Letter to GenderTrender from a 'Trans Man'
February 24, 2015
Why do you spend all your time hating on lesbian trans women rather than gay male assigned at birth misogynists and male identified people who rape those stuck with a hole in the front? Also, I don't see anyone pillaging from lesbian culture, because your lot, like straight men, are the most aesthetically challenged of all. I may have been unlucky enough to be born without a penis, but don't you dare assume all trans men were ugly butch dykes who dominated your precious femmes before transitioning. Some trans men were every bit as disgusted as going near a woman sexually as they were with having woman parts, and felt that way before going on t or getting those gross udders obliterated surgically. Heterosexual relationships are an unsexy pit of dominance and submission, and lesbians just imitate this dynamic, albeit with even worse taste in music. And if you hate trans men so much, why do you butches all bind your boobs, have crewcuts, use male nicknames, throttle your femmes with strap ons, don't let your femmes touch you during sex, and act no different than some rage a holic bubba who beats the missus if she puts too much mayo on your sammich? As a trans man who bangs men up the ass and enjoys a loving, long term, egalitarian relationship with my beautiful feminine gay boyfriend who was born with a penis, I am endlessly curious about you bullies and your masochistic laydee friends.
Before I transitioned and got to join my hot feminine gay boyfriend in the men's room, I was way more scared of the mean looking bulldaggers and the lipstick licking pregnancy obsessed bimbos in the wombmoon's room than i ever would be of a trans girl who just wants to do her business and get out of there. Oh, and even more scary? Cow mothers bringing their already predatory male children in there and letting their boy brats peek under the stalls. Of course, all the silly uterus-brains find chulllldren adorable. Gag.
This argument might be valid if all trans women were pre op and wanted to penetrate at all costs, and if lesbians didn't storm the sex shops to buy painful fake penises in order to feel manly by slamming their submissive, orgasm faking wifey's innards and giving her urinary tract infections. Until strap on dildos in lesbian sex shops are as nonexistent as gay men buying "jenna Jameson's strap on pussy " from gay male sex shops, you silly macho ladies don't have a leg to stand on. And really, that's why you hate trans women so much…they don't have to deal with all the gross parts of womanhood (pms, bleeding, yeast, no orgasms, rape threat, gynecologist, menopause, pregnasty, cellulite, etc) and you do!

Transgender Youth: A Reader's Concerns
October 22, 2014
From a reader:
I just wanted to make you aware of something that is going on a lot in the various trans communities on reddit: they are falling all over themselves encouraging underage kids to order and take puberty blockers/hormones without doctor supervision and without their parents knowing.
Example one: http://www.reddit.com/r/asktransgender/comments/2frjzl/i_might_have_gone_overboard/ckc9nbp
"Just do your best to get a job, or ask your parents for allowance and order meds online. You probably can't buy much with the amount a 14 year old would make, but it's better than nothing, since you're that upset about it."
Example two: http://www.reddit.com/r/asktransgender/comments/2hy7q9/most_hurtful_comment_yet/ckx5cam
A fourteen year old kid (same kid that is featured here btw: http://bbrightstar.tumblr.com/post/98511520156/thirdwaytrans-atranspaige-does-anyone), is encouraged to get puberty blockers without his parents knowing about it.
Example three:
In this post, commenters tell the kid that "puberty blockers have no side effects" (http://www.reddit.com/r/asktransgender/comments/2jitun/im_not_allowed_to_transition_even_socially_im/clchmu1)
They also tell him to "Just DIY secretly. Make friends with a transgender who lives near your area and ask them to help you get hormones." (http://www.reddit.com/r/asktransgender/comments/2jitun/im_not_allowed_to_transition_even_socially_im/clcacyk)
Telling 14 year old kids to befriend random adults for favors is absolutely appaling.
And lastly: yesterday, that same kid made a post titled "What's the safest way to DIY hormones(mtf, age 14)" (http://www.reddit.com/r/asktransgender/comments/2jx9hm/whats_the_safest_way_to_diy_hormonesmtf_age_14/)
And again, the posters are being very "helpful", telling the kid to go ahead and import presciption drugs illegaly and behind the backs of his parents. Some posters tell him that it is dangerous, but they are downvoted. The kid also explicitly says that his pediatrician has advised against blockers and hormone treatment, but that is apparently not relevant to the good posters at r/asktransgender.
I've read a lot of this kids' posts, and not surprisingly his parents are extremely rigid enforcers of gender stereotypes. He's not allowed to grow out his hair or paint his nails.

OUTSIDE SALES Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at Paycom.
