So the messenger competition to shut down… It was a great time in Budapest, many messenger arrived not only from Europe. You know as well that Rie too from Nagoya with her coffee bike!!! (I have to tell You guys I never drink coffee, I don’t like it, but this is something different, so delicious… love it)

This 3 days past so fast, we had many program in the daytime: bike polo, foot down, sprint in Velodrome after we had a nice group ride in the city to the next place, what is an interesting old socialist factory. First night we had a fashion show and concert and we tried hungarian drinks!

The next two days was pretty hard, everybody ride hard and the rout was not easy. The main race, the skid, and everything was very exciting, we had girls as well too. One of the best race was the Gold Sprint, where Sarah from Britain was the fastest!
The factory was a good choose, because only we was there and it was so free feeling, like in a festival and we don’t had to worried about the bikes, it was such a nice landscape… everywhere bicycles!!!
So the Finals on Monday was really exciting, in the foot down finals Sabrina from Poland was the only girl Here You can check the results
We had there the youngest messenger too, Izuru&Izumi from Nagoya took the 2 years old baby, He is already riding… and You can see his messenger bag… ) so cute

Miss me so much this days… we had so much funs, everybody was so cool and nice, we had nice parties and now all around the world knows a bit about Hungary and Palinka (shot) …
Tuesday we had a sightseeing group ride with the Guide Kole from Canada who was a guide/messenger here in Budapest, I think it’s a beautiful city!
And thanks Rie, we had so great time together !!!

Warp Factor 9 Pilots Lee and Lewis.

Plunkett, winner of the Anti Gravity Races.

Frag, Skid Comp winner and Bee, First Female on points.

Jay, First Male on points and Track Stand Comp winner.

Lewis, First Male across the line.

Lee, First Female over the line.

Jay and Tarn demonstrate the Vulcan Vortex of Death. Riders hold a piece of rope with a monkey fist knot at each end, they circle around each other whilst trying to take the other rider out. If you let go of the rope, put your foot down or track stand you’re out, it was hilarious and there was some pretty spectacular stacks.

Jacky, managed to stay upright for 3 rounds of the Vulcan Vortex of Death and took the winners title and prize.

This is a really dark and unfortunately not very good quality video of the Vulcan Voretx of Death being played out by Jacky and Jay, but you can kinda get the idea of what’s going on.

The prizes were super awesome…. Big ups to the sponsors of Aloha Sunday!!

The day was kicked off with a trackstand water balloon toss:

Johnny won the guy’s division, and got his cute daughter to hold the loot! This photo will definitely melt the hearts of the sponsors.

The skid competition was intense! Yvonne rocked it!

The trick competition was so entertaining, with Lindsey wow-ing the crowd by surfing his bike down a ramp, barefooted.

My friend Tyler (aka Methdad) has organized an insane event in Murfreesboro, TN for next Saturday (April 10th). Keith and I will definitely be there, and any one who can make it out really should; this is going to be A LOT of fun! Full line up of bands can be found here.

“Tour de Fun is going to be a huge community bike ride, which will visit as many house shows as we can, with two bands playing 10 min sets each at each house. The cookout starts at 3pm at MOAB; bring some food and throw it on the grill. During the cookout there will be a foot down competition, trick competition, sprints, and a raffle. Around 6:30pm everyone will go to the first house, see two bands, then go to the next and see two bands, and so on. The ride will end at the Temptation Club, where there will be some more bands, d.j.’s, food, drinks, friends, and fun. The date for the ride is Saturday April 10th. Tour de Fun is the first step at creating a more tight and friendly bike community. It will also be showcasing a list of local artist and bands.” -Tyler Walker
