RBRS 2012 QUALIFIER

Last night freestylers, and racers met at Mezzanine here in SF to set qualifying times for Saturday’s Ride+Style event. A great deal of effort has been put in leading up to the event, and riders from around the world came out to put a time down on the miniature velodrome, and scream at their friends. Enclosed are a few images from the qualifier. Look for updates all weekend, as races are happening everyday until Sunday.

Steve T locked in, and trying to make the most of this qualifier.

There was a signup for time slots, so Chas was able to work for TCB, and jump in for 10 minutes while on the clock. The smell of curry coming from his bag made everyone hungry.

Austin has raced most of these mini races, so he had no problem hoping on, and setting a quick time with 700c wheels.

Keo kept the crowd updated throughout the night.

The reality of these miniature ovals is they are hard to be taken seriously. Someone on a 20inch BMX could have easily taken home the race winnings last night. Walton borrowed a freestyle bike to help him qualify in the top 10. 

David Trimble is in town to hang out, so it has been really nice to hear about some of the events he has coming up. Real beast stuff!

Hernan put on the skin suit when it came down to the brackets. Game face.

Walton quickly learned the DJ took requests, so for the remainder of the night it was UGK. Colin arranged a camera phone portrait sitting with the subject at this moment.

You have to stop at some point.
