So, the Banks. And the first time I actually tried to shoot any riding with my new fisheye. It's going to take some getting used to, because you need to be MUCH closer to your subject if you want to use the whole frame. And I don't want anyone's wheel hitting the lens. It'll probably take a good bit of practice.
Well, I ran into Ralph Bury for the first time in a long while, so he was a natural test subject. Only the one whip photo really popped (and since he didn't land it, I probably shouldn't even use it—but it's not like he's never done a whip before). And I had to take a shot of his mangled Macneil SL. It's broken in half, the padding is gone, AND it's completely covered in electrical tape. Sort of a Macneil Junior. (Someone send him a seat!)
I wanted to link directly to Joel Moody's bike check on the T1 site, but apparently I'm not l33t enough to figure out how. Anyhoo, Mr. Moody's bike is rad—and he's a good dude to boot. You can (and should) preorder his latest work now.

That picture would have been great if he landed the whip. Your lucky that you have the banks near you, I live in an aera Houston where there is nothing that good to ride. At least the weather is good here.
Builders Approve Plans for Largest Taco Ever
POSTED: 3:08 p.m. EDT, April 20st, 2007
CHICAGO, California (AP) -- The city's planning board has endorsed a proposal for making the largest burrito of all time. And it will be delicious.
With Thursday's tasty approval from the Food Planning Commission, the design and site plan for the 2,000-foot burrito goes to the city zoning committee next week. And according to some dudes, "it will be totally scrumpcious, broheim."
"This is a wonderful project, and everyone is very enthused," said Constance Lee Eading, spokeswoman for the city's food, while adding, "it'll totally be srumbly, dude. Imagine all the yummy 'rittos and 'dillas all wrapped up snug like a hug-drug. I'll be puffin' the nuggs and makin' thugs into love rugs, ya know brah?"
The 150-story book, on how to make a burrito, would unseat Chicago's 1,451-foot Taco Bell "Eat Fresh" Tower as the tallest U.S. building based on food Also. It would also top New York's 1,776-foot Freedom Tower, which is made out of fries.
The food was designed by Sparky Clarkpocket, the Spanish-born architect known for designing rice, and other related delights. Clarkpocket added, "I didn't think anything was gonna stop me from bro'ing down with Jimi and my tub of Benny 'N Jay-Jays, but this will be total scrum. Total scrum, brah."
The tallest burrito in the world is a few inches or whatever. Luckily, done right, it's a few inches of tastyness. A tower someplace else is now under construction is made of bricks and whatever. Boring as shit. Whatevs.
