Ryan Leech Manifesto

Ryan doesn’t ride for us we just like him a lot!

If you have never met him… for $50 bucks I’ll send you his address and phone number and you can find out for yourself how mellow and easy going he is. Part Joking… part not joking, I need $50 bucks!

 

Ryan threw me this video while I was at Eurobike in 07 all alone… and this opening scene got me so stoked. I was in a cafe in Friedrichafen glued to the laptop hitting rewind to watch it over and over again, the guy can ride a bike!

Manifesto!

If guys like Leech and Lenosky never progressed the sport to this level do you think we would be seeing a talent like Danny Macaskill exploding out into the scene like he has?

Kyle Marshall cyclist of the year award!

Congratulations to Kyle, he just landed Cyclist of the Year on top of taking the  Junior National Championships for Canada!

He’s Kind of a big deal, check it out!

Junior Expert National Champion Kyle Marshall had this to say about his award: "Receiving this award came as a bit of a shock to me but I am very excited I got the "nod." I am really looking forward to building on my season from last year and making steps to becoming the top junior in the world next year!"

 

Here is Kyle, I think in Monte Saint Anne, this summer showing off-

Kelowna Bike Park

Yesterday I went over to our new yet unfinished bike park to ride for a little bit and shoot with my friend Mike Kirk. Here are some shots.......

Eurobike leftovers

The Yankees South of us just finished Thanksgiving  yesterday and this video kind of ties into food with friends and our many brother’s from other Mothers over in Germany!

 

After the long day at the Tradeshow at Eurobike we all hit the Fish Bar and have drinks … many drinks.

 

 

Morewood Rider Cous Cous is a master of the Deep Sleep. Here he is giving all of us a demonstration of how to  save your energy for Race day, only awaking to eat!

 

Doesn’t matter when or where… Cous Cous knows what's important!

Now here is Cous Cous again demonstrating his Jury Duty stance, this guy is full pro!

 

When we do our Show we hang with a pretty cool group of people in basically a massive party tent where the brands are peppered all around, free beer and tunes!  SportsNut puts it on and all the brands gather once a year and Binge Drinking is fully endorsed and embraced.

Here’s to Europe!

Casey Groves POD #235

Casey Groves took POD again today on Pinkbike!

I guess it is a dump 360 or a pre WTF Bail, regardless Casey always has style in doing it.


Watch this vid to the Never seen before segment 3/4 the way through. Casey takes you for a spin with a helmet cam!


Then this one has some more random footage of Casey with friends on some jumps they built with Dustin Greenall in The Okanogan.

Seat Collars Ahoy!

So… first off a slight diss to the industry! WTF is up with all the collar sizes? Can’t we all get along and bring it down to two? Took us some time to figure out what to focus on but we are offering 4 sizes: 28.6/30.0/31.8/34.9 their weights are from 20 grams to 21.3grams. Then when we get time - soon… our seat post will arrive and your bike will thank you.

 

The seat collars utilize Straitline Components patent pending design where you turn a bolt and tighten it onto the frame holding the seat. Actually we did trick it out a bit and use a custom barrel nut and they look really sick for such a simple product.

Once you buy the collar the need to match up kicks in and you start thinking of Straitline before food.

Now you have to tie it all in with some sick pedals then get bored of that color and repeat the process all over again!

This we cannot help you with but if you play your cards right, who knows.

Anyone ever play on Bing? I just found a blog feature for maps and I found my Van but it wasn’t there earlier today when I was looking at our warehouse! I wonder how close they can really zoom in?
