There are two short question and answer profiles up on the Bootleg Sessions site. Mosher's profile has been up for quite a while but Briggs' profile just went up today.

NEW SHIRTS!

Well it's been a long time coming but the new shirts are done and here's a little sneak peak at the new design. We'll have them available early next week so stay tuned to see the shirts and go pick up one at your local bike shop.

Tobias Romaniuk Photos

I recently stumbled upon some old Tobias Romaniuk photos that I don't think ever made it up on the blog and I just thought I would share. Tobias is easily one our favorite photographers and these are just a couple images I really like.
Ten Ten killing it!

Shop Till You Drop Alleycat

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of helping out with an alleycat here in Toronto. This is the first one that I've been directly involved with here in Toronto and it was a blast. I ended up working a check point with my buddy BJ Rossiter up at Yorkdale Mall in northern Toronto. We had people running through the mall with there bikes and stealing popcorn from kids at the movie theater. We also had blizzard like conditions so the race was seriously sketchy. A huge thanks goes out to Toby Spunt for throwing such an awesome event and for everyone who came out and raced or worked check points. Here are a few photos taken by Christopher Kaiser (who I do not know but stumbled on them through Facebook, hopefully he won't mind us posting them).

News


We'll it's December already and the weather has taken a serious turn for the worst (I think it's -6 degrees outside right now). I've riden in snow more than a few times already this year and I'm trying to adjust to this Toronto winter.

We've got a few things happening here at Skitch. First up we've got a new T-shirt design dropping just in time for Christmas. I will have pictures up as soon as possible and they'll be for sale through paypal within the next few weeks. We're really excited about this one and we hope you all are as well.

In team news we've got a some stuff happening. Tom Mosher was recently hooked up by Volume Bikes and can now be found pushing the limits on his Volume Cutter. Way to go Tom. Bootleg Sessions 3 is also in the works and it looks like both Mosher and myself (Tom Briggs) will be appearing in the next installment of everyones favorite fixed gear freestyle video series. We're super pumped to be involved in the project and have started logging as much footage as we can.

Also the new issue of Cog Magazine should be out in the near future with our new ad featuring our newest team rider. Look out for that at your local bike shop. They also have a new photo book dropping soon and that we're all super pumped about. Be sure to pick up a copy of the book through their website. Our good friend and collaborator Tobias Romaniuk will have a few photos in there. Way to go Tobias!

Just to make sure this post isn't entirely text I've included a new video of Tom Mosher shredding the hell out of a parking garage on a cold evening here in Toronto.
