Very cool Velocity Girl! It will be easy to pick you out at races!
wow!!! that looks awesome!
Yea, I'm pretty stoked! Having a pink helmet is just going to be so much fun!!! Just kinda screams "HERE I COME!!!"

Sweet! Nice helmet! 
Damn! That's awesome! I just got the sparkle silver and blue Bellistic today...now I want a painted one...
Lookin' good! Hopefully I will get to see Grizgal's in person tomorrow night.
Tana should advertise on RM. As near as I can tell, her work is top-notch and her prices are a fraction of what you would expect to pay.

Yeah, I think she can do any helmet. She's going to do my friends fork legs...and my other friends frame. Rumor is that she's doing someone's bmx helmet? Áfter seeing Velocity Girl's helmet...Í'm going to get Tana to do another helmet for me. I love the work she did - don't worry VG it won't be the power puff girls, but it has to be pink!

Glad to hear it's inspired you to get another helmet painted And pink is definitely a good color....I read in another thread I think that you ride a pink Intense??? That's so cool! I almost got my Nicolai's in Baskin Robbins Pink, but we decided to get the same color bikes (for a uniform team look) and Freak didn't really want Pink

This M1 belongs to Kathy Bears, one of Grizgal's team mates. Their bikes are pretty much identical, if I remember correctly. The are a sweet bass-boat (lots-o-glitter) pink. And yes, the guys on the team also ride pink bikes. They wanted to be noticed.Originally posted by Velocity Girl

A mud hunny took this picture and posted it after Mt Snow last year. I saved it cuz I know the rider. Sorry for the lack of photo credit. Please don't sue me.
Tana's painting one for me too :devil:Originally posted by Velocity Girl

I told her she needed to come register here - she has a following!
Yeah, some of the guys on the team weren't too psyched about being on sparkly pink bikes. But other guys on the team loved the idea. I think everyone has found pink to be a pretty adictive color (uh huhm, chromegoddess.) It's interesting to see the reactions from people when they see speedy guys on pink bikes. The funny thing is when the guys ride by sometimes you hear, "damn that girl is fast." Well, I think it's funny, not sure if the guys doOriginally posted by Velocity Girl

Sorry I feel like i took the thread in a different direction. Yes, pink is definitely a good color - how can you not have fun while wearing a pink helmet?
I agree that Pink is addictive I love it because it's such a contrast to what moutain biking is....getting dirty and tearin' it up out on the trails!
I've heard about those "infamous pink bikes on the East Coast" now I know someone who rides one of them
MtnBikerChick....very cool you're getting your helmet painted....going for a PPG theme as well?

...but was talked into doing a little racing this season with the pink intense team that grizgal is on. though i adamantly insisted early on that i would have very little to do with the pinkness of the team, just as griz predicted i've since become completely obsessed the color. it's ridiculous and out of control. the funniest part of it is that the pink is so infectious that even the boys at brooklyn jumped on board and made special pink stickers for my bike. the pink stickers on the burley bike look hilarious, you can't help but smile and laugh when you see it.
too bad you couldn't do the baskin robbins pink on the nicolai velocity, cuz that would have been extra fun when you stumbled onto to the pinkos at a nat. but i think the near-yeti blue is pretty sweet too.
the swarm of custom pink helmets is gonna be the bomb!!! i'd better get on that pretty quick, bandwagon jumper that i am.

I think you forgot to mention that you now own a pink velor (sp?)zip-up. oh wait, was that a secret?
yes, CG, you need to get a custom pink helmet...maybe paint chromegoddess on the back?? you love pink!!!
Exactly. I love the contradiction of the pink. infamous?? wow, I had no idea people knew about them outside of the east. yes, now you know someone on the pink team...you'll have to come say hi at a race. I think I'll be able to pick you out as well...just look for the pink PPG's ripping it up.Originally posted by Velocity Girl

I will warn you...remember back when people were getting beat up for adidas sneakers bc they were the "cool" things to have...yeah, that's what has happened in the past with pink velor jackets. don't worry though, I got your back...
That's Awesome! I am SO jealous! My full face helmet is just plain black.....gonna have to get me a custom paint job too!

You planning on hitting Schweitzer by any chance this year? Don't think we'll be making it out to the East Coast Nationals this year....had to choose between a honeymoon in Whistler or the Nationals....and the honeymoon won outOriginally posted by grizgal

bummer...no, I'm not planning on going to Idaho. I'd love to go to all of the Nationals, but there's that whole job and supporting myself thing...Honeymoon in whistler sounds awesome - I think I'd choose that over the nationals as well. Have you received the helmet yet? Does it look as amazing in person??Originally posted by Velocity Girl

Yea, that whole work thing just gets in the way of biking doesn't it I work for a startup company so I let them know well in advance what weekends I won't be able to work
Well maybe next year we might make it out to an East Coast race and I can see that pretty pink bike in person
Helmet should hopefully be here tomorrow....I'm dying with anticipaction!!!!
