Casey Groves and his Virginity!

 

The Pinkbike Crew popped up a touching Casey story where he defends his Virginity

Casey is at the Rampage raking and building as we speak and is pumped on life. He emailed me on FB and told me how awesome he is -

“Yeah that's why I haven't emailed you haha you've been gonzo for a month. I got an invite a week after crankworx. Pretty stoked. I'm running Ti Grey Pedals and a 50mm pinch clamp stem in black. My bike is P.I.M.P.!
Its a Redbull event so they don't have you fill out forms for sponsors listings and stuff. Ridiculous I know!
I have been stepping up to the plate in slopestyle events all year around dude. I'm 8th in the world right now on FMBA and I came podium in every event but Goatstyle, which isn't major.”

Straitline punks an Italian Armani show in Milan!

I know go figure… but Italians Trails super star Vittorio Brumotti did the men's fashion week in Milan Italy on our very Couture blue Platforms.

Vittorio opened the show in Milan, cool to see bikes getting more and more into the main stream but this is definitely an odd pairing.

 

Check it out, and watch the videos at the bottom.

 

 

 

I think this shot is from the Rome film Festival on the red Carpet

The shows opening.

 

This is prior to being on our gear but it has cool shots and porno music.

Ryan Berrecloth on Pedals!

Ryan showed us his video he made with Baxter of Fernwood Media while we were down in Vegas and this is the end result!

 

 

Ryan is rocking a set of our red Straitline Pedals in the video, a much needed tool if you have ever dropped into a long gnarly interior line like that!  Everything looks mellow on film until you sit on top of the chute, this is when grippy wide platforms are heaven sent as you hold on!

 

Enough about Ryan, me time. Here is a retro shot of me dropping into a line near my hometown of Summerland B.C.! I shot it on Video and you swear that a kid could do it on a Trike. Nothing beats your own eyes to appreciate a line and that line Ryan attempts on Helmet camera is fricken gnarly fast!

This was my playground for the fall, then I’d migrate to Victoria first snowfall to ride street.

And big, huge thanks to Baxter for hooking me up with my product shots that I desperately needed to meet catalogue deadlines.

Baxter shows up, sets up, shoots leaves and I tell everyone that I did it after hours!

Bling Bling!
