Hard to watch
While this weekend was fun, there was some tragedy in Brazil. A motorist drove through a Critical Mass on Friday.
I must warn you, it is hard to watch. Very hard. My thought are with those riders.
Here is a link to The Urban County,
which is updating info daily. The driver ran, then turned himself in, Claiming “Self Defense” WTF. 
This is his car, that he abandoned. “Self Defense”, ya sure.
TOLA in the Wild
So good. This weekend was the first time I saw TOLA pins and Stickers in the wild. We need to get more shit going. Hint Hint, Joe.
East West Smash Up: Results
I told ya’ll, it wouldn’t rain. It was cold though, and windy. Big thanks to those 24 brave souls
who came out to race on Saturday! Thanks to Beaver for throwing another great installment of the Smash Up with me.
Can’t wait for next year! Lot of new faces racing, I love it. 
The race was from Mars Vista Park on the westside of LA, to Echo Park Lake on the Eastside of LA and back.
It was about 30 miles+, depending on your route, which could be what ever you wanted. Luckily, someone brought a map so racers could plan their routes.
The winners! Keiron won 1st roadie, and was the overall winner! Riccardo (with two Cs) got 2nd, and 1st fixed!
Hern came in third and 2nd fixed, with Ash getting 4th and 2nd Roadie. They were all pretty close in coming, it really could have been anyones race! Danielle got 1st girl, and Carlos won 1st Grom!
Trafik has a ton of great shots on their flickr!
A huge Thanks to all our Sponsors!

Rider Profile: Danielle Marie
The Homegirl Danielle, will race the shit out of you. The first time I rode/ raced with her was on Wolfpack All-city lll. I saw this rider up ahead just blasting by guys, sprinting, racing all out. I was like you gotta catch up and work with racer. I caught up realized it was Danielle and we just took off really working well together. Then the next time we raced, she helped me win the VCR thanksgiving Alleycat, by doing the same shit, and giving a really good route. I wish I would ride more with her, and see her more. Not only is she super fun to ride with, she also is a blast to kick it with, shit talking the whole time, and giving you the best advice while doing so.
