I'm sure you've seen the Fix-Push video making fun of those fags that ride fixed gear bikes, well its part of the Underskatement film festival and it will be showing all the films one night only in Tempe, AZ...


And Here's Fix-Push in case you missed it...

Fixed-Gear Bikes: The New Gay?

Maybe you’ve seen them riding around town in packs like some gay version of the Hell’s Angels. Cut-off jean shorts, deep V’s, and the purse-like satchel bags, (what the fuck do they carry in those things anyway) these losers couldn’t intimidate a classroom full of special ed kids; as a matter of fact, just replace the bicycles with Volkswagen Beetles and you’ve got a roving gang of Clay Aiken fans.
Fixed-gear bike enthusiasts have managed to officially get on my nerves, not just because they’re enormous dorks, but because they're completely oblivious to the lameness of their newest obsession, and they think they’re cool.
Just recently a guy I know was showing me pictures of his new $5000 fixed-gear bike (the pictures were also on his iphone, but that’s a whole other story) and pointing out the stupid overpriced Japanese components—the whole scene reminded me a total puss and even less interesting version of Pimp My Ride. This obsession has seemingly become a counter culture version of import cars—the indie rockers’ answer to tricked out Hondas & Acuras, except these cars would have no brakes and only one gear. How awesome, right?
Now, this wouldn’t bother me so much if there were some sort of motive behind spending unending amounts of time and money on bikes, but there isn’t. So unless your goal is to repel girls while looking like a bunch of dudes on boner patrol, ditch the purse, make a choice between pants or shorts and get a fucking car.
Hang The DJ

“Hey DJ, how about playing something that doesn’t suck.” If you’ve ever found yourself saying or thinking this while you’re at a bar/club being forced to endure “Mr. Brightside” for the forth time, then you probably agree that “DJ’s” are coming up short.
First of all, why are there so many DJ’s? I always see these fliers for some bullshit dance night at the newest hipster hangout, and there are like 14 DJ’s on the bill. What the fuck? Is it really necessary to have 14 douche bags in vintage band t-shirts play the same Peaches song? And what is with the nicknames? You can call yourself whatever you want because it’s not going to change the fact that you’re a nerd with an ipod and a self-declared moniker. Most of these fucking idiots have no clue what good music is, which evident by the fact they play songs like Satisfaction and Smells Like Teen Spirit—how original, why not just play the 500 greatest songs of all time as determined by Rolling Stone. And it doesn’t really matter if you play vinyl or from your ipod, bad music is bad music regardless of the medium. I know the Killers are popular, but that doesn’t mean they don’t suck. If you’re just gonna play what’s popular, why are there more than 1 of you?
Nike Air Native

Alright, I know I can be a bit cynical at times, but what the fuck is this bullshit? According to a Nike press release, Nike has created a shoe specifically marketed toward Native Americans. I want to know how the research and development meeting went that led to the creation of a shoe made for Indians: "Uh, Indians are fat, so if we make a shoe for them, and not just any shoe but the most generic and cheap looking piece-of-shit-poor-kid-shoe, then maybe they'll get in shape. Right?" Wrong. Aren't all athletic shoes made for people who have made the choice to exercise, not to try to convince fat-asses to go out running? This is the equivalent of McDonald's "I'm Lovin' It" campaign and its hip urban commercials--which, by the way, are made specifically for Black and Hispanic people--but way more weird and subversive. Are these magic shoes? Do they have special powers that only Indians can feel the effects of? If Nike is in the business making shoes for specific groups of fat-ass losers then why not make a shoe for republicans, 40-year-old single women, and white-trash. If somebody really wants to help the Native American population why not give them their land back...or make Indian proof caps on alcohol.

Failed ideas
The first of these failed ideas didn't make it past the pen stage, it was for the Phoenix AM skate contest, you can see the logo they went went with was much more simple and not as awesome (mainly because I didn't do most of it). This one I thought had potential, but there's still time to switch it up for 08!

This one is by far the siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiickest, and was supposed to be a redesigned logo for hella hyphy energy drink company whose main marketing position is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick action sports and even siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicker music. Basically I took a suggested idea of a fist and added the 2 siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiickest compliments for it, siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick lightening bolts and siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicker lightening. And in bright orange and yellow, the siiiiiiiiiiiiiiickest colors around, why didn't they think this was siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick?

And finally this graphic was too simple and vague to see the screen printer on anything, but thats why I like it, If you know who these guys are I think its obvious and vague at the same time, sort of you have to be in the know to know (does that sound retarded?) but I'd like to see if any readers (do we have any readers?) know these dudes? So take your guesses in the comments and the first person to answer correct will win a prize, I swear.

And to Continent, I'll be working on those tees this week I swear it. Sorry for the 2 month (?) wait.
Is this really easier?
Peep game on this auction, I know its only a penny more than the value, but stoops...
