Attention Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and Maryland... I'm in ur state and I'm using my butt quarters to pay your tolls.
NYC was so awesome I crapped my pants with shite from the skreets. (pictures soon)
Food delivery dudes on bikes can EABOD.
Brooklyn is fucking huge.
I did not 'wuss out'. I rode all the way to 98th looking for 100 Amsterdam... CK never saw Manhattan north of 38th (edit - and he totally missed out, Midtown is where the hills are and the drivers are like ATL).
Brakeless isn't as bad as it sounds... it's like shaving your downstairs.
Snow sucks, and so does the stuff it leaves behind on the INSIDE of my frame.
Gregg's new street name is "Dandylion".
NYC needs to export some of their hot girls down south.
I'm going to sleep.

you guys are famous!
Can I get your autograph?
Btw, CK is in the youtube video at the end in the bridge.
::edit:: I spent all evening last night checking and double checking youtube for that video and the bugger wouldn't load. Seriously happy that it did this morning.
congrats
Seth you looked fast as hell in the video. I can't believe Chris Cornell raced. He must have been rocking out whole time.
Nice work, guys. Looks like you rep'd A-Town like champs!
You couldn't see the 'fear
You couldn't see the 'fear sweat' dissolving the asphalt as I rode... fast indeed, but also scared shitless.
Another thing you really can't see/hear in the video is all the police sirens that started going off when we crossed Houston onto 1st Ave. Then the dude blowing up behind me and yelling "Fuck man GO GO GO GO". That is when the adrenaline took over.
that's rad
nice job, guys.
what i wanna know is, did the guy on the pennyfarthing finish? cause if he did, that's hard core.
there were three manifests
and he did the first and the third. which is still really hardcore.
I love that guy.
MT8 with a pennyfarthing. Seriously. We need more awesome crazy people here.
Bitchin' guys
Congrats on a job well done. Wish I coulda gone, but The Man, oh, The Man He make me work day and night...
Dang, thats awesome guys.I
Dang, thats awesome guys.
I can feel my own regret moving in like a noreaster.
I love the video, you guys were like a pack of killer african bees just swarming and then vanishing. ninja bees.
Did you see any Hess Dogs/WoF?
I think this photo is Jason?

yeah it is
and no other a-towners
Tokyo
Tokyo seemed to be reppin'.
the way i see it
other than the two kids from tokyo, i was the fist from out of the north east. and those boston kids deal with stuff just like new york.
side note: i would say we drove the furtherest. everyone further is too far to drive. yay us and sitting in cars for 15 hours.
The way I see it, you guys
The way I see it, you guys kicked some ass.
Looks like half the field was DNF, and you and Jason managed to finish in the top ~25%.
Did you have any trouble finding the checkpoints?
Were you guys even going balls to the wall?
Was getting thru the traffic a bitch?
PS. I see Luke Skywalker came in 86th.
the force
was not with him!
Boston doesn't count at all. ATL all the way yo. I also need you to explain the ripping something off a taxi to me again...
we road with the map close
we road with the map close at hand, but we had things memorized pretty well between the two of us. we road together the whole time and pretty hard. i think we both shoulder-checked a few people in cross walks, hit a number of mirrors, and i took one of the front vertical black rubber bumper thingy's off with my back wheel. So we wern't chillin, but i would say there was a little room to have gone faster. We would wait on eachother (jason and me) if needbe. BUT we prob wouldn't have been as fast without eachother so the way i see it it balances out.
ohhh
I can't believe that didn't f-up your back wheel. I wonder what the driver though. hehe
its a smidge
out of true, but other than that it good shape. I'm still waiting for a reasonable hour (not sure if shes awake yet) to call Rachael to break the news to her (because its her wheel). Panda said he'll true it up for me and I'll ask him to make sure there wasn't anything i missed but i rode on it for the rest of the race without any problems. no flats or anything.
Whoo Hoo, cab damage
YEAH! Fuck the working poor and those damn immigrants!
?
is the rout posted somewhere? ( or do you have it?)
the way it worked
There were three manifests: two manhattan and one brooklyn. You chose b/w the two manhattan manifests first. Everyone had to go to 61st st. first (so 63 blocks away from us) then do the rest of the checkpoints. Once you complete your first manifest you go back to the start to get the other manhattan one. Do all of it (don't go to 61st again) then go back for the brooklyn one. The last stop on there is the finish.
Manifest 1:
61st b/w 1st and 2nd ave.
The other BicyTaxi

all i know is the party was
all i know is the party was at trackstar. Thats where you had to write a 666 on your butt. That wasn't part of the official plan but people think of crazy things at parties that also happen to be race checkpoints.
I think
that crazy things should happen at Broken Hearts parties that also happen to be checkpoints.
We need to bump up the scene here yo.
we're working on it.
i agree.
yes, please.
glad you're inspired. now: go nuts.
-------------
I say the ----------- should make us do something crazy at their checkpoint.
And for all the rest of you manning a checkpoint, get creative! Please?
how about..
..not talking about the checkpoints on a public forum.
thats one thing i dont mind
thats one thing i dont mind -----ing out ;)

Sorry. :(
I didn't know that wasn't public knowledge. I tried to delete the post but it won't let me.

First manifest, other two checkpoints... I know this cause I lost it... 315W 38th and 100 AMSTERDAM.

While that looks like a whole lot of fun, it also kind of makes me go "Well no wonder NYPD is a bunch of a-holes towards CM."
You guys are fucking awesome!
Thanks for putting the ATL on the map. Finally, I someone from Atlanta repd at MT. I'm sooooo jealous. I really wanted to go but instead decided to design conference in Savannah that was on the same day. Seth you were looking strong in that video. Good work.

My stuff's up. Hit up the ckdake.com for details and pictures. I may put up more words later.
why does it look like this
why does it look like this car is still driving? tell me there was just a problem with your auto focus.
Its NYC, fool!
What, you think that'll stop anyone?
it looks that way because
it looks that way because thats how it is. Hence the picture. We weren't concerned enough to do anything about it, but we were concerned!
That reminds me of that
That reminds me of that scene from Tommy Boy in which the hood of their car flies up like that... then later on the deer wakes up and, well, you know the rest.
Crappy movies are great!
