With a little under a month until Primal Quest Montana 2008 teams from around the world are doing final preparations for a week long non stop suffer fest in Big Sky Montana.
Teams will travel under there own power over hundreds of miles and 100,000 feet of elevation gain with little to no sleep, hallucinating that they see Bolder Body Jon From Randall Scott behind every tree.
Teams of 4 will move through the night with the majority of their time running, biking, and kayaking. Check out the 06 opening ceremonies video From Primal Quest Utah.
This weekend, 5/30 - 6/1 in Lyons Colorado (Just 15 mins. north of us) will be the Lyons Outdoor Games. There will be events in everything from a dirt jump competition, to a short track race, Speed Retrieve dog competition. In all of these events The Randall Scott Crew will be representin strong.
On dirt jumps we will have Nick.
On the short track race we will have our new little boy intern Ryan.
Picture of me yelling at Ryan after he jammed the printer
And in Speed Retrieve dog competition we will have my dog: Eagle Dog.
Should be a shoe in for the weekend but there are vicious rumors of an apearance by Air Bud.
So it seems these days that everybody and their mother is hoping on a fixie, and then being promptly thrown off when they try and leave their leg down and coast. It seems that all you need to claim OG status is to have ridden your sweet new Tommaso Augusta. Now, the previous sentence may lead readers to believe we're not down with the recent surge in popularity and riders, but we're not haters, we just want to hand out some tips for all the noobs so you can ride with confidence. First remember Flashier Is Better. Custom paint jobs, ridiculously expensive wheels (preferably with custom paint jobs. see pic), and Diamond encrusted handlebars are all in. Big time.
Second arrogance is key. If Roadies or other Fixie riders check you out, flash them a condescending look at their bike and look away, it's what they're gonna do to you. Lastly, forget what you think you know about Track bikes being built for speed, going fast and being able to stop are overrated and pase. Seriously what fun is fast? Flatland is the wave of the future. You aren't a fixie rider until you can do a backwards circle with one foot and no hands into a straight back flip.
So armed with these new rules of the street fixie culture, go forth and be cool. Cause thats what it’s all about, right? right?.... OK so that was all a bit sarcastic, sorry. Seriously though, just ride fast, ride safe, give props, and have fun.
To celebrate BMX's move into the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, Nike 6.0 Celebrated in Bejing last week with The Lightening Bolts Art Show and BMX exhibition.
Nike honored Bob Haro, recreating his famous number plate as an artists canvas. Props to Nike for honoring a bike legend such a Bob Haro.
To give you an idea of how much this guy dominates check out this rare footage. I especially like the ET tease... Enjoy.
