Looking good Zach. Go check it here.

Snow massacre

Hyde Park (Leeds) was over-run by fooking students today for a mass snowball fight. The numbers on the facebook group were nearly up to 10,000 but the turn out was evidently less - still pretty crazy!

Conti 2010

The Gator Hardshell and the SuperSport+ are new additions to the impressive Conti line that I'd like to try out. The hardshell irons out issues with the gators flimsy walls to stop pinch punctures and the SS+ has been developed with FGLondon for fixed riders.

Heres the rundown...

Gator Hardshell

700x23 / 25 / 28 / 32
The Ultra Gatorskin has set the bar for a perfectly balanced blend of ride quality and long term durability without breaking the bank, but still the lack of road maintenence by some UK local authorities means that riders demand MORE.

Sharing the bead to bead protection of Duraskin, the Hardshell casing wraps further into the sidewall, making a full on 3 ply tyre carcass and an extra wide Poly-X breaker belt under the tread extends into the tyre shoulder.
Added material in the tread strip not only improves mileage, but lends yet another degree of puncture resistance.

More isn't always better, but in this case - MORE is what you get

Supersport PLUS

Calling all couriers, hardcore commuters and fixed gear riders!
700x23 or 25

A classic is back, but better than ever. The Supersport pedigree is a long standing brand name within the Conti range. Borrowing a tread pattern from the venerable Grand Prix, the Supersport PLUS now features our Plus Breaker Belt, guaranteed to provide superior puncture protection.
Robust, extra thick casing rubber provides increased sidewall strength also.
If un-interrupted long haul A to B riding is required, this is your tyre

Get it in your diary all you northern riders....

Loopwheeler Deer hoodie

I'd have prefered this with a more matching leather colourway but still pretty nice. My SB hoodie has been getting plenty of outings with this weather! via Freshness

Chari Jersey

Another banger from Chari. Understated perfection.

Hot Bridgestone over at NJSsupermarket. Never been that keen on directional paint jobs but this is a prime example. The end caps on the stays look superad.

New Identiti trick frame

Identiti are known in the mbt world for making awesome strong frames, so their new fixed gear freestyle frame should be more than up standards! Due for release in Feb/March at around £275

Dolan Custom

Justspotted this shiny beast over at the TokyoFG blog. Max had been in there last week and got talking about Terry Dolan. He has been building a few NJS frames to be race on the Keirin circuit - sounds pretty cool.

Keep an eye out at TokyoFG for more interesting Dolan Steel.

Got Wood?

This is well rad. The new steel?

Sandal strapped leather bound board by Greece is for lovers. Amazing.

ESPN 3D

The tour in 3D? Maybe not next year but soon. Words and pictures from Freshness.

3D used to be a gimmick for cringe worthy B-movies (remember My Bloody Valentine and The Final Destination?) and an added value for Pixar films, but Avatar changed the game this year, bringing more people than ever to enjoy entertainment with an additional dimension. Pushing the 3D envelope even further, Sony and various consumer electronics makers will be releasing 3D compatible televisions this summer. While most will probably hold off on trading up as when HDTV first came out on the market, media companies are already diving into the 3D market, hoping to get first dips into a new entertainment territory. ESPN is one of the first companies to confirm a release of 3D programs, and will be launching a 3D channel, ESPN 3D in June right in time for the World Cup fever. ESPN promises to show at least 85 live events on this new channel, which may come at an added cost for viewers. Bring the live action closer to home and feel the heat and excitement of live games from the comforts of your own couch with a new 3D TV and a brand new ESPN subscription– if you are no stranger to 3D movies, you will understand how seeing Beckham bend it in all glories of height, width and depth is a life changing experience.
