements of his story.

What did you get?

Specialized stumpy comp 29 through Bikesports Newmarket. I didn't have a chance to take a pic before I got er all muddy. So damn fast. The other guys all got misfits 29 ss so they make me feel like a dork cause I have to change gears... just can't win. Whatever, I don't want to hear any crying cause you can't climb certain hills. http://www.bicycletherapy.com/i2/big...-comp-29er.jpg

Oh common. Maybe he has had a consultant come in to greenwash his image. :)

Well that certainly looks like fun. :)

Holy crap!!! I love how the one announcer is saying "blah blah Sam has been training hard" or whatever and the other guy is like "OH MY GOD THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!". I just don't understand how that is humanly possible. Wow. Just wow.

The other guy is just out of hand. It's pretty good...:D

Did you see the 2nd place run by Steve Peat?

Quote: "He's doing for downhill what the Egyptians did for construction!"

Hahaha, ya ... I wonder how long the announcer had been waiting to use that one? ;)

haha amazing

Drunken movie ordering on CMWC weekend leads to the following being found on my doorstep this morning when I got home:

Pedal
American Flyers
Breaking Away
2 Seconds
Quicksilver
Red Light Go
Hell on Wheels

So I now have a bunch of bike/related movies, so whenever movie night is (maybe I'll clean my hellhole up and host!) I have a few. Also have a '416' Toronto alleycat compilation (from Aryeh) and the MASH /Bootleg Sessions discs too.

nice - i've been wanting to see quicksilver and red light go since it came out. i just got a new large screen tv and have ample seating should you need an alternative venue for this movie night....

Nice jer, maybe we'll have to put something together soon - I've only the 19" monitor to go with at my place.

TJ you have any clips/footage from your cam to showcase? Mine is mostly all unchopped still.

PS. Happy Canada Day everyone! I'm gonna go cruise to the east side I think, and get some eats somewhere in the core.

Wanna wait till this weekend, i want in on this and i should (if i ***** enough) be home by then.

Most of mine is still raw footage unfortunately. Getting everything ready for European VacationTM, so I'll have to pass on movie night...bummer :(

This was first attempt at editing

it appears a water main has burst on my street and there is now a torrential downpour happening. who wants to get out the slip n' slide and have at it?

We were out watching fireworks and then realized that all the bats had been flushed out of the nearby trees. National Lampoon-style hilarity ensued and I'm safely inside now. The bats ate Sara.
