This is old news but I just recently started to pay attention to Alex Kennedy and god damned, that dude kills it with style.

Murdering someone is hardcore. Not in a cool way.

Read books, there's no better way to expand your mind and broaden your perspective. I've never been much of a drinker and these days I barely touch booze but I was a pretty heavy pot smoker. I've always loved books but over time it became difficult to read while while being high and I was high all the time I wasn't working. I realized I was no longer getting any joy from smoking so I stopped. It was refreshing to have a clear mind for an extended period of time and now I can enjoy books again and working on little creative projects. The money I used to spend on weed I now spend on traveling every few months. I still enjoy the occasional joint but don't see it ever becoming a habit again. Oh, and obviously ride bikes as much as possible.

Depends how easy it is to pull out the bearings. If it takes some force they're probably fine but if they're floating in the shell and easily move up and down then you may have a problem. If the cranks spin freely without any play then I wouldn't worry about it.

I liked when there were companies that specialized in making only frames and maybe bars or forks and there were parts companies that made the other stuff. Now it seems like all companies make everything.

Man, this video had it all. I think the first video I bought was NSF2 (I posted off a cheque in exchange for the VHS) and I still love seeing stuff from that lot. Newrick especially has been great forever. Moody production, Miles Davis and a nod to Ian Nairn at the end seal the deal. That this was labelled (part one) makes it even better.

Funny, Dig just posted this http://digbmx.com/dig-this/james-newrick-building-a-uk-street-foundation
