Check out this rad new promo for the Lotek SF video, which should be out by Interbike. Sweet job Marco.

*sarcasm alert* Caution: slightly on the artsy tip. Don’t be mad. 

Hit up the Lotek vimeo page for more vids each month.

Verde has just released the entry-level Vex complete.

Having worked at a bicycle company and helped develop completes, I can definitely way that dropping a $250 bike with a 12t cassette, mid BB, brand name components (Odyssey pedals and Duo grips!), and this much attention to detail is not easy to do. Personally I’m pretty excited to see complete bikes becoming so attainable and looking this good.

Check it out here.

Out of all the blogs I check, I get real psyched to check Kanye’s blog. The content is pretty good, but I do admit there is just come copy and past stuff that he throws up… But it’s dope to see someone with his status, still getting psyched about so many dope things. I am also very impressed with how much he updates it. Being on the road right now, I struggle to find something to post about, and I’ve only been out for a few days. Kanye is on the road pretty much full time and still manages to throw lots of posts up on a very regular basis. I guess if you are always traveling, you just get used to it… He just did some posts form the opening of the Bape LA store and a pretty funny video of him playing connect four with Super Bad’s Jonah Hill.

Check out Kanye’s blog here and watch him playing connect four after the jump.

Theres a really good article in New York Magazine which explains how we’re ruining our feet by wearing shoes. It’s very interesting and I’d recommend reading all of it, but here’s an excerpt to get you going:

Try this test: Take off your shoe, and put it on a tabletop. Chances are the toe tip on your shoes will bend slightly upward, so that it doesn’t touch the table’s surface. This is known as “toe spring,” and it’s a design feature built into nearly every shoe. Of course, your bare toes don’t curl upward; in fact, they’re built to grip the earth and help you balance. The purpose of toe spring, then, is to create a subtle rocker effect that allows your foot to roll into the next step. This is necessary because the shoe, by its nature, won’t allow your foot to work in the way it wants to. Normally your foot would roll very flexibly through each step, from the heel through the outside of your foot, then through the arch, before your toes give you a powerful propulsive push forward into the next step. But shoes aren’t designed to be very flexible. Sure, you can take a typical shoe in your hands and bend it in the middle, but that bend doesn’t fall where your foot wants to bend; in fact, if you bent your foot in that same place, your foot would snap in half. So to compensate for this lack of flexibility, shoes are built with toe springs to help rock you forward. You only need this help, of course, because you’re wearing shoes.

I asked Dave Jacobs a few questions regarding his Video Spots and just video/web stuff in general.

Randy Taylor is one of my favorite dudes to watch whenever some Mutiny or V-Club footage pops up, so I’ve asked him to fill in some blanks for us.

I’ve procrastinated on posting this for so long because I wanted to say something worthwhile about this site and maybe even highlight some of the more interesting articles… but after a year of contemplating I realized they’re ALL interesting. I think this site is smart and funny and generally on point so I’ll just give you this

link to it

…and hope you go check it out. It’s about organizing your living/working space and subsequently enjoying a better life.

Actually I will highlight one thing… check out “Unitasker Wednesdays” where they tear apart all those single-use gadgets that you buy on an infomercial whim and regret later when you realize it’s taking up 2 square feet of your 400 square foot apartment and seriously hampering your ability to prepare baked jalapeno halibut and lemon asparagus for your guests (or even think straight while you’re drinking a Labbatt’s Blue in sweatpants on your couch).
