The Shiner G.A.S.P. Ride is an annual 100 mile long ride from Austin to Shiner, Tx. It’s a fun ride that raises thousands for the United Way and it ends at the Shiner Brewery for a big party. Sandy Carson went out on the ride this year and sent back this report…
Sandy Carson has organized a near 1000 mile bike ride from Seattle to San Francisco to raise money for the Humane Society.
Check out this link if you’d like to help some poor little puppies and kitties. We’ll be heading out for the pedal in June so look for daily updates then.
Our own Sandy Carson is just back from a trip out to far West Texas. He wrote up a little journal post…
This road is featured in the movie 'No country For Old Men', but where does it end?
Just been out to the West Texas desert last week, for a couple of photo assignments in Marfa and Marathon. Of course, having time to kill, I had to take the road bike and take advantage of the epic rides and cinematic scenery there. Nothing like being eaten up by an endless expanse of Chihuahuan Desert to clear the head.
Sandy has a little write up over on Feature Shoot.com about his on going cat trapping series.
I love to tease Sandy about being a crazy cat person but in reality he’s just a nice guy who wants to save kitties from a life on the streets.
Read more about what he’s up to (and marvel at some telling photos) here.
Sandy Carson took this photo which we turned into an ad.
Fairdale friend Ryan Worcester is helping some kids out with a skatepark. Looks like a really cool program. The kids get to learn how to run the park, maintain the park and of course have fun at the park. There’s a little video on the kickstarter page that’s worth a watch here.
Sandy Carson launched an entirely rebuilt website. It’s pretty amazing with in depth looks at some of his projects. I especially like (and am disturbed by) the “Just Do It” project feed that the photo above is from. Check out Sandy’s work here.
Volunteer Human Society Cat Trapper/ Fairdale Team rider Sandy Carson spotted this amazing Cat 1 rider yesterday cruising the streets of Austin.
Sandy Carson was in a Slideshow Potluck art show the other night. Here’s his segment from the show. Always such awesome photos from Mr. Carson. Watch the show on Vimeo Here
Long time friend and all around great guy Sandy Carson is now a part of Fairdale’s team. It’s true that we don’t really have a team but starting right now we are going to begin putting together a small group of awesome folks who like to ride bikes.
And now here’s part 2 of Sandy Carson’s down under cycling tour adventure (you can catch Part 1 here)…
The 2 weeks flew by in Australia and I was already regretting only having a week to enjoy New Zealand’s South Island as I flew in. I’ve always wanted explore NZ and i’m sure it won’t be the last. Need. More. Time. ugh!
Flying over the glaciers and making a to do list. Hike, ride, explore, skydive? getting ADD already.
So let’s see… to be fair Sandy Carson’s bicycle tour of Australia/ New Zealand was before he was actually on the Fairdale team and he’s not actually on a Fairdale. Still, his bike does have a Fairdale sticker on it and he had a great adventure we want to show you. Plus, yes, he is almost officially on the Fairdale team that we are starting of awesome people who ride bikes. Once he signs his contract we’ll give you a good bunch of info on BMX legend/ Austin’s favorite photographer/ veggie powered cyclist Sandy Carson.
Check out Sandy’s trip through his photos and words below. Part 2 which covers his New Zealand leg will be here sometime next week- Taj
We better hurry up and put this bike out right? Geared Fairdale we are calling the “Weekender” is coming in early 2012!
