Track Day

Category: FunDmitry @ 5:26 pm

Took my triumph to a track, which is something I’ve wanted to do for a while. It was really fun but unfortunately we had some crashes and couple of people got hurt pretty bad: a women flipped over her bike at 130mph and one guy slid into a wall.

Got a track bike: Triumph 675

Category: FunDmitry @ 3:09 am

This bike has amazing unique 3 cylinder motor — its kind of like the best of v-twin torque and inline-4 smooth power delivery. The sound is intoxicating when you open it up on a freeway — sounds like Formula 1 with a turbo. You hear a whistle and intake noise, and 2 tones from exhaust. Each 1000 rpm increment is the next key (like on a piano). So, if you’re a musician you can know exactly what rpm you’re in without looking at the tach. Super stable at higher speeds with telepathic steering. I am pretty psyched!

Breakdancing with friends at LO-FI

Category: FunDmitry @ 12:17 am

Dancing with Free and Orbitron (Circle of Fire crew), and other local bboys at club “LO_FI” (Seattle):

Orbitron is freestyling on the second half of the video.

Listen to 4:23

“… great to see release – my man goes
Dmitry is in the circle — he spins and let goes
with the palm on a hand over jacket

grant stand I can grand slam when I got here
Tip the beat, rock and nod, spot the block, till I get off to my forehead
Ya’ll know where its at, ya’ll spin on a hat …”


My ankle is feeling much better! I can finally start dancing again!!!

Evolution: Keep the wing or go wingless?

Category: FunDmitry @ 2:44 am

What do you guys think? Should I keep the stock wing, take it off, or get a little “trunk lip” for my car?

Stock Wing

So, here is a picture of my car (first pic). I think the stock wing is kinda big and silly, but it is functional … if I am taking 90-degree corners at 160 mph.

This car isn’t meant to be “pretty” — its all purely functional. But I think taking a wing off might make it look more subtle.

Jackie Chan and Mitsubishi

Category: FunDmitry @ 6:59 am

Jackie Chan has the same car as meJackie Chan loves EVOs (Mitsubishi Evolution) and owns all generations of them (which is 1 through 10). Most of his movies have an Evo chase seen – watch “Who am I”, “Thunderbolt”). As you know, he does his own stunts and most of he is also a great driver.

Crazy Legs of Rock Steady Crew will be at our studio

Category: FunDmitry @ 8:59 am

I got to teach a hip hop / footwork class tonight because my buddy Shanner was gone. Heard some great news … “Crazy Legs” of the Rock Steady Crew is going to be teaching a workshop at our dance studio (Simply Dance). I am pretty psyched about it. This guy pretty much invented breaking, windmills … etc.