I was contacted by a Paycom recruiter and after speaking with him on the phone, I was set up with a first round interview. This was a webinar with the office manager for my specific location. Very simple and straightforward interview. The second interview was with the regional VP, which was a bit more difficult than the first. After being approved by the VP, I was invited into their office for a 4 hour prospecting session (cold calling and booking appointments). I ended up declining the offer to go in for the prospecting session.

- What have you been doing in the past few months to help you succeed in this role? Answer Question
I didn't formally get an offer letter, but I ended up declining an offer to go in for the prospecting session. I did this because I received an offer from a different company.

Practical advice about raising children
How did Silver Surfer get trapped in a bag on our window sill? And why is he so desperate to escape?
It's a convoluted tale that began at the Northwest Denver Toy Library. We're fortunate that the toy library is in the basement of our closest Denver Public Library branch. We make it there a few times a month, and the kids each choose two or three toys to check out. Sam usually chooses something that complements his own toys, like the police station below. Isabel always chooses the noisiest toys, with our blessing, since we'll be able to return them in three weeks.
The concept of a toy library exemplifies the idea of playing well with others. Our toy library has been a free resource for Denver families since 1980, and it's always run and stocked by volunteers. We're usually there on Saturdays, and inevitably run into someone we know. Kids and parents end up playing, talking and building community.
Sam has recently decided to let go of a few of his toys, in order to make room for more Legos, Trashies and Nanospeeds. The toys that he's willing to donate are small, and generally plastic, but for him it's a great start in the process of letting go. You can see that SpongeBob isn't sold on the idea of leaving his happy home.
The problem is that SpongeBob can't move to the toy library. Donated toys that aren't brand-new, must include proof that they meet federal safety standards. SpongeBob and all of his friends don't have papers, so we've come up with another option. In the tradition of The Toy Society, we're going to start leaving the toys at playgrounds, parks and other spots where a toy might come in handy. We decided to wrap the toys in bags marked "Free Toys" so the finders won't hesitate to take possession. We've been making the bags from old t-shirts, and writing on them with permanent marker, in the hope that they'll survive all types of weather conditions. We're looking forward to hiding and sharing many toys during the next few weeks.
Do you have any creative locations, where Silver Surfer and SpongeBob might find appreciative new owners?

The weather here is unseasonably warm, so we've got seeds and planting on our minds. We didn't grow very much last year, so this feels like the year to really go big. It helps that I've been reading Grow Great Grub by Gayla Trail, again. It's one of those books that makes the idea of planting a lot of food seem possible, even though we don't have a huge garden space. Here are some of the steps we're taking right now, to get on track to grow more of our own food this year:

• Mapping our entire yard space, so we can make better use of the light and shade. I really like this simple mapping tool from Gardener's Supply Company. We'll need to make a more detailed map of the small areas that we plan to use in our side and front yards.
• Deciding what we can realistically fit in our space.
• Gathering seeds! Seed Savers Exchange is a great resource.
• Finding and preparing alternative planters, inside and outside.
• Making a space to start some seeds inside; Gayla Trail has devoted a entire section of her You Grow Girl website to seed starting.

In addition to working with the garden spaces in and around our home, I'm also hoping to buy a plot in our school's community garden. When school began in August, Sam was very interested in the plum trees in the garden, so he'll be motivated to help care for the trees and help with the fall harvest. We're also figuring out our CSA (or NSA) budget, and which farm we'll support this year. We've been very happy with Monroe Farms during past years, but we've recently heard about some options that are even closer to our home.
Beyond the details and logistics of learning to grow more of our food, we're simply enjoying our time outside, absorbing the fresh air, the light, and of course the dirt.
What are you thinking of growing this year?

I thought our intention for this coming week would be centered on meal planning or cooking with healthier ingredients. Those types of goals are important, but through our intention to celebrate during our family meals, it became clear that presence is at the heart of the party. Showing up, staying engaged and being real.

Maybe you've been at a party, and even though the celebration part is happening, you don't feel a sense of engagement or truthfulness, from yourself or the people around you. I have to confess that I've been both disengaged and disingenuous way too often, particularly during the past year. Instead of facing uncomfortable realities or situations, I tend toward denial and avoidance.
Everything is fine. Where's my iPhone?
I'll give myself a little credit: I believe that I'm getting better at being present. I'm getting better at it because I have the chance to practice every day, particularly when I'm with my family. I'm learning that presence doesn't mean presenting a perfect facade. And I'm learning to give myself a break when I fall short.
At dinner tonight, we were all present. We brought silliness, impatience, laughter, spilled water glasses, complaints about beef ravioli, fights over seating arrangements, scatological humor, and a lot of love. Everything wasn't fine, but I didn't retreat to my iPhone. We all showed up to the party, and it was a come-as-you-are event.
What does being present mean to you? How does being present affect your family meals?

