Single Fucken Speed

Ok hi all
squid here

now lately
and well since i built the ghetto cog up
this is the question i have been getting

WHY THE FUCK DID YOU MAKE AND RIDE A SINGLE SPEED

well here is the answer

many reasons
but one simple reason
single fucken speed....


now growing up, my frist couple bikes where all single speeds
and i never really thought about it
i could ride anywhere and i never worried about the gears
i rode and rode and the only thing that stopped me was my skidd stops that poped a tire

then i went to a 5 speed, and that eventually turned in to a single speed becase i didnt know how to fix for cable streaching, cuz i didnt know that cable streaching happens on a geared bike

then i grew up, got kinda smart, got a 18 speed mt bike
and bent the axle
then i got the mongoose
and then learned about tune ups
then payed for tune ups
then decided i could not pay for tune ups
then started to learn how to tune my own bike

then i got the horse
fucked her up a couple times
spent lots of money one her
but she is still on the trail , just not under my paws

then i got in to park riding, with the p2
and you dont really use tomany gears inthe park
so of course cable streach and yeah never fixed it till i hurt my self and could not go riding

but in all this mombo jumbo here i decided to re do a bike
and make it into a single speed
and the ghetto cog idea was born
and then built over a year

and she is fun to ride
i dont worry abou gears, and i admit hills can be killer, but it made me a stronger hill climber
i dont worry about cable streaching
i dont worry about hitting the derailers on anything
and really i dont worry about her

i cant do everything i can do on the ghetto compaiered to the p2, but she is more of a point a to b bike
than a hucking bike!

so the other day i was looking at the apollo and i said
hum light, fast, get to point a and b shit
hum fun.... yeah i need another single speed
and i can have fun with it

so i decided to make another
and i really cant wait to get on her

all i can say is if you try it you might like it
single speed bikes have a different freedom compaired to the super expensive hyped up full suspension can kill your self on.
not that im knocking a DH or free ride bike
my true love is in free riding and doing stupid shit

but there is nothing like that feeling of going back to child hood and riding on something youare not worried anything about
and noone would want to steel a bike like the ghetto
i mean come on, she is ghetto

no one would want to marry a hooker cuz you know how hard she has been ridden right??
why buy a rental car, cuz it was diven like it was stolen
and best of all, but ugly... god damn she is but ugly

the new single speed will not be but ugly, but that is just cuz im putting a little more thought in to it
and im actually putting money in to it rather than raping old beat up bikes for parts
haha

ayways

2 of my six bikes are single speeds now
will i get a 7th bike or trade out a frame this summer
who knows
but for now
riden around st jay on early morning rides are going to be on one fucken speed!

ok thats enough
im out
