This is why Tom is the most legit in the game!!!!

2010-04-19T15:23:00.000-07:00

Holy Cow! Tom is killing it and the interview is just as rad! My favorite part is what he says about peoples egos! No one is on his level in my book!

Renner got a charge!! Pretty sick! And that my leader with demo cranks
and profile chainringnew leader fork and rebuilt rear chucker to
velocity hub look out for bike checks soon

Another leader fork..

2010-03-24T20:12:00.001-07:00

Took forever to get but finally got it.. Seemed a little differant
didn't have to file the crown as much and it seems a little straighter
when I spin it it's further from the down tube.. Owell well see how
long this one lasts.. Oh and fuck Milwaukee hubs their threads are
weak! Waiting on a velocity hub to rebuild my rear chucker

No spline drive? No problem!

2010-03-24T20:07:00.001-07:00

So since I don't have the $$ for a tree light I Radskids rigged
renners old imperial.. I drilled the whole to a circle instead of an
oval.. Used a cone nut from an old wheel drilled it out so the drive
bolt fit through and it works like a wedge! |>-O right?? Haha i'm
going to do this for Choder and I'll document it better but it totally
works and feels nice and smooth hopefully I can duplicate it!

New dials

2010-03-10T17:27:00.001-08:00

Thanks leader! New dials for the chain tensioners.. Now all I need is
a new fork! Haha

Rendog and I have set this spot up keep an eye out for and edit
featuring this spot! We built it out of parking blocks stacked 3 high
the "ledge" grinds nicely and the kicker is alot bigger than it seems!

Slushy day!

At least it's sunny.... Riiight.

New leader for Shawn!!

2010-02-04T19:48:00.001-08:00

Pretty sweet it feels good rolling!!
Only complaints the chain tentioners are a little difficult to take
the rear wheel off and on.. I got a chrome fork and I think the
plateing is givig the axle nuts trouble clamping down and the big 38c
tires the measure more like 40c rub just a little on the top of the
crown other than that it's pretty nice solid rides smooth and keeps a
straight top tube and rear tire clearance galore! I'm probably going
to file te fork crown a little to fit the tire righ ha I'll post pics
of that soon

2010-01-24T07:13:00.001-08:00

Here's the top 3. Duh!

2010-01-24T00:25:00.000-08:00

If you look real close at the "A" that's a tire mark! Wonka did a
huuige gap to wallride from the wedge at least 7 feet high! And 8 foot
gap! Fuuck it was big! Tom 180 and 360 the tallest ledge in the park!
Soo good! His run got cut short by a blown tire but still earned 1st

2010-01-09T07:51:00.000-08:00

Straight from Prollys blog "It has been confirmed from a reliable source that Kozo, the Japanese pro-BMXr turned fixed rider, who lands flat ground tailwhips, has landed a backflip on a fixed gear. I doubt this will be in a web-edit, so expect it to be a forthcoming project. I'm stunned man. Say what you will about fixed 26" MTB frames, that's still impressive as hell."

WOW!!!

The RVA Fixed dudes have been all over the internet and this spot they built im assuming looks mega fun. Shawn we need to find some where to make something like this1

this is my mid 80s CIOCC..
it had a horrible, terrible, ugly paint job on it when i bought the frame and fork. it was sparkle red and black with "extreme designs" decal on it.. sorry no pictures :/ but i took some stripper to it and got rid of the 80s nasty paint and painted it black and beautiful (everyone has to have a black bike) its also a dedication to modern life is war's song D.E.A.D. R.A.M.O.N.E.S its got black vinyl with decals of that song title. its set up with a zipp disk rear and an old zipp 440 front. campy pista cranks old cinelli bar and stem turbo saddle and black toshi double straps. pretty fun to ride and fairly light about 18 lbs, everyone should ride a disk in the street haha

bike bummer mondays:(

2009-09-14T20:30:00.000-07:00

bike bummer mondays are all about bad shit that happened through the past week..
for example today we had the first dead bird.. (broken cardinal) turnsout when your seatpost is smaller than a 27.2 seat tube and you clamp it down anyway you break your frame.. cough cough elgin throat clear.. yea and when you do nose bonks on wall for hours at a time you break your track fork... and then theres when your pedal hates your cranks and strips out and wollers out your drive side.. BIKE BUMMERS!! all lead to better greater things new bikes new cranks new forks and new thing for later bike bummer mondays.. 700cmx kills track parts. "basicly" says rendog.

hard to see but there are barricades set up as a wall ride

RAD'S KIDS

2009-09-12T08:49:00.000-07:00

RADSKIDS is a group of indianapolis cycleist who ride bikes for fun nothing super serious but at the same time bikes are a huge part of their lives. everyone involed rides nearly everyday either for work or entertainment. RADSKIDS started out as 3 friends rididn track bikes in downtown indy and being the few first kids riding downtown we started soing alleycats sbc nobody else was doing them so myself (shawn) and a since retired radskid founder(haha) planned an alleycat we flyered for a week in advance putting flyers everywhere all over campus and downtown at every bike rack we could find.. race day came and we had a total of 7 riders including a now good friend Burd Phillips and a handful of guys who would later become good friends. the winner of indy's first ever alleycat was a very unassuming Mike Runge. honestly when i first saw him i giggled to myslelf over his clipless shoes on a schwinn conversion and a tiiiiny gear. but he proved to be extremely fast! later i found out he was an ex chicago messenger! haha! shit i felt like an ass. i wish he hungout more today. so if you see a spokecard made of marvel comics they were at the first ever indy alleycat. radskids is full of great friendships, fast riders and impressive trick riders.

Rad Skids Blog Is Up!!!!

2009-09-12T08:23:00.000-07:00

Shawn and myself have talked about making a Rad Skids blog for a while now and I have some downtime today so Im making one! This week has been pretty eventful. Thursday Cole, Shawn, Mark, Zach, Kody, Ben, and Jake all went to Bloomington to ride with Jason for the ShowUp hangout Thursdays! The tricks were getting pretty insane followed by an intense game of footdown. Kodeman happened to taco some poor kids wheel, it was gnarly!

Then last night was the first stage of the Tour De Franzia. Sprints were held on East Street and actualy had a decent turnout. The results were as follows,
1)Mark Alford
2)Richard Bate
3)Doug Gigowski
4)Sam Jackson

Mark has also been bumped up to cat 3 on the track go Mark!!!!
