Stay-X-Gold's Flickr is blasting off with epicness this week! Check out the newest photos here and I hope to God that this photo gets you guys pumped to ride this weekend! It's got me stoked.

While we're on the subject of riders and their bikes. Ethan recently completed his urban assualt fixed ride with the aid of local talent. You might recall the post I made about it a while back. This time he got Alan Tansey to shoot the photos and since I don't wanna steal Ethan's thunder, you gotta go to the Laek House blog to check the details!

Not a bad little stable you got there Jake. An aggressive low-pro, a traditional track and a road bike. So nice and they all get ridden. Great idea for a photo shoot too. Maybe I'll do this one day. Check out more detail photos at Jake's Flickr!

Remember the article I wrote for Urban Velo? Well, this is what I was talking about in it. With everyone going to 26" Fixed, the larger companies that we've been buying frames from can't move fast enough (and have other reasons, as pointed out in the comments), so the smaller companies and riders are taking it upon themselves to do so. Enter Slumworm's new fixed freestyle framesets. 29'r and 26". Not bad! Let's see some detail photos!

Dammit Joe and Ken, you're supposed to call me up when you work on projects like this! Chari & Co got in a one-of-a-kind Brooklyn Machine Works road frame. Made from 4130 and extremely limited, this baby won't last! For detail shots and pricing, head over to Chari!

Straight from the mouth of the Fat Bald Men:

FBM is looking for a new Sales Rep.
We want someone who is stoked on FBM, stoked on BMX and stoked on bikes in general to maintain and expand FBM's relationship with and sales to US dealers. FBM is a unique company and as an FBM sales rep you will have to be able to communicate how FBM fits into BMX and how BMX fits into the range of bicycle products your dealers carry. You will be responsible for selling FBM's full line of BMX completes, frames, components, dvds and apparel, as well as FBM's other in-house brands, Nice and The Take.

Sounds pretty rad right? If you've got what it takes, read up more at FBM.

This is a straight bangin' way to end a Friday afternoon! I have listened to this War of the Worlds Dubstep Mix constantly since I came across it. So good! Here's the background on it:

A dubstep mix retelling Jeff Wayne’s musical version of war of the worlds, sampling the original narratives by Richard Burton, Phil Lynott and David Essex.

Download it here and check it out on Soundcloud.

Swamp Donkey is hands down my fucking favorite street artist. In face he just put up a big rooftop piece under the Williamsburg Bridge in bright-ass purple paint! Kareem at Loose Nuts feels the same way and that's why he commissioned SD to paint a mural in the shop. Totally rad man! Check out more photos at the Loose Nuts blog!

Thomas' work is reaching a new level of refinement. I really love this build and bike frame. So smart. There's a raised quill for better saddle-to-bar drop, front and rear brakes. It's lovely. Check out more photos at Horse Cycles' Flickr.

See, I could totally get down with this. Mike Giant's work for Cinelli keeps culminating for 2011. The Ram2 bars would be outta my price range but I could throw down for some flash tape for sure. Keep on churning out the goods mike! Next up, discharge cotten tape. Please?

See more at Aerodinamica.

Dan shot me over some photos of the new Leader Bike Shadow freestyle frame. Taken by none other than Matt Lingo, these detail shots are some of the cleanest studio photos to come from the Leader camp. I really love the re-appropriated DH / MTB gusset. More to come at Leader.

Here's a really sensibly-built Dodici Special shot by Cycle Angelo. I really like the stoker hood and front brake. Nice frame too! Check out more shots at Cycle Angelo.

Justin the Fatty spend the afternoon with wiley' Jacob Santos on Monday for Area Cycles. Homie gets it up for sure (pause). Check the rest of the photos out here!

It's not often that people take photos of me while I'm riding. Usually I'm the one behind the lens. Last weekend Jon from Atlanta, aka Two Tone ATL, came into town to hang out and race the NY States at Kissena. Like all guests, I tried to show him a good time and from the looks of his Flickr set, he had a great time! Check the full set out here!

With Cadence and DVS's Fast Friday events finished, there's just one more race for the winners to endure: the Fast Friday Finals. Check out the full flier below. Congrats guys!

This song came out a few months too late! So many summer moments in there and I think we've all had a slow-mo'ment when a cute girl rides by on a cruiser. Not my usual taste in music but I can dig it!

Oh how things have changed. No, wait. They haven't changed that much. AJ shot this bike check for Puckett when he was riding the V3 Cutter. Good for a late-night chuckle.

I love shots like this. It took me a second to figure out what was going on as I browsed through my Flickr contacts. The Rotterdam Fixed crew keeps on shredding.

Get amped LA! Empire will be playing at this year's Bicycle Film Festival. Come see how we do it in NYC. Grab your tickets here. NYC and Toronto both sold out so get on it!
