Appetite for Destruction^{1}

I’ve been fiddling with a few bikes lately and one that’s been giving me a little trouble is Jordan’s “Laser Quest” which, despite my best efforts, kept throwing her chain which obviously is a bad thing to happen when riding in these mean streets. Eventually I got fed up and just swapped out the hollow / quick release axle for a nice solid axle with track nuts on it & a new BMX Cog. She’s been riding a lot nicer since and hopefully is making Jordan very happy – she just moved here from out of town so it’s nice for her to be able to get around quickly and safely.

Next up is this frankenbike (Toby’s old whip) we’re naming “Turbo Turbo” that a few of us have been working on for JD so hopefully within a day or two it’ll be on the street – I suspect that this front wheel needs an axle replacement as well so hopefully I’ll have time to grab parts and bang that out right away.

Late night ride to the Leslie Spit – we couldn’t really even see each other until the camera flash went off – kinda spooky but super fun. Shout-out to Erin from New Mexico (Grey Beater – Camo Cap) – he’s also new in town and is a super nice dude so if you see him rolling around on any of these: 1 2 3 go and say what’s up:

PS How much does this suck?
