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.

It all starts with a dream kids!
Mike Montgomery couldn’t wait for Xzibit to arrive so he went and pimped out his truck with his sponsors logos like a good pro athlete!
Drool over these.
On Friday the 23rd, Keegan, Ray, JR, and I caravanned down south to Woodward for Super Sessions! The whole weekend was nothing but good times, shredding with all the guys that we don't normally get to ride with. They put a lot of work into getting the dirt jumps running, and despite the strong winds, we had a solid sesh. The wind finally got too strong, and didn't seem to let up for the big step-up session. It was fun nonetheless and some good crashes were had, thankfully with no big injuries! Exhausted, everyone cruised home the next morning, most paying a visit or two to good 'ol In N Out Burger!
Straitline has been scheming on this with the Edgefactor crew since we filmed our Gnarly Metal Episode last summer!
Now look at the designs that rolled in from all over North America, of course these were screened to save your time and represent the best submissions.
Go vote on what you like the best!

With a stormy week, Ray, Keegan, and I decided to cruise out to Morgan Hill to check out our buddy JR's new spot. We didn't know what to expect, but were blown away when we pulled up! There are a few sweet lines, a mulch jump, and a foam pit! It was good times all round, putting some lines together on the main set and having a big session on the mulch! Everyone ended up landing something new, and we ended the day with some awesome bbq at Trail Dust.
Enjoy!
I got my short-travel all built up, and what better way to break it in than some trail rips with the homies! Keegan, Luke, and I got out for a few days, getting stoked on the wet dirt. We decided to mix it up a bit with some trails that we hadn't ridden in years, along with some of our favorites.
Enjoy!
Just a cool recap of Straitline’s Andi Wittmann shredding the course with Sorge in the Alps.
Someone nagged me for that ages ago.. to let it be known what the athletes ride from us: Andi rocks our Silent Guide for all the keeners out there.
I truly was stoked when Tippie asked to run our DeFacto pedals, the man is a legend in biking. He earned more respect from me when we were in Monterey California a few years back and he admitted all of his party sins and why he vanished.
But Now he’s back full force like he never even left.
Watch this honest interview hosted by our very own Ryan Berrecloth, cool to see two of your riders making shit happen on their own.
