PentaPista

2009-09-01T00:30:00.000-07:00

Yes, i know its been a while's since i've had to post what's been going on...
We have new designs available now the production hiccups have been resolved, and more racing planned...
Whilst trying to cope with the burgeoning workload of my *previous* employment, we've tried to help out with prizes for a few of the all*ycats or fixed gear events recently...RCFix in Portland, PentaPista in Leeds, Edge of Tarckness in London, Doom in MCR to name a few... one half of CGS even got to do some racing...
Here's a couple of shots from the recent PentaPista fixed gear event in Leeds... a most excellent event hosted by Fixed Gear Leeds' Sam and Max, and made even better that i managed to run second in the main race...

The Fantastic 4

2009-08-28T09:20:00.000-07:00

I've just heard from Nasty, that he's landed himself 8 copies (better make that 2...) of the brand new, crisp, fresh off the press, Fixed Magazine Issue #4 whilst on a day trip in London. If you want a copy from him, make sure you let him know ASAP, because peeps will want em' and there isn't a lot to go around, so give him a shout.

Over the next few days we should have pictures of the new t-shirts, that are being printed as we speak, up on the blog with info on what sizes/colours are available, and also details on the up and coming "Fixed Drift" will be released in the coming weeks, so keep your head up.

OLW

Whats Ma Mutha F***'n Name...

2009-08-10T16:56:00.000-07:00

The cantgoslo team have invited me to start trawling the internet for the coming and goings of the fixed gear scene in the northwest.

I'm gonna try and post info as often as I can, there's also some brand new t-shirt designs going into the printers...

Keep checking back for some awesome new stuff coming through!

Also keep your eyes peeled for "Fixed Drift"... Coming Soon...

Peace

OLW

whoever's scoping the site from lake monger drive in perth - thanks - it brought back some memories...

its also really nice to see that perth is finally hosting this year's acmc, something i was kinda involved in organising many, many years ago... and i'm really proud to to have been part of a scene that has continued to grow in strength and unity...

i used to messenger in perth for a few years before the threat of skin cancer became too real, the dooring i got bust my leg. and the lure of earning money back home became to big.

happy days of getting inebriated at the city hotel on a friday after work, rowing with a pursuit interceptor in hay street subiaco, hustling darryl about old school track frames in cyclemania, standing by at 77 and 200 sgt, otcha's excellent rocket fuel at 216, spending hours and hours at the speed dome riding the boards, the little creatures time trial, having a year round crap bike tan and holding a whole season of alleycats that have prolly been forgotten about in the mists of time

i really cant believe it was ten years ago...

2008-08-10T05:05:00.000-07:00

rumours abounded this was going to be a tough one. not really... it was a mere twenty miles, two manifests with a total of seventeen checkpoints

1: jason cattermole

fifteen minutes later...

tie 2: clarky and mike

tie 4: lil' dan and adam

6: the original liam walsh

dfl: lee

dnf: richard the pink scouse - flat, milhouse - awol, will - too much cake...

dq'd: luke - failing to get manifest signed at 1st checkpoint, not reading second page of manifest, generally being obnoxious and not even bothering to complete the course

a rather poor turn out for this event, i was expecting at least another half dozen of the usual suspects to make an appearance... so whats up with mcr messengers? noone seems to be arsed any more... or is it that y'all scared the fakengers are gonna show you up?

never mind. it was great see some of the bmx locals turning up riding fixed and doing pretty well

jason took the win he so rightly deserves...

he'll be heading down to london, on a round trip ticket courtesy of clodge, to represent the newly formed team cantgoslo at london calling. mebbe he'll save some of his prize money so he can have tea with a queen...

thanks to our marshals: lil chris and mo, zero and tim, rose and lei-mai (and their lovely friend), harry at central skate park, finally ben an nesstar

thanks to the sponsors: clodge for putting up his ticket after the supposed main sponsor "disappeared", cantgoslo for shirts and london calling registration, bicycle boutique for various bits of bike stuff

finally managed to get back on the track last monday. great to be learnt how unfit i am these days.

it was a much more enjoyable experiance compared to last time... too early on a saturday after a late night and a rather inappropriate nitto stem on the merckx for manchester's banking...

the track rookies appeared to have a whole heap of fun too
