Super Ted in Tokyo from John Prolly on Vimeo.

Such a weird coincidence with the last video. I was just digging through my video clips from the 2009 CMWC when I came across this video I shot of Super Ted. He came to Tokyo and forgot his lock so he was borrowing Hal’s backup; a combination lock. We’d hop inside a bar, have a few to drink and come out, only to have Ted forget the combination. Classic!

In case you haven’t picked up on this yet, Super Ted will be at the RVA Fixed / Trick Track event next weekend at the NAHBS. If you needed a reason to go (no idea why you wouldn’t be going), that’s a pretty good one.

Ted, see you next week man!

Alex uploaded these schematics to the River City Trick Jam thread on Trick Track I’m stoked on this event and the fact that the guys are planning so far ahead will only make it better. Everyday someone confirms their attendance; so many people are coming out, it’s going to be like another MWM. Because it’s the NAHBS weekend, there will be all kinds of cyclists in town. It’s also the Death-Pedal 2 premiere, so the entire cast will be in attendance. I hear someone might be coming over from London town. Nothing’s confirmed yet, so no promises!

Matthew from the I Love My Bike Book project sent out an email the other day about some updates to their website. He’s begging to upload some photos from their cross-country journey already. Here’s a portrait he shot of me on Canal street a few weeks ago. Matthew and Brittain will be at the NAHBS this year in Richmond, so if you missed them on their trip, be sure to catch them there.

RVA Fixed is throwing a trick jam during the NAHBS weekend in Richmond. Coming off the momentum of the MWM, the River City Trick Jam is already drawing a crowd. So far Eric Puckett’s coming. I’ll be there as well. Maybe we’ll see another good turnout?

Mr. Erik Noren, aka “Short Shorts”, from Peacock Groove just shot me an email about his new Jury promotion. Here’s a snipped from the Peacock Groove webpage:

“A run of twelve custom track bikes. 1,200 dollars each. This exclusive deal is for the first 12 people who respond. It is open for twelve only, and will only be done if there are 12 who order.These will be made custom to fit you. They will be track bikes!Track bikes only!“

You’ll remember Erik’s work from the Copper-plated Peacock I posted earlier and the G’n’R disk wheel from last year’s NAHBS. I heard a rumor that he’s doing something gilded this year!

Matthew emailed me a few weeks ago to introduce a project he and Brittain were working on. They wanted to travel around the country, documenting cyclists with their bikes and put all of the photos in a book. Seems ambitious right? They’re based in Boston and for the next few weeks the two photographers be traveling all over the United States setting up meetings with cyclists to document their bike and why they love it. The project’s name is called the “I Love My Bike Book”. More information below.

The guys at RVA Fixed have an early jump on 2010 with a new URL and a new website on the way. All there is to see now is this splash page that’s up. Expect more from the guys soon! Remember, the NAHBS is in Richmond this year. I’ll be there and you should too!

I meant to post this earlier, but Monster Track took over. Chris Fonseca sent me an email linking a video Broakland asked him to make for the NAHBS. Pretty good mix of East and West coast trick styles, solid looking bikes and yeah, Porn.

Enjoy.

Jeff over at Bike Jerks has been documenting a small company’s preparation for the NAHBS.

The company is Peacock Groove and check out the latest from them!

Including this gnarly GNR disk wheel!

I wish I was going to the NAHBS this year, but unfortunately, MONSTER TRACK X is this weekend!
