Scorchers :: 2009

Smith Optics, manufacturer of fine sunglasses and goggles, are the latest to sign on as sponsors for Grand Theft Velo III. Head over to their website and check the new line...come race GTV3 and possibly win some fresh shades!

HorroH, the driving riding force behind Fixed Fight is the most recent sponsor to sign on for Grand Theft Velo.

May 16th. New Haven.

Two new sponsors have entered the arena for Grand Theft Velo 3 on May 16th.
Knog from Australia and Swrve. Hit 'em up, buy something, and thank them for their support!

SE Bikes, makers of the singlespeed setups Ale, Draft, Lager, and Stout, as well as some fun retro rides, have signed on as a sponsor for Grand Theft Velo III, May 16th in New Haven, CT. How's that for a run-on sentence?!

Brooklyn Machine Works, makers of the Gangsta Track have signed on as one of the sponsors for Grand Theft Velo III on May 16th. We're excited to have a quasi-local manufacturer involved. Rumor also has it that their sponsored rider, Austin Horse, will be making it out as well.

We're excited to announce that Ben's Cycle / Milwaukee Bicycle have signed on as a sponsor for Grand Theft Velo III on May 16th.

www.benscycle.net

Ben's is one of the few companies that has truly kept up with the demands of all types of cyclists, especially the urban ilk. Their mission is to bring you the highest quality products at the lowest possible prices. Their inventory rivals many wholesale suppliers. After perusing their site, give 'em a call as the site lists only a fraction of their total inventory.
As the fixed cyclista blogosphere will tell you, the new Milwaukee Bruiser is one of the most coveted items available in the world of 700CMX/Trick Riding/Tarck right now, and it ain't even out yet. We recently had the opportunity to test ride the beast.

We're not going to let the cat out of the bag just yet, but let's just say their support will be HUGE.

We are super excited to announce that ALL CITY has signed on as a sponsor for Grand Theft Velo on May 16th.

We've been psyched up on their new UCI-legal Track bike for a while now, and can't wait to get our hands on their 612 Track Cranks.

They've got a blog, so throw it on the ol' RSS reader.

Iro Cycle has signed on as a sponsor for this summer's Grand Theft Velo 3 alleycat in New Haven.

Last weekend we met Nao from 3RRR at the Friday the 13th Alleycat (Freddie vs. Jason) hosted by Cambridge Bicycle. Nao's been fabricating some killer chainrings and other metal miscellany...

We're psyched to have Nao and 3RRR on board for Grand Theft Velo 3

Thanks to Drew Deep for the heads up, and my apologies to Seagull Bags, who signed on, through Drew, waaaaay back to donate some schwag for the summer series. These guys were in before we had even set any dates! That is the type of support that keeps this international community running strong, so, in the words of a great Boston poet, "Pony up, bitches!"

Get over to their site or check out their flickr gallery and buy something!
3-ply construction, cam buckle strap system, constantly updated designs. These bags will survive New England weather.

UGLY PADS will be making three one-off top tube pads for the summer series. Grand Theft Velo, Route One, and Kings Of New England. What!

Visit their gallery for an idea of what they might look like. And just in case you didn't plan on winning, you can always just go and build and buy your own. Then go see the Ugly crew in action at NorCalFlatland.com.

Azonic, a division of O'Neal USA, is mostly known for their Downhill gear. They brought their experienced research and design from the dirt-motorcycle circuit into mountain biking. Today's urban rider demands more from his or her bicycle than ever before. Trick riding is the norm. Alleycats have become tougher, more grueling. The time for indestructible gear is now. The place for it is Azonic.

The Scorchers are proud to announce our sponsorship deal with Azonic, and look forward to putting their gear through some new "tests". We'll have more info soon, including product reviews over at www.scorchers.tk.

So how do we put this? You ain't shit if you ain't creepy.

They're sponsoring Grand Theft Velo, so go hit 'em up and buy something already. Mad Creepy.

We're excited to announce that Keirin Culture has signed on as one of the sponsors for the Summer Series -- Grand Theft Velo III, The Route One Stage Race, and Kings Of New England II.
Go hit 'em up and buy something. Support those who support your scene.

We're psyched to announce Velocity has joined on as a sponsor for this summer's race series!

We're seeing a lot of linking to Scorchers:2009 and we appreciate it. It would be really rad, however, if you updated your link to ecscorchers.blogspot.com or scorchers.tk as those are the main sites. Scorchers:2009 is a receptacle for sponsorship info.

Cheers!
Thanks!

Gage and Desoto purveyors of fine ironic cycling tees, etc., have signed on as sponsors for this summer's events.

Hell On Earth has signed on as a sponsor for this summer's events. Rochester, what?!

Death2Dopers has signed on for the summer series. Don't worry, "keep cycling clean" has nothing to do with beer...

We're pleased to announce that OPEN Bicycle as one of the sponsors for this summer's events. OPEN is a Boston shop comprised of fellow bike-debaucherizers. Looks like we'll have to up the beer budget.

No, really, Hell Yeah



Hell Yeah, the project of Charge Bikes team rider, Juliet Elliot, has been added to the roster of sponsors for this summers bicycle debauchery, including Grand Theft Velo 3.
We're quite psyched to have Juliet on board!
