Chrome "Scabs" Photo Contest

Photo by Jason Rosete


You guessed it. Chrome's got yet another photo contest. This one's about eating shit and taking a picture.

In proper Halloween fashion, they're making a call for submissions of the most grotesque, unsightly, or otherwise terrifying result of a spill on a bicycle this month. So submit by next Friday (28th) to chrome@chromebags.

They'll upload them to their “SCABS” photo album each day. Rack up the most “Likes” on your photo by the 31st of October and you’ll win their prize package:

(1) Black/Orange Chrome Yalta Backpack
(1) Black/Orange Chrome Rook Wallethttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
(1) First-Aid Kit

They'll announce the winner on Halloween right here on Facebook!
(One submission per person, no stock images please).

And I'm gonna be biased and ask everyone to like my good friend Jason Rosete's image. He's a part of Macaframa and one talented photographer. Plus, it's Congo! Follow this link to his page and LIKE.

Nashville : To Hell & Back Alleycat

To Hell & Back from Ryan Green on Vimeo.

It's that time of year! Grab your best costume and find your halloween alleycat. Nashville's got one going on called, "To Hell & Back Alleycat" and they made a movie for it. I'm pumped to see stupid costumes on roaming SF.

Krit Kat Race Recap

19 racers, 3.5 laps, 11 miles, and 45 minutes later, we got ourselves some wieners. Big ups to Jeremiah who took first and skitched every hill he could. On the first lap, trailing behind him was the Yung Marc Marino and the Yung Steve Tortorelli. Steve bails out after he's tagged into work, but not before looping a second time around.
