Chrome is hosting a Messenger Appreciation Bucking Barrel Tournament this Thursday, May 20th. Basically, they made a barrel rig that is suspended by rope on all 4 sides. Each participant gets to “mount the bull” and attempt to stay on while those competing against him/her shake the ropes and try to knock them off of the “bull”. Should be pretty fucking awesome. The event is open to everyone and anyone, however, only working messengers qualify to compete in the tournament (hence, messenger appreciation). 

In conjunction with the tournament, we’ll also be running a fundraiser raffle the night of the event. Proceeds from the raffle go towards supporting Squid’s Velo City Tour track event.
