Boldsprints Video

Written by Boston Biker on Mar 25

I worked up this little video from some footage I had taken at the second Boldsprints (I know the video is dark, but hey it was a very dark bar!). Find out more about this great event here. These guys and gals could really get the pedals moving. The stage would vibrate with the sheer force of it. All the while surrounded by cheering screaming fans. It is a fantastic event and even if you don’t race you should show up 4/7 to check out the next one. Check the event calendar (over there on the right) for more details.

Highlights:

  • Be sure to check on the first race how yellow lost his footing, then came back to win
  • Catch Nick Mashburn and Peter Bradshaw battle it out
  • Don’t miss Conor’s awesome double thumbs up
  • Watch in general as people DEMOLISH these pedals I am continually amazed by how fast these people go.

I know for a fact that puking does and has happened after this sort of event, so you know, thats one more reason to show up!

Do you recognize yourself in this video? Drop me a comment to let me know when (time) and who you are (red/yellow).

Boldsprints 3!

Written by Boston Biker on Mar 19

I just wanted to say that BoldSprints is turning out to be one of the most fun things I have done in a long time. Sweaty faced competitors surrounded by a sea of insane screams pushed out past smiling faces. Amazing. See results here. If you look close you will see that I have not gotten much faster. But in my defense, the resistance was much more brutal even so it was harder to get really fast times.

BoldSprints Omnium Series

The next races are on the following days, bring your bike and race till you puke!

4/7 6:00
4/20 6:30
5/11 6:30

These are all going down at the All Asia Bar in Cambridge. If you raced at Bold Sprints 3 you are into the Omnium Series and as such you are building up points so be sure to race in the next three as well.

For a much more eloquent and well written review be sure to check out Embrocations very nice writeup of the event.