At our house, Sundays will be about setting an intention or focus for the week to come. Last year we focused on more of the practical matters of family meals. We still want to think about meal planning and healthy ingredients, but our most important mission is to celebrate the time we have together. For our family, for the coming week and beyond, our focus will be bringing joy and celebration to our everyday family meals.
Our Kings Day celebration centerpiece. Photo By Elise Roth Edwards.
We're rolling back into a normal routine with all of us spending long days at work and school. Our time together each morning and evening rushes by and is often diminished by stress, frustration, complaints and exhaustion. We've just had two weeks of beautifully slow mornings and evenings, and I'm hopeful that we can carry our vacation ways back to real life.
Our Kings Day celebration felt crowns. Photo By Elise Roth Edwards.
Celebrating Kings Day last Sunday was a foundation for our intention. Our pseudo-party was low key, not too fancy, and didn't require hours of sweating in the kitchen. The celebratory atmosphere was stoked by four kids running around the house with flashlights, a few felt crowns and one delicious, crumby cake.
Our alternative Kings Day cake. Photo By Elise Roth Edwards.
We started our own tradition by using a coffee cake recipe from The King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion. Sam and I also chose some non-traditional "trinkets" to bake into the cake. They included:
■ A nickel: you will have 5 years of good luck!
■ A mini-pretzel: you will have a flexible year
■ Chocolate chips: you will have a sweet year, OR you'll eat a lot of candy in the coming year
■ A dried cranberry: you will eat a lot of fruit in the coming year
■ A goldfish cracker: you will eat a lot of fish in the coming year
I'm glad that Sam's friend Max found the nickel—his expression was pure joy, and he beamed as we all hooted and hollered and celebrated his good luck. We then went on to hoot and holler every time someone found a chocolate chip, and there were a lot of chocolate chips mixed in, to guarantee a sweet year for everyone present. The goldfish cracker still hasn't been found, so we have a few more anticipatory dessert sessions to look forward to.
But the question remains: How can we come back to joy and celebration, when we're tired and burnt out?
To try to answer that question, we had a party brainstorm. Here are our top nine party moves that we'll try to bring to our meals. The caveat is that we'll only use the ideas if they lower our stress levels. If any idea results in even a hint of extra household stress, the idea will be abandoned mid-use and may or may not be entertained again.
1. Great parties have great music—girl, put your records on!
2. Mood lighting: flashlights, candlelight, Christmas lights, or all of these
3. Appetizers that could pan out to be the entire meal
4. Fancy drinks in fancy glasses
5. The "nice" dishes
6. Minimal dishes: napkins make great plates, and who needs forks if you've got toothpicks and skewers?
7. Electronic devices stowed away
8. Be a party person, or better yet, be the witty, charming, funny person that you are when you're at your best. Smile and look other people in the eye, because you want to connect. Ask your fellow party-goers questions, because you genuinely want to know the answers. Relax and enjoy the moment, because that's what you do at parties, right?
9. End the party with dancing, always.
What party tips would you suggest, to bring more celebration to everyday meals?
Throughout my life, I have lived in communities where I knew only a handful of my neighbors. I didn't ever ask to borrow a cup of sugar or flour like they did in the communities depicted in 1950s sitcoms. My mother, however, grew up in such a neighborhood, where there were 42 children living on one block. When kids played outside, all the neighbors looked out for them, not only the parents. In many ways, my husband and I have been seeking out such a community for our two young children.
My family will soon be moving to Belfast Cohousing and Ecovillage (BC&E) on the midcoast of Maine. Cohousing is collaborative housing where residents actively and intentionally participate in the design and operation of their own neighborhood.
Photo By Jeffrey Mabee/Courtesy Belfast Cohousing & Ecovillage
BC&E is a 36-unit community on 40-plus acres that will soon break ground on the approximately 4,000-square-foot common house with a large dining room, commercial kitchen, guest bedrooms, laundry room and playroom.
The community layout—including restricted access to automobiles with parking on the periphery, clustered homes, community vegetable and flower gardens, and preserved open space—makes it a safe and dynamic place for children to call home. There are currently 11 member households with children or little ones on the way, as well as numerous senior households that are eager to have a role in these children's lives.
Before deciding to join a cohousing community, I spoke with other people about their experiences. "Living in cohousing is amazing for children," says Forrest Espinoza, a mother of two, ages 8 and 11, who lives in Troy Gardens, a cohousing community in Madison, Wisconsin. "My kids enjoy playing with children of all ages. They play outside so much more. Before we moved here, I had a hard time getting them to go outside because there weren't other kids outside. The first couple years we lived here, I had trouble getting them to come inside!"
