Enclosed are some video stills and photos of our trip to Las Vegas for interbike for 2009.

Do I see Rainier?

or Nevada?

Always a rad time in vegas, and this year was no different. I think it is fair to say there was more fun on the streets then in the booths. Ibike is a place to link up with friends from around the world. It’s an incredible time where the state of the union unfolds through conversation, spinning legs, and street smarts. Through these aspects a picture is painted for what’s next for these ever evolving bikes.

Lets meet at 10pm in a dirt parking lot of a cyclocross race, and rush the city for hours. Sounds great! see you on the streets!

LA runnin deep in the drag sprint

Walton skitchin pizza hut after taking a late right. The pack ended up working together and pulling to the finish a few seconds ahead.

Sprint to the finish

Stage 3 brought everyone to the Artisan Hotel poolside for Goldsprints. Best 500 meters to end the night.

Garrett was a powerful force on the mic motivating some of fastest times recorded on this set up managed by salt lake’s finest.

Incase came through big time with $1,000 cash to the combined winner. Cinelli, Mash, Box Dog, Rapha, Vittoria, San Marco, HOC, Martin, and Knog all made the take home hood-rich.

There was a tie for first place for combined points, so Vegas’s own had to get back on the bike for another 500m. In the end Ryan took first place overall. Here are the top finishers:
1: Ryan O’Keefe
2: Drew Ballard
3: Hernan Montenecro

1: Drag: Anthony Canevaro
1: Alleycat: Alvin Chen
1: Goldsprints: Walton Brush SF

Prizes were awarded, then grudge matches were set on the rollers, including 500 meters and 1 lap in the pool for random product from sponsors who were down to the core.

You

dotha

math!

Night!!

Last night murphy brought a group out to sprint again.

Walton stomped this one out with a 16.61 for 500 meters setting the fastest recorded time on the history of this set-up.

Walton DJ’d all night with his portland turned southern hospitality. In the end he earned his very own pimp cup.
Thanks to Garrett, Blake, Walton, Gabe, Joe, Andy, Gene, and all our friends, and support system that keeps this project living and breathing among friends and families. See you next year LV with luv!
