DOWN SOUTH – BICA BIKES & COFFEE
I had the pleasure of spending the weekend in Tijuana, Baja California with some of the best dudes in Mexico; Bolas of KILO LIBRA & Jesus of The Helper Co.! I don’t have a Fixed Freestyle bike at the moment, so I figured what better than to bring the old sunday 20” along for the trip. I’m going to keep it short for this post but expect more from both BICA Cafe/ Bike shop and yours truly. Take in mind, Tijuana is filled with unridden, unseen and unimaginable spots. We on.
I know Matt was just in Tijuana last week, check out RECFAIL for more information on BICA’S opening party. Southern Hospitality at its finest!

Capitol Hill Seattle Sledding
You gotta love a few days of snow that cripples the city’s workforce and leaves everyone playing in the streets.
CSK, Jumped in, TRE WIDEMAN
ZLOG Crew’s very own mechanic, Tre Wideman, has an interview up on the Collared Shirt Krew site. Take a few minutes to get to know him, he’s a pretty cool dude.
Kashimax rain tail
This is a great idea! best looking fender i’ve seen for sure. pick one up at Chari & Co.
AJ Austin Untitled
AJ has been on the scene for years but rarely graces us with footage or edits. I think the phrase goes, “absence makes the heart grow fonder.” Either way, AJ throws down a handful of goodies in his most recent video that John posted up. The pull up bike transfer was sick, the nose wheelies are on lock, and that hubba hop to grass was at the top of a huge stair setl. Well done AJ, really stoked on the new stuff and psyched to see the riding and antics!
Brad Simms – Probably the highest thing I ever grinded
Saw this quick clip from Brad Simms over on the Rise. This dude is known for his amazing hops. Watch it to believe it.
Velo Cult set to move to Portland
The San Diego bike shop is preparing for a move to the Pacific Northwest. Portland has no shortage of bike shops, but Velo Cult is sure to bring some new offerings to the mix. We’ll sure to be down there to check it out once they re-open their doors.
Welcome to CSK
Here are a few clips for a new project I am working on called CSK. Fortunately, I have a group of friends who encourage the pursuit of fulfillment, so a long time running joke has now turned in to something real.
Chris made me some prototype stickers. Others are on the way. Get at me if you’re interested.
I’ll be introducing the rest of the group over the coming weeks with some short interviews so please tune in.

The best pseudo-reality show on the web, Dalston Superstars, has currently released a very lovely Christmas episode filled with sex, drugs and tinsel.
