Straitline Components Adam Brayton starts off DIRT’s/ Finally 2 video teaser with some style.
Right as the beats kick in at the 30 second mark Adam is sending it on his Banshee MK11 Legend then at 1:16 railing some corners.
Check it out.
Adam is also one of the few who ride the World Cup courses on flats and with our pin design we stick like shit anyways.
I saw this link up on Pinkbike Today and we now have a Magazine being produced locally for free.
Check it out, you know you want to live here but can’t find the reason…

This may be the ultimate Raddest magazine to ever hit the print. Who knew turtles could jump like that?
It’s a funny title for this blog because it’s ironic. I support this stuff, great out of the box thinking for a mutually beneficial cause.
We were going to do the same but with a twist. For every pedal you buy we would club a seal up north because everyone likes to club seals and we all know that they migrate south every winter and eat trees. A bit different but with a common goal to save trees.
Spread the word, this is great positive pr.

I got his warranty registration in a email and barfed in my mouth when I looked at the color combo’s but it looks sick when you see it!
Alex decided a gold tooth may be cool but a full Gold Grill is best, go all out with the bling.
What other title could I have used? Its to do with Russia!
Our Russian distributors over at Velomir sent me these cool shots some time back and I remembered to post them.
Vados sent me a shot of his Wife Tania and I must say, she is rocking a serious bike.
It’s always really cool to see your gear thousands of miles away in areas that you so arrogantly assume has okay riding. We Canadians on the West have our blinders on and assume no where else can be liek back home but surprisingly the environments and the alpines can be so similar in Russia to New Zealand.
Vados’s bike rocking some time tested original Straitlines…
James Visser just made the trip up here from San Diego to ride and chill for a week. Due to the steady rain, most spots were far from running, but with a little work we got in a nice session on Hone’s jumps early in the week. The trails were running great despite a few puddles here and there, so we got some runs in out there as well. However, we spent the most time at the step-up, as the sand soaks up most of the rain and it runs great this time of year. Towards the end of the week we got a big sesh going out there, with Greg throwing down some big tricks like a bar to tailwhip and even a double flip! James went for the double flip, and got close, but under rotated on one and landed right on his head. Thankfully he was perfectly fine after a moment of shock, so everyone decided to call it after that. It was a rad week of shredding, enjoy!
James did quite a bit of filming with his GoPro as well, so check out his view of the week in his latest video!
