Slaughterama 7 Bikes, Bruises, and Booze

Once again I applaud the cutthroats on putting together another amazing Slaughterama. We played hard, we drank hard, we hurt hard. None of us harder that Ian who after taking a poorly cushioned Jousting pole to the head bled like a sieve, threatened to beat down the whole of Belle Isle, and then during a 6 hour stay in the E.R. Managed to make friends or enemies (it was hard to tell) with an old lady claiming to be crazy as a loon, A pregnant woman who only spoke spanish in which he felt the necessary word to repeat was punta, and every other sick and bleeding person.

The events of the Weekend were fun as hell but at the same time about 3 times as many people showed up making it hard to rock our freak bikes they way they needed to be rocked. It was also a little disturbing as a drum circle began to infiltrate the playing field. But we still jousted, whiplashed, and 6 pack attacked like nobodies business. Great times with more to come. I just hope we can get just as buck wild foor Bury Your Bike.

Slaughterama 7

LAdies and gentlemen, the time has come once again for the world to turn upside down, and the Zombies to head north on their second expedition to compete on the infamous Belle Isle for bike club glory in the 2010 Slaughterama. LAst year we came back bruised, battered, and more than our freak bikes were broken, but also the Zombie name was on the lips of many. So we are welding like fiends in preperation for this prestigious event. May we be on your minds, and may the legend grow of ZBBC.

Bury Your Bike: Behind The Scene

Midnight Mass Ressurected

So a few years ago a miss Amalie Remsen decided to pass out some fliers that suggested everyone grab their bikes and meet up at midnight for a rolling party around downtown. To no ones suprise it was awesome and people kept showing up each Thursday night for bike debauchery. Unfortunately when the cold winds begin to blow people decide to stay at the bar, watch T.V. or god forbid get a full nights sleep rather than taking advantage of the asphalt playground of Downtown. Now I can understand this hell I've decided to catch up on the latest episode of lost instead of riding in 28 degrees, but ladies and gents guess what the cold is gone and I think the people are ready to ride again. So, if you feel the urge which I know you do Come on up to the Cummer museum parking lot. WE roll at teh strike of 12:15 and we go till everyone has found their favorite pub for last call or hell maybe till the sun comes up.

-Keep it Wheel

Porn! Bikes! Now thats what I call a good time.

Thank you so much to the Bikes Porn Crew that are spreading the good word. We had a blast last night laughing, singing, and gettin naked. It was a hell of a first event at the new space and it wont be the last. We wish the rev. Phil and his wily band of bike porn cohorts safe travels and can't wait to see them at Slaughterama. If you unfortunately missed all the action check out the pics at http://jaxscene.blogspot.com/2010/03/bike-porn-iii-zombie-bikes-complex.html or http://picasaweb.google.com/bikejax/BikeSmut2010ChainWhipTour

As it stands there is another Bike porn in the making, "Bike porn: 4 Play". If anyone dug what they saw the other night or if you missed it, but the concept holds you tight, they are accepting submissions until mid may.

-Keep it wheel and keep it sexy.

Bike Porn 3

Weve got the RevPhil coming down from Portland to show Bike Porn 3 a series of short films eroticizing the wonderful world of biking. This will also be the first event at the new zombie space. So come on down for a music a movie and a keg provided by the radness that is ZenCog.

New Zombie Location 47 w 1st st 32206

Zombie Bikes has been in transition mode. About a month ago we found out that we lost the old BBB complex. Throughout a couple weeks of frantic searching Burro Bags and Royal Treatment records found a radd new location at the letter shop on Forsyth st. and Zombie is now rocking the corner of 1st and main in the back of the old Earl Horne janitorial supply building. This space is amazing and we look forward to putting on some wild events. Right now were getting reorganized but were hoping to have some regular hours up by the start of next month. IF you wanna help with the set up or start trainig as a volunteer mechanic, call Joe at 904 294 7744 and well get you in. See you soon.

Break In at The Shop

Monday night someone rolled up behind the Shop kicked in our air conditioning unit and rolled out with some important Items. I f anyone has any ideas about who would commit such a sick and seditious act please let us know. Here is what were missing.
Black Specialized Hardrock MTB
Purple used Specialized HArdrock MTB
About 2 Dozen assorted wrenches
Acetylene Tarch
Red Trek Road bike
and a few other items

Again if anyone has some clues we'd appreciate a heads up.

NEW STUFF

Thanks to the efforts of our latest Zombie Bikes volunteer Albie the shop is cleaner and more organized than ever. With this rejuvenation were making a few changes. First off were trying to get things a little tighter so were cutting back on days so that we can be sure that we can be there when we say we will. So our new hours will be 1-5 saturdays and sunday. Next we need more volunteers so that we can be openon more days again. We are looking for anyone who digs bikes and is willing to come out and help others with their bikes. If your interested come in during our hours and we will show you how it's done. Oh yeah thank you to everyone that voted for us as Folio weeklys best bike shop.

New Zombie Hours

So, We have had a history of having somewhat irregular hours. We recently had a meeting to clear this up, so here you go. Hope to see you soon. Also, if anyone wants to come down and learn some bike maintenance you can come during shop hours and shadow one of our mechanics.

Bury Your Bike 2

So, we pulled it off. Bury Your Bike 2 was a blast and we want to thank everyone for participating.

For those who didn't get a chance to make it out here is a quick rundown.

Friday was a great start, we had an awesome turn out for the Critical mass. Cruising through Downtown and into Riverside, claiming the five points light and the rest of Jax. From Riverside we rolled over to the Spiral where the forty foot beer bong and Talk Sick Earth awaited. After an amazing hour of rocking out and a few games of foot down the procession ended at Shantytown for an epic Bike Pile and bands, bands, bands.

Saturday is when things really got rolling six pack attack, zombie hunt, Bangarang. When the sun went down things got crazy. For everyone that Hopped onto a tall bike for jousting, Your the Shit. Some got bloody most got hurt everyone had fun, then we danced through the night to the likes of Heavy Flow, and Biking Viking.

Sunday closed out with a few rounds of Polo and some BBQ over at Shanty.

This was a blast for us up at Zombie we hope everyone that made it had as much fun as we did. IF you missed it don't worry we will be back next next year and before then there will be many fun gatherings.

In case you still haven't heard..

Bury Your Bike II is coming up fast!! As in two weekends!!


also, there's two good bike forums up and running that art jacksonville centric.

One has only recently been started by a couple of UNF kids. Their purpose is to network with other bikers in the area, and to get some good rides and maybe in and out of town events happening. I think this is great as we know all too well that kids on bikes get bad reps. Especially, by people who are quick to label every person on a fixed gear a hipster or some kind of elitist. This can be rather infuriating, when really how does it matter? People. are. biking. How can you hate on somebody who is out there getting exercising and doing something that they love? How does it affect you if one person wants to nail down a trick while another wants to build the biggest fucking tall bike of all time?

Sorry, anyways props to people out there trying to network in this city where its so easy to criticize, check out the forum at http://904fixed.proboards.com/


the other forum is located at http://bikejax.forumotion.net/ and is a bit more broader in scope but still very Jacksonville pumped
