Jesse was the first person (that we know of) to ever slide a handrail on a fixed gear, here he hits it on his Dropout while filming for Bootleg Sessions Vol 4.

One of my first rides on the first gen Big Block proto, this was taken outside of Matt’s bar in South Minnie. I won this coozie at Stupor Bowl, big thanks to Freight Baggage for the awesome prize.

Another one from the early days of the Big Block. Was racing some friends down Hennepin when I got popped by the police for running a red. The ticket was like $150, but I got this photo which is a personal favorite. That bike is way too much fun to ride traffic on.

This was taken during filming for BSV4 by Vince. Mike throws the front wheel sideways while jumping a 9 stair on his Dropout. A beautiful shot and a nice trick.

Here I (Jeff) am accepting the award for first place men’s speed race at Stupor Bowl 13. If you know me then you know how much I love racing alleycats. It was a pretty big deal for me to finally pull off a victory in the largest alleycat in the world. That bag was made by local Minneapolis messenger Andy Larson of Trash Bags.
I forgot where this photo comes from but it might be Deplaqer
This is the scene of the start of Stupor Bowl 13. I believe the total amount of riders was around 380. The buliding in the background is the Guthrie theater. This has to be one of my favorite photos from Stupor Bowl, all the riders, the hill at Gold Medal Park, and the skyline and Guthrie in the background. Simply awesome.

This lovely shot was taken in Seattle by our friend Volare_ism. The rider is our man Chris Clappe and the spot is a rusty barge.

This was taken under an overpass in Milwaukee where we had stopped to drink some beers. (if you haven’t taken the time to drink beer under a bridge lately, we highly recommend it) I’ve seen that eye in many spots in Minneapolis and we were stoked to see it on the train. The composition of the shot is perfect and I think very moving. We were/are living the good life.
