SORRY doodz, know I havent been posting much, I got lots of stuff ready to go on the site (come on mike!) but heres something for the MeaN times.

Gloria's Loves Fixed Gear London!

2008-02-18T13:52:00.000-08:00

The boys and girls over at LFG had a little do the other night at Gloria's to launch some limited edition T's and show a few photos. We went along to cheek it out, enjoy the free beer and have a good old fashioned bike perv.

I didn't take many photos but check them out here. So many sweet bikes and just about all of them fixed. Shits crazy here.

Winter Playground

2008-02-18T13:30:00.000-08:00

Mark & I have been trying to keep the SBC spirit alive during the last few months but when its cold and dark motivation can be hard to find. So what better way to wash away the winter chills than drinking whiskey on the moon.
Check out a few pics of 2 of the rides we've had there HERE.
One of the nights was super frosty so we couldn't ride much but we still managed to cross the rope bridge and scale the castle.

Woah. More weirdness from John Zorn

2008-02-17T19:33:00.000-08:00

Don't watch this if you're old, pregnant or lame...actually...watch this especially if you're old, pregnant or lame.

Here's a link to a site with a whole lot of archived avante garde films from the '30s, like the Man Ray one above.

Sheldon Brown RIP July 14, 1944 - February 3, 2008

2008-02-17T15:44:00.002-08:00

Sheldon Brown was a bit like the guru on the mountain top: You'd struggle away trying figure out how to do something yourself before inevitably giving up and going to his site for some cyclical wisdom.

Sheldon encapsulated everything that was good about bicycles. His generosity has made sure future generations of cyclists will be able to do complicated bike stuff, like make geared fixies, without going insane. Don't forget to pour one out for lost homies tonight.

It's still raining outside...

2008-02-15T18:01:00.000-08:00

...so check out Mike Giant's blog on his trip to Bologna. What an amazing place. For a naive wide-eyed boy like me, hailing from a backwater colony like New Zealand, everyday in a place like that would be seriously brain searing. He says next time he'll have his bike. Fuck yeah, I don't know how you'd get on without one. Whoa, it's not raining anymore, but the streets still look wet and slippery as. Might have to put away my bmx and pull out the fixie.

The definition of annoying:

2008-02-15T16:32:00.000-08:00

A can of spray paint with only enough paint for 7/8s of your bike. Bastards.

Watch this if you like weird stuff...

2008-02-15T14:42:00.000-08:00

...like seeing a one legged dude doing kung fu.

Watch this if it's raining.

Joe Cox knows how to put a video together. Check out the 360 on the first dude and there's some good freecoaster stuff from Dan Cox if you're into that sort of thing. Some of the music is a bit questionable, but you allways get a bit of that.

Thanks to Rich Hirsch for drawing my attention to this site. It's great for a laugh and it's all sooo000 true! White people are lame. Arrgh! Anyway, we're supposed to be moving over the the dot.com soon, which is a better excuse for not doing proper posts than laziness. Oh well, I'm going to go buy some spray cans before they make them illegal.

Rat Rod Everything!

2008-01-15T14:23:00.000-08:00

I went and checked out the mechanical tempest work shop yesterday. I had arranged to meet up with the founders with the intention of volunteering some time to help build up some bikes. When I arrived two dudes were out the back cutting up old frames and welding them together to build a portage bike. They said they'll use it to pick up abandoned bikes for the shop. One of the founders, Arthur, showed me around the place. If anyone remembers the old Adventure Cycles, the original Fort Lane one, then they'll know how rad it is to have a workshop overflowing with weird old stuff. So far so good.

The shop works like this: a few people volunteer to work. If someone wants their bike fixed, they come in and the volunteer teaches them how to do the job themselves. Payment is Koha (small gift like contribution). If you wanted to build a bike from scratch, it'll cost you $20. You just need to forage around for the bits and pieces you need. Rad? Indeed.

I start on Friday. I'll post some pictures of some of the stuff later.

All this has gotten me excited about building bikes again. I've been digging the whole idea of Rat Rods, but applied to anything but cars. From what I can tell Rat Rods are munted old chassis, not really worth restoring, that are welded up and mutated and melded with allsorts of wierd parts to make a spastically awesome...something.

Skull Bike Club 2007

2008-01-05T13:45:00.000-08:00

Here are some pics I found from 07. It was a pretty rad year. Lots of drinking and riding went down. I'll see what else I can find that hasn't been posted yet.

Bike racing and beer make for a fun combination. The real skill in this race was being able to chug back the brown champagne while huffing after a round-the-block sprint.

I (forground) tried to play to my strengths - ride slow drink fast. It didn't work.

