Ok, I've decided

Captain George's new pit bike has to be mine. It might be the only bike that can't be Georged, too badly. All seems well today, I've been decently productive and eagerly await my failure tomorrow. Keep it rubber side down everybody out there, I'll see you tomorrow.

Six A.M. Waking up in the morning....

Holy shit this friday couldn't have come sooner, haven't really slept all week so I'm half zombie and half cranky. At least the holiest of holies happens sunday. Yep, new bike day, to anyone into bikes new bike day makes your birthday, Christmas, and your bris all rolled into one seem like the exact opposite of the day the coffee shop was out of coffee, it's that cool.
Found a few awesome bike links this week, so I'll leave them here, something to watch later




Keep it rubber side down out there everybody, stay safe and get me some OCB if you're over there. I'll pay you back, I promise.

Anyone else see my sanity?

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been hard at work not winning races. That shit is mad tiring, if you didn't know. Come on out to willoughby sunday it should be a good time, and I guarantee greg made the most brutal course ever. Thanks greg, where do I mail the bucket of my tears from the drive home. Have a good weekend all and I hope you stay mildly drunk.

ALSO HOLY SHIT DID ANYONE ELSE SEE GWYNETH PALTROW IS NOW A DENTIST?

So...

I added a new blog to our list, Death by Decapitation. Pretty brutal. Especially with the Discharge font. HA. Rad dudes! Anyway, the race yesterday in Orville fucking ruled! It was basically a motocross course considering the rhythm section and multiple tabletops. So far this season we are all doing fairly well with the exception of Dave the DFL King. And that's not me talking shit either, the point is to go have fun and drink beer, it's not road racing (dicks). We're still trying to find photographers and video people... Alot of people say they're gonna do it and either come once or not at all. C'mon people help some brothas out. Anyways... hopefully people actually come out for our alleycat. We're doing it the Friday of halloween weekend since most everyone is doing something that Saturday. Show up! You'll be racing for some new wheels, along with a bunch of other stuff. Also, it will be starting not too long after Cleveland Critical Mass, so we're hoping for some chaos.

Bottoms up or the rest in yer hair.

Scumbers.



I made this in about 4 minutes, so there's a lot wrong with the chart. For starters I need to find a way to account for weeks that people don't race. Currently I just use a 1 when either someone doesn't race or DNFs. I imagine next time I can just average the race before the "non-race' and the race afterword for a not accurate at all but pretty looking place. This kinda screws up the trend line, not kinda, majorly screws up the trend line. Also, the data is based on place ratio, so it assumes that you race the same race every week. After the season ends I can have enough info to weight each race by placing, and by distance, to hopefully make the chart more accurate. We'll see.

What can we see here? Well the goal is to get to 0. The closer you are to 1 the suckier you are doing. Will so far has the best trends for Scum City. Go Will.

Please, Han Shot first

SCUM CITY KILLED IT TODAY!

Aside from me, Killiam, happy birthday, and congrats on your first of many podiums. You got this shit kid, keep it up.

Nice to get the love from everyone today, felt fun in brooklyn.

I'm sure everyone is gonna talk about how bad the conditions were, I"m gonna talk about how much fun today. We flat out played in the mud. Shit ruled yo, flat out.

I was dead last as always, nuff said #excelsior(one geek reads this blog right)

J. Karp did that shit on one bike, not like everyone else who changed out every lap, shit was raw!

I'm cussing a bit more then normal, A few high lifes, and a lots of laughs can do that. I'm gonna wind down, and just call it, but I'll see you guys next week.

Another Saturday night

And I spent most of the day working on stuff around my house, laundry, making food for the team. Lots of good stuff going on for this team, I've had a few interesting talks. 2012 is looking amazing, not so much for me, I"m still gonna suck. but for the team. I'll continue to do my "work" as it were. On a personal note, I'm thinking of dumping single speed, or at least racing in the C class tomorrow. I'm getting fucking mauled by the SS cats and it'd be nice to be able to race in a pack at least. 

Also, as a working messenger, I'd like to thank one of our readers for all he does for the community, that's Squid. You guys make the job look easy. I make it look like it's completely silly.

Also, set a new record with the warsaw today. Two twenty pound bags of charcoal, two bags of hickory chunks carried from lowes. Had to be 55 pounds, felt good actually. It's not gonna feel as good as this pulled pork I made. I think the kids will call it "dank" or "the schizz". 

Local race tomorrow, come out to brooklyn rec everyone, it's a layup of a drive and I guarantee Scum City is gonna race well. Everyone but me, that being said, I'm gonna get back to listening to this Katy Perry disc....

Shit, did I type that?

No, I lied, I'm cranking black metal, um, yeah.....
