Dah Shop One Year Anniversary

What, you thought this blog was dead?

Well, it might be.

But in the meantime, check this out. Maybe it'll wake this site back up.

Flatland Jam Part II

10 more photos.

The most amazing thing I saw—and I don't think I got a shot of it—was the guy on the yellow Strowler pedalling standing up with no hands. Think about that for a second, or even go try it if you like. But I'd recommend padding up first.

Flatland Jam

There was a flatland jam in Tompkins Square Park yesterday. Probably 20 riders, many of them rolling and spinning all day—one doing so despite a fatally-tweaked frame. They gathered from all points in the New York metropolitan area, obviously, but also from Pennsylvania and Canada and elsewhere. It was not a contest.

I brought my camera. Here's 10 shots for now, with more to come later this week.

Down With The King

My laptop is.


And I'm posting from it right now, which is surreal in a not-very-surreal kind of way.

Name every sticker on there and win absolutely nothing.

400 Degreez

Man, it's hot as hell out there.

Take Me to the Top

I may write SPRFLS (updated daily!), but at heart I'm just another trend whore. So when I saw that topload stems were making a comeback, and thought about how a little more rise would help my 37-year-old back, I went digging in the crates:


Much better.

P.S. I'm gonna try and start updating this on a weekly basis, at least. It might not be much sometimes, but what the hell.

Flickr.

Started a Flickr page where I'm just going to start uploading everything, riding or not. We'll see how long THAT lasts. It's over at http://www.flickr.com/photos/russbengtson/.


Not gonna quit this blog quite yet, though. Then again, if it keeps raining every day, I might never take a riding photo ever again.
