St. Pete Alley Cat

This weekend was the When Bikes Attack Alley Cat in St. Pete... I would have gotten more pics but i stole these from Bryan Quinn as it is. I was too busy racing around the streets of St. Pete, doing skids, riding backwards, and drinking beer to think about taking pictures... it was a good time. Christina and the babies came out as well. The race covered several blocks near down town including the Pier and was an all out scramble from begining to end, racing from one point to the next using any means and route necessary to get there. It seemed like utter chaos, you did not know where you were headed from the next point untill you got there and they gave you a new map. It was my first Alley cat race but it certainly will not be my last. The riding and comraderie remind me of my days sessioning the very same streets as a skater years ago. Combining bikes with beer and music... refreshing.
These are my loyal customers... these guys visit my shop on a regular basis and Ive adopted them as the Carollwood crew. ha. This wednesday night we will be "sessioning" if you will, out behind the shop... doing tricks, skids, hangin out and doing what i love most... drinking beer.
