Fuck Gas

Leland is the closest thing I’ve got to a brother these days and if you’re interested in learning a little bit about the 7 brain cells behind Shitluck Clothing head on over to ChopCult.com and read their interview with him. Sitting back and thinking about some of the shit we’ve been through together it’s a wonder we’re still alive a lot of the time.

The Shitluck site is currently undergoing a complete makeover as well as the brand in general. Leland has decided to go after the motorcycle and billiards markets basicly in order to encompass everything else he’s into doing these days. Next up I would expect him to go after the home improvement market and start sponsoring weekend gardeners and landscape architects. Eitherway check out the new site and you can also buy a handful of shirts directly from the Shitluck store page or if what you’re looking for isn’t there try the BMX distribution site Sidewall, this is Mat Hoffman’s distro and they’ve got a lot of good crap over there too. Enjoy.

This one looks like a doozie. I don’t know what the hell goes through these kids’ minds these days. This is the trailer for the new We the People video coming out this summer. That Shitluck shirt at the end is Chester, and jumping off a building onto a handrail is just stupid, but that’s what it takes I guess. Thanks to Dig for the post.

Shitluck Clothing has a few things new over in Scottsdale. One being, Leland living alone, haven’t you heard, it’s the new black and everybody’s doing it. It is pretty awesome if I do say so myself. Anyway, Shitluck. Right now, you can get an oldie but a goodie for $15 shipped in the form of one of the OG shirts, “Jesus hates Pussies”. As well, they’ve hooked up with the Condor and Side Wall Distribution and now have a bigger, badder and radder online store. Step right up and buy some crap.

I really don’t have a damned thing to post about so I’m just flying by the seat of my pants here… It would appear On Your Left finally has shirts available and speaking of shirts, it’s official. Shitluck is being distributed by Sidewall Distribution, a.k.a. Hoffman Bikes, in the US. A friend emailed me about it this morning which I found wierd cause he read about it at Bicycle Retailer. Must mean it’s slow in the bike biz indeed. Fall is here and while cross is in full swing, shops are slow as all get out. Me included of course. Sure, I should be building a wheel right now, but I thought of all you loyal readers out there and didn’t want to let you down. I know I’ve been flakey on updates lately, but I’m looking to turn that around. Thanks for your patience dear one.

So now that the gears are turning, let’s get down to business. There’s a cross race in Bloomington this Sunday and somebody needs a ride. Okay, not so much needs. but would greatly like such a thing. I can offer some beer and gas money in exchange for a seat for my person and bicycle. Let’s talk. Other than that, I ain’t got shit. Still haven’t registered for the U.S. Gran Prix (next weekend) which means I’ll be starting even further back but fuck it. I’m Cat4 and we race at 8:30 in the morning. Like I’ve said elsewhere, none of us are racing to pay the rent or mortgage so everyone needs to start enjoying themselves a bit more and stop taking the crap so damn serious. Have a beer and laugh… during the race.

Unfortunately I do not get to go enjoy the SSCXWC this of the last year at it’s Portland address do to courts, lawyers and that of which attempting to keep my ass out of any prolonged periods of incarceration, so below is a video of last year for your and my enjoyment. Thanks to those that emailed for the offers of help and housing for what would have been my stay in your fair town. Enjoy the race and have a beer for me.

We’ve got beer, bikes and a grill - what else could you need for a hearty Saturday night? How about prizes from Nutcase Helmets, Shitluck Clothing, Urban Velo, Liberty Tattoo & Art Parlor, Spokepunchers and possibly FBM Bikes if that box from John Paul shows up today…

As far as that grill goes, don’t be scared to bring a sort of side dish or some chips. Suzanne plans on bringing her lintel burgers (which fucking rule!), 40’s of High Life will be available as well so contribute to the cause you free loaders!

Just 3 days away from the beginning of my recently lusted after (by myself) cyclocross career and I’m ready to both pee my pants and have my ass handed to me. While I can unfortunately only attend Sunday’s festivities, I am stoked to be doing so none the less. Looking at the pre-registered rider list it appears I will be starting about midfield (approx 20th) so far, as bib #115. If you’re there, look for me and yell at me to stop being such a pussy and pedal harder. Afterwards, I plan on enjoying a few beers while watching some better riders than I. Hope to see you there!

In other news, the prizes are flowing in for the 2nd Annual 40oz Fun Run. So far we look to be handing out goodies from FBM Bikes, Spokepunchers, Shitluck Clothing and Liberty Tattoo & Art Parlor.

I have to say this is really one of the most clever ones Leland has come up with. Not sure what will be up for grabs or anything else for that matter… but I’m in full support. Be at On Your Left Cycles/City BMX Sunday, April 12 at 3pm. While I’m sure there will be multiple bunnies in attendance, I just hope Jesus shows up. Let the good times… hop.

Winter sucks - cold ass temperatures, grey skies and short days don’t exactly scream bike ride but what the hell do we care - we ride at night anyway and we own gloves and balaclavas! Come warm yourself up at On Your Left Cycles January 16th at 8pm for the Fuck Gas “We Don’t Give a Shit How Cold it is… Penguin Waddle.” We know you don’t want to be out there freezing your ass off for too long so seeing that January is the coldest month of the year on average here in Louisville, we’re making this one short.

Join us for an 8 mile loop starting and ending at On Your Left Cycles at 618 Baxter Avenue. You’ll also be able to enjoy some free hot coffee or even a cold beer - don’t be scared to bring your own though as the beer won’t last long. Finally, we’ll end the night with more freebies - a showing of the Mash SF video.

Support comes from Lattitude Zine, Shitluck Clothing, Liberty Tattoo & Art Parlor, On Your Left Cycles, Urban Velo.

So the flyer really says it all, but I figure I need to write something down here to make it a complete post…

Anyway, if you’re in, around or want to head to upstate New York, here’s a reason. Leland is turning 34 next month and instead of staying here and celebrating with us, he’s heading to New York. Whatever.
