Over the weekend TRAFIK attended “Movies About Bikes”, a short film festival brought to us by Funwunce. Rick Darge, the Director, Producer and coordinator of the event presented some great locally made short films like Monday Night Rehab, Los Angelopes, West Side Mosey, and the much anticipated Wolfpack Drag Race promo. It was a rainy night, but that didn’t stop the bike crowd from showing up and virtually selling out the beautiful Vista Theater in Echo Park.

This is an event Rick (seen in picture above^^) and his Funwunce team would love to do at least twice a year to encourage filmmakers and bike enthusiasts to create more short films. Rick said, “We’re already talking about making this kind of our own little L.A. bike film festival because there is the BFF and other things that happen, but Los Angeles really doesn’t have its own niche bike film scene and i think it’s there.”

The screening kind of reminded us of that scene from Gremlins where all the monsters are going crazy in the theater. Don’t feed Midnight Ridazz after Midnight. And whatever you do, don’t get them wet.

Best way to deal with haters…

Jesus is co-founder of one of LA’s longstanding weekly rides K-town Wednesdays, a bicycle activist, and a street racer. It’s no wonder he’s on Team Kagero. Find him burning up the dark streets of LA every Wed. at 10pm (see MR for more ride deets). Congratulations Jesus! Keep killin ‘em.

Trafik would like to thank all of you that made InterBike 2011 one for the books. This year, we were able to meet with a lot of the initial supporters of this project and we were able to show them our accolades and accomplishments, all thanks to our wonderful sponsors. We were able to tell them that our flick was the number one sports documentary on Itunes, (second documentary to Justin Beiber), the numerous premiers through out the globe and all the outstanding reviews that we’ve gotten on IMDB, Netflix and, Itunes. This year we were able to say a personal thank you to all the people that have supported us from the beginning. This post is for you guys!

Thomson, enough said. Thank you for all the support guys!

Knog keeps cyclist safe and reminds us to keep a smile on the face as well, by any means necessary.

Steve at the Chrome booth made us feel right at home.

Sock Guy reminding us that InterBike is not always about free stuff. Don’t be a shwag whore. Thanks for the pink armwarmers, west hollywood gets awfully cold this time of year. these purple and lavender arm warmes are the best!

If it wasn’t for GoPro, we wouldnt have been able to give you all the shots racers in action!

Velocity laced to anything is always a good idea!

Speaking of wheels, Aerospokes for extra streed cred.

Genuine Innovations kept us rolling around vegs! thanks y’all

Of course, the good people at Oury having an awesome time.

And thank you, White Lightening for us rolling all week. hell all summer!

In about an hour the biggest fixed gear Alleycat of Vegas is about to go down. The winners of this race are going to be really stoked on the prizes that our sponsors have been gracious enough to bless us with; Stems from Thomson, White Lightning lube, Knog Lights and Locks, Aerospoke swag, Kryptonite Locks and Accessories, Livery Design Gruppe Hats, Oury Grips, Skully Boom Boom Boxes, Polar Bottle bottles, gifts from Go Pro, Sock Guy socks, Endurance Conspiracy, Chrome, MonkeyLectric lights, Genuine Innovations co2 inflators and more from Trafik Pictures!

The victors of this race can bump their favorite The Carter IV track while they are cleaning their drive train. Or how about color match their lock with their frame using the Kryptonite Color Skins. Or how about upgrading their oem stem with a Thomson Elite stem. Even if you don’t win, its a great way to see the city of Vegas. I’m sure Hern’s got them going all over town. Stay tuned for the coverage.

Let’s roll Vagas.

Awww, yeah! This is going to be a good one. Wolfpack Hustle throwing an awesome race in the glittery streets of Las Vegas. Racers will be meeting @ 9pm in front of the Sand Convention Center. Trafik Pictures will be putting together a prize bag from our biggest sponsors! Our prize bundle will consist of prizes from companies like Thomson, White Lighting, Oury, Aerospoke. Trafik will have full coverage of the race as it goes down.

On our way home one of our good friends, Don, was involved in an accident and we all wish that you guys would send positive energy his way for a speedy recovery.

What’s up world! Interbike is in full swing. This convention is where companies display their products and innovations and shop owners and distributors get to put a face to a name. That’s one of my favorite parts. So here for our first installment at Interbike 2011, we have the faces. Maybe you’ll recognize a couple. Enjoy!
