Bicycle Museum of America
On a recent trip to Florida, I stopped in New Bremen to see the Bicycle Museum of America. It was cool, here are some photos of it.
The wheel's bigger than my friend.
Manliest bike award. Created for soldiers, never used.
Homemade snow bike, spikes in the rim, for traction. TOUGH
This was like the early version of Tour De France. More manly, in my opinion
Lance Armstrong's 2004 Tour De France winning bike.
Hand carved
The start of the Motorcycle.
Pee Wee's bike was beat.
Pedal car.
This bike went something like 123mph and had the potential to go 180. It was pulled by a midget for a mile to get up to speed and took 3 miles to slow down. YEAH!
it was only a 53 tooth sprocket.
Mix tape 3 "Lockdown" out real soon haha!

CGI in BMX videos
Troy has this sort of on-going joke that Corey Martinez isn't real, that all of his video parts are completely computer generated he's just a creation of some CGI artists. Anytime you watch a Corey Martinez video with Troy he'll claim this is true b/c Mr. Martinez is always doing the impossible.
Now I'm wondering, maybe Troy is on to something... have you seen any of the Nike video parts yet? Particularly Garrett Reynolds, I don't believe this kid... in-freakin-sane.
Garrett Reynolds
Mike Spinner
Nigel Sylvester
Dennis Enarson
All of the parts are really awesome and definitely worth watching. Nike is going to make the entire video available for download on Nov. 24th; keep an eye on nike6.com/writingonthewall for that.

HTL and The Hills...
My homeboys from Lima, Hit The Lights, had their music featured on MTV's The Hills. Not that I like the show, in fact I hate it, but I'm psyched for them and the exposure. Episode 13, about 4:30 in.
HTL is currently touring the east coast and parts of Canada with Cobra Starship, but in December they'll be co-headlining a tour with Bayside through the UK. Check 'em out if you get the chance... myspace.com/hitthelights

Bikin' in Bean Town...
- Ben, Nate and myself made a quick drive down to Lima today to hit up Faurot Park and a few spots around town. It's always fun when you get to ride fresh spots outside of the same crap you ride week to week. And I hadn't been to Faurot to ride in probably a year or two, so it was awesome to revisit.
Ben - can can air at Faurot Park
NatPow
After riding the park for a bit we took a cruise around town. Biker Ben hoppin' the rail into the bank.
Nate manualing one of the baby rails.
Benny Buster, I mean, derek duster.
Ben had one shot at doing this tuck no-hander gap and he fired it out first go. Too bad I was a little late on the shutter, sorry Ben.
Bonus shots
Nate - gettin' rad
Ben - toboggan air
Ben - table air
