if...

if the large scale is anything like the small scale model...the figure eight track will be more than memorable...



see more pics here. thanks nadir for the link and pics and getting everything ready! it's less than 100 days away...don't hesitate to head over and register. guatemala already promises to be amazing...this just puts it in another category...peace.

that was fun...

i got there about 2 hours late but was somehow still on time...you gotta love messengers and their knack for kicking sh*t off on time...ha! anywhoo...thank you to everyone that came out to play. we had about 30 or so participants...messengers and non-messengers. i'll try not too keep talking cause Lord knows all you guys care about are pics and vids...

1st place messenger...nico deportago-cabrera...pic from time out chicago...

1st place non-messenger (even though he's still a messenger but can't race for the tickets to guatemala therefore gets the bars...ha!)...al urbanski...pic by sage...

see more pics here and here. all in all it was a great day. the weather cooperated. wasn't too hot or too cold. people brought out their families to watch. we had random spectators of kids come by. good times were had. keep your eyes open on the cuttin'crew page for a full write up and hipsternascar for some more pics. thank you to all our sponsors...thank you to all who help put this together...peace.

teaser...

before i show you these pics i want you cats to know that we will return to me complaining about the industry after velocity is all said and done. i have to plug this till the cows come home...wait, what? did i really just say that? anywhoo...check it...




wow.wow.wow! seriously, are there any words to describe these? a big thank you to aaron at 611 bicycle co. and the great paint job from duane at chestercycles. you guys did a great job!

remember, it all starts today. i know, i know...there's a blackhawks game tonight but they're up two games. you guys can afford to miss one game...ha! come on out today and tomorrow...peace.

last but not least...

i cannot forget to show yojimbo's garage some love...

you know...it's not really a messenger event unless marcus is involved somehow. i went to visit him and introduce my little man to marcus...wolf decided to bless his shop with some throw-up...ha! my apologies to marcus for making him clean it up...oops! anywhoo..a big thank you to marcus. the man and his shop have been helping with messenger events from the beginning.

the madness kicks off this friday...



don't miss out kids. we have great prizes. everyone should come out for this. yes...im talking to you henry...ha! for those of you who don't know who henry is...he's so good that the man races for two teams...


pic taken from recycling page...

come on...lets put some pressure on this man to come out and play. we need someone to show up and put al urbanski(last years winner) in his place...ha! henry was saying something about having a pro road race that day or some silly sh*t...we don't have time for that. like the lovely amy said..."bros before pros"...peace.

happy mothers day!

every year this day comes around but this mothers day is a bit different for me. i always have my mother to thank for being the worlds greatest but this mothers day I have my Jessica to thank for being...well, beautiful.

I won't bore you with the silly details that go along with being a parent...you know, changing diapers or feeding in the middle of the night, making sure the diaper bag is properly packed, the car seat is locked up securely, and so on. all that comes with practice and patience. what I will tell you is that the love my wife has for our son is 2nd to none. that watching her give him a simple hug sometimes makes you want to cry. that instead of hanging out with friends you rather watch her play airplane with wolf. by the way, when she brings him in for his landing and she holds him tight...oh man, I feel myself getting choked up now...is one of the greatest moments I get to witness. I have to admit...I get a bit jealous at times but it doesn't last for long. my Jess is special...she's filled with so much love and she has more than enough for me and wolf.



I know I'm a lucky man...I knew it the day I married her. now, our son gets to realize how lucky he is. not a day will go by that I won't remind him how beautiful his mom is. how any problem that may arise can be solved by one of her hugs. I love my Jessica. We are only nearing the 6 month mark of wolf being here with us...I have no doubt that the love she has for wolf will only continue to grow and that those hugs will be a constant reminder to wolf about how beautiful our Jessica really is.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

instead of posting a nice mama related vid for jess...i'll just post this for her...