Espinoza believes this experience has been an opportunity for personal growth. "I've been thinking about how my children have to share a yard," says Espinoza. "If you were in a typical community, you would invite other children to come into your yard. If your children weren't getting along, you wouldn't invite those kids to come over and play. In a cohousing community, they have to work things out. It was frustrating in the beginning, but our whole family has experienced incredible growth."
In addition to having other children on hand to play with, there are also numerous adults that can enrich the children's lives. "My children know more adults who care for them and have relationships that go beyond me," says Stacy Lewis, who lives in a Seattle cohousing community with her husband and two sons, ages 6 and 9. "While moving here didn't instantly give us twenty new grandma and grandpas or aunts and uncles, cohousing provides many opportunities for shared experiences, and our connections deepen over time. It's true that we are closer with some folks than others, yet by the time they are grown, my children will have known and been known by many warm-hearted folks."
Restricted automobile access with centralized parking is a common feature of many cohousing communities. In addition to helping preserve open space, it also makes the community safer for children. "I know when my children go out the door, they're not going to get hit by a car," says Nessa Dertnig, a member of BC&E and a mother of two. "They can ride their bikes around and I can feel safe, even if they are not within eyesight. That certainly isn't the case where we live now."
The parents can also benefit considerably from a supportive cohousing community, particularly with childcare. "The kids can run back and forth to each other's houses," says Espinoza. "We don't have to call or text to work out all the details [for childcare] and we don't have to drive the kids back and forth."
From media exposure to conflict resolution, different parenting styles can present challenges for communities. My family is currently living in a cooperative house where there is a shared kitchen, dining room and family room. When a new family moved in, they brought a plastic battery-operated machine gun toy for the family room that lit up and made sounds when fired. I was shocked when I saw my 4-year-old daughter pretending to kill people with it. Thankfully, the other mother was receptive to keeping such toys out of common areas of the house.
Peacefully resolving potentially contentious situations requires a commitment to communication and the community. "To really get this community to work, we're all going to have to really work on growing as people and taking responsibility for our own issues, and learn to work with all different kinds of people," says Dertnig. "It's going to be important that we figure that out, support each other, and get training when we need it."
In addition to having other children on hand to play with, there are also numerous community traditions that kids can participate in. "I think we have richer spiritual lives," says Lewis. "My kids have more rituals and traditions than they would living in a single-family home. Traditional celebrations include an Easter egg hunt, Passover Seder, and pumpkin carving, but we also have coming of age ceremonies for teens and a waking up the trees procession for winter solstice. These mark time and provide context for what it means to be a human being in relationship to others and the natural world."
Uprooting ourselves and moving to BC&E is a big step for us and a leap of faith. My husband, Kiril Lozanova, grew up in a tight-knit Bulgarian village, where numerous families have lived as neighbors for generations.
"Humans are designed to live in communities, and it is much healthier to live that way," says my husband. "It is a human desire to share."
Sarah Lozanova is a mother of two, a holistic parenting coach, and a freelance environmental writer. She lives in Madison, Wisconsin, and has an MBA in sustainable development.
With the holidays representing such an incredible time of consumption, many of us are looking for ways to honor our traditions in a more sustainable way. Thankfully, there is a vast assortment of wonderful and eco-friendly options for kids on the market today, making it easy to find a unique gift that will please both the planet and a pint-sized recipient.
Of course, the gift solutions that are least impactful on the planet are right at home—upcycled gifts repurposed from household objects that would otherwise end up in a landfill are oftentimes easy to make and the most special. Not to mention easiest on your wallet. (You can find some ideas online on our Pinterest boards; be sure to check out our "Trash to Treasure" series.)
But, if you're looking for some more off-the-shelf options, here are some great ones that fit the following criteria.
• Produced domestically, and by smaller businesses
• Made with sustainable materials that are reusable, biodegradable, and/or recyclable
• Help to broaden children's perspective of the world around them
WWF Adoption Kit; Ages 0+; $25-$50
The World Wildlife Fund offers dozens of endangered animal adoption kits, from lions to Komodo dragons to rockhopper penguins. (They even have Gift Adoption Cards so your recipient can choose their own!) Adoption kits start at $25, but at the $50+ level you get a 12-inch plush replica of your new family member along with an adoption certificate, photo and species info card. This is a great way to support a child's love for a specific animal, or get them interested in a new one.
Green Kid Crafts Discovery Boxes; Ages 3 to 8; $19.50/month, gift subscriptions start at $58.50 for 3 months
This is a gift that keeps giving—every month your recipient receives a Discovery Box in the mail filled with three fun craft activity kits related to an exciting nature theme. Past themes have included Feathered Friends, Dinosaurs, I Love Bugs and Around the World, to name a few. Crafts are designed to build creativity and boost confidence, while the themes and extension activities spark their love for nature. The company uses safe, sustainable materials in each of its kits, donates a portion of sales to environmental charities, and retains a carbon neutral status through Carbon Fund.
