Vancouver At The CMWC 2008

So the worlds were last week in Toronto and a few of Vancouver's finest made it out there for the event. Unfortunately none of us here at Skitch were able to go but it looks like are friends all had an awesome time. Here are some photos of the Vancouver Crew hanging out and gettin loose in TO.









Thanks to Nikcee and a couple other random flickr pages for the photos.

Face Magazine

We got a little blurb written about our Skidding Tee in Face Magazine. I believe it's a Chinese Magazine but beyond that I can't really tell you much. I just thought I would post it along with the rest of the article on Fixed Gear culture.
Here's the Cover

Cog Magazine Issue 3

New Cog Magazine available now!!! Bike shops around the world are stocking these, so you don't have any excuss not get your hands on one of these. Check out the new Skitch ad on page 2!.

Summer Series Round 2: Night of the Living Dead went down last night and it was a blast. A big thank you goes out to Nik and Duncan who consistantly put on the best events in this city. Congratulations to Nick Berry for taking home first place. I would also like to thank Morgan and Travis for shooting this pics that I poached off of Fixed Vancouver.

Starting line for the second heat. (from left to right: Nick B, Me (Tom), Meat, Rob and Pete)
Me out front at the end of the first lap (that didn't last long) Nick Berry close behind and ready to take the win!
Apparently Mike was thinking of riding backwards the whole race and wanted to get a little more aero!
Morgan cresting the hill.
Hooper was absolutely crushing this course and ended up finishing in second place.
Rob's 2001 KHS Flite 100 after going straight into a wall. He was right behind me when it happened and the sound of him hitting the wall was pretty crazy.
Fresh pavement and skidmarks, is there anything better?

Red Bull/Colnago/Super Champion

1st Place is round trip airfare to Toronto for the CMWC's! Need I say more!

Gang Bang

Ok everyone here's another race sponsored by Skitch Clothing. This one is going down in Denver and is going to be awesome. A dusk till dawn team scavenger hunt! A big thanks goes out to Jennifer and everyone else who helped put this race on!

(Click on the title at the top of this post)

There is a Stick to the Union Race video up on Kirk Mastin's blog, go there and check it out. Once again a big thanks goes out to Ryan and everyone else that put this race on.

Stick to the Union

Yep it is definitely that time of year where races are sprouting up everywhere. If you're in Seattle on April 26th, go mash some gears at the Stick to the Union race. If you're fast enough you might win some Skitch stuff. Big thanks go out to Ryan and all the other organizers for putting this race on, I'm sure it's going to be a blast.
