Hitler’s Trip to Whistler!

Okay the following sentence allows me to post and laugh at this video because it is ridiculously bad and not really meant to offend anyone…

 

“Straitline Components does not endorse or support any views or beliefs depicted in the following video, viewer discretion is advised 18+!”

 

Now we also do great business in Germany as well and this does not reflect on us in anyways or on the amazing German friends we have, history is history but just take a peak and have a sense of humor.

 

Ready?

 

Now more promised shots from Eurobike that I promised ages ago!

In random order…

EUROBIKE 09 032

It was so jammed packed this year our options were to hang with the Transition bike crew 2 hours away in Austria, Sleep i na drained indoor pool with Ruedi of TSG and all his athletes or buy a sweet ass tent and camp 300 ft away from the show!  Slept like babies and could roll out of bed and walk to the show. We left the tent when we left all made up like as if we were still there camping, not sure how long it took them to figure out that we were 5000 miles away already!

EUROBIKE 09 082

These guys are the reason you stay on site because a two hour commute still half drunk in the morning sucks- Thorben, Christian and Cuz Cuz the only dude I have ever met that can sleep sitting up in any situation.

EUROBIKE 09 113

Tim has a slight touch of  down syndrome but he means well and just sits in the corner quietly when not selling Straitline Components in Germany for SportsNut!

EUROBIKE 09 173

Wine festivals and any form of drinking is highly endorsed over there, old ladies pour you shots of Schnaaps and drink you under the table!

EUROBIKE 09 184

That's actually the Mayor of Saarburger and his son pouring me wine as they rolled by on a tractor!

EUROBIKE 09 102

Dennis insulting another fine distributor of ours! Fritz of Indian Summer does have a pink blackberry cover!

EUROBIKE 09 265

Just my hands, bored on a flight!

EUROBIKE 09 066

This is the point of the night where everyone goes to the washroom and stays as long as possible, bar bills as long as your arm are a sad reality when visiting the Eurobike show.

EUROBIKE 09 275

Just enjoying the luxury toys on a British Airways flight and  checking our airspeed trying to figure out how fast I would be if I ran down the aisle. I can’t sleep on flights and the next shot is of the worlds most annoying guy who sat in front of me.

EUROBIKE 09 294

 

I threw one of his shoes up the aisle out of jealousy of his 3 seat set up and 9 hour nap!

 

EUROBIKE 09 220

Epic little towns with homes older than Canada!

EUROBIKE 09 126

Lets end this on stupid bikes that sadly dominate the scene and make you realize how niche free ride/dh really is.

EUROBIKE 09 042

License plate almost says what I am thinking!

EUROBIKE 09 050

Wait, lets end on a Straitline Silent Guide installed on a Morewood!

Till next year!
