ELBRY SIGNS WITH NEW OUTWEAR SPONSOR..
last week i signed for a new technical outwear clothing brand for 2009, With things changing at o'neal (glove sponsor) and only a small amount of support from Nema it was the right time to get things in order and sort some ubba bubba cool technical outwear threads to ride in this year, I wanted to ride for a brand that was pure mtb and had the right fit as a team and company for my style of riding and would support me well. Im happy to say i have found my new outwear sponsor and we were at SWE today getting some basic shots done and checking the new 4x track work and having a big session in the jump area that turned out to be a lot of fun. off to the beach in the morning wth the wife and our 6 dogs..

Three regional distributor directors will be appointed from March 1st, with each position responsible for leading distributor business across the four brands – Cannondale, GT, Schwinn and Mongoose – in Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. Finally, from April 1st three regional sales co-ordinators will be recruited for supporting business across the four brands and regions as above.President of CSG International, Jeff McGuane, said: “The increasingly competitive nature of global markets today requires that we continuously question our business assumptions and operating models. “We are confident that these changes will fuel significant growth and help us secure clear market leadership in the years ahead.”

intense proto
This is the refined version of the M6 evo we were prototyping last season based on racer input from Matti Lehikoinen & the boys from CRC team.The frame features the G3 adjustable drop out and a new Adjustable headtube with + or - 1 degree. The headtube is very simple & light and uses the same bearing peices as the internal 1 1/8" flush headsets in the rotaiting cups. You can still use a standard with this setup .The frame has the ability to run both the 10.5X 3.5 shock for 9.5" travel and a very m6 type feel or the 9.5X 3" shock for 8.5" travel and a livlier feel while maintaining the same leverage ratio. The mono tubes have been slimmed down and the frame comes in at 9.2 lbs

jeremy lusk needs your help..!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay7XDfLcsLA
watch the vid and then do the right thing..
Jeremy Lusk was transported to Calderon Hospital in San Jose, where he now remains in a medically induced coma, in stable, but very critical condition where doctors are closely monitoring the swelling on his brain.-Post-crash, suspected brain trauma required immediate surgery to treat a subdural hematoma on the brain.-Surgery lasted 4 hours and 30 minutes.-X-rays were done to the neck and spinal column and no breaks are being reported by hospital.-When asked about injuries to other parts of his body, hospital is not reporting other injuries at this time.-Jeremy was attended to by the head of neurological surgery, Dr. Jorge Ramirez.-Doctors report that they will know more Jeremy's future prognosis within the next crucial 36 to 48 hours.
Contact has been made with the Critical Care Trauma Unit at Calderon hospital, where the unit charge tech, confirmed all of the information above
An emergency fund to help defer the costs of Jeremy Lusk's medical care has already been established and is set up to take donations immediately. Through the quick-moving efforts of the Athlete Recovery Fund, those interested in making a donation may do so by visiting www.athleterecoveryfund.com and clicking on the “make a donation” button.
All donations made through this website, starting TODAY, are earmarked directly for Jeremy Lusk's care! Financial arrangements are being put into place to pay for the Medi-Vac international air transportation that Jeremy will need once he is stable and can be transferred to a leading United States-based Head Trauma Center. It is likely that these funds will be needed within the next few days; therefore immediate donations are certainly appreciated

ANOTHER FINE DUMP
This was from last night and its still snowing.. no mtb bike riding today. off to jib some rails on the snowboard
Freestyle BMX to be introduced at London 2012
British Cycling's performance director yesterday told MPs, peers and bike big-wigs that street BMX would be at London Olympics
Dave Brailsford, British Cycling's performance director yesterday told MPs, peers and bike big-wigs that racing BMX would be joined by freestyle BMX at the London Olympics.[Pic shows Lord Berkeley, Dave Brailsford, Shanaze Reade, and Bernard Jenkin]."It's very strongly rumoured that 'park' BMX, or freestyle, will be introduced before the 2012 Olympics," said Brailsford in front of a select audience at a Westminster reception hosted by the All Party Parliamentary Cycling Group. To laughs from the audience, he said: "The information I'm getting is I'll be performance director of street BMX so I will have to go and get my hoodie and baggie shorts."
Brailsford was at the reception with BMX racer Shanaze Reade. His entertaining talk featured an aborted scheme to make Ed Clancy faster (it was all to do with cinching in Clancy's skinsuit at the collarbone) and he revealed the Beijing Olympics skinsuits have all been shredded for protection from industrial espionage. The suits were made in cloak and dagger fashion, with the fabric sourcer and the hand-sewer unaware of each other's indentities.
Brailsford also called for Britain's golden successes in the Beijing velodrome to lead to increased participation in cycling before the London Olympics in 2012. "What British Cycling is trying to do now is to take the same focus and drive as for the Olympic Games, and apply it to the participation drive," he said.Wearing jeans and a British Cycling shirt emblazoned with the Sky TV logo on the collar and arms, he praised the reach of the broadcaster, saying the commercial link-up between Sky and British Cycling was invaluable, especially at targetting children."We are aligned to increase participation through international success," said Brailsford. "It makes no sense my standing here as cycling performance director unless we connect back."The reception in the House of Commons also heard from Kulveer Ranger, Boris Johnson's transport chief, and David Brown, managing director for Surface Transport at Transport for London. They stressed the importance of having a cycling mayor and that they were charged with massively increasing cycling in London before 2012.The goal is to one in 10 commuters to travel by bike in London. Brown said that the velib-style bike hire scheme was currently accepting tenders for the running of the scheme, with 20+ companies putting in bids.

Intense has welcomed me with open arms, and I’m very excited to open up this new chapter in my career.
