Home Sweet Home part 2 - The DH Story

Well now that you have seen some of our local XC trails here in Quesnel BC, it is time to get into the nitty gritty of the trails around here. The local DH trails are amazing. The ones that are shown in this article are definitely a couple of my favorite trails. If you like to be challenged to go fast in some tight, technical and extremely rough terrain than these trails are for you. If you like big rock lines than once again this is place for you.

The Hive Chub Hub Review

Source: Reece Wallace

The first time I saw a Chub Hub I was baffled. I had never seen a hub so big! After seeing Andrew Taylor and Phil Sundbaum both shredding on them, I was curious to know more and really stoked when I was given the opportunity to review a set of Chub Hubs. Chub Hubs are designed and manufactured by a group called The Hive. The Hive consists of five main dedicated members whose goal is to improve and innovate cycling technology by means of “innovative technical features [and] superb engineering”.

Congratulations to Lucas Bell of Victoria BC! You've won a one of a kind POC helmet painted by PaintHouse Customs! Lucas's design was super clean, well thought out, and just plain bad ass! Like the helmets design, it contained both strait and curved lines and had a 3D element while maintaining a 2D image.

Transition Bikes TR450 colorways!

Published Oct 28, 2009 at 19:51
Source: Transition Bikes

Here are some samples showing the production TR450 graphics and colors. There is a bit of a moto theme going with the red and yellow designs - a bit of shout out to the moto inspired "450" name. Both the red and the yellow frame graphics are clear coated over for durability and a clean look. The white frame has removable decals, with extras included so riders can really customize their setup. There may be some aftermarket TR450 decal kits sold by 3rd party companies, so the white frame is a great blank canvas.

Frames will begin shipping sometime in December.

PaintHouse Customs Contest - 5 Finalists!

Published Oct 25, 2009 at 6:10
Source: PaintHouse Customs

Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone who entered the contest! After the contest ended last Monday I had received 172 entries, most containing several designs. And after much deliberation amongst my colleagues and peers I was able to narrow that 172 down to my top 5. These 5 designs have great composition, a unique perspective on the idea, and a professional quality that would match the helmet. They are also all completely original artworks.

I had each of the finalists give me the run down on their designs; picking a winner out of these won't be easy...
