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.

Downtown LA messengers through the hardest race every year for the BFF and this one is no different. Starting at Griffith Park Observatory, the race is a grueling check point race that reference scenes in the movie, ‘Terminator.’ Last year Hern won this race (despite not having all the manifests.) This years grand prize is a 725 Leader frame set as well as a package from us here at Trafik Pictures! The race is caped at 54 racers so be there on time and be ready for some pain in this post hipster future!

The Take Over Race 2

Sean Martin and his camp have been known to throw the most interesting and fun filled races that Los Angeles has to offer. Sean and Take Over LA made use of Los Angeles’ land scape and threw an across town race from Venice Beach to The East Side. Here’s a little insight on some of the racers in this video. In the beginning you see Hern Montenegro along side some other Los Angeles Celebrities. Amongst Hern, we’ve got Jon B., Alonzo Tal and the Jr. Juicer Camp. Hern, Jon, and Zo have been battling it out for a couple summers now and always place relativity close to each other. These 3 gentlemen are great role models for the Jr. Juicers and young cyclist out here in LA. I know this because these kids are nipping at their heels.

One half of the two part duo that comprises TOLA!, Sean Martin has been on top of his game for quite some time now. From throwing some of the best organized events and hardest street races in Los Angeles consistently year after year, to being one of the founding members of Sound.Wavs (best doorman ever) and Team Captain of the Chubby Boob bike team (our good friends) Sean is really poised to Takeover LA (no pun intended). He will be hosting Saturday’s event for ya’ll, so come and crack a beer with the Ginger Kid from Alaska.

Sean:

“Because L.A. is such a car based city, you really do have to battle at times to get your space on the road. This is the one city (besides Anchorage, AK) where I have felt so much hate against you as a cyclist. Shit yelled at you, shit thrown at you, run off the road, alot of hit and runs, cut off, buzzed, etc… But it just makes you a better rider because you’re constantly on your toes, waiting for shit to go down. It’s a battle ground here, and everyday is like going to war on your bike. I love it and would never trade for any other city.

My favorite spot to ride in L.A. is just about anywhere with my homies. Just dipping through gridlocked traffic with your friends is the best. Star fighting around cars, and testing paceline skills, pushing each other to go faster everyday is the best part of riding in LA. If I had to pick on spot though… Griffith Park is amazing, an oasis in the middle of the city.

We have a really diverse bike community here in L.A., and I think that’s great. We have tons of bike events all the time, from huge social rides EVERY night, streets races EVERY weekend, to trick comps by the beach, there is always something going on.”

This past Sunday was the third installment of the Lord of Griffith. At the afterparty, we screened this short film we made from the very first LOG. We were there way back when, filming the first one and sponsoring it as well as the next two installments and beyond. Look how easy the racers had it for the first race! The last two years were so much more harder. Sean is a Sadist, in a good way. The brainchild of our rider Sean from TOLA!, the LOG course takes racers through the largest metropolitan park in the USA. Smack in the middle of Los Angeles, Griffith Park provides grueling climbs, technical downhills and a little traffic fighting on surrounding streets. Year after year this race keeps getting bigger and better. We hope to see ya’ll out there next year, we hope to have more out of towners, too! This is another DVD extra feature only available on the DVD. Get hype, it is dropping on 6/21/11!!!

Ballerina Black, this what I would have in my headphones for LOG lll this Sunday. Driving music to get you up those climbs. The kind of music that gets you moving around ever corner, picking the correct line through Traffic without even thinking about it. The kind of music that we are proud to have featured on TL&R. Relentless and thought provoking. Ballerina Black, get some here! Don’t forget 6/21/11, get your copy, so you can see how Ballerina Black makes us move!

6/21/11. So Close. Can you feel it? Lots of good things about to be announced and happening soon enough. We feel like we are just teasing ya’ll, when what we are trying to do, is whip you into a frenzy, then drop this film for the whole world to enjoy. Is it working? We hope so.
