Carpetburn

Travis from the excellent 747Rider blog asked about carpet shoes in the Vegas post below. I first heard about them when I interviewed Craig Randall about his incredible life for Sideburn #3. This brilliant shot of Craig in his carpet shoe is taken from his old photo album on page 77 of that issue.Then I remembered a post from the Timomium Cow Palace flat track that illustrated carpet shoes just dandy.Photo: Tim White

Out-takes from Gary's The Great Indoors II story in SB#2.

White nylon - the same stuff as used for chain-guides on MX bikes. This was actually off-cuts from uPVC double-glazed windows.Best not use transparent plastic, you'll just look like a total slut. BP
