The Radavist

Here’s the first Red Hook Crit Milano video I’ve found on Vimeo or Youtube that’s worth posting. It catches some spills at that turn everyone was complaining about as well as the final moments in the race, leading up to the finish sprint, which I still haven’t seen any video of. Who’s got it?

So far, these are the best photos I’ve seen from the 2012 Red Hook Crit Milano and they’re really great. See the rest of Marco’s photos here, at his portfolio site!

Stanridge Speed now has two Red Hook Crits under their rider’s bibs. This year in Milano, Evan Murphy took first. See the rest of the results here.

Tom just sent over this photo of Ty blasting the box jump at Cross Vegas from a different angle. This shot gives you an idea of how long the run up was. So sick! Oh and Mr. Ghillie’s expression is priceless.

It’s almost the weekend and the mud is calling. Thanks CX Hairs!

The competitors list for the forthcoming Red Hook Crit Milano has been announced. Head over now to see who will gunning for it and make your pick for the champion. Anyone got a good guess?

It’s cross season and King Kog‘s team is out in full swing. Last weekend, Wilis shot some photos of their team, including the ladies! I love this photo so much. I can’t wait to see these two smiling faces in a few weeks. Check out moe muddy action here.

Year after year, this event comes up and I always want to make it out. Too bad this year, my October is booked up! If you can make it, do! It’ll be a blast. Check out more info here.

The 2012 Rapha North West Gentlemen’s Race was a lot of fun to photograph and this video gives you some insight as to how grueling it was to participate. The teams started off, with a general idea of the course, since it’s a popular ride in Portland but finished not knowing what hit them. After 120 miles, they climbed 12,000′ of elevation. But man, that scenery! See more here, including photos and my coverage below.

I met Tayler, the team photographer for Richard Sachs at the Red Hook Crit dinner this year. She’s a very talented photographer and I’ve long admired her work, before I even knew who she was. Head on over to her Flickr for color photos and her Tumblr for some more black and whites.

I’ve also embedded a slideshow from her Flickr below if you’re feeling click-through lazy.

So yeah, the Red Hook Crit Milano sign up came and went (sorry for not posting that up) but a full roster means another packed year with an ever-increasing sense of competition. And with the prizes this year, there’s no wonder people will be gunning for it.

Check out the full shot of the 2012 Red Hook Crit Milano prize Vigorelli below, along with some other teasers!

Hey remember when every track bike video had excessive slow motion?…

Rapha takes on Super Cross in my favorite city in the world, Melbourne. Hell yes to the Bottles N Chains and Hellkrew cameos. And is that Sime wearing corpse paint?!

The San Jose bike shop iMinusD is celebrating 3 years this weekend. iMinusD have been supporters of this site since they opened their doors and I wish them all the best for the forthcoming years. Head over to their blog to see what else is going down this weekend!
