FInal Exam Jam 2007
Sunless Saturday
Ok, so the reason I brought my bike along was that Steve told me that there would likely be a bunch of street missions going down during the jam and I should bring my bike in case I didn't feel like standing in a parking lot all day. I was down. Except for running fron the cops, if the cops came I'd just take the ticket. So I sat, in the parking lot, bike at the ready, I looked up and everybody was *gone*.
Well, damn, give a brotha a heads up.
Turns out that they went out for a street mission and had pizza instead. Not so much that I wanted pizza, but I shouldn't have drank that extra bottle of water. Either way, I did end up sitting out in the parking lot for most of the day, checking out stuff like this...
This
is the second of the Canadian Brothers With Extremely Irish Names. You may
want to note how he has pegs where his cranks should go. I didn't notice
at first and was trying to figure out what's with the weird kid pumping
in a circle all the time. Turns out he wasn't weird, he was just strange.
Oh
yeah, here's his big (little? you think I'd remember who was older, but
seriously the same "great rack and names" rule applies) brother.
You may notice I have a lot of pictures of the Canuck Duo, it's because
they were constantly on their bikes in my face. you want your picture up
here with me mocking you, you do the same.
Or
not. I don't know who this kid is (not that it surprises anyone) he just
kinda rode on his own on the other end of the parking lot. I guess that's
what flatlanders do.
According
to Sean Deisel this kid's name is Isaiah "and he kills it" noted
and agreed. I remember the kid's only 19, but I don't know how long he's
been riding. I do know that he's likely better than you.
I
remember Frenchy from the Twilight comp. He was one of the Herre
Bros Bike Twins. I also vaguely remember that he's not actually french,
but Quebecois. I'm probably wrong about that, tho. If you haven't noticed,
I'm wrong about a lot. I am, however, humorous.
Seriously. Kills. It
Ok,
it's a sad but I'm about to reference WIll Smith AND Arsenio Hall. Ready?
Here we go. On an episode of Arsenio where he revealed to the world that
his name is "Willard Carroll Smith," Will Smith pointed out that
while wearing your hat forward and down low looks really good, it's horrible
on camera because no one can see your face. I can remember THAT, but I can't
remember your name. Still, unlike your name that made a good anecdote for
people shooting pictures both moving and still.
The
faceless one here was actually the poster boy for this year's FEJ and obviously
a fan of The Man.
Ohhhhhhh,
so close.
You
know, Faux Fox
News calls him "Freedomy."
At this point I should again mention the weather. You see both the day before and the day after the FEJ there were storms. Not little tiny storms, but millions of dollars worth of property damage from tornados storms. Sitting in a Waffle House can't see across the street storms. The day of the FEJ, yeah, seventy degrees, sunny, not a cloud in the sky, no humidity whatsoever. Crazy.
