Self Portrait, My Leader
Josh and I went to ride bikes today and we found this epic Barge right on the Fremont cut. We climbed up onto the thing and yes you thunk correctly, we brought our bikes. My first response was...
I'm on a boat
I'm on a boat
Take a good hard look cause I'm skiddin on a boat....
(It was actually a barge)
This thing was stinkin HUGE. like 100 yards long and probably close to 40 yards across. The only thing on the platform was a giant yellow Bulldozer. I did a bunch of photos of Josh and his new Traitor frame that was featured on ZlogBlog the other day. Here is the link.

I decided I wanted to do a Self-Portrait for today so I set up my camera on my messenger bag, had Josh stand roughly where I would be skidding to get my focus, put it on Continuous HIGH mode and had Josh push the button when I started sliding. This is my Leader Trickstar v1.5. I bought it last summer in June and absolutely love it. I started borrowing Skylar's aerospoke recently because my front tire (Kenda 1.85 mt bike tire) isn't commuter friendly.
If you are looking to build up a fixed gear or even a fixed gear freestyle frame, the Trickstar is definitely not the way to go because Leader has released a few frames that are better then it, but this frame can handle anything I can dish out. If you like Leader, go for a Mordecai!
