FOR IMMEDIATE (OR LEISURELY) RELEASE
January 25, 2009
NEW YORK – Responding to the urgent need for ANOTHER Cat 4-laden cycling squad, Kingpin Racing-HJD is proud to announce its formation as a 2009 CRCA sub-team. Inspired by the camaraderie and sportsmanship depicted in the classic bowling films of the late 1990s, as well as a passion for riding as quickly in circles as possible, Kingpin Racing-HJD’s riders look forward to participating in the full slate of CRCA races as well as many local and regional events.
Kingpin Racing-HJD’s primary 2009 sponsor is the New York University Hospital for Joint Diseases (HJD), a premier facility specializing in orthopedic surgery, rheumatology & molecular medicine, rehabilitation medicine, and neurology. Currently ranked eighth nationally among orthopedic hospitals by US News and World Report, HJD boasts a staff of experienced physicians and a world-class facility in the Gramercy neighborhood of Manhattan. Check out HJD online at: www.med.nyu.edu/hjd, or call them at: 800-HJD- DOCS. Kingpin Racing-HJD is also supported by: Hungarian National Cyclocross Champion Zoltan Tisza (www.ZoltanCoaching.com); Strictly Bicycles, with its brand new Ft. Lee location (www.strictlybicycles.com); Perseus Telecom, a carrier-neutral broker of telecommunications for customers in North America and Europe (www.perseustelecom.com); and OrthoChick.net, the brand and web location of fellow CRCA member Claudette Lajam, MD's orthopedic surgery practice. Dr. Lajam offers special consideration for cyclists, who are scheduled for appointments on a priority basis.
The 2009 roster consists of: Jeff Baumgardner, Jamie Brown, Brian Gatens, Jack Jefferies, Jim Mernin, Jock Percy, David Richman, Adam Rosenthal, Douglas von Bushberger, and Josh Warshofsky. Aside from newcomer Percy, the riders have two years’ experience racing together, and all share a genuine love for team tactics. Some may say this is simply because of a decided dearth of real individual “talent” on the team. Perhaps they have a point. Nonetheless, and regardless of results, Kingpin Racing-HJD takes seriously its goal of being more than just a bunch of guys riding around in the same shirt.
In addition, Kingpin Racing-HJD’s riders will continue their commitment to serving the larger community. In years past, our riders have: volunteered to accompany wheelchair and handcycle racers at the NYC Marathon; volunteered to work with blind riders via the Achilles Track Club programs; served as ride leaders for the NJCare Plus RIde for Wellness; and performed extra marshaling duty for CRCA when needed. Kingpin-HJD recognizes its responsibility as an ambassador of the sport and looks forward to continuing these types of activities.
Kingpin Racing-HJD wishes good luck and safe racing to all our fellow racers. Look out for our soon-to-be-created trove of cycling treasure: www.kingpinracing.net.

The team split was the hard part. I know you Kingpins are excited, and enjoy your season. TOA team remains, and all I can say is that I really like being a part of it. We are looking forward to the season, and keep the reason for the team true: healthy sport, good attitude, so forth.
"Fight Club". Presented by Gleason's gym.
The team keeps eating Meatloaf, thus are too fat to ever upgrade. They crash often to "HTFU" and never talk about it. To anyone.
In an odd twist of fate, at the end of the season, they all end up in wood chippers. The End.

why the spade? just for looks or is there a meaning to it? cool kits though.
the quotes, too.

at least i'm house trained
HTFU.
but i don't live in my parents basement. got anything else?
of you, kind sir, who cares enough to take time from living in your parents' basement to actual weigh in and comment on the cultural deprivation of those who watch The Big Lebowski is truly Lebowskian in nature.
I love you, but sooner or later, you're going to have to face the fact you're a goddamn moron.
dudes...abide
seriously, it's a give-in that bike racers aren't the coolest group of guys around, but you lebowski quoters are seriously culturally deprived dorks. find some new reference points to bond over.
love, 10:16
make it stop
I like your style, Dude.
Are these the Nazis, Walter?
No, Donny. These men are nihilists. There's nothing to be afraid of.
Great kit guys. The Mitch stayed in the pack (not part of the break)? Anyways, good luck for the season. New Strictly location is very nice. Hope Nelson gave you guys a good deal. He is a nice guy but a good businessman too.
See you on the road. Stoffel
obviously too many trainer sessions watching that movie. try a french film next time, perhaps, or maybe some werner herzog.
Are you EMPLOYED, sir?
Hey guys, Good luck this year. We'll miss you at TOA but as usual we'll be seeing you at TOG! I'll echo the other comments about the kit - looks nice and will make it easier to follow your wheels and breakaway attempts (you will attempt them, no? but once I'm back you know you won't be succeeding at them either!). I'm a little disappointed you couldn't land American Beef as a sponsor. Maybe next year...
;-)
jhs
Life does not stop and start at your convenience, you miserable piece of s**t.
are you guys going to be quoting the big lebowski for the rest ofyour lives or will you get new jokes to overuse to death?
thanks for ruining that movie
The Dude abides.
Watch The Big Lebowski, smack yourself in the head, repeat.
Any other new teams? what happened to S.Africa? Who is the Rapha team?
primal wear
Nice Shepard Fairey reference.
17:15 here...is that what the red lettering says ("Abide")? What's the scoop on that, or is that a secret handshake? Sorry I'm going blind, sorry can't see it too clearly on my computer. Great looking kit by the way, kudos to the designer.
come on 17:15
team High Road needs to contact your kit designer immediately
who/what is the mustache/sunglasses guy on rear jersey pocket?
team bikes - Colnago perhaps?
And to those calling out for the identities of the haters, well, I can't say I really care who the haters are. We appreciate the compliments, anonymous or otherwise.
Regarding OA: Jack Baranski and Co. roll on, classy as always. Our little group comprises many of OA's meat-eating heretics, so Jack's life has probably gotten a little easier with our moving on. :)
;-)
Great kits!
To Haters/cowards: Time to man-up you're not 15 years old anymore -if you are gonna hate at least sign your name!!
I would love it if Alex, Andy and Dan published the IP addresses of all the anonymous hater folks at the end of each month.
Where is the Palisades Park? Sounds like some new venues for the series?
good luck Dudes! and remember, the Chinaman is not the issue here.
nice kits
Did you guys get permission to use "HTFU"?
Great kit! Maybe you should do a special edition kit in honor of Bill Murray with a red rose inside a clear bowling ball.
That would be supercool!
There are some nice kits for 09.
Let's all remember that if posters 10:00 and 10:58 decide to punch each other out and an injury occurs, please know that Dr. Claudette LaJam and HJD are there for all your medical needs.
cool kits!
same shit, it's guys talkin bull to put other guys down, this only shows their fear nothing else, grow some nods and accept others
huh?
but makes sense, if oa team became too large why not have two teams, nyv births a subteam every year it seems and brings new folks to racing, why the hell not.
and to poster below this isn't a "cool" competition is it? have we already come down to highschool level of repression a month before season started? and are you on a team that never crashed or the one that never caused others to crash?
IS Organic Athlete Done? What will the TTVegan do?
Good luck!
would be cooler if the butt said STFU
will you crash more or less than organic athlete?
Very cool. Nice work guys
