Team Hype Kit 2011

YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS! Just in time for the new year. I received our kits from Champion System earlier this morning. Overall, they came out real nice. Only problem I saw were from the different sizes of the polka dots on the jersey and bibs. Oh well that's what I get for having them made in China. Big ups to IMBC and Fatlace.

Team Hype riders will be looking fresh to def in the new year.

REP LA!

Outlier x Feit

Via Sneaker Freaker.

OUTLIER. IS. KILLING. IT. Clean silhouette with the added tech to actually make it useful. The upper is a fabric called Supermarine cotton which is highly water resistant and breathable. The sole is super stiff making ideal for urban riding. If you aren't sold on it, you're sleeping. Although nothing will beat the power transfer of a legit cycling shoe. But from reading about it, it comes pretty damn close.

Cop hurrr.

General Manager Brian Nygaard denies the new Schleck brother super team will be named Leopard True Racing.

"The team's management name is used for the website, leopard.lu, and displayed on the door at the team's headquarters in Howald, Luxembourg. Nygaard and Team Manager Kim Andersen are there working hard to prepare for January 6."

BTW, Cancellara joined the Schleck super crew. EXCITE!

iKeirin

Via Tracko.

Wow. There IS an app for that. It's only in Nihongo, so those not proficient in the language would have a hard time understanding anything. Looking at the screenshots on Itunes, it looks like it has a little Mario Kart splashed in it. Def looks fun.

Cop via Itunes.

Behind the Scenes

Via Prolly.

Prolly was invited to behind the scenes access for Travel Channel's newest show about NYC bike messengers. He was with one of the teams filming the bike messenger outfit, Quik Trak. Armed with a 35mm camera, this is a look into the show behind the scenes.

Austin Horse was selected as the Creative Director. Having someone so into the culture it provides an authentic feel to the show. Im excited to see the results.

More of Prolly's shots in 35mm on his Flickr.

FRAMED - Andi Whittmann

Via Hypebeast.

How appropriate I caught this on Hypebeast. This short is epic. A great way to profile a rider. Beautifully shot. I'm feeling the tilt and shift and slow motion used throughout.

Beast never goes out of style.

ALC9 Video

Via Team I Love Donuts.

Team Lope and Team Hype rider Magnus riding out on day 1. Yeah, that's Thom pre-powered donut on the left. Fast forward to 6:19 to see them in action.

ALC9 changed my life. From the people you meet, the personal stories you hear, and the physical challenges you endure; this is an amazing ride.

ALC10 marks the tenth anniversary of this epic ride. I encourage everyone who is able to do this ride to do it. Not only will it change your life but you'll save countless others suffering with HIV and AIDS. If you can't ride, please please please donate to someone who can or volunteer.

MASH SF The Ruins

Via TOLA.

This is on some D&D map steez. DOPE!

Cop hurrr.

Manx Missile

Via Tracko.

For as huge Nike is, you'd think they got a handle on the cycling game too. Not really. Wish they would though, because nothing beats Nike tech. Kudos to Nike for recognizing Cavendish. Dude is a beast of a sprinter, and has the best finish line salutes known to man.

Love or hate him. He's that dude you want on your team sprinting for the finish.

Hilltop Finish

Caught this on my Facebook stream from friend and MVC badass Ryan. This had me dying. Too good not to share. I wish every hilltop finish was like this.

BTW, how's this for motivation? Didn't see it? Look closely in the middle. YEAH HE IS.

If it's unnecessary it's probably hype, and these keychains are no different.

Rapha Rides Cycle Oregon

Rapha photobombs my Flickr stream. Check more dope ride photos on Rapha's Flickr. Ride recap on Rapha's site. Browsing through the photos made me think of ALC and how bad I want to do it again. It's just one of those things you need to do before you die. Just saying.
