25 Jul 2014: ‘79 Yamaha DT250 by Utopia Customs
Crocker motorcycles are something else. The styling is amazing, while still having an air of functionality about them. The main problem you will find with these bikes is the rarity, which in turn boosts the price beyond the reach of mere mortals. Those lines though, that is the look you want, so how do you get it? Utopia Customs have come up with an answer, producing their own homage to the Crocker marque, using a 1979 Yamaha and their ingenuity to bring this speedway bike to life. Which in turn is something else in itself.
Inspired by the picture of a 1935 Crocker Speedway bike, Pablo Luzzi and the Utopian workshop decided on a build which would ‘capture the simplicity and no nonsense look’ of the legendary machine. The bike to be used on the build was to be a two stroke enduro bike, as it had the right ingredients of being fast, nimble and loud. A DT250 was sourced, and the build began.

“Four brothers (the Zenga Bros) get together to discuss their dream of the ultimate family road trip. 17 family members, 6 to 60 years of age, tour the Pacific Northwest on custom art bikes and in wildly decorated vans; their dream unraveling on the open road before them.”

14 Jul 2014: 2014 Chainless World Championships
CRESTED BUTTE, Colo. - As the longest standing and original celebration of bicycle subversion, the Chainless World Championships is difficult to describe. Photographer Dave Kozlowski captured the flavor of the event in this photo series. With parties on both ends, the race starts at the top of Kebler Pass and finishes ten miles down the raod in Crested Butte. Body mass, aerodynamics, and cajones are the keys to winning. Some race to win but most are there for the after party. Chris Davis from Delta Colorado tucked in for the win with last year’s champion Mark Cram close on his heels. Crested Butte’s Dave Ochs snuck in for third.
