I Love this dude! He is at all the NE Cross races. I think his "drum"/5 gallon plastic bucket blew out this weekend though. I really do- I saw him scratching his head and looking at the holes in it. He is actually a heckler extraordinaire from nycross.com The First vid is from Gloucester Day 2. Monkey Man is in a tree. In the 2nd he chases J-Pow up a hill. Look at Jeremy bunny hop those barriers! Read Full Story
Now I am 5'2". I realize that I am rather short, but geez I'm not a flippin' midget. Compared to Kona riders Barry Wicks and Ryan Trebon I am. Read Full Story
Above is a pic I took of Jesse at the end of the race on Saturday. Was white a good choice for him? I don't think so. He still rocks though. Wearing all white on Saturday was a major fashion faux pas considering the 8 inches of mud he had to ride through. The pic above is from Yesterday. Guess he wised up. Jesse Rocks! Totally true story: After my husband hosed off his bike and brought it back to the car; he was still picking gunk out of the derailleur. He pulled out a living worm. How cool... Read Full Story
It's official. I saw this with my own eyes and took the picture with my own Sony Cybershot. Rasmussin will be pedaling sans one claw.....errrr....foot. If he is STILL ALIVE that is. Here's my theory: Emaciated Chicken Boy was at the Mercer Gran Prix of Cyclocross this past weekend. It was very cold and VERY muddy. I think that one of his claws got stuck in the mud and just cracked off. Then (there are a lot of dogs at 'Cross races, you see) a dog sniffed it out- dug it up, brought it down... Read Full Story
This is Tom Hopper. He is mechanic for Slipstream Chipotle. He is also an awesome Cyclocross Rider and a very nice guy who didn't mind chatting after riding for 40 minutes in mud-wind-and cold. He is usually based in Girona and loves traveling with the team during the season. He's a real sweety. Below is another lamo youtube. This time, being a dumbass, I deleted the vid, so it's just photos, but it gives you a feel for the course conditions. Terrible- or Great (depending on perspective... Read Full Story
Yesterday was awesome. Got to see and meet all the big names up close an personal. It was muddy as hell, but at least the rain held off while we were there. The riders struggled. Except for Tim Johnson who has always said he thrives in mud. Anyhow, check out this lame youtube, and I am off to the races again. Read Full Story
See Helen, this is what you could be doing when you get out of Uni. Of course it will have to be in the off season because you'll be at all the Grand Tours during the season and will of course remember all of the little people who knew you before you became a big-time photographer. Read Full Story
VdV wins the 1st annual Pirates Week Invitational Circuit! Go Christian! I wonder what kind of shwag he gets? A parrot? An eye-patch? Maybe a bottle of rum? Yo Ho Ho! Read Full Story
Someone want to tell me why Dan Martin (a fine young Irish lad after me own heart) had to wait in LINE to get his Best Young Rider's Jersey at the Tour of (Irish Haters) Portugal? I mean....just look at how ticked he looks as he waits in line with a bunch of stuck-up podium girls who are also in line to get their new bouquets. Either that or he's never been around so many hot chicks and he's thinking "ZOMG! Should I ask one for a date? But they're all like 6 inches taller and 20 lbs heavier... Read Full Story
