oh crap...

excerpt:
so yesterday i ride my trials bike in to work and as i'm cutting across this little mound at negley and ellsworth i apparently ran through an enormous POND of dog shit. this dog either had the flu, or had just eaten taco bell, or both. i didn't realize until i got back on the road and noticed that my wheels felt off balance from the weight of dog diarrhea.

The OUTLIER Experimental Drop - December 2008

An Outlier product is not your typical garment. We strive to make what we call future classics, garments that don't just last a season but instead work for decades. That means we are always in action, always tweaking cuts and experimenting with fabrics, always striving towards producing the perfect garments.

The experimental drop is a series of extremely limited production runs of the garments we expect to be producing full on a few months down the line. It's for the people who want to be ahead of the curve, who want to taste the future before the rest of the world knows it exists.

These are garments that are deep into our development process, we are pretty damn sure they're amazing, but we still want to test a bit more before we can give them that Outlier "future classic" seal of approval. With this series we are giving you a way in on the newness before the rest of the world is ready.

For the next four days we will be releasing one garment a day, each of which we have produced just 10 garments, give or take a few depending on the fabric.

TODAY we will be releasing a version of our OG Pant in a new Workwear fabric. The exterior is a tough canvas, the inside a soft fleece. This is the durable one, its got a high abrasion resistance, and Lotus treatment so that dirt and grease rolls off when exposed to water. It breathes great, is highly water resistant and dries fast. Available in a dark blueish gray.



WEDNESDAY we drop the Tech Hoodie in our Winterweight fabric. The cut is clean and minimal, with a big hood that can go over helmets. The fabric is designed to keep you warm and dry. Fleecey and heat retaining with an nice stretch on the inside, yet super breathable, and wicking as well. Highly water resistant and quick drying. The exterior weave includes Cordura for real durability and abrasion resistance. It's a great winter layer and works flawlessly as a spring jacket too.

THURSDAY is another killer experimental fabric, a Dry Cotton version of our OG Pant. Combines the crisp yet soft handfeel of cotton with the performance you expect from an Outlier garment. Cotton is a great fabric when it's dry and terrible when it's wet. By using an equal mix of cotton and nylon (and just a touch of stretch) and adding a directional Dry treatment, this fabric handles rain and sweat like it ain't no thing. Breathes, wicks, drys fast and is highly water resistant, so it keeps that cotton charm even when the environment turns raw.

FRIDAY brings it all together with a Workwear version of the Tech Hoodie. All we can say is, we love this garment. We made 11 and then both of us promptly stole one for ourselves. That leaves just 9 so don't sleep on this drop.

Ride safe and ride strong.

check it here and here.

it's been awhile.

i haven't updated this thing in over a month now and i'm a little disappointed with myself for that.
the tricks and sprints went well, although with a minimal turn out gifts were given, prizes won and a good time was had by all i believe...it was bitter cold that night so i'm happy those that did come came.
i've been waiting over a month for photos from vanessa but she seems incapable of e-mailing me anything. thanks.
chrome wanted a write up with some photos of the events and the like...but since i can't get ahold of photos, i guess we won't ask chrome to help us out any more. oh well, way to help your community.
on a less bitter note. i have some more things to post!

i can't believe this

everyone at tracko is having a fit about this photo and claiming its recent. what a joke.

ladies and gentlemen i give you dondi white.
