ZLOG BOUTIQUE – New Arrivals

Zach Bossington — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:32:47 +0000

Over the last 10 months I have been extremely busy transitioning into a new workspace in the heart of the Belltown district of Seattle. Not only have I transferred into a new space, but we’ve teamed up with IMPRNT to produce our line of tees and hats in-house for a more hands-on production process.

ZLOG Lines with teal to magenta fade and ZLOG CROP logo snapback.

The Illuminati tee is back in action with metallic gold ink.

The X-Up Redux tank is a slightly altered version of the X-up design. Printed with metallic bronze ink.

We now have the ability to screen print onto blank hats. The Illuminati snapback is something I’ve been wanting to do on a hat, but with embroidery, the design wouldn’t have worked.

Check out the whole lineup of goods over at ZLOGBTQ.com.

Walt of Namsayin stopped by the ZLOG workspace to check out my whip and see how I run things. Head over to the post and see all of the detailed shots of the Radio Bombtrack. Get familiar with Namsayin if you are a fiend for Seattle culture.

Bike Check – Radio Bombtrack

Zach Bossington — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:59:27 +0000

Radio Bikes is a company based out of Cologne, Germany. They currently have a large selection of BMX bikes and components in their line, and in the last couple years have been busting into the Fixed Gear Freestyle market (Mainly in Europe). I have been in touch with the folks who are spearheading the Bombtrack project and I find they are very knowledgeable and excited about the future of Fixed Freestyle; not something I expected from a company with a rich BMX history. It turns out the people behind this particular frame are fixed riders. Their sponsored rider, Simon “Gomok” Andraca has played a big part in development and it really shows.

The Bombtrack is in-line with all of the current necessities of a modern fixed freestyle bike. It features a negative bb drop, sloping top tube, 14mm dropouts, it comfortably fits 2.3 inch tires and 26″ wheels. I have been able to feel a positive difference when it comes to 180’s, full cabs, and hops in general. I am loving the S&M 5″ rise bars. They are super wide, high, and strong. Thanks to Shad at GOODS BMX for helping me find the right bar/stem combo! Another new component that I need to mention is the Zontrac straps; they hold their shape amazing and are the thickest, stiffest straps I have ridden thus far.

Freaker Fine Bottle Sweaters

Freaker sent over a little care package with some of their fine bottle koozies, known as Freakers. They are super stretchy and fit on pretty much anything. There are several different (and crazy) options to choose from. I had to snag the flannel one to match my wardrobe (NW pride) as well as the American flag version.

For $8 you can get your own Freaker, which is made in the USA.
More styles are available at Freakerusa.com

Theres nothing like going to a spot youve been to a hundred times and finding something new like this. They’ve been working on this for what seems like years, and yesterday i couldnt believe it when i saw it. Even if they end up skate stopping some of this its still gonna be sick for big bikes.

Pursuit Porn – Moser Shrine

Zach Bossington — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:40:58 +0000

These pictures popped up on Mexico Fixed and I had to repost. I have been reminiscing of old bikes lately. I love pursuit bikes, but the last year has been all fixed freestyle as far as riding goes (trying to keep up with the youngins). I definitely need to get rolling on one again.

Remember this guy?
