Its time for our never before annual punnishment post, where we make lots of lame jokes by replacing our normal vocabulary with phrases like, "Good as Ghoul" and ... eh actually no we don't need any sort of holiday to make talking like an idiot more appropriate because we do that kinda think nearly every time we post.
Given that we are coming up on a return to Colorado with screenings in Denver, Ft Collins, Boulder and Colorado Springs in November and that it is another political season it seemed appropriate to share some of our back log of exciting images from years past. Prepare your saddle for our way in the back machine as we travel to this date in 2008!
Seven years ago we had a plucky crew of reverend phil, Josh and Spencer aka Team Twink traversing the US Southwest on a mountain-bike-polo-porno-adventure. Politics were in high season. John McCain and Sarah Palin were on a similar wavelength: go to Colorado and convince people that we are not only amusing to listen to, we also have some really valuable ideas on politics. It would seem Bike Smut was a little more successful than McCain/Palin 08.
So it was that we would ride bikes with some of the finest, most creative mtn bike freaks on earth in the town of Durango, Colorado
perhaps a modified Gumby Twink costume...
hella political... no matter what year it is
The sweet babes were naturally drawn to our casual, pornographer-about-small-town ways
naturally, a photoshoot broke out
baldness became fashionable
The Rally of the Dead became a full on rolleskater disco
occasionally bursts of romance would burst like so many popping veins
notice the cross of Bicycle Jesus. For formal occasions only.
way before Twilight there was... a delightful bloody mess
some asshole parked on the dance floor. It probably wasn't us!
roll up and grind down
an epic story about this, Baily's frame should be documented. but not here. Suffice it to say if you know where it is buried you could grave rob a sweet frame.
more responsible consumption continued throughout the following day and night
We never did actually check this person's ID. prb for the best that we didn't
An impressive assortment of boning happened on the award table
the following day was a lot of bike polo, played on grass, right in the middle of town
grass polo... its a thing, especially in Colorado
nothing would stop us from standing and observing others.
we do suffer for the art... well someone does anyway.
Presenting the team that traveled the farthest to loose a polo game on grass: The Pork Barrels
free hugs?
So here is where we wish you a Happy Halloween. Also something about
politics and a cute play on words to make this entire blog post seem
well thought out.
One of the joys of going on tour to all these fine "fucking bike friendly" places is the great events that we are able to take part in (or even better, become part of!)
Such was the case last year as part of the Westward Ho! tour in Durango, CO.
We wont be the 1st to call Durango bikers "special", and we surely won't be the last. So instead of showing bike porn 2, we showed the 1st years program. Viewers were coming out of their chairs with cheering or disgust! Never mind that that Sen. John McCain was in town that day to also catch the screening and let people know that he was still alive and had a seriously entertaining running mate.
Like the Dark Lord said, "Impressive. Most impressive." What is wrong with free beer and food and some classy fucking people? Nothing. Except sometimes it is hard to remember all the fun. The word epic gets thrown around a lot but in this case you can't really help but utilize it. For several days in a row the sauce flows, and the wheels roll and we have the times of our lives.
Thanks for the great games of bike polo, all of the stunning awards and prizes. And letting us share our "gifts" with the otherwise unsuspecting Durango audience at the future Discovery Museum... a place for learning.
Here's hoping they are having a blast at the SSWC going on this weekend September weekend in Durango AND that they have enough ogranizational energy to help put together a screening of Bike Porn 3 in early November.
Seriously, the fine bikers of Durango have for the past few years, attempted to murder many seemingly sane bike riders using the side of a mountain as a weapon.
