'Brand' New Movie

Video coming at'cha!

Morgan Spurlock has been putting himself in difficult situations to garner your attention and hopefully your reflection for a while now and his latest project has already created a huge buzz at the annual spring film festivals around the world. His latest movie aims to shed light on the power of branding and its place in modern society. Interestingly enough, my SmartStop Mountain Khakis Pro Cycling teammates are also working pretty hard on putting together small shorts throughout the year in the hopes of creating fun and exciting content without becoming overly redundant sponsor-pluggers.

Scribble it, Share it, then forget about it

Maybe we all need to wear
shirts with pockets!

Whether you are an artist or an economist, a creator or an organizer, you've probably come to the realization that making a daily reflection, regardless of one's choice of media, is an important step in reaching one's goals or perhaps more importantly, embracing the journey toward said goals.  By providing an outlet to reflect upon the struggles of today, one can build an environment in which progressive perspectives can develop in the days that follow; who knows what you'll come up with!

A New Season

CyclingNews Gallery

Spring training camps, right now you're either at one or dreaming of one. At least that is what my Jedi mind skills are saying since someone changed the clock on the stove.  I guess that also means that we all get one extra hour to ride each evening...does that mean we also get to enjoy an extra post-training beer too?

"Like I'm Wearing Nothing at All!"

MK Catalogue

It's not very often that you find someone in the same walk of life, or even the same type of pants for said walking, but that seems to be on the rise recently. Now that I've been conditioned, I am eagle-eyeing Mountain Khaki peps from 300 yards!
