C2D x Paperbikes x IronBoy Quarter

C2D teamed up with James aka IronBoy and Paperbikes to start building a fun little backyard ramp playground for the cold season.

First thing we constructed was is this 4' tall quarter, with a 3' deck. Still have to finish off the deck and put some copping on there, but we sessioned it anyway, last night, right after it was done. Took about 3 hours to put together and do it right. We want this thing to last. So much fun.

Corporate Reprimand

Well, apparently, at some point the corporate fat cats at C2D HQ asked themselves why I'm gettin paid six figures to contribute an average of one post per 2 months. So...I'm bein flown away from glorious sunny AZ to grimy NYC for a scolding, and to attend some "team-building" seminars...

Pictured: Accatone (in his REI catalog pose...) sayin "You want me to fly Where...?!?!"


So heads up NYC...it's about to get crazy up in this bitch.

What did your worst bike crash involve? POLL

Peep the new poll. Everyone who rides crashes. Even if your idea of a bicycle ride is hopping onto a beach cruiser provided for free by your hotel, you still might have crashed at some point and it might have been bad. Or maybe you're a drunken hipster and you crashed into a median and called the cops on yourself and got yourself arrested? Either way, something was involved. What was it? Let us know.

We understand that a few things are omitted from the options. Things like ramps, mountains, stairsets, ledges and other fun things, but we purposely made this a common man poll - so for all intents and purposes if your crash involved any of the above, vote for Curb.

Anywho, have fun, vote, and as always there will be a sum~up of the results once they are in.

Prolly is not Probably Chat

There was a chunk of snow in NYC recently, so I decided to ride in right after the storm. Being proud of the fact that I was the only (as far as I could tell) biker braving the piles of fresh snow at 7am, I just had to let someone know. I had to share my glory. Preferably with a biker who would understand and appreciate the feat. The person on the receiving end of the boasting was no one other then John, the man behind the mighty sweet ProllyIsNotProbably, a fixed gear freestyle focused blog with oodles of lifestyle/fashion/music/fun mixed in. C2D been meaning to interview Prolly for a long long time, but between this, that, and his not so recent departure to Austin for the winter, that interview been put on hold. So what follows below is a pre-interview Google Chat style.

C2D: sup yo! nyc had a blizzard and i just rode in. i was the only biker i saw today. people were lookin at me like i'm nuts

Prolly:  nice! I kinda miss the sense of entitlement I got in snow. I never bought a train pass in 4 years. rode every day in, regardless. But I gotta say, I love the 60-degree and sunny weather i've got now, haha

 C2D:  hell yea! now you're getting soft, riding in a tshirt in january!  btw, that mishka paintjob is clean. good stuff!

 Prolly:  hell yeah

 C2D:  love that grey

 Prolly:  i love that bike, the paint is immaculate

 C2D:  so when are you back in nyc? or are you getting married, kids and settling out there in Texas?

 Prolly:  hah, back in march, but I gotta say, I love it here. i wanna get back into Arch. and NYC's scene is dead. Austin's economy is thriving and the architecture is right up my alley, modern with a hands-on feel.

 C2D:  thats awesome! austin has the most rediculous bike scene too. some wild bmx dudes out there. aaron ross, who's pretty much the best EVAR

 Prolly:  yeah and Chase Hawk. T-1 is nuts dude, being there in person, watching those dudes kill it. chase's tire slides over the spine, crazy.  it's intimidating to show up on a track bike

 C2D:  u ride your 20 out there at all? i bet its intimidating as hell, did u end up bulding one?

 Prolly:  i haven't got it yet, Seth is slammed

 C2D:  i bet. chase's tire slides over the spine? he tire slides the top of spine?? jesus

 Prolly:  yeah, it's in his last video, he also does turndown wall slides on the vert, rediculous

 C2D:  just wow, i prefer that so much more to all the backflip tailwhip flailing. would they even let u ride your fixed there? but i guess, would you even attempt that there?

Prolly:  I wouldn't want to, that shit's gay, haha

 C2D:  ha!!

Prolly:  i like riding street and mellow parks with my fixed, not indoor shit, i'd rather skate it

 C2D:  u skate?

 Prolly:  i grew up skating, only stopped 4 years ago when i got more into cycling, fucked my ankle up and i couldn't ride my fixed to work, so I decided to chill

 me:  i hear ya, i'm not even crazy into fixed but somewho someway your blog is the first one i check everyday. u must be doin something rite! keep up the good work!

Prolly:  dude, I hear that all the time

funny shit, even from 50-year old snobby collectors, haha, thanks homie

 C2D:  def!

 Thanks man! Good stuff. Full on, well constructed and more informative interview, coming in the future. THE FUTURE I tell yee!

Epic Snowride NYC - Part 1

Last night when the snow really started coming down I knew exactly what I was going to do at 7:30 the next morning - no matter what. I've had many amazing rides and sessions in my life, street, downhill, park, dirt jumps, here, there - you name it. But this was hands down in the top 3 ever. Normally, even on the coldest day or worst rain, I see one or two other bikers out there, the hardcore dudes. Well, today I outhardcored everyone, it seems. I was the only biker on the streets - the looks on people's faces was priceless - most were stoked and gave me a "HELL YEA!" smile. Snowed in cars everywhere, traffic creeping at 2mph, people picking out each step. One hell of a workout I tell you. Riding in the snow is no joke. Amazing. I loved it and I'm so glad I didn't miss this opportunity. Trust me, of all the days in the year, that Subway train was looking good today. C2D, Love ya life! Look out for Part 2 and 3 of this epic ride.
