Bicicleta Apoyada Contra la Pared

Fun Ride Through Town

Just a quick spin around Downtown San Antonio on my Redline Monocoq cruiser. Always a blast to ride this bike around and finally getting to editing a few of the clips. Just a test run until I find some editing software I like.
 

Seasons

When the Texas weather is not melting us on our bikes, thankful for a tame winter season so far  to get some miles in. Shot with a Go Pro Max 2, at the Semmes Library Trails in NE San Antonio.

Custom Stem Cap

The beauty of this custom 3d printed stem cap from Ben Ward to fill the stem on my Trek 930 build is the perfect piece to complete the build. And the added Texas on it is the icing on the cake! 

Excellent Rain Today In San Antonio

We have seen some good rain over the past few days. Today's rain was nice and lasted most of the day. Our area really needed it.

Louie Nataal Edit On ESPN

I have known Louie Nataal for what seems like forever. And anytime I am in San Marcos or Austin I always seem to run into Louie and we mange to get some ridding in. Stoked to see this "Big Lou" edit from Charlie Crumlish over on the ESPN blog.

McDonalds BMX Commercial

Last week in the November 1983 BMX Action post I linked something about this McDonalds commercial. Not sure about you, but it really has me craving a cheese burger while I work on my greasy bottom bracket.

BMX Action -- November 1983

And another kick ass cover from BMX Action. Like seeing freestyle taking a cover shot considering how heavy this issue is with race coverage. And even that is fine by me, I like the fact that this is also a cruiser heavy issue.

Great coverage form the NBL War Of The Stars race in Conroe, Texas. The picture of Rob Fehd flying over a set of doubles is such a nice shot. This also happens to be the track that the McDonalds BMX commercial was filmed at.

Scott Clark leading the Pro cruiser class. Nice to see so much 24" race coverage. Pretty surprising to see the Gatorade sports bottle getting a nod though. I am guess sports bottles weren't the rage yet. Wait. Were they ever the rage?

There is one thing that is a guaranty with these older issues of BMX Action, Mike Buff would have some kind of stylish shot. And this opening spread to the CW racing 24" Pro Racer is another fine example of that. Airing it out over the Trick Team quarter pipe.

If you talk or text during a movie at Alamo Drafthouse, then you're going to get thrown out. Dumb ass!

A Fun Day of Hiking

So last weekend the boy and I went for a little hike threw the Greeway Trail at Lady Bird Johnson Park. Nice little day of exploring and finding left over ice from the previous days freeze. We also had a little scare as someone's Pit Bull pup was loose on the trail and he had the high ground on us. We made a clean get-a-way and had a great day exploring. Here are a few pictures taken with my EVO.

Good to see Gary First still riding and kicking ass. Found this over on the Old Guys Who Ride Facebook page. Head over there to check out more, or go over to their website and give them a visit.  http://www.plussizebmx.com/old-guys/

Chris Saldivar -- can-can

Chris Saldivar doing a can-can air at Jack Smith's ramp somewhere in San Antonio. Crazy fun half pipe to ride. I remember something about it having a dip before one of the transitions to be like the dip at the Pipeline Skatepark. HA! It probable just sunk in the crazy south Texas soil.

Homeless "Update"

Managed to get the friends section uploaded to Vimeo last night. This time with the audio. Enjoy.

Ramp add on.

We have a ways to go to getting this ramp fully finished. But just to add a little to it today I took the old slant wall frame from the old set up, ramp was a free-be from San Marcos. Thanks James. But it was in need of a ton of work. As was this slant wall. I re-framed it and squared it up best I could. Even re-used most of the old wood and screws. Just needs a new coat of paint, but that is for another day. This thing is so much fun to ride.

Thanks to Monique for taking the photos for me.
