Looks like the Hole Shot event was a huge success! Dan from Portland Design works was so stoked on it that he sent me over a link to some photos. Looks like a kick-ass time. Check out Jose Sandoval's Flickr set right here.

Matt Rice put together a quick little edit showcasing the 2010 Velo City events at Hellyer ( @Hellyer ). Nicely done and am I the only one that thinks freestyle comps at velodromes are kinda rad? Would be great if the kids tricking were racing as well.

Luke from the 5th Floor is embarking on a 1000 mile journey. Well, more of a pub crawl. He's doing this on a tandem and he's calling it Pedaling for Pints. Here's the information on this awesome fund-raiser!

Essentially it's a 1000 mile pub crawl from John O’ Groats to Land’s End tasting the finest ales Britain has to offer... on a tandem. We’ll be cycling 70-100 miles a day, visiting breweries, camping in pub gardens and blogging along the way...

We’re raising money for Wheels for Wellbeing, a charity who encourages and supports disabled people cycling in London. Everyone that reads your blog knows exactly how much enjoyment cycling brings to them and I think it's a great chance to help give less-abled people that opportunity...

Help out here.

It's kinda insane to see the momentum at which the FGFS scene is growing. With each event, the bar gets raised higher and higher. Like Taylor's massive 180 toboggan illustrates, it's almost unbelievable how fast all the riders are progressing. The All City Championships this year was the perfect catalyst for progression and Shakes O'Meara was there catching all the action. Check out this and other photos at his Flickr!

For his forthcoming race, Hern got Mike Bertino to whip up one killer race flier. Future details as events warrant at Hernian!

This Saturday, at Post Bikes in Bushwick, OSS will be premiering their new DVD entitled Football. Make it out for this one NYC. Brooklyn-born BMX companies need your support. Then, on Sunday meetup for a group ride / filming session.

What do these 4 Independent Fabrications crown jewels and Rapha's Cycling Club have to do with each other? One thing: competition. If you've ever wondered who the fastest mechanic in NYC is, tonight's event at the RCC will offer up a definitive answer.

Don't miss it! I'm going to swing by for a few minutes en route to the Chrome VIP party.

So I wasn't going to post this but I wanted to remind everyone about the Chrome flagship store opening this Saturday in NYC. While not everyone can attend the VIP party (sorry!) on Thursday, August 26th, the general public can attend the Grand Opening party on Saturday. As a reminder, here are the details:

A Grand Opening celebration on Saturday, August 28 from 12:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. for the general public will feature free food delivered around the neighborhood by roller derby legends The Gotham Girls, DJ Sean S.K.E. spinning records and limited edition Shadi T-shirts with the first 100 purchases.

Here's an update to the Philadelphia Bike Exposition that's coming up at the end of October. There will be a fashion show and a swap put on by NY Bike Jumble, along with the bike expo. A lot of great builders will be there and a small group of us are probably going to ride there from NYC. If you're down, we'll be posting updates and information for that ride shortly. Oh, it's on Halloween so it'll be interesting!

NYC's Bridge Battle is one of the most grueling alleycats in the US. Yesterday, a ton of racers came out to give it their best and Doug from Hardcourt Bike Polo was there with his camera shooting photos. Check out his set here and the checkpoints below.

The fun starts tonight! Don't miss it.

Flier for the @PhillyBikeExpo

Big ups to Bilenky for putting this on. I'll be there. Will you? As a special promotion, if you follow @PhillyBikeExpo on Twitter, you get the chance to win a @bilenkycycles t-shirt!

Fresh off the Bike Jerks press are the All-City Championships trick comp results:

The comp went off really well and some very sick tricks were thrown down, huge 3's, a 540 on the quarter, and Boothby threw down a truck driver. It was pretty amazing, and I'm super stoked to have had all these California boys make the trip to the Midwest. I don't have much for photos as I was busy organizing and running things, but other folks do and as they come out, you'll get to see what I mean.

Damn Boothby truck drivers? Holy shit. Awesome! Bummed I missed out. Just couldn't make it this year. Sorry Jeff!

Oh shit. I love it when race organizers make videos. So much better than a flier! Peep this promo video for the Scumbag Invite. Want the details? They're below.

This is one of the best spokecard designs I've seen in a while. Leave it to Mash and Pristine to be the minds behind it for an upcoming alleycat in Amsterdam on the 21st of August. Check out more details here, at the Mash blog. Jeroen did a bang-up job on this one!

Carb load tonight for this race tomorrow in LA.

This news has been floating around the NYC cycling channel for some time now and I alluded to it earlier today in my Ask Prolly entry. Chrome is officially opening their first flagship store on the east coast at the end of August. Check out the official press-release below, including information on their opening reception.
