i thought this was pretty sick.

see everyone at monstertrack…

shooting @Brooklyn Banks

The name of the race was definitely an appropriate one. Short race on a Friday-end of the week rush hour traffic. Add 13 checkpoints and you get a dangerous race through NYC, unless you knew what you were doing. Race started in Tompkins square park and it finished at Lakeside Lounge. The riders basically did a big square around midtown rush hour get out the city traffic. Crihs had a early lead but it was quickly taken away by Dan, Raf, Yatika, Lincoln, Kennedy, and JT. After the Sex Museum, that had just enough of a lead to hold it. It was a very fast race with the riders breathing on each others backs. This was the first race in NYC. 5 empire riders rode the race and they all finished in the top 10. The most impressive part for me was not going the wrong way up a packed avenue, but the fact that this was the bike Dan rode…

Remember when new sneakers would make you run faster and jump higher?

so this is the last race before MTX.

by the way, i disagree with raph.

Last weekend was pretty darn cold on Saturday, but Crihs and I still managed to get out to shoot. Sunday was a lot warmer, but unfortunately we weren’t able to coordinate to do it again. So I decided to paint some part of the town red. I met up with John Watson at Affinity, my friendly neighborhood shop. It was mechanic John John’s birthday, and Jason got a keg. Lots of locals were there, and things got a little weird. But no regrets. Tomorrow is a new weekend with great weather again, and lots of shooting to do.
