PaintHouse Customs Contest - Winner!

Published Oct 30, 2009 at 17:14
Source: PaintHouse Customs

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.

In a tireless effort to perfect chain retention systems across the board e*thirteen components has once again raised the standard by which all other chainguides are judged. As the industry leader in chain retention, e*thirteen realizes the importance of making advanced technologies more accessible to budget conscious riders and racers. We believe that a recessed world economy should not be a barrier to enjoying the sports of downhill riding and racing (or even freechucking), and we're proving it!

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...

Ryan Berrecloth and Baxter Redfern recently teamed up with Magura and Knolly bikes to put together this quick web short about the superior stopping power of Magura brakes. If you take a look at some of the riding in this video the proof is obviously in the pudding. Filmed in locations like Mt.Seymour, Victoria and the BC interior Ryan puts these brakes to the test every time he goes out to ride!

Unwind in Moab! Part 2

Published Oct 21, 2009 at 16:50
Wow the first two days were great and to think Pete says that day 3 will blow all our minds and expectations of Moab. Looking forward to hitting the trails, but scared about doubling our distance intake of the past 2 days. We also ran into 6 other Canadians that are going to join us for the Whole Enchilada and who knew that one was even Ryan Leech's brother in law - small world!

Tons of pics, an HD movie, quick clips and a few words inside!

Race Face Piper Jacket Review

Published Oct 20, 2009 at 16:29
Source: elise

Now, initially I felt this little jacket was too light and flimsy to be considered part of a Fall-Winter collection. Who did this featherweight think it was trying to compete outside its weight class?

Unwind in Moab!

Published Oct 20, 2009 at 9:27
Last month after Interbike I was fortunate enough to join 4 friends on my first ever trip to Moab, Utah. I was scared because I had heard about how much this crew likes to pedal and rip trails as opposed to sit pool side and take in the sun! Ok so Darcy was the one talking pool time, I just really wanted to put my feet up after Interbike. Thankfully Pete would have none of that and got us on the trails ASAP!
