Photos and Videos from the 2010 Indianapolis 500

Ok, I’m going to get this out of the way before I tell you all about my trip to the Indianapolis 500, “The greatest spectacle in racing.” Wait. Did I just say that? Well, not really… that is what THEY say, and its the same thing they have all the drivers say, it’s on all their commercials, the announcers say it – it’s generally everywhere when you are near the Indy 500.

Don’t get me wrong, Indy probably is the greatest spectacle in racing! But for God’s sake, who uses the word spectacle? I mean, unless you are trying to describe Grandma’s glasses. I think spectacle is basically the same as monocle. And frankly the word needs to be retired!

  • The most amazing race on Earth!

This little guy is extremely lucky to still be [...]

The King of New York City Bike Messengers

June 27, 2007

According to producer Louie Schwartzberg, John Yacobellis is the undisputed King of Bike Messengers. Louie produced this neat little 5 minute video that covers what it’s like to fight traffic and deliver packages in the busiest city in America. Oh, and if you didn’t see it previously check out my post on the NYC Bike [...]

Insane New York City Bike Messenger Race

March 3, 2007

I love New York! It is truly one of the world’s greatest cities, but I must say there are some of the worst drivers in the country clogging up the roads in Manhattan (yeah, I’ve driven there). So, its a little surprising that anyone would willingly get on a bicycle and fling themself infront of [...]
