Alexander Roy is bald and he's an outlaw in the road rally racing world. Here's what the NY Times had to say about him:

"Roy, the 35-year-old president of Europe by Car, a high-end car rental agency based in New York, has achieved fame in automotive circles for participating in road rallies like the Gumball 3000 and Bullrun. Those events are successors to the 1970s Cannonball Runs that inspired the movie franchise.

The events are usually weeklong affairs that do not officially sanction racing but involve teams speeding from checkpoint to checkpoint.

A relentless self-promoter with a shiny bald head, Roy became known for driving in a mock German police car dressed as an officer. He reasoned the outfit could help keep him out of jail and win style points with judges and notoriety with fans. His co-driver, Maher, 28, works in banking and races in Porsche club events on weekends. " (Read the entire article)

Roy recently came out with the book, “The Driver: My Dangerous Pursuit of Speed and Truth in the Outlaw Racing World,” which describes a subculture of illegal endurance racing and efforts to break transcontinental records set in the 1970s and ’80s.



Thanks to our member, ChallengeMe, I found this NYTimes.com article on Alexander Roy

With Hitman the movie due to release tomorrow, there's a lot of talk going on; especially in the head shaving community. There is also a lot of talk about this movie in the general media, such as this article in the San Francisco Chronicle about why naturally bald men should be mad that Timothy Olyphant, with a full head of hair, got the role instead of a guy that already shaves his head. Either way, this movie is generating a lot of buzz.

With the buzz of Hitman the movie, things are starting to make their way into the general population from the depths of the real Hitman fans, the gamers who played the game before it was a movie. One such thing are the fans' emulation of Agent 47 by shaving their head and getting a bar code tattoo. Even one of the Sly Bald Guys' members, who just happens to go by the name of Agent 47, has a bar code tattoo on his shaved head. But, he even went one step further and registered is bar code with the UPC, which means that he can scan his head at the grocery store!

You can read the post on the forum where Agent 47 talks about getting his tattoo by clicking here - http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=33.msg52554#msg52554



So, what do I think about all of this? Well, I think the movie looks awesome! I always love to see bald guys portrayed in movies because it shows other guys that they don't have to be so worried about losing their hair. This movie also gives more hype to how bad ass a shaved head looks. The more buzz, the better! I'm just hoping that I can make it out to the theater to see this one. It's a bit hard with the newborn in the house, but I'll make a valiant effort to get out for Hitman.

If any of you see the movie, post up a comment and let me know what you think.

Attention all HeadBladers! 

Did you want a Limited Edition HeadBlade S4 but couldn’t get your hands on one before they ran out?  Would you like to own a HeadBlade that only a few people in the world will have?  Now’s your chance!

HeadBlade recently developed a prototype HeadBlade Sport that is so cool, you could mistake it for an ice cube. What’s so awesome about this HeadBlade Sport?  It’s clear!  Yes, you can see right through it!

Don’t believe me?  Here’s a picture!


How do you get one of these stealthy blades?

There are only 20 of these clear blades that are still available to the public and HeadBlade has partnered with Sly Bald Guys to determine who is worthy to have such a cool HeadBlade.

How much do they cost?  Nothing!  You can’t buy them.  That’s right, they are not for sale.

In order to get one of these bad boys, you need to prove that you’re worthy of owning one.  To prove you are worthy, you will be competing against others in 3 different categories, Best Owner, Where Have You Taken Your HeadBlade?, and The Best HeadBlade Video.

To get started:

1. Decide which category or categories that you are going to compete in.  You only have to enter one to win a blade, but you are free to enter all three.  Though, you can only win one blade regardless of how many categories you enter.
2. If you aren't already a member, sign up and become a member of Sly Bald Guys at SlyBaldGuys.com.  It’s free and only takes a minute.
3. Post up your entry in the Forum at SlyBaldGuys.com.  Make sure to get your entry into the correct topic.

There will be 19 total winners (of course I have one!) of a Clear HeadBlade Sport.  That means there will be several winners per category.  How many per category?  We don’t know yet.  That depends on the creativity of all the contestants and what the members of Sly Bald Guys think.

Here’s how it will work.  You and the rest of the contestants will submit your entries through November 1st.  As of November 2nd, at 12:00 AM Pacific Time, entries will no longer be accepted.  A team of Sly Bald Guys Moderators (and potentially staff from HeadBlade) will then determine the finalists.  Once the finalists are chosen, members of Sly Bald Guys will be able to vote for the top 19 people they think are worthy of the Clear HeadBlade Sport.  Each member will have 19 votes, but will only be able to vote for a specific person once.

A little more on the categories.
