Dope Bastard
Cyclist Alberto Contador, winner of the 2010 Tour de France, has said he has tested positive for a banned substance.
Contador's press officer said he had tested positive for clenbuterol during a rest on the Tour in July. In a statement, the spokesman added that the Spanish rider was the victim of "food contamination" and would hold a news conference later on Thursday. Cycling's governing body, UCI, later confirmed that Contador had been provisionally suspended. Cycling has struggled with doping allegations for years. Among a host of high-profile offenders, US cyclist Floyd Landis was stripped of his 2006 Tour title for a positive drugs test.

As trick riding explodes over the world, it's great to see new Hillbombing and riding videos being released. This is the latest offering from the guys in Athens - some awesome scenery and gnarly hills. Good work guys.
Keep your eyes peeled for a Leeds premiere of the full version sometime soon...

Just watched this beautifully shot film from the people at FixedForwardJKT over at Prolly - Reminds you of the good vibes of a group ride! Whilst I was over checking the FXFW blog out, I spotted this video from SeoulFG - another one under the radar.

Special Needs
Specialized + Wheel Talk Introduction from Matt Reyes on Vimeo.
I don't post a lot of FGFS videos but I just watched this over at FixedShitUp and I'm reposting purely because it is a refreshing change to see a large bike manufacturer reacting to a need in the market in a prompt fashion. The 26 inch revolution has well and truly taken hold!
Icarus Interview
"I began building when I left college to attend the Yamaguchi Frame Building School in Rifle, Colorado. The training was 100% one-on-one with one of the greats in frame building, working with Koichi Yamaguchi learning the basics from start to finish, along with the art and nuance too. Later that year I visited builders I admired and wanted to work for to talk about the industry and decide if I should work on my own or gain more experience with a high end custom builder".

I don't post much in the way of tricks but the no footed slider was too good not to. That snapped crank/bb at the end could of been so much worse! Also on a Maca tip, just spotted the Macaframa x Raleigh build up on FixedShitUp this morning - All photos courtesy of Prolls.
