L39ion of Los Angeles has a vision for the future of crit racing, and they put on a showcase in the first Into the Lion’s Den race. SRAM had to be there, of course. In this first episode of SRAMtv, they bring us behind the scenes of an incredible weekend in Sacramento, as host, Jen Whalen chats with members of the peloton and takes you inside the race. Big primes, loud jerseys, and equal prize purses: Into the Lion’s Den is crit racing and L39ion at their best. Can you feel it?

The 2015 Red Hook Crit lands in Brooklyn this weekend for the eighth time and while the main race is sure to draw crowds, there are multiple parties and events throughout the week. Check out some of the after and pre-parties below.

This video proses the staging of the Red Hook Crit Milano, prior to the start.

I’d say this is the best RHC Milano video to date, but I wish they interviewed more women about their criterium. Where’s Ash Duban?! Regardless, it’s a well put together documentary about a race that began illegally in the backstreets of Red Hook and eventually, Milano.

The Red Hook Crit always spawns so many videos!

Here’s another video from the 2014 Red Hook Crit Milano, brought to you by Royal Fixed Gear.
