Here are the photos I took when I wasn’t riding during the Red Bull Ride + Style in San Francisco. You can find more on my Flickr. I also just want to take this time to give a huge thanks to Red Bull and Aaron for putting on this event. It was awesome, and I had so much fun! I especially want to say thanks to Emma for being so supportive of me and my riding. You are the absolute best, and I seriously appreciate everything you’ve done for me!

This past weekend’s Red Bull Ride + Style was even more awesome than it was promised to be. The closed course crit races were intense, and the freestyle course saw a lot of bangers. Here are a few pictures Keith took during the event. You can find more here. [Read more →]

Kozo, a rider from Japan, landed a fixed back flip in front of hundreds of people at the first Red Bull Ride + Style event in San Francisco last Saturday, April 30th. The sun was shining and tons of people came out to watch the event, which featured a track race and a trick competition. There was only one female participant this time around but hopefully as events like this become more common we’ll see more girls getting involved.

Every Wednesday except the last Wednesday of the month, BBG KCMO will be hosting single speed, free or fixed, races at Westport High School Track. Free to enter, prizes for the fastest one to complete 20 laps. Come out and give it a go. Starts around 6:30. Even if you aren’t down to race, bring a brew, trick, or just chill fun times to be had by all.

Have a dream place to ride, why there?

Hhmm… only a place that we can easily and comfy to ride and do tricks. so far, I don’t know where that place could be. but maybe I really want to ride or tricks in the airport. I think it’ll be cool.

Trick bike,  cause I love do tricks. I love when i played and drowning to it, be “one” with it. Love the challenge. I can dropped hard on it, I can ride fast with it, without worried to brake it. Maybe I could describe it with one word; “tough”.

On Monday, a Punani Pedal Club ride happened around town, visiting Christmas tree park, Magic Island and downtown. Sadly, the ladies were way outnumbered by the guys, but we still had fun! Everyone was respectful and the group stuck together well.. overall, awesome! (Photos: Michael Keany)

And finally, we welcomed a new member to our Honolulu bike family, Eilif from Oregon who escaped the cold and landed in Hawaii with just his bike and trailer and is living off the land. Shoots! (Photos: Michael Keany)

I’ve been breaking in my new All-City Dropout this past week and today I rode this bank I found near my new house. I met up with my sister Ali and she was able to get a couple of shots of me riding before it got too dark. You can check them out on my flickr, but I really like this one!
