Deathbowl To Downtown

Friends of Good Problem, Buddy Nichols and Rick Charnoksi, are almost done with their latest and possibly last skate film — Deathbowl To Downtown — a documentary about skateboarding in New York City, and guess what ...
It's already the best thing you've ever seen.

As God Intended

"30 year old 10-speeds with tapeless bars, bottomed-out seats, one piece forged steel cranks and stamped dropouts are going to be hot in 2008."

Get Awesome

Today, March 10, is International Day of Awesomeness. It is also Chuck Norris' birthday. So, if you are feeling sad today, stop being sad and get awesome instead. It is also a good idea to tell everyone about International Day of Awesomeness. Announce it in meetings, have a special moment with your kids when you pick them up from school, high five the parking garage guy, or play guitar while wearing an adidas jacket and nike gloves or something. Anyway, do whatever defines your awesomeness today. And let everyone know. Stay awesome!

Mister Lynch

I made this video flyer to help promote Joey Lynch's first solo art exhibition in Omaha. His new work is fresh. Check it!

But is just as important...Let it fall down.

Bike Snob

I've been reading this blog for the last few days and it's so funny. A critical look at cycling.

More Carts, More Darkness

Filmmaker Murray Siple just gave us a call to say that there's a newer, better trailer up for Carts of Darkness.

Check it, don't wreck it.

Yah. Kraftwerk.
You may have guessed, but now it's confirmed—musical genius and obsessive-compulsive cyclists.

You like, yah?

Psst. You wanna buy a letter O?

I'm sure the top 25 will include Kermit, Big Bird, Oscar, Elmo, Grover, Fozzie, Animal, and Miss Piggy (these were frighteningly easy to rattle off), but for now here are the bottom 25 of the 50 Greatest Muppets.

They're Getting The Band Back Together

Spinal Tap is definitely against the whole devistation thing.

(Click on the video link a few paragraphs down to see the short film.)

So, Prince and Michael Jackson are at this James Brown concert ...

It sounds like the beginning to a really good joke, but instead it's the best thing ever.

Czech Your Head

We went to the Czech fest at the Moose Lodge on Sunday.

Top Shop!

We just got back from the 5th annual Top Shop weekend up at 3rd Lair in Minneapolis.
Good stuff, Maynard.

Unstoppable

Friend of GP and author of “The Answer Is Never: A Skateboarder’s History of the World.” Jocko Weyland has had a piece on fixed gear bikes published in the New York Times.

Check it out by clicking here.

While you're there, reading each and every one of Jocko's well-crafted words, click on the interactive feature "The Fixers." Another cool and diverse view on the phenomena of never coasting.

Ayyyyyyyyyy!
