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.

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.

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.

Rapha Denim

I don't like riding in denim for 2 reasons. I get hot and I get nasty. Southern California weather requires you to stunt in shorts. It's November and it's a blistering 80-90 degrees depending on what part of the city you're in.

BUT, if I had to rock denim to ride in it'd be these bad boys right hurrr. From the durable denim blend to the reflective motif on the right inside of the leg, Rapha got it right down to the details. THE DETAILS! The jeans have even been tailored to accomodate your pedal stroke by offsetting the seams and belt loops. THE DETAILS! The jean's right pocket is reinforced and able to hold a D-lock. THE DETAILS!

My only gripe is once you start adding these cycling elements to the jeans it starts to become more cycling outerwear then jeans, and for $225 this isn't for the baby beasts.

Images and to cop dem thangs in February visit hurrr. For real denim visit Self Edge.
