We had front row standing position. Aviva was wearing casual sequins and took a nasty hit in the neck from an out of control competitor. This was actually pretty cool because then we were able to talk to KO, the Bicycle Jesus, who was in jovial spirits before he took a tough fall. Another one of our favorites from the joust was actually the winner of the Dead Baby Bike Race, what a hunk! There were many stony faced competitors, including but not limited to: Completely naked guy, Summer, the guy with the Bozo hair, Jolly Green (Giant), and of course the brother/sister duel duo. Everyone left unscathed and then proceeded to whoop it up all night with a BBQ, concert and Cyclecide Suicide Ferris Wheel Ride. The night was great and it made us want to start working out so that next year we too can participate in a gruelling, no-holds barred bike jock joust. P.S. thanks for the burgers and brews Dead Baby. Our only regret is that we came too late to see Feral Children play at Jules Maes Saloon. Leave a Reply |
The Adventure School decided to hit up that cultural phenomenon known yearly, as The Dead Baby Bike Race. In fact, we didn’t quite make the race, but did make it in time for the Tall Bike Joust. The tall bike jousters are a different, braver, tougher breed of person than average. They compete on tall bikes. These are huge bikes, constructed of spare parts, commonly built by welding two frames one atop of the other. The drive train is reconfigured to connect to the upper set of pedals, and the controls are moved to the upper handlebar area. These brave bike punx then lance each other with a huge pvc pipe with a boxing glove taped to the end. First one to hit the ground, loses.