Look em in the eye while you skull to show you're not scared.

Total carnage. Dizzy, beer filled belches.

Too drunk to stand.

A Zombie Hop Comp was held in an empty parking lot sometime in April or May. Paul Beadle took out the highest hop, about the height of a tall dwarf, only an inch or two off the highest ever recorded hop.

The Skull Bike Club were there, but as usuall were too drunk to really compete. They need to hold a Zombie Fall Over Comp.

Well I guess you all heard by now. Rap superstar Kanye West bought himself a brand new Cinelli Vigorelli trackbike from the trackstar shop in NYC. This no doubt will be the tipping point at which cyclist at large, holding on to fixedgears rebellious and underground identity will abandon it in disgust causing a global "Fixed-Gear Apocalypse" (read bikesnob http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com)
So what will be next you ask? what will all the hipsters be riding in 2008?

The Wozard of Iz!
If you like moog records and wacked out beatniks talking jive this has to be the holy grail.
"The musical, which might have been intended to go beyond just a recorded album, is a psycho-electronic re-working of "The Wizard of Oz" that sounds like the soundtrack to the greatest LSD/FREAK_OUT / MOOG / SYNTH / ELECTRONIC MUSICAL that never was. This oddity is a hysterical and typical leftist/hippie commentary on the socioeconomic human condition of the average American in 1968, and uses the analogy of Dorothy taking a "trip" from Kansas for a brighter and better world where one can really be "free."

The Sword - Age of Winters

I discovered these guys a few months ago and I really dig them, the sound like Sabbath. Yesterday I finally got my hands on the record, in nice clear vinyl. The album is their first and was released in 2006 on Kemado Records. Since then they have released a 7” of Freya with a live version of Iron Swan on the b side (if you see it let me know) and this month a split 12” with Witchcraft. Enjoy…

First booze cruz of the summer

2007-11-23T12:26:00.000-08:00

It all started off politely and degenerated quickly from there.

It was the same night as the 'JT' concert, so there were loads of scantily clad young women around. It took me a while to figure out how John Tamahere could pull such a crowd. At one point some people walking along asked us if we wanted two tickets to the show. One of the twins, the eviler one, grabbed them. I think he wanted to get back stage.

So we drank loads of beer and talked even more shit, then me and Brian decided to ride up to the Winchester to hang with some courier dudes.

On the way up Symonds street I felt my saddle slip a bit, then it just fell off completely.

I stopped, turned around and saw a dude grabbing it from out of the street. The jammy fucker tried to charge me a fiver for it: I gave him a high five instead.

By the time we got to the pub...my memory's not so good because now I remember some other stuff, but I can't be sure...

Obey!!

2007-11-15T11:07:00.000-08:00

Shepard Fairey is currently having a massive exhibition in the UK and our little team paid it a visit last weekend. Stolen Space gallery have taken over the 1st floor to the Truman Brewery in Brick Lane for the show. The exhibition is amazing and it’s a shame allot of you wont get to see it in person. Here are a few photos to give you a taste.

The other week Mark posted an image of the Obey/Fuji track bike. Well, round the corner from the exhibition at this little clothing shop we found it. There was a bunch of Obey stuff in the windows and I wanted to have a look at some of the kicks so we strolled in and up the back…

2007-11-14T08:19:00.000-08:00

Gots some new bits for my bike the other day (Ill post some pics in the weekend) but I was lying in bed this morning staring at my bike (as you do) and having trouble deciding if it was totally awesome or a total eyesore.
But I had nothing to do at work today so I was checking out some sites I hadnt looked at for a while namely pedalmafia. and found some crazy fresh bikes that made me feel alot better about riding a bike thats not white with an white aerospoke.

this is plain looking i know but its got a steel mag wheel!

well if you hate all these bikes youll be in good company check out http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/ hes really funny and constantly posting taking the piss outta us weirdos who cant help but make our bikes look stupid.

Drunken Keirin

2007-11-05T18:13:00.000-08:00

Yeah! Racing and drinking - what an excellent combo! Not really sure of the format other than there'll be beer and bikes. I'll see if I can round up some dodgy old Japanese dudes to yell swearwords at us as we race and maybe some shady characters with black bandanas and missing pinky finger tips. So, Avondale Velodrome is on Portage road. Be there on the 10th of November at 12pm. Check out the video below for some serious Japanese Keirin action. If the weather sux, then it'll be postponed till the next week.

