Bust Dat Ass

4/2/2018

Cedar Hill has always supported women's cycling, equal time equal payouts. Last month we announced we were partnering with the Tennessee Women's Cycling Project to kick-off the 2018 Tennessee Women's Masters Series. 

We're gonna keep this going and over the next 4 weeks, share some cool stories in hopes that more women are inspired to ride and perhaps one day race their bike. 

5 questions with gnar-shredder, artist, and sometimes custom frame-painter, Jena Cook.

1. Do you shred gnar? What's that all about? 
​….." I still don't even know what that really means, but I'm pretty sure that whatever I'm doing on the mountain bike doesn't qualify as "shredding the gnar." I'm just trying not to crash. I'm a roadie that occasionally moonlights as a mountain biker."

2. How'd you get into painting bikes?
"I love painting. I love bikes. I guess it was only a matter of time. I was inspired after being shown the Instagram pages of some really great painters and thought, "I'd like to give that a try." I had a few friends give me some old frames to play with to start.

3. Bust dat ass.  What's this all about?

"Heckling amongst friends. The fella this frame was painted for, this is what he is always telling his friends he is going to do to them on bike rides.  I'm gonna bust dat ass! This guy and his friends, they really love to try and destroy one another on the bike and they have so much fun. So I had to put his famous line on the inside of the chain stay."
​

4. How many beers did it take to paint this frame?
​" Too many to count!"

4. What are you currently working on?
" I got a little Specialized frame and fork that is getting a nice little makeover at the moment. I'm really excited about it!"  


5. Obviously you're really talented when it comes to drinking beer and painting frames. What else keeps you busy?  Where can folks find your stuff or contact you for custom work?
​" I stay busy doing all sorts of various painting projects. Murals, portraits, set painting. You can see some of the things I've worked on at www.jenacook.com "

Dang. That's some serious range, Sister.
