[stuntastic]

Your homie got FUCKED in Oakland (Wah wah wah, wah.)

[hamburglar]

Proper fucked

[stuntastic]

What kind of collision was it? T-boned?

[powerviolence]

holy shit that's brutal actually

how's the bike too?

damn man

[hamburglar]

" i got hit by a car on broadway and 14th in 0akland.

blacked out, ambulance ride to highland hospital where i was checked in with minor head trauma, lacerations to the face(on several sites), a broken nose and the general "motor accident w/ cyclist".

my bike is actually perfectly okay, my face however, is bashed in completley. look like ive been shot.

best part is:

sitting in the hospital bed with my friends and parents outside worried and all i was nervous about was whether the EMTs ripped open my flannel to check my body for other injurys.

they didnt, all my shit was locked up in my messenger bag.

! yes!"

[greentalks43]

Wow, glad to hear he is ok. I used to live 3 blocks from 14th and Broadway. He'll be mashing in no time.

[kenthenoob]

man, i'm sure glad his bike's okay.

[hamburglar]

downtown oakland has the worst drivers ever

[kenthenoob]

at least he wasn't in east oakland where he would've gotten jacked.

[hamburglar]

get hit then jacked. that would suck

[aydo1]

lol whenever i think of kids jacking bikes, i remember this:

[greentalks43]

I lived in east oakland, never got jacked, nor fucked with.

[hamburglar]

Ya I wouldn't lock up my bike there. But I don't lock up my bike anywhere really. Theives aren't black theyr transparent.

[aydo1]

update from my friend in UCLA he just finished his bike.

we did some work on this thing but it turned out good also!

cutting carbon forks is fucked >_<

[theetruscan]

Hunting for some clips and straps I can toss over leather shoes without dinging them up. Any suggestions? I tend to ride my bike fixed just for fun, so I don't want to give up the clips. I've seen a few with leather over the steel, which seems like it might be good, but I'm just wondering if anyone has found a good fix.

Thanks

[kenthenoob]

hey cool, isn't that nate's bike? it looks nice.

[theamapros]

weird aydo1, didn't know you knew nate.

anyway, he showed me some pictures of his bike, esp. the fork and all it's badassery.

oh yeah, nate also wanted me to say "fuck riordan and swan"

if you don't get it, it's ok.

[kenthenoob]

ah, isn't nate selling his 53cm pista, too?

ah, i found it:

[aydo1]

lol did he tell you about the carbon fiber splinters i got while cutting the fork..

how about the "integrated cane creek/fsa headset heh..

anyway it turned out good right?

help me convince him to bring his bike up next time he comes to visit ^^

[mlproject]

the chopped drops makes no sense. dick rider mentality.

[kenthenoob]

lol, at least flip the bars, right?

[chingon]

chopped bars make sense if you have ever ridden drops. 98% of the time I never got down in the drops. chopped drops just look stupid.

[mlproject]

if yr gonna ride like that, just get risers or bullhorns. even the "i hit my leg when doing skids" reason is dumb. just get risers...

[chingon]

i just get risers...

yep. 10char

You do it when you are riding past hotties and want to show off.
