Thanks guys.

Also I noticed today the arrival of Pisumo tactics at Polo. At some point, James, Flo and me had a long shoulder fight, riding across half the court glued all together.

RPM they both have crap voices though

...I'm sure you'll all agree that - like a L'Oreal girl - she's worth it.

Thet's Anouck Lepère shot by Robert Wyatt. He shot it in San Diego I think, the bike belonged to the manager of the velodrome.
I met her a while back and told her about the fascination for that picture in the nerdy cycling world... she had no clue

so guys - if it's sunny i shall be there around 2-3PM - who else is coming?

Jennifer Anniston used to be a messenger actually

OK!!!!
now let's do it.
If the weather is nice I suggest a Cantelowes session tmrw (sat 17) at around 2pm. Either we ride together there or we can meet there...

London is easy I think, most drivers (including cabbies) are well-mannered and courteous. Paris is a bit more intense (less space, more scooters, mad peds), and I guess places like Cairo or Bogota bust be even worse...

but mainly: who still uses HANKYs in 2007??

I actually did not do it - the students did it under my "supervision" kindof. They were really good. I just chose fixed gear as a random subject, none of them knew anything about it and that's what I thought would make it interesting.

what do you mean?? Using a cog as a letter!!?

The result of a workshop I did in 5 days with swiss design students about a year ago

check the main font...

saw FLO this morning in the City! He's back from trekking in Norway, China, Iceland etc... Our favorite Polo referee/commentator is back!! He said he was coming on sunday - rejoice.

what about the one on curtain rd./great eastern st? Would need to ask the guards though... but the top floors are always empty.

OK maybe she has a coaster brake.

I'd also like to see how straight she can push that bike holding it like this...

Mr Bungle [quote]Conan [quote]le car [quote]Conan Im fully down for skate sessions.

I also fully recomend MudChute down on isle of dogs, my favourite concrete park in London.

[/quote]

I love Mudchute, its just tight n whippy n fast and awkward and weird. everything i love in skateboarding. Could spend hours there sessioning the small quarters n blocks.

Bowl in peckham is meant to be Rad but havent checked it yet, finsbury park aint to bad for a few hours if its reasonably quiet. Oh and the new London Bridge park looks sick if the age restriction has been lifted by now.[/quote]

Shhhh don't tell everyone about peckham bowl - i loves it and it's all mine! MINE I SAY!!
Can't wait till stockwell's done... Imagine it all smooth - loverly.
London bridge (tower bridge really) park is brilliant if you like tight, whippy and quirky...

Is Tom Crowe the dude with v short hair who wears smiths t-shirts and can do frontside half cab flips into the bank at southbank?
Me and him started riding fixed at the same time i think - when i saw him he had just squared his back wheel on his first fix
and was a bit gutted. Only met him a couple of times but he was genuinely decent.[/quote]

Tom Crowe:

(with me to the left and andypancake to the right)

danger joel stockwell is my local, when it was open i was there pretty much every saturday and sunday. its gonna be sooo good when it reopens, everytime i go past it just looks better and better. last time it was resurfaced it was shit, but this time the people doing the resurfacing are the people who skate and ride it, namely tony and miller, aswell as some others. cant wait till its done though. ill let everyone know and then you can all come down here and skate!

I used to be at stockwell all the time too, we probably saw each other! I even have a "Stockwell Lumps and Bumps" t-shirt made by my friend Rob.

Eager to skate it again - that new surface was really crap and slow..

back to the subject, we actually did a stockwell session a while back with the Fixed gear London guys, plus Mike (trampsparadise), Roxy, and our hero Tom Crowe, who ripped the park on his fixed-gear bike! Pics are on fixedgearlondon.com somewhere.

I've been to cantelowes with him and he can surely motivate you!
