Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

mix well

I love stories with counter-morals.

The link to the magazine I was refering to.

As such, and now that I'm again detached from the world for a few days:

I wanted to know the history and perhaps hear the song that started it all.

they had champions back then, I used to wear them and listen to all the revolution, victory, and new age records bands

saw many of them (yup, even earth crisis and slapshot) I was too young and missed youth of today, but I saw shelter several times and my friend toured with 108

there was a few cool festivals back around '92, the more than music festival in columbus (?) ohio, and one in madison wisconsin

I was never into the tuff guy SE stuff, more the vegan/punk

fun stuff until you're about 17, lol

I get no bigger kick than to get shltfaced at 218 while wearing my good clean fun hoodie......and shout out "true till death" every once in a while.

(and posting drunk with judge hammers as my avatar is pretty cool too.)

the whole i used to be straight edge but drink flaunting my straight edge tattoos thing is getting played out already like straight edge got played out.

when all the major courage crew players in louisville picked up the bottle, they used to think it was the funniest **** ever. i guess they were some trendsetters.

"i've had enough... i've had enough of straight edge kids who drink behind my back!"

my favorite thing has to be was some of the graffiti writers i came up with that were straight edge talking about "you know that feeling you get when you paint... nah, not huffing the fumes, but the feeling about it"

yeah. right dudes.. its cool we know you're huffing on a bag.

"I used to be a dumb member of a fundamentalist behavior cult. Now I'm just a dumb drunk." Wow, that's TWICE the impressive! Ness. Twice the impressiveness.

The only person that every created "good" straight edge music would have to be Frank Zappa.

Bikes: Had an IRO Mark V, looking for a new bike atm

as was mentioned, minor threat's "straight edge" coined the phrase, and out of step and bottled violence and a couple of their other songs sort of fell in line with that.

i personally think the idea of straight edge is great, i of course dislike the intolerance some straight edgers have for none straight edgers, as much as i dislike the intolerance some non straight edgers have for straight edgers. it's no different.
