02 Aug 2014: SURFER DAN MALLOY ON QUITTING THE GRIND, STARTING A FARM, AND TRAVELING IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD.
Last year, pro surfer Dan Malloy, filmmaker Kellen Keene, and photographer Kanoa Zimmerman set out on a two-month adventure in their own backyard of California. Hooked on the idea of seeing their home state through new eyes that were unburdened by day-to-day life, the trio biked down the Golden State, stopping to spend time, listen, and learn with farmers and artisans along the way. The result of it all was chronicled into a book and video project entitled Slow Is Fast, an exploration of finding your home all over again, a window at what becomes possible when you open yourself up to the things right in front of you.
31 Jul 2014: Keiichi Tanaami Links w/ SUPER & Basic Garage For A Custom Honda NX650 Motorcycle
Who doesn’t love iconic and classic rides. We do, and we love all sorts of rides in general, and today we get to feast our eyes on something special. Recently Japanese artist Keiichi Tanaami was linked up with the good folks over at SUPER and they decided to do something special based around the Spring/Summer 2014 “MOTORPSYCHO” collection.
They took a beautiful 1988 Honda NX650 from Italy’s Basic Garage and let Keeiichi do his thing, creating something rather unique and eye-catching to say the least. Whatever you do today, don’t sleep on this. Check out the amazing video of the creation.
29 Jul 2014: BIKE DESIGN PROJECT | BY OREGON MANIFEST
The Bike Design Project by Oregon Manifest challenges five teams from five cycling-centric cities in the US to design the ultimate urban utility bike. Each team is composed of one high-level design firm and one American bicycle crafter, and they are asked "who can make the most innovative utility bike?” teams are required to build a fully functional prototype and at the end of the development period, cycling enthusiasts are invited to vote on which design they think is most visionary and best suited for the everyday rider. After the votes are tallied, the winning bike will be then be produced by Fuji Bikes and will eventually be available in retail shops.
Check out some amazing photos of the projects and view the full list of entrees and cast your vote here.
29 Jul 2014: On your bikes | The Jetty Mont-Saint-Michel
Dietmar Feichtinger Architectes has unveiled a new 760-metre long bridge that connects the Normandy coastline to the medieval town of Mont Saint-Michel. The new jetty replaces the 135-year-old causeway that first connected the island to the mainland.
Built on a rock in the middle of the bay, the medieval town of Mont Saint Michel topped by its abbey and monastery represents a major cultural landmark and one of France’s most visited sites. The Mont-Saint-Michel and its bay are part of the Unesco list of World Heritage Sites since 1979.
