[Rapha Super Cross](http://www.thespokespeople.com.au/) So, they’re bringing a cross race to the inner west. I’m pretty excited. In case you’re not excited, here are some inspirational photos: ![](http://www.cxmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Tony-Pic-Panorama-CrossCrusade-PIR-MHaughey.jpg) ![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LxLYORi8YIo/THtxq3nrwaI/AAAAAAAAAW0/mpr9_j36nfU/s1600/greg+brunt+is+a+cock+head.jpg) ![](http://www.cxmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/DDCX_C-Brian-Mangano.jpg) ![](http://www.cyclebucket.com/images/p9290666.jpg) ![](http://www.cyclebucket.com/images/p92906642.jpg) ![](http://cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000NMdfhTi066o/fit=1000x750/g=G0000ySuZO3CpMBk/SpookyCX-2012-130.jpg) ![](http://cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000AgLE4PDBm5g/fit=1000x750/g=G0000ySuZO3CpMBk/SpookyCX-2012-85.jpg) ![](http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/931440_134182190112783_1864032720_n.jpg) ![](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7409/9318079917_98e4d1b24c_c.jpg) And if you’re looking for inspiration for the costume race, look no further: [http://distilleryvesper7-7.ak.instagram.com/a2ab1b1e3f2211e39d5922000ae91047\_101.mp4](http://distilleryvesper7-7.ak.instagram.com/a2ab1b1e3f2211e39d5922000ae91047_101.mp4) ---

Already in my calendar. Need to wort out some CX tyres for then however, doubt the paselas will cut it. Also need a licence? Anyone know whats up with that for this event? If it all ends up to hard Ill bring a cowbell and heckle with some friends. EDIT: Just registered. Going to have to practice/get moderately less fat in two weeks. Anyone around Annandale/Leichhardt want some 'cross practice? ---

Max 400mm, but often less. I once practiced in the park using a small piece of bark - and probably looked a bit silly to the average passer by. ---

What is the inspiration for Super Cross? By and large the 'cross scene in Australia doesn’t contain any of the party atmosphere of its US counterpart. It’s time to bring the party to Australia and make some noise. I’m glad someone is going to finally bring the party to Australia for us… I’m sure the other race organisers are as glad as we (DDCX) are that there will finally be some ‘party atmosphere and noise’ at races. ---

Yeah, shit, I mean, look at all those racers in the photos above having a boring time. Where are they racing? In a gulag? ---

> [@heavymetal](#): > > fkn lol. > How does this new party and noise theme work with their traditional pain and suffering theme? party and noise doesn’t show very well when filmed in B&W w/ an atmospheric soundtrack…you’ll just have to close your eyes and IMAGINE! ---

that’s how you get support from the other promoters of a small and up-n-coming category… tell them they have been no fun and running crap events for the last 4 years! bravo Sydney… way to make yourself look like douchebags again.

Argh. that FAQ answer really annoys me. I never thought I’d be proud of my partying, but when someone refuses to acknowledge it outright, I’m suddenly quite hurt. Am I to now assume that I sprayed half my beer on Benzy for nothing? fuck. ---

i would encourage everyone to write to rapha about this matter. i’m a bit pissed off about it too, but as a former organizer / current blatherer, it looks biased coming from me. ---
