Time suck.

While purging the inbox this morning I came across a bag of goods. First a couple photo's of JHK after a training ride dog attack. Rumor has it the culprit was a poodle. Stock up on tetanus and rest up Jeremy.

Have you ever been to RAY'S? Me neither but posters like this make me want to hop in the car and rip down 90 as fast as it was killed. Unfortunately this poster was rejected before the talented Mr. John Rockwell of LEFTY LEXINGTON Design, Mfg. toned it down with a wall breaking hand pulled 3 color shot. God bless 'Merica!

Recently WE teamed up with WIRED magazine to collab a limited P1 madone. While the Wired boys led the design concept our fearless leader MIKEY P. directed the production. The result is a fancy schmancy speedster with a Wired "past bindings" inspired graphic. To further the relationship Mikey was invited to create an ILLUSTRATION for the magazines most recent issue. Isn't it beautiful when we all get along.

While the boys over at LIMITED HYPE also covered the Wired project they managed to find time for the Lance DISTRICT. Despite my indifference with the color yellow I was stoked to see my ORIGINAL design touched with peinture jaune. It's hard to argue with matte bits to match, PAUL levers, and the exclusive yellow GATES belt.

The Chief.

While Airport hopping to NATIONALS Marko and JAMES ran into a familiar face. A face that is surely tattooed into our long term memory.

While many of our classmates grew up idolizing the giants of the "All American" sport we ventured a different route. With parents who insisted to build structures for us it was inevitable that we'd master the art of molded ply and rolling polyurethane.

From the way he'd tweak a melon to his video music selection the Chief had an inherent style. Jamie Thomas is the giant of the All American sport.

Still my Favorite: WTH.

Possibly the BEST part yet.

The melon TWEAK, @ 1:16.

The inherent STYLE, @2:05.

More STYLE @ 3:39.... I encourage you to stay until the end.

The GIANT!

Pushing lifting.

I live for this shit. Deep powder turned callous. The unyielding winds portraying the face of our keeper. Vehicles turned upside down due to the stupidity of the operator... or accuser. Oh well. I killed our driveway with a shovel despite A's attempt to convince me a snow blower is the route. I enjoy hard manual labor as much as my father or his trailing ancestors. There's a reason we have XX size clothing. Ok, not to detract from this phenomenon we call snow. It's amazing how people freak out about it. I pushed a lady out of the ditch the other day who had no idea of how to steer her own car. It was a riot as she almost hit my parked car on the way out. Anyway, I spent the past day getting buff on snow and the last 4 hours drawing Subaru's. It's about time I get after these regional teams WE'RE sponsoring. Getty up!

Grunting pushing.

Music high, tracking cranked to fast, head down, grunting, pushing through. Assaulting aesthetic, settle for nothing. Gobs of excitement cranking from my machine. Fighting the good fight... PROOF.

Bask.

I used to take more photos... when blogging was more of a priority. I was motivated. Motivated in a different way then I am today. We hosted Thanksgiving at our home. Both sides of the family and I failed to take photos. The Saturday after Amanda was off to the hospital for work leaving me to roam. I enjoyed the natural light while drinking my coffee in silence. I cleaned up a bit before taking a couple of photos. Nothing to get excited about. A lack of perspective captured in my own home. Does that even make sense? I guess I want people to see what I see or want them to see. That's the beauty of the photograph and typing words into a blog post... as selective as we want to be.

Not long after I took a pedal. Cutting through the local avenues only to be slowed by the blaze of police vehicles and yellow tape. Turns out a boyfriend shot his girlfriend because she refused sex in the early morning hours. The man was drunk and in addition to shooting his girlfriend shot his two children in the head. Happy Thanksgiving.