Felt Sandwich Set; Ages 18 months+; $23
Boost kids' creativity with gifts that allow them to use their imaginations and engage in pretend play. Old formal wear that you have at home may quickly become a child's prized possession for "dress up." Or look for gifts like this Felt Sandwich Set from chickinfeathers, which is made of eco felt from recycled plastic bottles.
National Geographic Kids; Ages 6 to 14; $15 for 10 issues
Of course anything published by National Geographic is bound to be filled with stunning photography, and their kids' title is no exception. Add in some fun games and other kid-appealing content and you've got a gift that will keep them exploring all year.
Set of 8 soy "Peace on Earth" Crayons; Ages 3+; $10
These beautiful crayons are made from soy wax to be biodegradable, are paraffin-free and tinted only with nontoxic mineral pigments. In addition to its eco credentials, this set is simply beautiful and sure to make creative time even more special. It arrives in a cotton storage pouch and is sent in a gift box.
Reclaimed wood Safari Jeep; Ages 3+; $20
Etsy has a great selection of well-made, safe wooden car and train sets, like this Safari Jeep from Aro's Wood Crafts. Made of reclaimed oak and cedar wood, with wheels that move, luggage and a trailer hitch, this is a toy that will definitely be passed down.

For most of us, the holidays are a season filled with a lot of hustle and bustle. If we can conquer our shopping list, decorate the house, get the cards in the mail and still find time to don a reindeer sweater and sing a carol or two, we've found success.
So, while I am wary of adding another item to your holiday to-do list, I do want to propose that we parents keep in mind that the holidays are one of the best times to teach kids lessons that they will use for life about how to be thankful, how to be generous, and how to be responsible for their actions in the world. The best part is that most of these teachings arise from the things that you're doing anyway; you just need to be aware of them.
Give kids the best gift of all this year—self-awareness. Photo By Fotowerk/Courtesy Fotolia.
The underlying lesson for children is to realize that they are part of something bigger and that every action has a consequence, good or bad. Here are three ways to keep these goals in mind during the holidays:
So many families focus on turkey and pumpkin pie, but not nearly as many spend time actually talking about what they're thankful for. Whether setting up an activity like a Gratitude Tree, or simply making a point to go around the table during dinner and giving thanks, make sure that you focus on this key aspect of the holiday. For younger kids, I suggest that parents get the ball rolling so children think past the extra gravy they're happy about and start thinking deeper. Don't get discouraged if you get answers that wouldn't inspire a Dickens novel. It will take time, but they'll get the idea eventually.
Having talked about some of the things you're thankful for, and things that make you happy, ask your kids to answer this question, "Can you think of anything you can do to make someone else happy?" In an effort to support their creativity, try to resist the urge to evaluate their ideas but simply encourage them to brainstorm as many as possible. Once you've gotten a good set, pick out a few that are actionable. Calling Grandma and singing her a song, shopping for groceries for a family who doesn't have a nice meal, donating old blankets so someone else can have a warm bed, and donating toys to kids who don't have as many are all wonderful outcomes. Try to find some activities where kids can witness the effects of their actions first hand, supporting their understanding of cause and effect. For more ideas, Dr. Robyn Silverman offers a good list on her blog.
At Green Kid Crafts, one of our goals is to use our craft kits to engage kids with nature and help develop their respect for the environment. We feel that it is not only imperative that the next generation understand the importance of caring for our planet, but that this creates a higher level of self-awareness and compassion in them for all things. During the holidays, there are plenty of ways to teach environmental awareness at home:
• Make gifts by upcycling found objects at home. You can find any number of ideas online; we've collected our favorites on our DIY Gifts and Gifts for Kids Pinterest boards. Think too about immaterial gifts, like doing something nice for someone, instead of giving them a physical gift.
• When you do buy gifts, look for options that are minimally packaged and produced by socially responsible companies. Green America is a great resource for this. Talk to your kids about these benefits and why they're important to you.
• Think upcycling when it comes to decorations and wrapping paper to avoid introducing more things to the waste stream. You'll save money, have some fun and end up with a more personal and special result. Brown paper bags, egg cartons, and other commonly found household items make amazing decorations. Check out some inspiration here. Your kids will have a blast making these projects with you, and you'll be able to talk to them about why you're doing it this way versus buying something in a store.
• Recycle. Recycle. Recycle. Don't let the holidays throw off your family's good habits!
Keep these themes in mind throughout the holiday season, making sure to talk to your kids about them at every opportunity. You'll be amazed at how responsive they'll be and what a positive effect it will have on your holiday!

