NATURAL PERFORMANCE ENHANCER

From the people that gave us the much loved CLIF BAR and SHOTS comes the new CLIF SHOT BLOKS. This 95% organic energy shot works so well for mtb rider, Simply take 3/6 bloks per hour with a little drop of water to keep you topped up on your ride, Works a lot quicker and better than energy drinks such as redbull,monster or rockstar. Comes in a simple pack what would be cool if it could be resealed.. other than that it rocks, put the little bag in your camelbak pocket or stash them in a pocket and enjoy your rides even more. 2 thumbs up,

To find a dealer see 2pure here in the UK.

RIP Park trails

Vandal destruction tour 5 years ago ended at the park trails. This photo was also used as a poster for 24-seven bikes..

it looks like park trails are gone for good, The small trail spot in barnstaple has been a key riding area for the north devon local bmx and mtb riders over the last 10 years, but it seems that this time the land owners having no more trails built on its land..

samoon

this is my Samoon 24, thanks to the crap summer, this bike has had almost no action, still if we have a small window of good weather im going to be at the trails getting some more time in on it. its also the bike i do my intervals on. rides so well and its so light and easy to whip, So much so i got throught the trails at stoke woods on my first roll through :)

sanko butted and heated tubes, low slung and a slammed rear wheel (shorter stays than a black market, less weight as well) means this thing rules.

Check the frame spec and colour options by going to http://www.riderruncompany.co.uk/

look for one in MBUK very soon.

mini bikes, 69's and hucking...

Monday night i went to Rotor, the well known huck spot that still after years of being posted on the net im the only rider to send all the drops, i have not been hucking in about 18months and i was feeling it as i rolled in, But it all came good, I hit all the drops and even did the hip drop what i have only ever done with people about incase it all goes wrong as its a tech drop, So im feeling good and im riding well and i can not wait to get this MBUK shoot done, i may go back for another session later in the week if the weather holds as the landing was real soft on the main huck and i was only landing about 25ft and you can go a little further to 30 when the landings dry. I have to say i was shocked at how well the ATA air 66 forks worked on the pusher, In the past we have run fat 24" tyres/wheels and big forks for the drops and here i was on a mid stroke bike with air forks and 26 by 2.5 tyres and landing it smooth. Props to the bike and parts i now ride and my sponsors : The, Kbc, Marzocchi, windwave, Fro etc..

69's all built and riding well, the shock and 888 forks are tuned and feeling butter soft with no harsh bottoming,

check the latest shocks and forks at http://www.windwave.co.uk/

Over the weekend i thought i would get my Thumpstar pro looking fresh and ready for some action over the coming months, I plan on putting in some more mini bike time over the winter as i feel it helps my MTB riding.
