Dangerous traffic, bad pay and new technologies – Bike Messengers in Downtown LA are becoming an endangered species. This short documentary follows the Last Men Riding.

It was fun while it lasted, but the childish behavior which followed after some discussions about our different points of view about getting sponsored and what to post on FUCCIT, made me decide it is the right time to leave this blog.

I tried to delete my own account, but that’s something the almighty webmaster will have to do.
I guess no doubt Tjeerd will post some dissing posts or comments after this, but I guess that shows what kind of people I have to deal with…

The people that still wanna follow the crap I put online, know where to find me.

Cheers,

Jos

Some of you know Vincent and myself bought a longboard. And I must say although braking is still a problem I really like it. So when I saw this movie I got to post it. It’s a pretty cool movie about a topical day of professional skater Erik Lundberg. The only fucced up thing is the end, nice sunset with his girlfriend. But fucc it, it has a fixie in it and longboards!

Found on FixaCWB!

So today  Jos (formally know as Votske™) organized a ‘FGFS & BMX Trick Jam’. And all I can say it was a BIG success (thanks to his enormous network), the crowd was overwhelming. And because I have never seen more then three trick riders at he same time so it was amazing to see four of them. The tricks they did where ‘out of this world’ as you can see in the video (still can’t sleep so stoked I am). Luckily the BMX crew (ASO) didn’t show up because they would look like schoolboys compared to these guy’s. So I want to thank Jos (formally know as Votske™) for the great 15 minutes i’ve got today. And hope that there is more of this trick shit to come.

p.s. Did I mentioned his Blog, his brand (Votske™) and his sponsors (Selle Royal Origins, The Hundreds, Paradigm Bodyart, Freshcotton, and Brainwash)

[edit] Apparently there where also some photo’s taken from all the action (this link isn’t going to Votske™) [/edit]

I prefer to remember that back in da days nobody would dare to refer to me as being a postbode, the horror. A simple mailman could do a daily round delivering letters, not necessarily in a hurry. As where the topnotch bikemessenger would ride his bike in highspeed all day delivering packages, doing errands and making sure the envelope would be on time all the time and with the certainty of delivery by appointment. But apparently things have changed since I stopped cause nowadays the people at Cycloon have become mailmen?!

FUCCIT is going to change and this picture sums it all up!

Finally we Europeans can watch it too. You all know what I’m talking about so check it out!

I got this tip from @DJDIRTTEDAVE a song by @1stplacemuzic
And I like it because the living room in the clip reminds me of my own. The only difference is that you got to replace the toys for empty beer cans.

Vince got a new bike

This is the last movie you see of Vincent mountain biking with his old Subrosa. And at the end of the movie you see why, “NO BRAKES”. And mad respect for my friend Sam who took the hills like a pro on his single speed.

But soon she gets tired and sets the bike aside….. [More]
