Brad and his vicious tail whip. Thanks to Rob at The Creepodepot for the flick.
Garrett won, duh. He’s fast as shit. Looks like it was a great time. Wish I could of made it but I had to work, bummer. Thanks to The Street Tumblers for throwing this event, I hope you guys throw some more so I can go!
Photo recap care of X Rocks The Spot. Go to Loops tonight!
Urban Velo has written a huge article on everything track bike found at Interbike. Great photographs, too! Check it here.
Our friend Alissa at Pabst Blue Ribbon sent me these photos of Track Shacks first day and party. We here at Cycle Jerks have had quite the technical difficulties with image capturing devices lately.
Garrett won first place and a women’s t-shirt. Cute.
Inside the shop. Lots of drunks.
The masses.
The Shack with some mopes.
Done and Done.
My friend and coworker Elliott (of The Skinny Squirrel) has a load of photos from the DNC that I never knew existed! You must take a look through his Flickr photo gallery and read all the titles and descriptions. They’re hilarious.
Here’s a teaser:
There’s so much going on this weekend it’s insane.
TOOFY
Lets start out with the independent Toofy Film Fest in Boulder this weekend. You can find the schedule for Saturday the 13th and Sunday the 14th here. Tickets are $30 for all 6 shows and the party or just $6.50 for one (that’s cheaper than any movie theater!). Since Toofy is “More of a party than a film festival” you should check out their after party fashion show on Saturday night, $5. All movies are being shown at the Boulder Theater at 2032 14th St.
New Belgium’s Tour De Fat
Denver is the second stop on the Tour De Fat this Saturday. Come by City Park at 10am dressed your funkiest for a cruise to Denver’s different parks and back (general route here).
Have a car you don’t want anymore? They will be trading someone their car for a new bike! How rad? If you’re not willing or able to give up a car bring in old bike parts you don’t need in exchange for New Belgium beer!!! They will be using the parts to build new bikes on site and donated to Derailer Bicycle Collective (411 Lipan). There is a show that’s pretty funky, too.
If you’re down to log some heart smart hours, Derailer’s Help Day is the following afternoon, Sunday, September 14th 1:00-4:00pm at 411 Lipan. Come help as they sort all the new, glorious donations!
Tim De Frisco Photo shoot
For all you messengers in Denver, Tim De Frisco is holding a second photo shoot (see the first here and scroll down) this Saturday at his studio at 2239 Champa between 11am and 5pm. Bring your bikes! None of the photos will be used for a profit. He will be providing beer, food and any prints you want!
Monolith Festival
This Sat and Sun as well, the Monolith Festival will be taking over Red Rocks. Great music. Need I say more?
This weekend Tim De Frisco, a local sports photographer, held a photo shoot for a messenger project he’s working on for his portfolio. Here are some my favorite shots from the first shoot.

April of The Skinny Squirrel took some great photos of the last checkpoint at the train bridge. You can see the full set on her flickr.
Elliott, first place!
Rest up, tike! Tyler got hit Saturday night. That beautiful GT he rolls is crushed. Wear your helmets, it saved his life. Stay tuned, benefit party to come.
Check out the river.
Getting to 3 Kings from the bridge.
Yesterday was a blast! Thanks to everyone who came out, there were 37 racers, 5 of which were female. Big thanks to 3 Kings Tavern for hosting us and throwing us some prizes and free beer! Anthony’s Pizza and Powerade supported us with their deliciousness which we instantly devoured. We sold out of hats, we will hopefully make some more before we go to Chicago for NACCC’s which we are proudly sponsoring.

More photos to come of the train bridge you all loved so much!
Yesterday I started a new Flickr group for all the cyclists of Denver and other cities of Colorado. You can post photos from your Flickr to the group for other people to see or post a topic about how to make your own double toe straps. It is an invite only group (Sorry out of towners!), so if you’re a friend of ours on Flickr, or will soon become one, let us know that you’d like to join the group via FlickrMail.
Our Flickr.
Also, did you see the Flickrlog on the bottom right column of the page? Those photos are randomly streaming from our Flickr right now, but I can set it up to come from the group. So if you want to see your photos on CycleJerks.com post them on the Cycle Jerks group!
Broox and I took some photos of Track Attack and the Bootleg Sessions V.2 premier last Friday, here’s a peak…
By Broox Pulford, check out his rad design blog X Rocks the Spot.

Tyler won S-Sprints, you had to stop (hence the “S”) before a designated line after sprinting otherwise you were disqualified.

Intentional Denver/Boulder Couriers plug Phil? He is not an asshole.

Brad from Urban Velo just posted his photos from the Cycle Messenger World Championship in Toronto. See them posted here.
Brad of Trackstar in the cargo race.
I also just read on their blog that they’re upgrading the print versions of the magazine. Now they will sport color covers, real binding and begin international shipping! I can’t wait to see the next issue! I’m sure Brad will be sending some our way when they’re out, right Brad?

I posted some photos from FM Magazine’s Office Party last Saturday on my personal Flickr. If you missed it you should learn your lesson and never do it again. Dancing, babes in scarfs and pencil skirts, jungle juice in the water cooler, people in drag, people half naked, art, free pink pens, boys in suits and fancy hats… What joy! Happy birthday to my fellow midget and editor of FM, Tuyet! We love you lady!
Go to The Skinny Squirrel and you will be greeted by these lovely two dancing maniacs!
Phil and Carla Carlson!
BABES!
Tony Farfalla (editor of FM Magazine), Sam Turner (metalhead and artist extraordinaire), and dude with sweet hat.
