Montgomery, McCaul, Seminuk on gyro’s!~


So I hear the weather sucks ***** at the Claymore challenge and it may be as late as this Sunday that they can compete, maybe even at night with lights, what ever it takes to beat out this weather.
Good news is they have time to jam in the indoor park and hit the foam pits and resi ramps while they wait it out.
Mike and Cam both have their Straitline Gryros installed and Seminuk just put his on a few days ago so we have 3 top guns helping us refine the system.
Mike Montgomery took a strong second, as well as best trick honors, with this prototype Straitline hydraulic gyro installed on the front of his Banshee. Expect to see a few other riders, including Cam McCaul, Brandon Semenuk and Casey Groves, rocking one of these at some of the upcoming events.
The first proto is great and we will make a secondary proto with apposing technology inside and see which one we wish to refine after the contest season wraps up.
All three (and soon Casey Groves once he gets his forks in) will be our feedback team and hitting all the comps with the Gryo installed, then off to production for the masses.
Check out the VITAL video update and watch the guys spin and flip… if you watch closely, Mike sever a testical on the backflip Superman to semi no footer landing.

Straitlines New Gyro

Super quick Gryo update…

I picked Mike up at the ferries a few months ago when he was up here designing the new Krankworxs course and we had little meeting of the minds.

Its a simple system that allows your bars to spin infinitely reducing the need to elongate the brake cables and to unspin the bars back to zero if in competition.

Over the countless emails and conference calls we produced a perfect Gryo just in time for Mikes and the Jumpship Event.

We also had Cam McCaul help us develop this system and we made it to take a beating and not leak any fluid, with the main goal of having the rider not even know it is on the bike when you pull the brake.

We succeeded and he ran his prototype during the Jumpship event and went through 1 frame and a fork, it’s nice to be sponsored!

So this weekend Cam McCual will be riding in 26 trix in Austria and Brandon Seminuk will compete against cam and Mike at the Claymore Challenge.

Not Much info is released at the moment, we are refining the prototype and working with Frame manufacturers to make the head tubes compliant. Do not expect this to be a pros only product, anyone with a single crown can ride it… no more 6ft of lines, throw on a gyro.
