While mid run, I felt something on my eyebrow, figuring it was just sweat, but when I hit the first jump, I soon realized it was a bee, or a wasp, or some woodland creature that stings. I came to that conclusion, because mid air, whatever it was, was trapped between my glasses and my face, and started stinging the shit out of me! I quickly dumped it, and shook my head frantically, swatting at my face like a kook, and it finally buzzed away. Sting Ray Bans! Any rate, regardless of the distractions, and ballups, riding bikes is still super fun, I love it!<br> If you haven't seen the new <a href="http://www.fbmbmx.com/features/V3Flipbook.php" target="_blank">Flip Book</a>, for the V3 completes, and FBM goodies, check it out, really good looking stuff in there.<br> Check out the new Catalog from Stowaway as well, great photos, product and overall design, it awesome...<br> <div><object style="width:420px;height:227px" ><param name="movie" value="http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v1/IssuuViewer.swf?mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&showFlipBtn=true&documentId=100901014715-8692d04ce5204f8da77a4437af067e11&docName=2010springcatalogue&username=StowawayDistribution&loadingInfoText=Stowaway%202010%20Spring%20catalogue&et=1283440697037&er=92" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/><param name="menu" value="false"/><embed src="http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v1/IssuuViewer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" menu="false" style="width:420px;height:227px" flashvars="mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&showFlipBtn=true&documentId=100901014715-8692d04ce5204f8da77a4437af067e11&docName=2010springcatalogue&username=StowawayDistribution&loadingInfoText=Stowaway%202010%20Spring%20catalogue&et=1283440697037&er=92" /></object><br/><div style="width:420px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://issuu.com/StowawayDistribution/docs/2010springcatalogue?mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&showFlipBtn=true" target="_blank">Open publication</a> - Free <a href="http://issuu.com" target="_blank">publishing</a> - <a href="http://issuu.com/search?q=animal" target="_blank">More animal</a></div></div>

Todd Lyons Always stood out with Rad style to me as well, I was at my folks house the other day, and found a pencil drawing I did in like 1990, I think its of Todd Lyons, from an old magazine, that I basically just stared at and copied, with a pencil and paper. I don't know if the drawing is just terrible, or if it was a fisheye photo, or if its really even Todd Lyons, but In my head it is is, pretty funny. Thanks "The Wildman" for being awesome for so many years!
