A Leisurely Stroll around the City?

This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. Keep in mind that these guys are on fixed gears (they can't stop pedaling) and they have no brakes. The video kicks in at about 0:50 and is a little over 4 minutes long. Enjoy.

Spy pics of Skatecity

Here's a couple of shots I took from my visit to Skatecity the other night (that's Harlem Hotshot Levi Wilson killing the quarter). The only obstacle you can't see in these photos is the mini ramp behind the bowl corner. The park area is done, but they're still working on lavatories as well as an area to hangout and conduct day to day business activities. That said, the park is not officially open, but they are allowing people to ride from 7:00 pm until, for $10. The funds raised are going towards the completion of the facility. Here's a map to the park. So grab your BMX, or MTB, and come...

Meet Todd Corley

If you've been on an AJBW group road ride you probably know Todd Corley. And if you've ridden with him you know that he's got a good sprint. But I'll bet you didn't know that he has skills on a skateboard as well. A couple of days ago Todd comes in early before a ride and says, "Hey, I got a new skateboard." Being that I used to "skate and destroy" I was eager to check it out. One kick and push later, and I'm destroyed. I just about shattered my wrist carving "turn one" of the showroom floor. That was enough for me so I asked Todd to show Nate and I some sweet moves. Now keep in mind that Todd has just gotten off work, so he's still wearing his steel toe boots. And skating in steel toe boots is kinda like riding your SPD-SL equipped road bike at the Dublin Century in a pair of flip-flops. He proceeds to kick and push...CLICK!BAM! One steel toe equipped, perfectly executed kickflip ollie.
Drew =0, Todd =1. Stay tuned for the rematch.
