The Radavist

Kyoichi has been making a series of images showing how to set up a photo shoot for tricks. It’s really great to have someone share their set up and process. Check out the flickr page here where he lays it all out!

I’ve posted about Razzle camouflage multiple times in the past; 1,2 and 3 previous posts.

Now the RISD Fleet Library has an exhibition and lecture series on the WWI camouflage.

“Razzle dazzle” was a form of camouflage used by the US and UK during WWI. Its intent was to cause miscalculation in estimation of the ship’s speed and direction. The visual rangefinders of the time were easily fooled by the contrasting and overlapping geometric patterns. The markings of such camouflage have since then made their way into different forms of artistic expression. Now I’m not sure that artists pulled from ‘razzle dazzle’ as a form of precedent, but the similarity is striking. Here is a beautiful image of such camouflage patterns. Unfortunately, there were no color images of these war ships.

Jeff over at Bike Jerks has been documenting a small company’s preparation for the NAHBS.

The company is Peacock Groove and check out the latest from them!

Including this gnarly GNR disk wheel!

I wish I was going to the NAHBS this year, but unfortunately, MONSTER TRACK X is this weekend!

A little joke Tony and I talked about doing for the raw steel MKE framesets. Yeah baby I like it raw! Looks like we’re gonna be making sticker packs. So keep tuned!

Thanks for the help Eddie!

Sixty Days – Day 16 from glenn weatherson on Vimeo.

Tony shot me over to Zlog to check out this film project entitled Sixty Days. The artist, Glenn Weatherson is documenting his time spent on house arrest.

This is a new series where I will share my day while being stuck in an apartment on house arrest.

That’s right, I will be outside a total of 6 hours per week. Time to get real.

Pretty funny.

I don’t need to point out the naked woman because this picture was already relevant to my interests. Great perspective, focal point and composition. Love the Architecture and the surrealist wall the cyclist is emerging from. Classic Cinelli ads are the best.

Not sure where I came across this, I did just see it on Milano Fixed and HK Fixed though.

From the guy who brought you STREETWEAR! comes Dick Jones….

Keep an eye out for future pieces!

David Perez Shadi is a well-known NYC photographer. His son, Kai is a well-known ripper on the streets. G Shock makes tough-ass watches…. See where this is going?

All you Santa Monica heads better go to this! Including you Kyle.

Superprecise is out of London. Not really sure if it’s a company or just someone making shirts, but I really like what they’re doing.

These pedal shirts look awesome! For ordering information, go here!

How did I miss this? 76 bikes and a real piece of architectural design makes this bike storage facility a piece of work. Very simple, clean and more of an experiment with facade, fenestration and cladding rather than jumping through formal hoops. Well done!

Thanks to the guys at Hipster Nascar for the heads!

At the Many Many Many Many Mey opening I picked up a Gargamel toy that Mishka made for the show. Pretty great. Even though the colors are fucked up in my picture, it’s supposed to be their seafoam and magenta pantones.

I’m not really into Kaiju, but I thought this was a special purchase.

CK came out to Peel Sessions again and snapped a few shots of the guys.

These dudes come out every Thursday regardless of the weather. Thanks for the pics man!

Sasha finally did it. He got an ‘old man tinker’ bike. Not a bad find either. 1950’s Dick Power path racer. From Woodside Queens, the Dick Powers are a local legend. Great catch man. Can’t wait to see the BSA and Chater Lea bits that’ll make their way onto it!

More pics here.

YEAHHHH! Cog.

Good Magazine has an awesome editorial illustration on how much fuel it takes for different kinds of transportation to travel 350 miles.

The Bicycle Film Festival keeps growing and growing each year. Be a part of this growth, make a bike movie! The deadline is March 7

Enter the Ninth Annual Bicycle Film Festival! This annual event’s looking for films with a bike-related theme. Any style’s acceptable: animation, experimental,narrative, documentary and music videos are all a go.

All cities have been selected and dates for NEW YORK are June 17-21. All other dates will be set within the month.

So much for keeping this under wraps. The Chinese Government released this pic of the real reason why the TVCC went up in flames!

Via Curbed.
