WHAT THE HELL IS ROLLER RACING?

fitzy, my boss at the bike shop, and i are always brainstorming ideas to grow bicycling culture in jackson. like last summer, we threw two great bike-ins. goonies and raiders of the lost ark were big hits in town. at some point he came across an event in vegas that sparked his interest. and the truth is that roller racing has been around for over half a century. instead of explaining it, i'm just going to show you this video of our event we threw last week:

BURN THE BOATS!

so today is a big day because i hired a web developer to help me start a website - bikewire.org. i'm not going to go into too many details of the website, but i will be moving this blog to it soon. this is totally exciting and there's no turning back now.

ULLR DOESN'T HATE US

someone did there diligence and burned some skis as a sacrifice because it's finally snowing again. here is a video of our shinanigans at teton pass yesterday. if you want full screen check it out on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLq2Zs-Urag&feature=player_embedded#

bday 2010

"KNOCK, KNOCK." "WHO'S THERE?" "BLUE BIRD!"

i called it january 6th 2009. my next birthday would be a powder day. and it was. it always is. and next year will be no different. here is a slideshow/video i made of the day.

happy new year

FINALLY GOT A CAMERA

but i'm buying my next one local. today is january first 2010 and it seems we might have some nice snow to shoot tomorrow. forecast looks good, keep your fingers crossed.

WE'VE GOT WORMS

not a good pick up line, but cool little creatures. picked them up on ebay. they're good at keeping compostable material from the landfill and produce legendary soil for spring time. they love coffee grinds and broccoli, but aren't too stoked on grapefruit. rock on little dudes.

INDOOR DRYER VENT REPORT

not sure why these aren't more popular. took 5 minutes to install, pretty simple and seemingly effective. i may try to talk to the manager at the local hardware store about pushing these inexpensive energy savers. but the real way to dry clothes is still better..

"CRACK HEADS HAVE THEIR CRACK, BUMS HAVE EPIC JOURNEYS"

partner in crime tall ted and i are conjuring our next epic. which will hopefully entail flying to europe in the fall for a 'credit card' style bike tour. that means you are riding extremely light, no more than 8 lbs. of gear, and crashing couches and hostels when need be on your travels. this way you can get plenty of 100 mile days and can enjoy the classic climbs that the tour de france rides.

COLDSPRINTS

hopefully coming soon to a jackson-hole near you:

This post if for Kori.

COLLAPSABLE COFFEE MUG

business idea du jour. i am sure someone already makes this, but probably not with a lid. i hate how many cups i still manage to toss away after one use.

4 AM DANCE PARTY

not sure where it came from but it sure was fun. michael jackson is the only way to start a DP. period. oh and paper bird's is an awesome band.

THIS BLOG REALLY SUCKS

without a camera. best buy, for crying out loud, you are losing my business. why did i pay 80 dollars for an insurance plan if i have to spend 3 hours a week on the phone for 4 months to ensure that it doesn't fall through the cracks. i have decided to go to plan B: i will be selling a pair of skis and purchasing a sweet cannon with HD film abilities. sickbird.
