Queensday is the biggest street party in Amsterdam which takes place every year on 30th April.
But not only in Amsterdam it’s the biggest party in the whole of fuccing Holland. And it start always the night before so yesterday I went out and met one of our dearest readers. And he asked me if he could sing a song for you guys. Although it has nothing to do with bicycles who am I to refuse?
And now I’m gone cause it’s another day of drinking beer and feel pathetic!
We had one before but this one….?
I mean, I love bike porn but right now we got 22 pages full of it. And this guy (I presume) read them all! Thats fuccing hardcore ‘bike loving’ bro. RESPECT, for guys like you we do all the hard work of searching for it.
Especially for you my sister got naked. So enjoy!
You got to love Woopra!
I’ve should know it, buying a mountain bike was a mistake. The name itself already implies it ‘mountain bike’ and we are living in the fuccing Netherlands! We ain’t got mountains we don’t even got any hills. And to make it even worse we only have bike lanes, nicely paved flat tarmac bike lanes through the woods. So do not expect anything technical in this movie cause these old daddies are taking it slow. But hé we ride fixed so maybe that makes us look cool? Any way I must be an idiot to film this horrible excuse of what I call mountain biking.
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
FUCCIT is going to change and this picture sums it all up!
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.
Well this is the story about me and mister Gary Fisher. When I started as a bike messenger I knew the ‘brand’ Gary Fisher, of course everybody did. But I was not so much into mountain biking so I never bought one.
Then in 1998 I met him for the first time during the CMWC in Washington DC. And damn that was cool, one of the great names of mountain biking comes and visits ‘our’ championship and I spoke him briefly. A couple of years later in 2005, I’m at the CMWC in New York. And who is there also Gary Fisher. This time we spoke a bit longer. And damn he is a friendly guy!
Here is a photo I shot with my (crappy) phone camera of him and my good friend Vincent.
The next day all the messengers met each other in some bar downtown NY. So we where there with at least a hundred of us. And I had to take a piss. So when I went to the toilet I see Gary sitting at the bar. On my way back I try to ignore him cause I don’t want to be the ‘groupie’ kind of guy. But he recognizes me (maybe because of the dreads) and says; “I don’t remember your name but it begins with a T and ends with a D. Do you want to drink a beer from me”. I was surprised but all of you who know me, I love a beer. So we drunk a couple of beers together. And later on Vincent also joined us. We had a great conversation about bikes and all the messenger shit.
And from then on I knew I had to buy a Gary Fisher bike. Now after all those years it finally happened, I bought one. Although it’s technically a Trek (Gary Fisher collection) I still think (and speak about it) as a original Fisher bike.
But we wouldn’t be FUCCIT if we didn’t do something with it. We started riding track bikes as one of the first guys here in Holland. It was in 1998 I believe. And now you see them everywhere. We started the whole bike polo shit here in Holland and it’s taking off. We are too old for doing tricks so Vincent and I came to the conclusion that fixed gear mountain biking will be the next big thing. And of course completely brakeless.
So the first thing I did to my brand new bike was to get rid of all the unnecessary parts (read brakes) and bought a bolt-on cog so I could ride fixed.
Well that’s the story here is the bike, let me introduce to you the Trek Gary Fisher Marlin 29er fixed gear :D
And to Gary, if you read this. The bike rides GREAT!
ps. And no list of parts cause I hate those lists. I ride and it rides damn good.
I had a lovely time in Paris this weekend!
Will post (sponsor free) pics and edits asap on my own blog and a few here at FUCCIT.
Thanks to Selle Royal Origins for making this trip possible!
So this evening Vincent and myself went on a bike ride on our fixed gear mountain bikes to Apeldoorn. To see THE mister Eddy Merckx and to be present at the opening of the Track World Championship 2011. We missed THE Eddy by 10 seconds otherwise we would definitely shook hands. But at least we saw some derny races which were cool.
To bad we had to go and also missed the mini concert of the top artist here in Holland, Jeroen van der Boom.
Just fuccing with you, we where scared when he started to sing and left the building in a hurry!
But here is a little clip I made of one of the races.
So I bought a new bike this friday. And although I was sick this week I wanted to make a test ride with my good friend. Maybe not the best idea as the video shows (or sounds). But still it was a great ride, Vincent on his fixed gear. And myself on my new Trek Gary Fisher Marlin single speed, soon to be fixed!
