Dirt Magazine Pedal Give Away!!

Get your But over to DIRT Magazine and try and win one of three custom pairs of pedals we made up for DIRT! But do not enter this competition if being tested makes you panic, they are making you work for these bad boys!

 

“Yeah that’s right. We have three pairs (there are only three pairs of these in this colour in existence), of Gold Straitline Platform pedals with the Dirt logo lazer etched into them. So this is super exclusive. Canadian based Straitline make all their products in–house (even though they don’t like to shout about it), as they say, “we are proud to say we actually make every single piece that goes into our product line, right down to the pins on our pedals.”

Their Platform pedal has been designed with the help of Jeff Lenosky and features the following: Nitrided Cromoly Axles, 14 Hex pins per face, Igus IGLIDE Polymer Bearing System, and all that weighs in at 519g per pair. Add to that their Double Redundant Retention System, which means that your spindle is secure and isn’t going to be coming loose, and they can also be totally stripped down and rebuilt in the time it takes to
make a cup of tea!

They are a great shape and feel spot on…and they’ve got the Dirt logo on them!

Win an exclusive set of Dirt logo'd Straitline Pedals

Who helped design the pedals?

• Jeff Beck
• Jeff Lenosky

Casey Groves Signs with FOX!!

WOW!  

Casey Groves just signed on as a FOX rider for 2010!

Talk about coming a long way, I remember him begging us for a  single lever 4 years ago so that he could ride in a competition at Whistler.

To be honest he was a pain in the ass emailing so much so we sent a lever out and glad we did.

Sponsors to date are:

Straitline Components

RaceFace

Transition

Fox

TSG

Geax

Gravity

and more!

Huge congrats Casey!

“I was just walking out the door yesterday morning and my grandma handed me a package that had come in the mail. I thought to myself, "I didn't order anything......?' I read the writing on the big envelope and became not only breathless but speechless! It was from Fox Racing Shox, they had accepted me to become an athlete of there 2010 Grassroots team! Now you think, Grassroots huh? But NO! This means a ton! Its huge!

The thing that blew my mind was that I had not contacted Fox for a sponsorship. I knew that my manager Tyler Maine of PINKBIKE.COM had done some talking but I had no idea this was going to happen!”

Labor Dispute, full shut down until new years!

It was ending up to be a great end to the year, until this was on my desk this morning… unbelievable!

Against Straitline Components wishes, we are forced by an ever increasing and aggressive labor force to shut down the facility until the new year!

We promise to do our best to avoid any pay increases and get back to offering you some kick as products for 2010!

Whenever a dispute like this comes up out of no where, I need to burn off some steam in the forest to try and make sense of it all!

 

Have a good New Years!

Merry Christmas to all and peace on earth with unicorns flying above!

I suck at being serious or sincere so I hope these videos express our gratitude for all of those who have supported us and to all of you who sadly understand where we come from.

We love having fun and when you are having fun, everything else seems to fall into place. Our new motto is... Never Compromise!

Have a merry Christmas!



Please... a good sense of sick humor is a must for this one.


I hope you have a huge happy heart after this one.


I just found this on youtube and admit I own all of Wham's albums.


This is for us in 2010/11.




Jon is my favorite comedian everand this video is a great parallel view on our sense of humor towards the bike industry...


And please keep in mind that this has taken a lot of courage to show you this.

Tasmania roadtrip 

 Two weeks ago I got on a plane and headed for Tasmania to participate in a couple contests. The first contest was held in a little town called Launceston. It was held on a locals farm with the course being short but sweet. It consisted of a small set up drop to right hand berm/speed jump/ normal jump/ big right hand berm and then into the ramp to dirt trick jump. There was an open class but i wasn't really aloud to compete because the prizes were bike products that i couldn't really use anyway. So that was a bummer but i did get to ride a fair bit and ended up judging the contest. I woke up the next morning with a big picture in the local newspaper tho so that was cool.

The second jam was at the Downhill nationals in Hobart. After a little tweaking with the shovel when we arrived the jumps felt alright, pretty small but good enough to pull out some tricks.

here's a real short edit of me from that jam.

It's good to see a couple of contest popping up here in Australia, there really is never any contest here through out the year. How ever there is a real decent one coming up on January 16-17th during the national DH event here in my home town. Its sponsored by Barspin Imports (dealer of Banshee) which is great, this contest will be great for the Australian scene. Keep in touch for a big right up on that event.

I'd also like to thank my sponsors for helping out too.
