Track Attack this month is keeping it casual. We will be meeting at Cheesman park tonight at 6:30pm and then ride to different trick spots, ending at Track Shack to get a preview before opening day tomorrow. Always free. Always fun.
Since the Track Shack grand opening and race is the day after, Track Attack decided to keep this month casual. All these names with ‘track’ in it are beginning to get confusing. Anyway, they decided a bar hop was in order. Meet at Cheesman Park at 6:30pm next Friday, September 26th.
If you come out to SKATEBIKE tomorrow you’ll see us passing out these brand spankin’ new fliers designed by Broox Pulford of the design collective blog X Rocks The Spot. Come by our tent and pick one up, watch some videos, buy a shirt or a hat and get a sticker to put on your bike- free if you let us pick the spot.
FM Magazine, Track Attack and Emage Skate Shop have put their heads together to bring us SkateBike, a fixed gear/skate board mash-up. Show up this Saturday, July 26th at 2pm to race, 3pm to party at 16th and Platte. The race is $5 ($7 for both), but Trackstand Twister and PBR Pickup are free. It’s also free to watch and there will be a lot of booze and foodz.
Details of the race? Racers will be given a manifest that must be signed at each of the following checkpoints. These points can be completed in any order.
Start: 1620 Platte St. (Emage Skate Shop)
Checkpoints:
-32nd and Speer (on the corner)
-23rd and Federal (on the corner)
-70 Broadway #150 (inside Speakeasy Clothing)
Finish: 1620 Platte St. (Emage Skate Shop)
Prizes for top 3 riders, hugs for everyone else.
P.S. I Google mapped it, it’s about 10 miles. Do your homework.
There will be a few tents up, too. Denver’s newest bicycle shop The Track Shack (website coming soon) will have one, selling a sick Pinarello track frame, the famed Sam Turner’s t-shirts, leather lock belts and double toe straps, and will provide on the spot wheel truing. Justin and I will also have one with a tv playing Cycle Jerks videos, Cycle Jerks hats and shirts for sale, and some free shit.
Broox and I took some photos of Track Attack and the Bootleg Sessions V.2 premier last Friday, here’s a peak…

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.

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.

To June 27th Track Attack has moved this month! Same place, same time, same ruckus. This time we will caravan to The Satellite Bar at 308 E. Colfax for the Bootleg Sessions V.2 premiere! They have cheap beer and rad bartenders, so come!
EDIT: I can’t really explain S-Sprints because even I don’t know what they are! All I do know is they will be spectacular. C’mon, is Track Attack ever not fun? I’m sure it’s going to be better than whatever you’d be doing in the Springs.
