Like most of you might know, Iron Aden is a professional photographer and he’s doing a fixed gear themed portret serie. Today I was the first to get in front of the camara, but he’s looking for way more riders to do the same. Here’s his “advert”:

Hello Mensen…

Omdat ik nu Studio mogelijkheden heb wil ik graag een serie Portretten maken over Fixedgear, Polo en altijd de harde werkende fietskoeries. Hier heb ik JOU bij Nodig!!!

Voorbeelden zijn www.roxyerickson.com (bikes and ally cats) alleen ik ga mijn eigen draai daaraan geven.

Lijkt dat je wat en wil jezelf goede foto’s hebben reageer dan even.

stuur maar door naar alle Mess en Faks die je kent;)

More pics after the read more thingie..

more…

… and you should be frightened!

With a “minor” fault on the cup…

We (Schilham, Skitch and yours truely) had to fight hard for the getting the titel, against the other teams and against our hangovers, but we did it!
Team Polotov Cocktial is the new and first Dutch Champion Hardcourt Bike Polo 2009!

Alleycat will be sponsored by Brainwash!

Finally, the details:

Racers will meet at the Kerkplein in Arnhem around 8.30 pm for the usual chatting, shaking hands and blah di blah.
The alleycat will start at the Kerkplein at 9 pm.
As always, bring a bike, bag, pen, lock and a wallet with some money in it.
Cheating will not be possible, every checkpoint is manned and at every checkpoint you’ll get some kind of proof you’ve been there.
So it’s just hardcore racing with a lot of luck involved, ’cause every next checkpoint will be choosen by a wheel of fortune.

So be nice this month and keep your karma clean!

It will be cool if you’ld mention in the comments if you’re coming to race or not, so I can make sure there are enough manifests.
More details about the whole weekend and parties can be read in the first post.

Here at FUCCIT we have a perfect homecourt, smooth concrete, the right size, etc.
Since FUCCIT is asked to organize the polo tournament at the ODCMC, I thought it would be nice do a “generale repetitie” the day after the Russian Rouletteycat, so people can both race and play polo. Like I said in my first post about this weekend, this will be the first (or one of the first) time for a lot of teams to play against other teams. So if you come to Arnhem the second weekend of August, you’ll still have some time to practice and make some tacticle changes to your team untill you play at the ODCMC. With this little tournament, Le Haute and MalleT also have a change to see how many teams might wanna show up at the real deal, ’cause they’ll be running the polo tournament at the ODCMC in Groningen. So if you please be so kind to mention in the comments if your team is coming on the 9th, that would be great.
I already know there’s a team coming from the AFG crew, and I guess there will be a team from the EHVFXD crew and maybe the team we FUCCIT boys already played against in Eindhoven. So Rotterdam, are you guys coming? Arnhem will be present with at least 3 teams, so bring it on!

The day will be very easy:

• (12.30 pm – Teams coming by train can be picked up by a local guiding them to the  new FUCCIT Homecourt)
• 1 pm ’till late – Depending on how many teams show up, groups will be made, or we’ll all play in one big group. Within each group, every team will play against every other team in their group. We’ll play according to the FUCCIT rules, with some changed ECMC2009 rules added: first team that scores 5 goals wins, with a maximum of 15 minutes per game. Winning teams gets 3 points, draw means each team gets 1 point, loosing gets you 0 points. If enough teams show up, the best 4 teams go on to the semi finals, the loosers of these 2 games will play the “loosers final” for places #4 & #3, but if we haven’t got enough teams, we’ll move on the the finals right away. The winners of the semi finals or the best two teams from the first group, will play the final for places #2 & #1!

Since I wanted this tournament to be free, you’ll have to bring your own beer, drinks and food. Supermarkets in Arnhem open at 4 pm on sunday, so keep that in mind… Frituurs are very near, you can choose between 4 or 5 ones within a 5 minute radius.

Most of you might already know Skitch and I (Votske) spin some records as DDD, but this saturday it’s the first time I’ll spin those records solo as Josh de la Digue. So if you’re into a nice party where I’ll spin the finest German electro, Brazilian baile funk and old school house, come to the Orewoet club!

Charge Bike Co has a new feature on their website: My Charge Bike.
And my Plug is on it too!

We might not all be graphic designers like MalleT, but since I’m a Feyenoorder (THE best football club from Rotterdam and The Netherlands) I had to join the Rotterdam Fixed Gear jersey design contest with this design!
