Kenny Belaey Show with Lenosky!

Cool video showcasing trials and the migration to Rays Indoor park where Dave Mirra, Lenosky, Chase and Hans Rey talk about Trails and the roots of all our riding style!

 

Kenny Belaey Show Episode 2 (part 1 of 2) from Luke Rainbird on Vimeo.

Did anyone besides me notice that Jeff totally let a nasty word out at 10.23? Right after he gets praised for being a major influence by Mike Stedley, Jeff just lets loose a nasty?

Lenosky also has his custom pedals ready to rock, matte black finish topped with custom real 24 karat gold plated pins!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Only one in North America is on Jeffs bike right now, the packaging has been the hold up so thanks for the patience!

 

Here is a vid I just found of Sorge and Lenosky doing a demo, it is cool to see amateur footage some times.

King of the Animal House Finals Video from Ryan Fudger on Vimeo.

 

Straitline Factory Rider Dustin Greenall up on Pinkbike today with another POD!

See this is why you match the carpets with the drapes folks. Dustin is rocking  our platforms and the 35mm SSC pinch clamp stem all in red. And when he opens his mouth like that it really ties in his look and we all know style is everything right!

If you haven’t seen Dustin’s Seggy yet in Aaronn Laroques film What’s Next check it out here! Casey Groves shares the segment with him.

If Stevie can do why can’t I?

Eric has out ridden me ever since we met ten years ago in Tofino. He would take me on his local trails in Ucluelet that I’d rather walk because there is no trail - just gaps and blind drops.

“Stevie did it why can’t I” was Erics reasoning when he hit the 30ft gap at Mount Prevost with Steve Smith this Saturday. Steve cleaned it but poor Eric Failed miserably and is now accepting any xmas gifts early!

This is a great time to call out the reality of this sport…Inherent risk!  Everything breaks, material has fatigue points and breaking stuff is actually fun and the name of the game. The Cove Shocker Frame and Straitline parts are fine but the rim and headset got devoured from the impact.

Micro parts! And a MTBcut happy ending!

Geek alert!!

Grab your Archie Comic and run away if you don’t like viewing anything tech related!

We just bought a fancy microscope to aid us in machining some complex parts for a client. It is like being a kid all over again putting everything within sight under the lens, a spec of dirt on the floor now becomes a mystical journey!

I used a paper clip for size reference, and paired the shots from above then closer up.

If I wasn’t known for talking out of my ass so much I would try to pass this next one off as my last vacation snorkeling but it is just a piece of material I found on the floor. It looks like it’s a glob of nickel.

MTBCUT SAMPLE2 028

In a few weeks we should have it hooked up to a TV so we can show items a bit better and more clear, the camera lens doesn’t like peering down the scope.

And again I am the worst guy ever to talk tech, so this video is very light and i bet 80 percent all wrong in everyway anyways!

 

Now lets un-dorkify and watch Stu over at MTBcut.tv hang out by himself with a camera!

Morewood Makula with Simon Garstin!

I have heard that Simon is a Redneck and all but was clear cutting and burning the hills side called for?
You may notice one berm is made entirely out of owl carcasses and their babies!

Nah, Welcome to Beautiful British Columbia. The clear cuts just never make it into the tourism pamphlets. I have no clue why, they make for rad trail building and our owls stack better too!


Simons Bike is a pimped out rig, I9 wheels, Elka suspension and Straitline boxxers and pedals!

Best video on earth!

Big claim I know but you be the judge!

It is one step above this cinematic wonder and that is also a heavy claim!

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?
