Straitline’s Doosan Puma Commercial!

Little TV spot we filmed for Doosan with our new Puma. Filmed in house and on Mount Doug with Andrew Mitchell.

Reality Redesigned Gauntlet!

 

Straitline helped design the Reality Redesign contest while filming for our episode on EdgeFactor. Jeremy Bout the producer pitched the idea and then went over board in making the idea come to life.

The gauntlet is where we critique and judge incoming designs, super stoked at the thought put into these designs.

Straitline in financial woes!

 

But good financial woes… owning a new Doosan PUMA MX2100ST 9axis lathe with live tooling blah blah blah… very expensive!

Our Edgefactor show Gnarly Metal didn’t hurt awareness of our abilities so hats off to the crew!

This machine is going to be dedicated to making our AMP stem line along with some fancy other robotic contracts!

As I type this blog, they dropped the machine off the track shaking the facility.. UHOH…that is going to cost someone a hundred grand in repairs… I cannot believe that just happened and for once I am not kidding. I may cry!

Reality Redesigned Contest!

So as many of you know we filmed a TV show around our production facility called Edge Factor Gnarly Metal!

The Edge Factor: Gnarly Metal - Full Episode on pinkbike.com

We filmed it around our new local event called Jumpship, it was a huge undertaking and great success.

Then mid filming of our episode the Producer Jeremy Bout who's brain never shuts off and rivals mine... decided that it wasn’t enough, lets launch a global design challenge and piggy back the shows release! I was already screwed for time and mid season so why not add more to the to do list…

Sicklines tours Devinci and ride our race ring!

 

Good to hear and see a fellow manufacturer capturing their facilities on tape. Why more do not show off their methods is beyond me, it is good to see what you buy being made with such finesse!

The Edge Factor show films Straitline

 

I saw Edge Factors Chilean episode when I walked in on the guys glued to the screen in awe of this new concept tv show. I emailed Jeremy with a joke slid in on how I will kill myself on Youtube if they cover a cheese factory instead of us and I guess it worked because he called the next day.

 

I talk a lot of Sh*t but this is biking and it is fun so we have fun but I’ll shut up and show you the teaser now…

Truly Honoured to be apart of this.

Please watch the Chilean miner rescue, these guys were the unsung hero's of that global rescue we all watched on CNN.
