HorroH came about after splitting ways with another clothing company I was doing with a friend. I wanted to get the ideas I had in my head on to tees. HorroH (pronounced "Whore-O"...lol, that's the easiest way to say it) is a palindrome. HorroH started out being limited release shirts and has sort of moved away from that to now focus on sponsoring riders and promoting events. I'm still planning on making tees, just not as often.
5. You are the organizer of Fixed Fight. Over the last 3 years it has grown in attendance. Tell everyone what to expect in Fixed Fight 4?
This race is a big passion of mine. The first year the race was put on was the first time an alleycat was held in St. Petersburg, FL. We didn't know what to expect. The whole fixed gear craze was just hitting the area in full swing. Well, we had 100 registered racers that year. Fixed Fight 2 saw around 150. This year Fixed Fight 3 had just under 200 racers! I have to thank my good friend Pete Young (HorroH team rider) for his help this year. So next year Fixed Fight 4 will be bigger & better for sure. I've already started lining up some BIG surprises. Sorry, no spoilers.
6. What are your opinions regarding the growth in fixed gear/singlespeed over the last 5 years? I'm right there in that growth. I'm no veteran of this stuff so I'd be crazy to say I don't feel like I'm a part of the growth. Whatever gets people on bikes is cool with me.
7. Favorite place to ride? Why?
Honestly I think the best place to ride is where you're riding. Make your own city the best place to ride and don't let a bad city control if you have a good time.
8. Beverage of choice?
Good ol water. I'm a simple dude.
9. Regarding cycling. What is the one thing that Todd hates?
I don't "hate" anything, but I do dislike when fellow cyclists hassle new cyclists. Everyone deserves a chance to learn and ride.
10. What can we expect to see from Horroh and Todd in the future?
Expect well organized events from HorroH. You might even see a HorroH branded chewing gum... Why not! As for me, I'll be around.
11. What are the companies out there that you are really into regarding cycling, fixed gear?
I have to start with Mash. Mike Martin really supported me when we did the first Fixed Fight and I'll never forget that. I have to give some love to 66Fixed in St. Petersburg too. Michael over there keeps a lot of FL rolling. Other than that I like whatever is hyphy! Ha.
12. Anything else that you would like to add? Maybe tell us when we are going to see Todd pulling wheelies and keo spins?
Todd doesn't do wheelies. Todd doesn't do tricks. Todd doesn't normally talk in the third person. Seriously though, I have a lot of respect for the kids doing tricks. I like to cruise though. Every now and then I'll mash it. Everyone has their thing and I like to think mine is flow.
