The MTBCUT team slayed it this year setting the bar pretty dam high for sponsorship and what you do to HELP grow a brand by having fun and paying it forward!

2009, well it's been a good year for myself. I've pulled some sweet results out of the bag and had a flippin marvelous time as well. It was my first year riding for MTBCut/Cyclejersey and let me be the first to say it was a pleasure. We've had some blazing results this year and some good laughs as well.

After all the highs and lows through the year the team found itself in a quiet valley in southern Wales for the final round of the NPS series. Rheola is a track I've ridden before and it is also a track I wasn't too keen on. It was pretty much 1 line flat out in a rut the whole way. Race over I can officially say it's one of the best tracks I've raced on in Britain. The guys who reworked the track added in some awesome, fresh, gnarly, rooty sections which gave the track some variation and just added a whole lot of rad to the situation.

Myself and Barnes were fresh back from Europe and were feeling good on the bikes, Coatesy was feeling strong after posting some record power outputs in testing, Hutchens was pumped to have a pink 225 to rag down the hill and James as always was stoked to be there. Practice was real good fun on the fresh bits of track as it changed every run. I was all over this new super booter the builders had erected which meant I could bring out the superior pencil skills and entertain the crowd/myself.

Racing went pretty well for the team. Coatsey put in a solid result which secured him 3rd overall in senior. James had the biggest stack in seeding but manned up and just missed the junior podium in 6th. Hutchens had a bad day at the office and was O.T.A. Joe had a pretty good run and scored 5th in Elite and I scored myself a victory which rounded out my season quite nicely.

This has been one hell of a year and I've got to be lame and thank a few guys because they're the people that make it all happen. So obviously cheers to Stu and Brian for keeping us bunch of weapons rubber side down. Thanks to Orange Mountain Bikes for supplying us with the best frames out there. Thanks to Hope, IXS, Straitline, Hotlines, Silverfish and Madison for supplying us with the only kit you'd ever want to run. Big thanks to anyone else who's helped out along the way, you're all legends. Oh yeh, also wee man, I love you too.

If anyone wants me over the winter I'll be in the gym.

See you next year.

Eurobike /Playboy

I am so late posting about Eurobike and most people have done a better job exposing what's new and all that.  The boys over at Sicklines.com have compiled a great list of coverage. Just go there and save me the trouble !! SICKLINES COMPLILATION

All I have is this… a picture of me hoisting up our Spanish distributor Luis while Dennis insults him!  It is a fun show, really all about building relation ships.

I find it boring really going over the same old stuff, but we  did drop our new silent chain guide device that was very well received. Weight/ price and the fact that it is silent and actually works was all people needed to know stoked to release it next month to the masses. Below is showing the Kawasaki racing green sliders but we plan to make 4 color options but keep the bash and boomerang matt black.

32th  –36th and only 176 grams gets you a complete guide 32th -36th including the bash guard that is made out of 7000 aluminum and 205 grams for the 36-40 th version.

 

By far the coolest highlight of the show was being contacted by the German division of Playboy for a web segment in their magazine, who says no to that?
