Helsinki By Night - March 2010

Fiksikeskarit the right way from eetu pajala on Vimeo.

Boren and Eetu riding home from the Yksivaihde.net last week's Wednesday Drinks, from Kamppi through downtown to Kallio and beyond.

Helsinki Fixed Gear Documentary 'Fiksikeskarit'

Fiksikeskarit from T/N/T/S on Vimeo.

A documentary short movie about the long-running Yksivaihde.net Wednesday Tricks & Beers Social Night, filmed and edited by tnts in Töölö, Helsinki. This is about as rad as it gets around here.

Oh well, I feel sorry that I missed this week's sesh when the filming took place. And while I'm no movie critic I detect a flavor of Finnish modern cinema in Aki Kaurismäki's vein, bit of Cinéma Vérité and even a hint of classic Italian Neorealism somewhere in there.

The Step To The Dark Side

Yeah, I've done it, even if I might have said something completely else in the past. Certain 'Tricks rider in Finland" applied his magical salesman skills and made me an offer I couldn't turn down. And everyone needs a polo bike anyway, right? Mad props and big thanks to KRNKY for hooking me up with their kick ass pedal straps. I'm still waiting for the mailman to bring me some new fatter tires and whatnot but a new bike is always nice thing to have.

Jesse too the photo and here's whole set more of them.

Ice Age 2010 Criterium Race // HELLsinki 24.3.2010

Tomorrow.
It will be Dark. Icy Cold. Slippery. Freezing Wet. Dangerous. Stupid. Fixed Only. Fun.

And yes, it was probably inspired by the Red Hook Criterium but it will be different because it's still winter up in here...

Earlier Tonight

Last Night We Got ...

... first SNOW on the streets!

Which is kinda cool and sucks at the same time. And in the morning there was even more of it, mostly all frozen into ice and it's scarily slippery out there.

Anyhow, a BIG shout-out! to the brave warriors tnts & lm for keeping our Wednesday night Tricks & Beers sesh' alive with me, despite the sleet and all that. Three is a magic number, right.

(Pardon the super shitty photos, blame my Nokia mobile phone.)
