This is what bombing down the Manhattan bridge on my bike at 3am looks like after 10 rounds of various birthday shots and who-knows-how-many-beers last Friday night. Wait, maybe it felt more like this.

This is Oliver’s lovely fuckin’ Yamaguchi. I’ve seen a lot of bikes over the years, but this thing blew my mind. It truly is a one of a kind, not “limited edition”, I mean there is probably only one of these in existence. The rear seatstays are a fork-like design and the seat tube contours inward to allow for a shorter wheelbase. While there really is no design feature on this bike that other companies haven’t incorporated into their own track bikes on some level, in my opinion, very few people do it like Koichi Yamaguchi. The details are just sick, everything seems considered, and its rad to see someone doing their craft at such a high level. Interesting side note, I was watching this beauty on ebay and it just got too expensive for me. I knew someone else got it, and it turned out to be Oliver. Small world.

First off, thanks to Allen for asking me to be on here. Its a pretty heavy group of people, and I’m definitely honored to be a part of it. I guess I’ll just get right into it. . . My friend Ryan and and his girl Yuko got married last weekend in Brooklyn. The wedding was at (no shit) 9am in the Botanical Gardens in Prospect Park. Definitely rough getting up for that on a Sunday morning, but it was a really intimate and laid back ceremony. The reception was later in the afternoon (so everybody could go home and go back to sleep!) on Ryan’s rooftop in Bushwick. Food, drinks, spliffs, bikes and skateboards were a plenty on the sunny, but mushy, rooftop. There was also these wierd little “lips” that curved up on various spots on the rooftop, like mini launch ramps, so I thought it would only be right to bust a little 80’s style pre-grab off one. James girlfriend, Lilly, snapped this photo of me mid-flight (a jaw-dropping 12 inches in the air!!). It turned out to be a really fun, sunshine filled day for everyone, and thats what summertime is all about.
