Street Hoops

July 29, 2009

By: Ryan Denehy

After DC Shoes posted their warehouse basketball video a few years ago similar clips flooded YouTube. Lately some nutcases have been putting up a series of videos called "Straight Street Hoops" - taking DC's trick shot concept to a decidedly more "street level." The results are a must-watch. Oh, and their hoop is little more than a punched out milk crate and broken lawn chairs.

Pedestrian vs Cyclist

July 24, 2009

By: Ryan Denehy

Kryptonite bike lock to your noggin! Overzealous pedestrians are the worst. When I was in the fifth grade I got pushed off the sidewalk and into oncoming traffic by an old lady. Granted I was riding really fast and almost took out her granddaugher, and having lived through the depression and two world wars she felt well within her rights to do so. But i digress.  This video, shot in Ma…

Co-opting of Rasta Culture Still a Huge Problem

July 24, 2009

By: Ryan Denehy

This kind of stuff kills me. For whatever reason middle-aged caucasian males, well really most white dudes for that matter seem to have a hard-on for anything and everything rastafarian. I like reggae music as much as the next guy. But I stop well short of using phrases like "Dis is the Island mon" and wearing faux dreadlocks. Canadian mountain dwellers on the other hand, apparently do not. …

The Iron Horse Saga Ends

July 15, 2009

By: Ryan Denehy

Bankrupt and riddled with lawsuits, once-promising brand Iron Horse has been sold to Dorel Industries for a meager $5.2 million. Dorel also owns Cannondale, GT, Schwinn, Mongoose and Pacific Cycle. Not a bad group of brands to have under one roof. Apparently bidding in federal bankruptcy court started at $2.7 million and went up in increments of $25,000.  This whole thing is still a h…
