85 miles

Ok…. Let’s keep this short. It’s almost midnight and I’m tired. We didn’t really ride that far by our standard, but we did ride ALL DAY LONG.

Fairdale has now taken over Brazil. Reminds me of my Irish friends band who I helped release their CD in the USA a few years ago called “I Am Brazil“.

They are currently touring Japan.

CH4D Treanor helped us out with a little promo for the Skaterack.  Gives a little insight into our intense R+D program too.

Perry Mervar – AFA Austin, TX 1989 from 990Adjustments on Vimeo.

I don’t feel like I get to see enough Perry Dooms these days (jumping from back pegs to grip ride). It would be even more impressive with 10 inch tall bars. Its a great run from back in the day, but check 02:19 especially.

I was looking around today for cool ideas and found a few that really deserved to be brought together. We could just be happy riding around on a plain old normal bike or we could invent something totally sweet!

F-1 bikes are so ready for a comeback. Can Fairdale make them please please! Imagine Crabon Fiber® fairing paired with wheel discs! It could be amazing.

I actually witnessed one of the few F-1 races at a NBL national BMX race at Waterford Oaks, MI back in the 1900’s. I wanna’ say Tinker Jaurez won just prior to taking over mountain biking. It was so weird. People racing around haybales in a parking lot with oval sprockets.

This guys got Penny Farthing shoes! An obvious natural progression from penny loafers I guess.

Off Road roller skates skis? I actually used to work at a cross country ski rental place when I was like 13. I remember using something sort of like this that was some early version of a summer time cross country ski. Kind of fun and the advertising media show clear babe getting potential.

Did I ever tell you about the time I was at a dirt jumping comp in Australia and there were off road roller bladers hired to jump the jumps? It was carnage!!!

Snakeboards! Shimy, shimy and shimy for speed!

Get razor-scootin!

I know, I know.. razor scooter killers!

I guess this is kind of like riding a rolling stool around?

I’m kind of into surfing on a remote control car. Seems like a pretty cool thing to do.

I know not everyone lives in Austin or gets to ride 3 miles of the 9 miles to work on a quiet bike path along a river, but I sure am grateful I do! Just had one of those days where I can’t understand why anyone would be in a car… well, that and my car broke down again and was towed away.

I need a better dog carrying solution. I’m thinking it might time for some kind of cargo bike… or hell, we made a skaterack… maybe some kind of dog rack?

Jim Bauer is a man of many hats. Known for daredevil pro BMX riding, creative designing (for Odyssey, Sunday and even Fairdale), snazzy dresser and being an all around cool dude. Here he bombs his custom Fairdale down a hill in Long Beach that is so steep its illegal to ride a bike down it. He even gives his Parser’s Kevlar belted Continental tires a good test when he monster trucks through a broken cracked up part of the road at top speed.

Jim has done some of the scariest things ever on a bike. This Jeff Z photo is from Ride.

Always looking for new ways to see things Jim Bauer completely customized his Fairdale Parser in copper… came out pretty didn’t it?

JB’s one of a kind custom Fairdale sits on the end of the Fairdale line just to show off a bit.

The North American Cycle Courier Championships were held in Austin this past weekend. I spent the weekend out at the races trying to understand what was going on and enjoying the fun.

Monty gives a Fairdale a run for its money, and then sadly injures his foot on a sharp clam shell and must be carried home. Give the little dude some props for that leap!

Also, Fairdale’s are finally arriving in some far away places.
Australia has received their shipment (Australian people go here: BMX International).
UK is covered by IMG (get a Fairdale through these dudes in the UK).

Our friend Nuno takes his Fairdale for a cruise.
