Red Hook Crit 2013: Round One Recap

Posted: April 03, 2013 11:12AM | Author: R* Y

It was an epic night of cycling action this past Saturday in Brooklyn in the kickoff to the 2013 Red Hook Crit Championship Series. Cheers to the estimated 8,000 spectators who flooded to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal to watch some serious competition in the evening crit. With the top ten racers all finishing within three seconds of each other, cycling fans were witness to a genuine nail biter. Our congratulations to the first place winner of Saturday's Red Hook leg - New York's own Neil Bezdek with a time of 41:32.31. Already a two-time winner and favorite from the beginning, Bezdek rode consistently, staying in the lead pack for most of the race. During a tough final hairpin turn, Bezdek made a move for first and never looked back - finishing three or four bike lengths ahead of the competition. In second and third were Evan Murphy and Walton Brush, crossing the finish line at 41:33.02 and 41:33.68, respectively.

Shout outs are also in order to our Rockstar team riders Stephan Hoffman and Kacey Manderfield Lloyd. Hoffman - one of five Brooklyn hometown contenders – won one of two primes for finishing in first place at the halfway point in the race on the 12th lap. Overcoming a crash on the last corner of the race, Hoffman fought through the final stretch and still managed to claim 25th overall at 42:04.31. Lloyd, the sole female finisher of the day, also had an impressive showing at 46:50.96. Both Hoffman and Lloyd were represented on the winner’s podium after the race for their performances.

Prior to the main cycling event came a pair of intense men’s and women's 5K foot races in which Ethiopian talent ruled the day. The men's winning field saw competition as tight as the cycling portion as Tesfaye Dube, with a time of 14:18.77, came in just behind winner Ketema Nigusse's 14:17.00 champion finish and runner Mikael Kahsay came in third at 14:30.26. For the women's race, Tsehay Gebre won comfortably at 16:24.80, followed by Tigist Tufa at 16:52.79. Panama's Rolanda Bell won a highly contested and close first lap prime, recovering to get third overall at 17:09.03.

A huge thanks to all who made Saturday such a great event and we hope to see you out at the next leg of the 2013 series which will be held June 8th at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Information on this and other remaining rounds can be found at the Red Hook Crit official website.

Check out RHC's Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter for more visuals from the event or download the free Red Hook Crit App by HatchMAP for iOS - and watch the sweet video recap below courtesy of animalnewyork.com where one fearless racer sums up the night's action perhaps most fittingly: "Fast... f***ing fast"...

UPDATE: Read ESPN’s coverage of the Red Hook Crit: “The Red Hook Criterium may be the greatest bicycle race in America. Or the hippest. Or the strangest. Or the strangest, hippest, greatest bicycle race in America.”

Rockstar Fansites Roundup: NightFall Video, Sticker Bombing, GTAIV Machinima, Red Dead in Liberty City Mod & GTA Fan Art

Posted: September 19, 2012 3:29PM | Author: R* A

Here's a quick look across the landscape of dedicated fansites covering Rockstar and our game titles. These guys have been riding with us for quite a while now so big thanks to them for the longtime support - we recommend stopping by their sites to have a look at lots of additional content and analysis from the fan perspective. Here's some cool stuff out there we've seen recently...

• The team at RockstarBase are getting into the Los Santos spirit with an article entitled "Pre GTAV: LA Time Lapse", featuring a really spectacular video of the real City of Angels at NightFall. We recommend to go HD and fullscreen to see it in full splendor.

• In "The Sticker Effect", ChicagoEnigma at Rockstar Network rats himself out for his nefarious habit of Rockstar sticker-bombing. You can also check out The Sticker Project over on their forums for more details. We will neither condone nor condemn such activity...
   
• If you've played far enough into Max Payne 3's story or have toured the maps of the Local Justice Pack, you've likely paid a trip to the Imperial Palace Hotel in the game - a place that Max himself gives a less than glowing Yelp review of in the game, calling it "a 5 star bonafide s**thole". The guys over at PayneReactor did some digging to find out that there is actually a real hotel by the same name in Brazil. "Imperial Palace" is actually a pretty common hotel name out there around the world, with unaffiliated instances notable in Las Vegas, Korea, the Philipines and beyond - as for the Brazilian one, being on practically the opposite side of the country from São Paulo in Juazeiro do Norte on the north coast, this is mere coincidence and was not at all a scouted source reference for the in-game location - plus the real Brazilian hotel looks pretty spiffy by comparison.

• GTAGaming recently highlighted The Adventador Redemption, an incredible new bit of narrative machinima created by Beat with Grand Theft Auto IV PC. Telling a dark and stylized crime story of a Russian assassin - it's definitely worth a watch above.
  
  They also let their readers know about Red Dead Desert '12, a new mod for GTAIV PC that gives you a wide open desert to explore, including cliffs, big rocks, a cave mine, an airfield, oil refinery, dirt trails, new vehicles and a whole lot more.

A pair of fan created artwork pieces depicting Niko and CJ respectively from MikeMeth.

• And finally, some fan artwork from earlier in the summer depicting GTAIV's Niko Bellic (left) and GTA: San Andreas' Carl Johnson (right) popped up in a news article on iGrandTheftAuto.com. The nicely illustrated portraits were created by MikeMeth, and you can check out more various works at his deviantART page.

We always keep a close eye at what's going on in throughout our fan community, so stay tuned for more updates on articles and pieces of interest.

If you own or belong to a fansite that's running a particularly fun poll, have posted a great article, or anything else noteworthy, feel free to drop us a line at mouthoff@rockstargames.com letting us know and we'll have a look for consideration to feature in an upcoming edition of the Fansite Roundup.
