Senior Year...

Transitions in life happen from time to time. Often they are welcomed and other times we are hesitant to accept the inevitability of change. It seems that this is a transition year for many of the Dead Deer, and I like to think of these years as "Senior Years". We are all graduating this year and to commemorate it I am hosting a photo/essay contest. Rules are as follows...

Photo:
1 - must look like a senior pic.
2 - must be in color (we are seniors now and that is our privilege).
3 - one or more of your bikes must be in the shot.

basically, think of the lame football player that posed with his Camaro.

Essay:
1 - one page or more essay about anything you want that relates to bikes in any way that you want to relate it to them. You could tell the story of your first bike, how a bike got you a girlfriend, how you think of the world as a big bike wheel and we all need to work together just like the spokes in a wheel do. Think of it as your final exam for Dead Deer High.


The best submission will receive a Dead Deer fannypack for their efforts.

Send all submissions to djmagicmetz@gmail.com due May 8th.

fixed gear nerds in denver (not us, the other dudes)

Schuyler, Metz and I went to Denver weeks ago to see the macaframa premier cause Cardiel has a part and schuylers a fixy nerd now. It was fun. We rode around the city and had some laughs (especially when schuyler jumped a 6 stair) Heres some pics.

So we thought the premier was at 7, so we where there... but it turns out that there was an alleycat... a little bummed.. we set off to have fun. This is us at the first bar stop having fun. We soon found out we were in last place (which we knew) but the people putting on the race were mad cause we didn't take the race seriously. We went to most of the stops though and took photos for proof.

kuulture stop? it was funny because even though Per lived there and joined us for the race we were riding in circles lost the whole time

Photobucket
13th and sherman was a stop, We'd bike to these places and nobody was there. We were that far behind, or were we that far ahead in the fun category?

Photobucket