Red Bull Mini Drome ringside report + video
Plenty of action at Saturday night's Mini Drome, our man TR was ringside
Chris Akrigg had wings to take the win at the Red Bull Minidrome event on Saturday night in front of a packed crowd. Akrigg cruised to victory the biggest problem he faced on the way to his win coming in one of the earlier rounds of racing when he had to bunny hop a rider who'd fallen in front of him… Akrigg took that in his stride too (you can see for yourself in our video below).
That though is just the bare bones of an entertaining evening in Bethnal Green to give you a true flavour of the event here's our resident geezer and expert summariser, TR McGowran with a (nearly) live ringside report plus some videos he shot. Take it away TR…
"Welcome to the minidrome. If you can imagine a cat on a bicycle, cycling around in your bath then you have some idea of the scale of this track… as well as a fertile imagination, it's silly small.
What Redbull has created is the smallest possible, ridable, banked oval that you can build before it is classed as a 'wall of death' like you used to find at the circus or BBC1 idents. Still, that didn't put off over 100 riders registering to have a go and race on the merry-go-round. After four hours of whittling the numbers down on timed runs, it was time to pit the qualifying riders head to head in a 2 up pursuit eliminator and race the finals.
The winning technique seemed to be a kind of sling shot move taking a late apex and getting a boost out of the berms (banking surely, you're not at the BMX track now - ed). The faster riders were able to sustain a sub 4 second average over 10 laps of the tight circuit. The racing wasn't as tactical as you would find in a pursuit race over a normal sized velodrome, there isn't enough time for that, after only a couple of cranks you are dipping your shoulder into the next bank.
The majority of eliminated riders were literally ejected from the banked edges like a hammer being tossed from a circle which the audience, amped on Redbull and booze loved!
Bike set up favoured wide riser bars to get the control and the leverage out of the tight corners, the only person to be running drops in the quarter finals was Ana from Team Mule Bar Girl (motto fast, fearless female), plus she was wearing lycra and she looked great (unfortunately she went over the edge living up to the motto, good somersault though I'd give it an 8.3). Ana is in action on the first race in our vid.
From the outset there one person was dominating the track, able to gain a bike length before the first bend, trials supremo and Mongoose sponsored rider, Chris Akrigg. Chris not only caught up his opponent, in the quarter finals, he forced the poor chap into an error leaving him sprawled over the track… Chris in mid stroke bunny hopped his victim!
Before the main final Redbull caused more wincing than any of the riders had achieved from crashing by delaying the action and bringing on another trials ace, YouTube celebrity bike dancer, Danny McAskill. By this point the commentator had possibly had one energy drink too many and was taunting Danny to have a go on the track which he declined to do… several time over.
Now for the embarrassing moment anyone who has done a Powerpoint presentation has endured at some point,how do you get the f'ing video to play? Just at the point when it seemed the litter of cans and bottles would have be hurled at the commentator we had moving pictures… just in time. After a couple of minutes of dirt jumping with Kye Forte, the audience piped up enough to remind the organisers to put the right video on or start the racing again. Any who, 7 and a half minutes later we had finished watching Danny McAskill's latest YouTube success which no doubt every person in York Hall had already seen many times during the course of a working day.
On last effort from the commentator saw him congratulating Chris Akrigg as the loser of the runner up final even though he hadn't raced the main yet. Chris won in a very convincing manner, catching his opponent, Christian Vollmer from Colgne, within 3 laps. Job done. All in all a fun event but more for the novelty factor and the sugary energy drink… and possibly the cans of Guiness."
… Just like being there. Thanks TR.
For his efforts the Mongoose sponsored Akrigg won a Gold (well, we're guessing "golden") Charge Plug frame which will go nicely with the one he won at the Frome Cobble Wobble last autumn. On that occasion he showed his ability to turn power and handling skills in to speed on a cobbled climb in the middle of the Somerset town - winning it by being fastest, and smoothest, through the corners. Those same skills served him well on Saturday night too. We're already looking forward to Minidrome 2… although a Midi Drome might be even better.
Those of us outside of London will get a chance to catch some Mini Drome too during 2011, as Red Bull say they will be touring it around the UK. As as we have more dates and info we'll let you know.
Put some water in the middle and you have yourself a lap pool

Looks good fun, but don't run off the edge!
How on earth does their insurer let them race on a track with no means of catching or protecting riders falling over the edge, or the crowd being hit by a rider who has ridden off the edge?
I saw this a while ago on another site and thought that by now they would have installed some sort of safety barrier.
I'm not risk averse, but falling 6 or more feet onto my face, or onto a spectator, at 20mph is a risk too far.

