DIRT magazine Surprise

Our UK distributors Hotlines arranged for a more fun way of introducing new colors into their Market. Bribery!

 

5 sets of custom pedals!

Dirt Crew keeps two sets and win and three lucky readers will fight to the near death for the other three!

Everyone wins, it is more fun, and we feel the love.

Check it out over at the DIRT site here:

And if you get into the habit of going to their site every Friday is Fridays Randoms! This is basically an excuse to scour the net for important and pointless material to keep content running smoothly!

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!

 

TEAM OK - Release Date Teaser

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?

EVOLVE… old school vid with Lenosky!

I admitted a few posts down that we now Tweet and I too can stalk and follow with you guys. And while I was stalking… stumbled onto Evolve on Jeff’s Lenosky’s Twitter account.

 

Jeff Claims this video is what pretty much Started it all for him and it definitely started it for me. I find it a trip that we now work with Lenosky because between him and Leech setting the standards we all went out to try and at least manual like them.

Jeff sent me a shot of Jack his son wearing some fresh threads! My grandma actually knitted Jeff some custom green slippers to match his older pedals and insisted that I get them to him, they are epic in hardwood floored homes!

 

Anyways here is the video that Jeff claims started it all-

Lenosky’s personal edition pedal is soon to drop and if you have yet to see it they are the sexiest pedal we have produced to date!

24 Karat gold pins –plated of course- and matte black body!

Oh and this is a trade secret Lenosky will deny if you even ask him about it!
