NeilPryde Epic Rider

NeilPryde is hosting a contest to win one of their brand new bikes. I had a lot of fun filming my submission, with the scabs and bruises to prove it.

Shot over the weekend on my GoPro HD and Lumix camera. Edited on Adobe Premier. The soundtrack is "Change Clothes," a Beatles and Jay-Z mashup by DJ Danger Mouse.

Sobbing Like a Bitch

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010 @ 9:22 AM - quickie

Mark Cavendish on the Stage 5 Tour de France podium, in hysterical tears. He couldn't stop crying. Like an 8-year old who just got beat up on the playground. There was actual snot running down his nose alongside his tears. I can understand a little emotion on the podium at the biggest race in the world, but Cavendish was going into convulsions.

"He, he, he - - - to, to, took - - - m, my, my - - - lunch money...an, an, and - - - ca, ca, called - - - m, me - - - a a a - - - bay, bay, baby!"

Maybe he is rehashing the memories of being molested by ole' Uncle Alessandro Petacchi. Or he is trying really hard to market his book, Boy Racer.

I have been reevaluating my time trial position the last few weeks. I came across this photo during my research.

Stella Artois, The Race

Stella Artois Belgium beer commercial set in a pre-war era bicycle race. The tandem concept is a little odd, but they are racing through the Alps. Allez, allez! Please drink responsibly.

Boxing Tonight

Monday, November 3rd, 2008 @ 4:09 PM - quickie

Created over 6 months by one animator and one digital composer. The animation and sound was then routed through a Nintendo Gameboy, for a very unique style.

The audio brings back memories of staring into the green screen of Gameboy for hours-on-end as a kid. They use some truly classic video game sound effects in the mix.

I, For One, Welcome Our New Robotic Overlords

Sunday, August 17th, 2008 @ 1:45 PM - quickie

Here is a preview of a robotic creature that will be hunting you after the human race is enslaved by robots. While the actual robot that kills you may be larger, quicker, quieter and armed with lasers - I am sure you will recognize the eerie gait.

Rebecca Romero, Nude for Powerade Ad

Rebecca Romero Naked on a Bike

Rebecca Romero (born Jan 24th, 1980) is an English track cyclist and former elite rower with Worlds and Olympic medals from both sports.

  • There are way too many spacers on top of that stem
  • If she actually had pursuit (her specialty) bars on the bike, you could probably see some aerodynamic tit
  • She appears to be riding on some sort of gross Rolf Prima wheels

Once Rebecca left the photo shoot, I bet the photographer ran that saddle under his nose and sniffed it like a fine cigar.
