Revolution - A new shirt from Pinkbike.com

Last editted Jul 22, 2009 at 10:44
I'm sure most of you have seen those images, showing the step by step progression from ape to man. Believe it or not, but that could very well be true, as we do share a lot of things, and a lot of ties have been made. Progression is the refinement, and advancement of a specific item. It could be the progression from the pitch fork, to the table fork, or the bucket to the spoon, progression is the slow process of developing something. In our situation, that something is the mountain bike, and the sport.

Last editted Jul 21, 2009 at 17:23
We recently got the inside word that JBL was doing a custom stereo install for one of their Premier riders, Brandon Semenuk. Brandon has been killing it lately with 2 back to back wins. Brandon has shown a lot of companies and watchful eyes that with enough drive, and determination you can achieve whatever you want. A few years ago Brandon was just another rider coming out of the woodwork of Whistler, now he's the biggest name in Slopestyle.

Brandon recently showed us his Slopestyle bike for 2009, oh and his sick car!

2010 Norco Shore 2

Last editted Jul 21, 2009 at 13:42
The Shore series is a flagship amongst the Norco bike line and has been serving riders for the better part of a decade. Based in the North Shore region of the world, where a lot of the aggressive, and abusive riding has been fathered, Norco has been doing research and development not only on the Shore terrain, but on the Shore as a bike that can tackle it all.

The Shore has gone through a number of phases, from a burly downhill bike designed for the most abusive, and technical trails this side of the water, to an All Mountain orientated "Shore" bike, designed for total domination on that terrain.

Norco has recently made some changes to the Shore, read here more...

2010 Norco Womens bikes - freeride and all mountain.

Last editted Jul 17, 2009 at 14:36
Not to many companies have a separate line up of bikes specifically designed and spec'd for women, however, Norco has stepped into the realm of women specific bikes. This means not only are the components well thought out for a female rider, we're talking custom colors, geometries, and features that make the Vixa Freeride bike and the Phena All Mountain bike some very unique bikes.

2010 Norco Bikes Launch - Shore Riding

Last editted Jul 15, 2009 at 0:31
Day 2 at the 2010 Norco Product launch was day 1 of riding bikes. Around noon, after everyone had stuffed their faces with lunch, and learned all about the new 2010 bikes from Norco we headed over to Mount Seymour to shred some core trails. Some of the riders in our group had never been on what was known as the North Shore, so Norco escorted us on some more of the tame trails. Here's some photos, and a video on the ride.

POC Cortex DH Helmet - Double layer protection.

Last editted Jun 23, 2009 at 13:16
POC, a Sweden based, and previously snow only protection company, has recently launched their biking protection line up. POC has one initiative and one initiative only, to make the safest protection for the body, period. In fact when you open their catalogs the first pages don't reveal the latest picture of Pros on their product, it's a list of the Neuroscientists and Spinal Specialists they work with to develop their products to the highest safety standards. We have tested a few of the POC products, but the most notable, and well designed items we have tested to date has to be the Cortex DH helmet. The Cortex DH helmet is probably one of the most ventilated, and still well thought out helmets we have come across in our travels, and we're here to explain some of the technologies that make the Cortex DH helmet what it is.

Yeti 303R DH - Linear Rail Technology!

Last editted Jun 22, 2009 at 13:24
Most people would use the reference "tribe" to describe a civilization hiding deep in the South African jungle, that only feed off of fire ants and boiled frogs. However, there is one company inside the cycling industry that refers to their customer basis as the Tribe. They come from all walks of life - racers, artists, hippies, adventure junkies, beer swillers, priests, lawyers, construction workers, shamans, cops, robbers, and buddhists. If you, or your friends own a Yeti, then you're part of the tribe.

Yeti has a specific patent for their own bikes that utilizes rail technology to control shock rates, and wheel paths. The 303 and 303R-DH are the two bikes that share this technology.