Bicycle Film Festival

2007-11-04T06:59:00.000-08:00

So things have been busy over the last few weeks. Ive got new job retouching at a big photo studio and we just moved into Mark & Asha’s flat in Kings Cross (Ruapekapeka once more). As mark said I took some photos of the bicycle film fest after party and the polo the next day. I forgot to take my camera to the cinema so I cant show you the mad bike park up outside. There were so many bikes they had to have valet parking, rad! So here are some pics for y’all.

Heres some pics of the last few weeks. I got a crappy job now so I dont have as much time to bugger around but we do ride our bikes and booze it in the weekends.
Some bikes Ive seen around town lately.

This was a carnival I cant remember what for. We got there late cause we just wanted to see the fireworks, but i saw these weird bikes which were pritty cool.

This is an exhibition accompanying the bike film festival that we went to.

you need real long arms for this one.

This is the bike polo championship. We got there too late and missed the trick comp. they had a game of "fixie" which is like "skate" or "donkey" where one person does a trick and everyone else has to copy it and if you dont land it you get a letter, once you got all the letters ie f,i,x,i,e your out. might be something on you tube Ill have a look.

this dude must be 20ft tall?

some really nice bikes!

custom bike polo bikes.

I dunno about this? I guess he bought a vacuum cleaner on the way there?

this guy was good.
Thats all for now, Ill post some pics of some drawings Ive been doing for a guy I meet riding, hes trying to start a fixed gear related clothing label.

Also Ashas Mexican Halloween Birthday party is coming up so I post some pics from that.

Reaper Skull Stem

2007-10-12T21:52:00.000-07:00

Check out this stem!
The bolts for clamping the handlebar are in the eye sockets of the skull.
It's made by some company called Dirty Dog and it's called the Reaper Stem.
Rad.

These are just some weird videos from John Zorn and Moonchild. The first one freaks me out every time I watch it. I gotta get some of this music.

Had a really strange time drinking martinis and arguing and singing revolutionary songs with some hard-core Marxists and Socialists last night. Leila Harre, Mat McCarten and Chris Trotter were there (you'll know if you follow politics in NZ - something most NZers don't seem to do (holiday in Burma anyone?)) and also this dude Joe Carolan.

Joe is a Solidarity Union guy who organises a lot of protests. We drank heaps and sang songs we pretended to know the words to. After a while Joe said we should go to this anarchist punk gig just down the road. Being Irish Joe goes insane when he drinks. The dude was just walking into on coming traffic. Cars were braking, skidding, tooting - how he didn't get hit, I'll never know. The gig cost $10, which we weren't going to pay, but Joe just threatened them till they let him in.

Brazil cafe has closed

2007-10-05T16:15:00.000-07:00

Yep. It's gone. Has-bean. Get it: "has b.e.a.n", instead of been. Ha! I kill me!

I'm actually real bummed out about it -I really liked that place.

No one makes proper coffee except Brazil. Their coffee makes everything else taste like dishwater.

They were also the most bike friendly cafe in Auckland. It wasn't a poncy fuck face place like other cafes. I think it was the vagrantyness of the place.

It took it's style cues from this choice 80s movie by ex-Monty Pyhton animation genius Terry Gilliam, which is rad.

Here's a crap story by the NZHerald on Brazil closing. They scooped me by being a daily paper. The paper I'm writing for only comes out bi-weekly - but I had the story before them goddammit! Here's a blog entry about Brazil closing I did for school.

The Godmachine - cycle courier documentary

2007-10-05T15:43:00.001-07:00

Last weekend was the world premier of Jan Steffan's documentary The Godmachine.

The Academy Cinema was packed out with cycle courier sorts and weirdo bike nuts, all hopped up on their last ever Brazil coffees (that's another story).

The doco was sweet: heaps of on bike footage following dudes flying through New York traffic. Mike Naylor, Waiheke based Auckland Sub60 courier held the whole thing together with a whole bunch of mind bending philosophical stuff.

Jan Steffan says he's going to sell a few copies of the doco, so let me know and I'll get some.

no more unco colours

2007-10-05T15:29:00.000-07:00

I hurt my wrist - some ligaments got all fucked or something - which meant I couldn't really bunnyhop. I went to see a Doctor and she said I shouldn't ride my BMX for a while. I decided the only way to do that was to pull it apart and get it painted. I was tired of having unco colours anyway.

Wish Your Were Here, Don't You

2007-09-28T03:03:00.000-07:00

Well I'm now living in London and having a good time. Ive been hanging out with Skulls a bit but were yet to have a proper SBC ride. Ive got to get Charlotte a bike so we can do the SBC double date rides. Its unbelievable how many people ride fixies or single speed. i swear its something like 1 in every 4. Some of them have their bars cut down so short there is only enough room for their hands, stupid. Ive been rocking my 20" around town looking for spots to ride and taking a few photos. Most of these spots are either right outside my front door or just 5 mins away.

