Tuff Love Art Show Los Angeles...

I am posting from the Tuff Love Art Show presented by Knight Bikes at SLB in LA. Several companies, Odyssey, Sunday, Subrosa and Metal just to name a few, were given a regular White Tuffwheel and asked to decorate and/or modify it in any way they liked.

Today was the opening of the show and it was held at SLB in the heart of
the new trendy hot spot of street wear, Fairfax. I headed out with Nuno to check things out. SLB is former Pro Skateboarder and BMX aficionado Sal Barbier skate/clothing/sneaker shop. There were a lot of people on hand and DJ's keeping the music flowing. Free beer, water and Redbull definitely kept the people happy. Dj Grey Boy was hanging out on an amazing Vintage CW Phase 1 Cruiser. There were actually a lot of great old bikes around to check out. Take a look at the pics, they are what they are, I forgot my digital camera, so you will have to make due with some flicks from the ol' scene kick. Enjoy.-ben

It was well over 100degrees today. Long hair and beard don't mix well with that.
