Orange 20 Bikes

It's raining here in LA - hallelujah! I love the rain - it reminds me of the east coast. It's always sunny and warm here in LA, and it can make a person feel guilty when they're not 'taking advantage of the nice weather'. So, sometimes I feel like I'm being lazy. (But I also miss playing in the rain a little, too!) And, if you want to hang out in front of the boob tube, catching up on some couch time, rain can be all the excuse you need.
We've got an answer to your 'what to watch now' dilemma... That's right, bike porn! We've got copies of Bootleg Sessions for all you trick stars on track bikes; Summer of Fit, Stoked on Being Pumped - filmed in high def, Etnies Grounded, Rodeo Peanut, and many more for the BMX heads; for the huckers and mountain riders, we've got New World Disorder 8, Trials is Dead, the Chain Reaction box set, Roam, plus a few more action flicks; and for the roadies, there are copies of Stars and Water Carriers/The Impossible Hour, the '07 Tour de France, the '07 Paris-Roubaix, eat!sleep?bikes! - a short by local filmmaker Sasha Perry, and a couple more titles.
If you're looking for a free video online, it's amazing what you can find on the web these days. In addition to "Nowhere Fast" listed in the last post, I also found Primo's "Made in Taiwan". It came out around the same time as "Nowhere Fast" and featured a couple of the same riders. (I used to lose to Chad DeGroot every time we competed against each other. Thank goodness his riding style is so awesome... Nowadays, he runs a rad shop and park down in Florida, Mesh Skatepark.)
And to leave things on a light note, here's a picture from the Brew Tour this past summer - Craig from Boston and Noah from San Diego showing us that technique and beer aren't the only things that matter in a proper game of Bocci...style is key, too!