Headlines January 18, 2005 Full Show | First Story >
Report: U.S. Troops Secretly Inside Iran
Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh is reporting the Pentagon has secretly sent troops inside Iran to identify possible military targets. U.S. forces have reportedly entered into eastern Iran from Afghanistan. According to Hersh's piece in the New Yorker, the president has authorized the Pentagon to send secret commando forces into as many as ten nations in the Middle East and South Asia. The secret forces could potentially carry out combat operations or even terrorist acts. Unlike secret CIA missions, the Pentagon can operate completely off the books without Congressional oversight.
Bush: We Can't Rule Out Military Action in Iran
On Monday the Pentagon criticized Seymour Hersh's article but President Bush told NBC News that he would not rule out taking military action against Iran.
Senate to Hold Condoleeza Rice Hearings
On Capitol Hill today, the Senate will begin holding confirmation hearings for Secretary of State nominee Condoleeza Rice. The White House is hoping to have her approved by Thursday's presidential inauguration. As President Bush's National Security Adviser Rice was a chief backer of the US invasion and even warned Iraq may use nuclear weapons. In September 2002 Rice said "We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud."
Kidnapped Catholic Bishop Released in Iraq
Meanwhile in Iraq, dozens of people have died in recent days as opponents of the US occupation stepped up attacks ahead of the Jan. 30 election. In Mosul, gunmen kidnapped one of the country's most prominent Christian leaders, Archbishop Basile Georges Casmoussa of Mosul. The bishop was released earlier today.
Pre-Election Violence Spreads to Southern Iraq
Pre-election attacks have also spread to the south, an area that had been peaceful.
Safety Concerns Hinder Election Preparation
With less than two weeks before the votes, most candidates have still not publicly announcing their candidacy out of safety concerns. Candidates are not campaigning. The locations of polling places are secret. And it is now unclear how many people will be able get to the polls. Iraq's election commission is considering banning all vehicular traffic on election day. In addition, officials announced that Iraq would close all its borders for three days ahead of the election.
Robert Fisk: Baghdad Has Become a "City of Fear"
Journalist Robert Fisk who just returned to Baghdad describes it as a 'city of fear" filled with Fearful Iraqis, fearful militiamen, fearful American soldiers, fearful journalists." Today a car bomb exploded outside the Baghdad office of the leading Shiite political party. At least two people died. Also today, Iraqi militants released a video showing that they had captured 8 Chinese hostages. They threatened to kill them in 48 hours unless China clarified its role in Iraq.
Bush: Election Proves U.S. Backs Iraq Policy
Meanwhile President Bush has told the Washington Post that because of his election victory, there is no reason to hold any administration officials accountable for mistakes or misjudgments in prewar planning or managing the deadly aftermath in Iraq. Bush described the elections as a " accountability moment." He said "The American people listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq, and they looked at the two candidates, and chose me."
Poll: 58% of U.S. Opposes Bush's Iraq Policy
However a new Washington Post/ABC News polls has found that 58 percent of the country now disapprove of how Bush has handled the Iraq situation.
Reservist Sentenced to 10 Years For Abu Ghraib Abuse
In other Iraq news, Army reservist Charles Graner was sentenced Friday to 10 years in military prison for his role in torturing Iraqi detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison. Graner was accused of stacking naked prisoners in a human pyramid and later ordering them to masturbate while other soldiers took photographs. He also allegedly punched one man in the head hard enough to knock him out, and struck an injured prisoner with a collapsible metal stick. Graner told jurors that he was ordered to abuse the detainees. So far none of Graner's superiors have been charged with any crimes.
Military Contractors Tied to Torture Reap Millions in New Contracts
The Observer newspaper of London reports that the two US military contractors most connected to the torture at Abu Ghraib continue to receive millions in Pentagon contracts. CACI International has been awarded a $16 million renewal of its contract. And the company Titan has been awarded a new contract worth $164 million. Human rights groups have called for the firms to be barred from receiving new contracts in Iraq.
CIA-Backed Haitian Death Squad Leader Sued for War Crimes
A former Haitian death squad leader who is now living in New York City has been sued by three Haitian women. They accused Emmanuel "Toto" Constant of torture, crimes against humanity and the systematic use of violence against women to terrorize the Haitian population in the early 1990s. Constant served as the leader of the Front for the Advancement and Progress of Haiti or FRAPH. Human rights group estimate that between 1991 and 1994, FRAPH killed thousands of supporters of Haitian president Jean Bertrand Aristide. Constant has since admitted that at the time he was on the payroll of the CIA. Since 1996 he has lived in Queens New York.
