Fixed Mag 12

I just checked out Kelli’s article in Fixed Mag 12 and I gotta say, it’s pretty great. Jen and Ace‘s photos, Kyle‘s interview, her Affinity Kissena and Kelli doing her thing is worth the check out. Pick up a digi copy at Fixed Mag!

Jake Ricker: Crihs at CMWC Track Day

Photo by Jake Ricker

If this photo looks strange to you, it’s because Crihs is going against the number one rule of track cycling: let the people in front do all the work. Dude, what are you doing!? Whatever got intio Crihs’ head worked for him that day, as he landed on the podium for a few events. See more of Jake’s photos here, at his Flickr.

Out of All the Olympic Track Racing Photos

I think this one is my favorite. It really captures the spirit of competing for your homeland. Check out more from the Women’s team pursuit here and Chris Hoy’s victory on the track here. Great Britain really has the all-star track cycling team.

Chemical Brothers ‘Velodrome’ – London 2012

Crystal CG, the animators for this video say that:

“Crystal has created a three minute animated sequence for the song’s promotional video to match its heart-pounding rhythms. Played in the Velodrome before every session the video shows the Velodrome as never before, literally pulsating with excitement.

“We’ve created sweeping contours and sleek surfaces as the backdrop for an intense, futuristic cycling ‘duel’ as two animated riders power round the track,” said Darren Groucutt, creative director at Crystal. “It truly brings the Velodrome to life.”

James O’Brien, LOCOG Head of Sports Presentation, said: ‘Inspiring people to engage with sport has always been central to our vision and we want to ensure the way we present sport adds to the experience of the spectators in the venues and builds the atmosphere. This will be a special summer and we are grateful to everyone who has given their time and expertise over the past years.’”

I say they’ve created track racing for Tron. Pretty rad!

NY Times: Feature on Track Cycling and Hold Fast

I awoke this morning to see this article on the NY Times called How to Win: Track Cycling. No less than 30 seconds into the video, the rider slides his foot into a pair of Hold Fast FRS. How cool is that? I know the US team has been using these for some time now. Maybe it’s time for a special edition track racing pair? At any rate, check out the full article on the NY Times Interactive. It’s well worth the watch and read!

Sideburn Issue 11 on Dernys

This is quite the image and I’m glad Death Spray Custom posted it because I would never have considered picking up an issue of Sideburn magazine before. Has anyone seen the full article? Is it worth the purchase? So rad…

60 Years at the Käpylä Olympic Velodrome

I scooped this one off Affinity’s blog. Sinda Jukka is a long-time Affinity supporter and he just sent Jason these photos from an afternoon at the track, where the locals raced to celebrate 60 years of the Käpylä Olympic Velodrome in Helsinki.

Grain is good. See the rest of these lovely photos here!

I’m a little late on some of these posts but Neil sent along his photos from the GSC Grand Prix at Encino Velodrome and I had to share. Check the rest out here.

Golden Saddle Cyclery Grand Prix

I like good vibes, track bikes and races, which about sums up this video from the Golden Saddle Cyclery Grand Prix at Encino Velodrome:

“Golden Saddle Cyclery hosted an amazing day of races to raise funds for the Encino Velodrome. The races consisted of a 3 category Omnium as well as a separate sprint race. Aside from racing, the highlight would have to be the camaraderie and the amazing food prepared by Todd of Burrito Project fame. Golden Saddle would like to thank the racers, spectators and all of our sponsors who donated prizes to help keep this amazing facility open. A special Thank You goes out to Keiron, of Ride The Black Line, for throwing this great event and allowing us to participate. Make sure to make it out to the rest of the summer series going on through out the months of July and August.