I saw this little wall ride the day I arrived as we pulled up in the taxi. Its on the main road just outside the apartment I'm staying in. Thanks to Carl for not kicking me out, yet.

This wall is part of a small soccer pitch in the estate by my house. It's has 3 corners but the best and tightest one has a goal in the way.

This little bank is 4 sided with a nice gap at the back and has little curved walls in front of the main building. It's fun to ride but they are to small really.

Now this spot is my favorite of my locals and only 5 or so mins away. It's in a fenced off estate but the gate probably only closes in the wee hours of the morning. I spied the courtyard area of this estate on our way back from the tube. it had little slant walls and looked like there was some potential, but i wasn't expecting this. I've ridden there a bunch of time and have never been asked to leave.

Im sure you have all heard of the south banks before but i thought id show you what its looking like now, such a sweet spot.

These last 2 shots are from when Charlotte and i went to the Borough market last weekend. The first is of a stall that makes amazing organic juice, the second is of the crazy selection of yogurt and chocolate covered goodies. just about anything you could want or think of is there. these guys also make amazing looking Turkish delight. We were both feeling hungover from the night before and in need of some food. I got this plate of potato with little pickles that is smothered with freshly melted cheese. I would have been happy to have a heart attack right then and there. Ive been up to all sorts of other stuff but ill fill you all in later. Oh, and wish me luck for a job trial on Monday. Not sure if my skills are up to standard but I'm going to spend my weekend with Photoshop Mama. Check you later.

I cracked my other frame so I chucked this thing together to ride till I have time to fix it. I put 700c fork in it but It's still way sketchy with the short stem and stuff. Also check out this rad BMX shop in Sydney called Hell on Wheels. We need som'n like this here.

Cocks On Bikes and other stuff

2007-07-17T21:05:00.000-07:00

Phew! Last weekend was fun: heaps of beer, riding to parties, more beer, more riding. Mark's show was fun and Brian was at his best, just check the pics - cheers Mark.

This weekend looks like it'll be more of the same.

Some BMX dudes (Beadle, Moffit and co.) are premiering their new Cocks on Bikes vid "Shake your Snake" and having a bit of a party. We wanna roll up in true SBC (scumbag bike club) style, so I'm inviting anyone who wants to get mashed and ride to come over to Mark and Nat's place at 9 Glasgow Tce sometime before 8pm this Saturday. We might dig up some of the long lost buried treasure, so bring some mix (Pepsi would be good).

PHANTOMSMASHER

2007-07-10T17:10:00.000-07:00

I think only Justin and Dave will probably like this but its pretty much the best thing Ive heard in ages.
"Phantomsmasher is James Plotkin's [not so] latest brain-teaser and arguably his most ferocious. Teaming up with drum-man-chine DAVE WITTE (Burnt by the Sun, Discordance Axis, Melt Banana) and voice-ripper/sonic guerilla DJ SPEEDRANCH, the trio has cast aside the limits of hardcore, electronics, and rock thus creating an inexplicable force of a sound. Soar through a windtunnel of guitar while being skinned alive by audiomulch vocals before you're pummeled by the filtered blastbeat sonic-crunch. Imagine your favorite genres being extracted to your harddisk, torn to shreds and spat back out in the form of metallic digital powder. Imagine DIY laptop hardcore geeks having convulsions and vomiting buttermilk. The music is much more appealing than that. Phantomsmasher is music that makes you feel excited about art once again." -Ipecac

Dead Horse & Skulls (39 Fly Photos By NJC)

2007-06-17T20:45:00.000-07:00

Last Friday night (the 15^th) we met outside the new sideroom.com gallery on New North Rd for a few free beers and a little art. Mark Skulls had a few pieces in the show, one of which was sold even before we turned up a little fashionably late. Inside was packed to the brim so we overflowed out on to the street. Once we ran dry more beer was gathered and we headed down the road (about 400m) to Ace Place.

Brian traveled into the future and beat us all there. This is where the session got into full swing. We had the ghetto blaster hissing and booming. I had made a mix but in the rush out of the house forgot to load it onto my player and Justin’s was flat. Thankfully Mark had some tunes for us all.

We lay down some skids, popped some airs and busted some tricks. There were a few spill, but only egos bruised, paint scratched, and I think one broken axel.

Have you seen the Sasquatch?

We all got too cold to stay in one spot so we rode to Kowhai Intermediate for an epic footdown/keep warm battle.

This chick is so badass that she tastes wine while escaping the NOTHING!
