NEW BIKE -SUNDAY FUNDAY FOR FLATLAND????

For the past year or so I have been feeling cramped up on  my flatland bike no matter which frame I was on. I even rode a 19.75" strowler for a bit. It felt better but still not big enough. I was kinda scared to throw down cash to buy a street frame as an experiment. I finally ate it hard one day on my flatware bike and figured out that my feet (size12) as well as the rest of my body 6' 200lbs was too big for these tiny bikes designed for smaller riders.  I went and picked up a 2011 Sunday Funday in watermellon green 20.5" top tube.

New spot at Cabrillo Way Marina in San Pedro, CA.  Epic views, awesome boats, and free parking all day long.

New bike, new spot, old trick. Photo by Chris "Flat Clothing" Day.

THE BICYCLE SOURCE GRAND REOPENING PARTY!!!!!

 Last weekend, I had the chance to go to the grand reopening of The Bicycle Source. That's right, THE BICYCLE SOURCE.  It was a blast, Steve Blackie and Danny Hubbard have something special going on down there. They have recaptured the vibe and feel of the original shop but have taken it many levels beyond in a very short period of time. Picture this, a full service BMX shop with an awesome indoor bike park, lounge, bmx historical/vintage bike museum, and bar-b-que all in one spot. I thought we would only be there for a couple hours or so but ended up there for like 6 hours just talking and reuniting with old friends from my childhood. Here are some pics. They don't do the party  or The Source justice but man I want to talk to my wife about moving to the OC just to be closer to the shop. So much energy there, if Kramer went he would say it's "The place to be". Can't wait for the next event on May 21st. Chris Day of Flat Clothing is having a flatland jam there. Look out! Has to be dope! LOTLIFEBMX.BLOGSPOT.COM will be an official sponsor and stay tuned for lots of coverage. Full story, photos, and possible video footage to come.

1st Ride Flatware Waltz

Finally had some good weather today and got out to ride a little. Flatware frame feels great, kinda reminds me of my old KHE RIP but with a much better warranty and better attention to detail. So far I love this frame. Still have to get used to it, I think my nankai axle is bent. Need to replace that tonight. Heres some pics I took self portrait 10 second timer style.

BO WADE!!!

A few months back me Chris, "Flat Clothing" Day, and Bo Wade met for a flatland session at the old Redondo Beach spot called "The Spot" from back in the old BMXA days. We had gloomy weather all day but had a great session. We rode down to Hermosa Beach after and did not drink beers.

New FLATWARE bike!
