WEst Coast REport

All quiet, except for the rollin of big tires...
I wish I could say that I ran into Les Claypool or Too Short in Old Oaktown, but no. Times have changed, and the other velociraptors were at home gorging themselves on organs and organic meats of various sorts. Not to worry. I can listen to them on tape.

Ridin' in the redwoods turns out to be quiet a pleasurable experience, even with a broken pump and a rear tire leaking air. Caught onto some good psi karma by riding a front wheelie the last few miles.

Oh, and based on my subjective poll, ordinary people express doubt and fear when presented with a Stompareeja on one's head, while of course true stompaz just laugh and point...





After that ride, and before the next, I sought out the local crew. (I'm sure they know they'z stompaz, but maybe not so sure that's what its called)

I had found these boys online some time ago, and it was purely by cozmic coincidence that I stumbled into their shop.

Fixed Gear Bike Tricks by Ines Brunn on an Artistic Bicycle

When does something cool become a bit sad? NEVER!!! Things that are cool only become cooler the farther you stick them out suckas!

Insight into what you missed..............

so yeah, it's obvious to me 'n' vanilly that none of the so called stompaz showed. i have to say that you truly missed an all time best event. The thursday night SS ride was a cemetery crawl through town and into the night, culminating with a stop at Mr Smilie's grave. ( Mr Smilie had been collecting and repairing bikes for needy folks for several years in Durango. He died last year, and the local riders have taken over his collection, donated piles of usable and fixed up bikes this summer, and have started the new bike collective co-op which will be rolling in strong come next summer. ) finals that evening included the traditional thursday SS pub crawl. Friday nite was the premier of two videos following the KDUR Hop-off. The first was a tribute to Durango Devo, the local rider prep club, the only of it's kind in the nation. The second (the headliner), was the Mallethead premier, a documentary of bike polo and the scene. Both were over the top homemade films, with excellent film quality, music, and of course comedy galore, not to mention some sweet riding. Post films was a late nite at Colin's new pad, which has to be seen, and is definitely the hot spot of late for riders, drinkers, artists, crackpots, and the like. That brings us to Saturday morning, which came much too early and had us all meeting up, dressed up, and rearin' to to ride all day. The post below has a good video montage, and what you don't see, you would have had to be there to believe. Something like 47 riders, as far flung as Tucson,San Fran, and Portland. But you're right, it was too far to come over from Carbondale last weekend.... ANYWAYS, good riding, camaraderie and the like all day long, interspersed with PBR and High Ten, go figure. The finish, well, um, finished, then mass ride to town, where we all split up and napped, ate, whatever to get ready for what?, another nite out? So there we were, at the Summit, free admission with your race card, to see four bands, two of which had come in from the West coast just for us. Awards, music, booze, repeat. Something like that. As for me, I was lucky enough to have a flight out at 6am the following morning, so I was glad to be in bed by 2am. Sunday was a bike polo tourney, which I sadly missed, but would have been a good end to one of the best experiences of a lifetime. But you're right, it was too far, you were too tired, and Goddammit, nobody made it out to the Doper tour...... Yes, yes, good excuses all around, I suppose. I wouldn't have wanted to share the fun anyways. But you fuckin missed it. Anyways, as some sort of consolation, I do have a picture of my trophy that I made for the event, which is also a lamp, and I spent a good part of 10 or more hours making it, and it was up for grabs, but now, NOW??, it's a prize for next year, when it will be handed down, brought back from it's perch upon Scissom's shelves, to be re-donated to the Rally. Because THE DEAD WILL RIDE AGAIN, and if you know what's good for you, you'll be there, 'cause you only live once.

When in doubt

I thought you might like tis quote for your blog,from an old book
called The Household Guide from 1897. Bike riding was relatively new
then, but had many followers: >.>>>>>.... THankS MOM!

"Bicycle Exercise
To get the real benefit a bicycle can give, dont't race, or attempt
phenomenal distances.
Walk up the severe hills, i.e, those (depending on the person) which
cause the slightest inconvenience in breathing.
Avoid going with riders who are stronger than you, as you are then
about certain to overdo.
Sit erect.
Wear loose woolen clothing.
Go,if possible, into an interesting country, so as to have occasion
for little detours afoot, off the road, and so vary the exercise.
Go alone if you can,and not with someone who will not stop and rest
when you feel like it."

Well here under a tall bike next to one of the prize vehicles (to be destroyed by the victor), a DFL contender remains PAsSED the FUCK OUT somewhere in the middle of stage 3. shortly hereafter, said contenders' mother arrives to ascertain what precisely is wrong, she is informed that this is how YOU WIN THE FUCKING DFL!!!!

This Ol' thing was made by Ivin when he was living with the Coooper Boyz in VT one summer. WHitie was subsequently sentanced by our mother to a good home, away from ben mainly. He was found to have lots of shiny grit in the tansmission (more)
