Close to 200 showed up with bikes in tote for the ride from Affinity over the Williamsburg bridge to the start of the race.  A few botched checkpoints and some manifest mistakes made for some almost instantaneous controversy at the finish.  To make it short, Afred won, Austin got second, and Crihs was third.  A $500 sprint off at the end between J.T., Filipe, Hugo, and Crihs to smooth over some of the controversy led to J.T. taking the dough.  For a full recap go here.

  I’m glad the Daggers burned down your ramp. You were 1986’s version of Ryan Sheckler. You should have just stuck with team sports like Football or Water Polo. You were too busy dreaming of winning contests and that lame blond to realize that the Daggers were the real deal. Actual skateboarders. Hells Angels. Dangle earrings aside they didn’t give a fuck about money or fame, just the Red Hot Chili Peppers and skateboarding. Lifers, like the rest of us.

As far as that blond goes I hate to tell you this bro, the graphic may have been good but the shape sucked and so did your grip job for that matter. You should have gone after Velvet, she was bangin’! So go duct tape your cast and cry on a hill somewhere alone. The Daggers will be bombing hills 15 deep, hippie jumping cars and doing back flips off of trucks. I hope that doesn’t hurt your vagina too much…

The Era 45 CA Fixed was constructed with cycling in mind.  Heavy suede, thicker canvas, reflective details, and a stronger build all around make for a great shoe to wedge into some toe clips.  Come get at pair.
