News from Bike Nerds Across the World...or maybe just around the country.

So the legs these days only get a few turns a week, but this week Shooky was wired and got a great vid of some pretty good schralping. Sadly, its only on le Facebook right now, hoping to get it to vimeo shortly. here is the facebook feed though: good run TNR style, note DYlan's jorts.the kid don't mess. Kiwi Jon, the Boz, Weak Sauce (if you can believe he made it out), and I felt we had pretty good showing too!
Most importantly, good times were had. Upon landing back in the villa of MV,Charley of the hong kong variety fueled the emptied tanks. This was followed by a kolsh or 3 at the favored beer vendor in town.

Spanning the globe, Frankenbike's Revenge's own Pittsburgh based Jamaican correspondent, D Dub (seen here getting his schralp on at the pump track with his very own progeny Malik, perhaps 3 years old in this photo.)

about the bmx scene down on the island. Its a pretty great story about the Krash Test Dummies and what its like to have a bmx team in a country that doesn't even really have a bike shop. Makes you appreciate places like the Bay Area that seem to have bike shops matching the numbers of Starbucks. Fortunately most of the bike shops around here serve better Java that the latter mentioned.

From the technical desk of Gene Pascua, We have the ultimate of all advance fixie freewheeling nerdery, with a good dose of coolness.

And finally from the entertainment desk of the WeakSauce, we have the biggest conflict of awesome and super lame. I truly am in a conundrum about his one. Barbie Rock the Pump Track. You control Barbie while she kick booters, doing no handers and supermans. I don't know, its really messing up my head, but semi addicting. probably why it's messing with my head. I just gotta superman can collect those jems!

thanks for wasting a grip of time with me. Check back soon.
