Last night, the Chrome party was shut down before it even began by over-zealous cops and the fire marshall. Not wanting to hang around while groups of cops showed up, we all left. I kept my camera around my neck as a mob of track bikes tore through the SF streets at night…

It’s the last day before the #RideNStyle competition here in SF. I rolled out the the #fixiefamous crowd from the Mission, out to the Embarcadero to see the course and bumped into all the fixed freestyle guys. The following set is all over the place but there are some gems in there!

There’s a lot more coming but I liked these two photos. Simon with the tuck no and Tyler hitting a footplant to bar. I had a lot of fun hanging out at the Island this afternoon and I can’t wait until tomorrow!
I’ve never seen a Red Bull MiniDrome in person before, so last night was a blast for me. The #RideNStyle MiniDrome Qualifier kicked off at 6pm and went on all night as people raced for their best times. Unsurprisingly, BMX and fixed freestyle racers held onto the best lap times but that didn’t stop people from trying their hardest on their track bikes. Racers from all over the world showed up, clipped in and tried to hold on… In the end, Addison Zawada sealed the deal yet again. 904 Fixed representing!

Read this post in a groggy, hungover tone. Yesterday, I kicked around town before the Red Bull event started. TCB Courier now delivers wine, so I witnessed their Dominican delivering to some yuppies and then the rest of the day just flew by, leading into the RideNStyle kickoff. Check out more below.

Today I went by to check out the progress on the Red Bull MiniDrome that’s being set up at Mezzanine for tonight’s qualifier. At 6:00 the MiniDrome opens to competitors, who’ll be racing for a spot to compete during Saturday’s Ride + Style main event. The crew was just putting the finishing touches on the ramp, so I shot a few photos.

The legacy of the Messenger Mansion goes back over a decade. It used to be filled with SF graffiti heads and then over time, local couriers moved in. Now it’s more or less the TCB Courier HQ and I’m crashing here while I’m in town. Bike houses always make great subjects for photography and these photos were taken yesterday afternoon in the waining San Francisco sunlight.

Yes, it’s that time again. Randomness from the streets of SF in preparation for the 2012 Red Bull RideNStyle. Today I met up with Crihs, Marc, Em and Chas over in the Mission and rolled over to Mash to see Mike and Walton. It was unbelievably warm out and for the first time, I finally had a track bike in San Francisco. It’s been fun so far and here’s a photo dump to hold you over for a bit!

Today Crihs took the mighty 12″ Keirin bike for a spin down 14th street. Here he is, concentrating before his descent. More to come…
Hey guys, I’ve been kicking around with the usual suspects. Sorry for the lack of updates today. Expect some more posts soon! In the meantime, follow me on Instagram – JohnProlly – (or just go to the bottom of the site and check out the feed).
I’m way into this project. Zane’s been busting his ass filming and editing clips that he’s shot all over the world. Can’t wait to see the final cut!

The iMinusD team goes hard in their newest video. Everyone’s got some killer lines in here and it’s good to see Matt in front of the lens this go round. Solid as hell guys!

I just spent a weekend in the wilderness, via bike and all I can do is watch this video. Matt Reyes doing his magic on Jonah Kessle for Sadio. So much goodness in here and he’s wearing a helmet. This kid’s a real Ripper.
At this point, I had traveled from Australia, to NAHBS, to NYC and had maybe slept in my bed in Austin two nights in three weeks. So what did I do? I went on a bender, starting with Benders, the best bar in SF. Then the rest of three days I was in town just got melted into half of a Recent Roll.
