NYC X Paria.cc
Malcolm Richards,
Have you ever shared a conversation with another human and thought back to yourselves 'Fuck, they've stepped up' well after one afternoon / evening with Malcolm I could already tell he deserved to be exactly where he was right now in his life!
Malcolm with the big apple.
Always down for the crew! (cheapest beer around!)
Raddest room, EVER.
Fresh Paria.CC threads!
Reflecting after Red Hook Crit, with a timeless view!
Calm before the storm, cheeky devil.
This is my favourite shot of Malcolm, this says more then a 1000 words to me!
When I hear 'These social media sites are swallowing up our actual social skills' I can't help but to think, well you're doing something wrong.... Because I ended up in NYC hanging out with some of the greatest people I have ever met just from using social media along side my social skills, well and riding bikes obviously helped!
Paria.CC, without Sam (the boss man) myself and Malcolm would have never met, so I have to throw a big thank you to that guy for sure! Now I know this is a 'cycling blog' but I started blogging because writing about my life was super fun, even before cycling knowing other people may find inspiration or even comedic values from some of the situations I may have been in. Being along side Malcolm for my short time in NYC inspired me massively, knowing how hard the guy works in all areas of his life not only cycling.
Block to Block Malcolm would smile, say hello to a tonne of people and well all in all just be a humble mvtherfvcka.... I felt apart of a family when I rolled with Malcolm and the crews in NYC, nobody had an ego, no envy, just pure fun whilst sliding between cars and passing beers around (which were well deserved after the Crit)!
I feel blessed to call Malcolm a friend, I'd go as far to say he's family from across the pond! Some say you can't choose your family... They're wrong.
Surround yourself with people like Malcom, Paria.CC and the NYC crew... They'll never let you down!
Please take in the video and photographs, they mean a lot to me.
