I wanted to try take another picture of my bike and use the darkness as my background. I couldn’t get my bike to stand up so I added the little stereo. I had two flashes, one SB-800 which was my main light–infront of the bike, and my SB-600 behind the stereo. I’m not sure if I like this one, but I’m still practicing my lighting. I had some homedepot hot lights but it didn’t work out that well for me. Anyone have any tips on better lighting? I’m pretty close in buying a black backdrop, but I’m just not sure if I’ll use it extensively to make it worth wild.

So I’ve taken a break from studying… yes studying, I know summer school sucks. I went to my local K-mart to pick up a bike pump and there was a problem at the cashier. I had to be 21 to buy the pump… Yes 21! What the fark? Never heard of this before huh? It was an old lady at the cashier and she probably thought it was some sort of weapon… But I complained and finally got my pump… damn K-mart wasting my time. Then I got home and started to pump my bike cause I test drove it last night with low air. Test drove some more on my fixie… and boy was it harder than it looks! After like 8 years of being on a bike this was actually my first time riding one. I was sweating after less than 5 minutes of riding. Took some time to add some pros and cons of a fixie.

Pros: Its a good work out: builds up muscle legs, and ass, builds up stamina. This requires NO gas! I know right! great way of saving some big bucks.

Cons: No breaks on my bike. There are places I can put brakes but I live on the edge! Hard for drivers to see if you’re driving at night.

I can’t think of anything else. But I do need to pick up some head and tail lights and some new components. I need to learn some tricks again… So hard.
