Konnichiwa Bitches! We are back from KyotoLOCO. Sorry to anybody who thought we fell off the face of the earth. We brought home the gold(sprints). Team Bitch Slap slapped the shit out of their completition in a desperate attempt at just finishing led them to first place. TS founder, Brad Baker, dispatched work to three of NYC's most badass, and a crazy fast rookie from Copenhagen: Quinn, Squid, Christian (Copetown) and myself (Alex). I also won goldsprints, the track stand, and was awarded "Fixie King." I thank Sugino, Gan Well Pro, Bag Jack, Gill and Georgia for all their awesome prizes.
NYC repped hard with like 20 people over there. Impartial list: Ranger, Quinn, Squid, Alex, Tak, John, Dave, Jason Chaste (49/16), Andrew "the Snake" Escobedo, Gina, Nona, Omar, Jason (1st OOT?), Brad, Patty, Zach, Izumi and several more whose names escape me. It was awesome.
We had, seriously, the most hospitable couple to stay with. Momo and Kumi, it was very kind of you to put up with our stinkny, drunk, karaoke hogging asses. And to feed us too. You guys are awesome. Thank you.
Finally I thank the people who make this happen every year, Chie, Maeda, Takuya, Handa, Yasuyuki and all the other members of the immense staff of this event. |
