So Close So Far
This is a space to examine distance. Between concrete and dust. Between ourselves and the other. Between what’s been and what’s becoming. Between what’s close and what’s far.This is a space at the intersection of human powered activity and creative expression. Where we spit out what they fed us about how our sport and culture fit together. Where we flip the stories we’ve been told about cycling and running upside down. Where token hood is denied and new standards are drawn up. Where what’s close and what’s far collide. Los Angeles. We have mountains, rivers, oceans. Wide neighborhoods and glass towers. Fast and slow motion. Color and context. Thriving community. We champion individuality and dismantle stereotypes. We open minds. We play and we share.In Los Angeles, we live in this space every day. We’re always so close and so far.