Kerry Criticizes Suppression of Vote in Ohio
In election news, while appearing at a celebration honoring Dr. Martin Luther King in Boston, Senator John Kerry criticized in his harshest words yet the presidential vote in Ohio. He charged that in Ohio "thousands of people were suppressed in the effort to vote." Until now Kerry has largely been silent on the controversial Ohio vote. Two weeks ago he declined to join California Senator Barbara Boxer to protest the counting of Ohio's electoral vote.
Harvard President Says Men Biologically Better Suited For Math
In education news, Harvard University president Lawrence Summers is coming under criticism for claiming that men outperform women in math and sciences not because of discriminatory educational practices but because of biological reasons. Summers also claimed that discrimination is no longer a career barrier for female academics. At Harvard, however, women continue to face a greater challenge getting tenured positions. During Summers' presidency, the number of tenured jobs offered to women has fallen from 36% to 13%. Last year, only four of 32 tenured job openings were offered to women.
Israel Threatens New Attack on Gaza
The Israeli government is threatening to launch a large-scale attack in Gaza if newly elected Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas fails to stop Palestinian militants from carrying out attacks. On Friday Ariel Sharon cut off ties to the new Palestinian government, just a day before Abbas was sworn in. On Saturday Israeli forces killed eight Palestinians in Gaza. On Thursday Palestinian militants attacked a border crossing killing six Israelis.
Purged Chinese Prime Minister Dies
In China, former prime minister Zhao Ziyang has died at the age of 86. He had lived the last 15 years under house arrest after being purged from the government for opposing the use of military force to crush the pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square in 1989.
Award-Winning Prison Journalist Released After 44 Years
Award winning prison journalist Wilbert Rideau has been freed from jail after 44 years. After he was jailed in 1961 for killing a bank teller, Rideau learned to read and write. He eventually started his own publication called "The Lifer" and became editor of the Angolite. In 1977 the Angolite became the first prison publication ever nominated for the National Magazine Awards. He also wrote and narrated an award-winning National Public radio documentary and directed the Oscar-nominated documentary "The Farm." In 1999 Rideau said "I didn't want a criminal act to be the final definition of me. I picked up a pen and tried to do something good. It allowed me to weave meaning into what would have been a meaningless existence. It also gave me a chance to try to make amends."
Lawyers Call For Clemency For Brain-Damaged Death Row Inmate
And in California, lawyers are calling on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to grant clemency to their client, Donald Beardslee, because they have uncovered new evidence that he is suffering from brain damage. He is scheduled to die from lethal injection just after midnight on Wednesday. He would become the first person executed in California in three years.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
05 Mar 2012 20:45 GMT | Asia, US & Canada, Afghanistan, United States
Two separate suicide attacks in Afghanistan have killed at least six people, sources say.
The bulk of Monday's casualties came in an attack outside the gates of the US-led airbase where copies of the Quran were burned, with at least five Afghans killed, according to officials.The target of the bombing was a vehicle belonging to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) near the Bagram base, in the northern province of Parwan.
"A suicide attacker came out of a truck and blew up his vest outside Bagram airfield [at a gate used by supply vehicles]," Abdul Basir Salangi, Parwan governor, told the AFP news agency.
Kabir Ahmad Rahil, the chief of Bagram district, said there could be foreign casualties.
Captian Justin Brockhoff, a NATO spokesman, said there were no reports of coalition fatalities, and the base itself was not breached by the explosion.
"Coalition officials are gathering details at this time, and more information may be released as appropriate," he said.
Rahil said the attacker was on foot when he blew himself up next to a vehicle in a small NATO convoy near the airbase.
At least four more civilians were wounded in the attack.In a text message to the media, Zabiullah Mujahid, a purported Taliban spokesman, claimed the attack was "in retaliation for the Quran burning", an incident that sent thousands of Afghans into the streets two weeks ago.
On one of their two official Twitter accounts, the Taliban confirmed the attack was "in revenge for the desecration of the Muslim holy book and other religious books by the Americans in the base".
The group, known to exaggerate casualty figures, claimed 12 "invaders" were killed in the Bagram attack by a resident of the eastern province of Logar.The demonstrations following reports of burnt Quran copies at the Bagram airbase, which the US said were unintentional, led to protests in several of the nation's 34 provinces and killed at least 30, including American soldiers shot by their Afghan colleagues.Earlier on Monday, a suicide blast in Jalalabad, in Nangarghar province, killed a member of the Afghan security forces and left another 12, including eight civilians, wounded.Ahmad Zia Abduzai, the provincial spokesman, told Afghan media that the attack in Jalalabad, eastern Afghanistan's second largest city, targeted a police checkpoint near the governor's office.
"Unfortunately, up to now 12 people were wounded and one martyred, he said, referring to the Afghan soldier.
No groups have as yet taken credit for the blast.
