“Aftershock is all about backyard racing on inappropriate bikes. Inspired by Dirt Quake in England and the Australian Flat Track scene, Aftershock Sydney is a private event held by the Sydney Cafe Racers. It is all about the laughter, cracked ribs, mate-ship, stupidity and friendly racing. A weekend of Mud, Bikes, Bands, Beers, Tents and Shenanigans.” Backyard racing on innappropriate bikes? My favorite!

With lots of slow motion mud flinging goodness, this video made me miss my home town of Portland quite a bit. Super green, rainy, filled with people who don’t mind playing in the wet.

This bike is really fantastic, stretched out trellis swingarm hard tail flat track machine. Looks fun.

Alright, enough of the chat. Check out the video.

Ever look back at photos from trips and realize that you don’t have any with your motorcycle? Photos with people included are way more memorable, even though we love looking at our sexy machines. Amanda Zito and I made a little how-to video with tips and tricks for snapping photos of you on your bike!
