Matt Lingo was also in attendance at the Wolfpack Hustle CVCCTR crit in Los Angeles last weekend and he has a ton of coverage from the event up on Rec Fail. Head over to check it out!

Who knew that skateboarding legend John Cardiel was such a marksman with the bow and arrow? I guess you learn something new everyday.

Here’s the first edit video recap I’ve seen of the Wolfpack Hustle CVCCTR crit and it probably won’t be the last…

It’s been real fun. There will be much more coverage on the way, but I’d like to say thanks to some of the people who made this trip such a unique experience:

Out of all the documentation I’ve seen from the Wolfpack Hustle CVCCTR criterium event last Sunday, Samson’s are by far the most diverse and the best representation of the event. I feel like I was there and obviously, I wasn’t.

Check out all of Samson’s photos at his photography blog.

There’s a new offering from Breakbrake 17, the Karma Track:

“The BB17 Karma track frame geometry was inspired from the modern track racing bike, Features like short wheelbase, responsive but also stable and comfortable. The frame is an ideal bike for urban track riders.  7005-T6 Triple Butted tubes makes the frame lighter and stiff to give you control to transferring all your power to the road. ROUND-AERO down tube sharp and unique tapered seat stays to dissipate road shock for a smooth ride.

Colors available in : Matt Gray/Blue, Matt Black/Purple, Brushed Satin Finish with Clearcoat/Yellow”

See more below!

I have to say, this is the best looking Histogram to date. Before there were dozens of modern, aluminum low pros, there was the Cinelli Mash Histogram. These frames have found their way to the far reaches of the globe and for 2014, Mash did something a little new:

“With the 2014 trade shows approaching, there will be more information available on collaborations we have in store with Cinelli. The first announcement is the revised finish of our Histogram set. This polished frame shares the original lines, updated in grayscale tones. We will open a pre-order 30 days before these land in the US later this fall. Stay tuned!”

I’m sure I’ll be seeing and shooting one of these soon enough…

I wish I could be there! Race smart and safe everyone. See more information at Wolfpack.

No cone-kickage, outlaw behavior in the latest from MASH. Nice video guys!

Josh Hartman was injured during the Red Hook Crit Navy Yard crit race and Dave Trimble is putting on a benefit auction on eBay to help aid in Josh’s medical bills. Head on over the eBay auction to place a bid!

And if you don’t need another bike, you can always contribute to Josh’s Go Fund Me page.

The track bike criterium is a rapidly-growing event worldwide and over in Berlin, there’s a new fixed gear crit training series called Crucial Crit. Photographer Constantin Gerlach was on site for the first day of racing, documenting it all. See more here!

A red 1977 lugged Serotta track frame to be exact. Ride a 57cm? Head over to Bike Jerks for the scoop. It won’t last long at $650!

Here’s the second installment of Dustin from Cadence’s series with Pez.

“Cadence is proud to announce the exclusive release of special collaborative project with PEZ.
PEZ is a prominent street artist and deeply rooted figure in San Francisco cycling and messenger culture.
Honored by the opportunity to work with PEZ we wanted to share his story with those who may have yet to hear about him.
For the next three weeks we will release an episode on PEZ which we hope sheds some light on his influence and involvement in cycling and graffiti cultures.”

Pick up a PEZ x Cadence shirt here!

Matt’s just providing jobs for construction workers here. This is too good! Nice one Mash.

It’s not everyday that BAUM photographs one of their Corretto track bikes, so when I saw this, I had to share. Check out more of this GTR metallic black, venom green and Dura Ace track build at the BAUM Flickr.

In the Red Hook Crit coverage here on PiNP, there was a discussion about the young rider who took a nasty spill and was hospitalized. His name is Joshua “Pro” Hardman and he races for Major Taylor Development Team, an amateur race team, based in Brooklyn, NY.

He’s still in the hospital, due to excessive blood loss and needs our help. Head over to Joshua’s Go Fund Me page to find out how you can help out.
