The Legend is built and i rode it.

simple as that.

great work mike and justin

I met Justin at Sea Otter - he is a pretty cool dude and very talented in capturing visuals. He put this piece that premiered on Vital MTB earlier today about Banshee Rider, Mike Montgomery. This guy kills and he does a great job about representing the brand.

Got out on a ride today at Blackrock with my Dad.

Got out on a nice sunny day to ride with my Dad at Blackrock. Dirt was great and the bugs were out. I'll definitely bring my deet with me next time.



on a side note, i found out the Blackrock Flow Cup is in 15 DAYS.. I'm hoping to have the rest of my bike here so i can ride the Legend in it.

speaking of the Legend .. i've been wanting to wait until it was fully built to put it on the blog, but it looks too good not to share.

The icing on the cake today though was dad brought down my Raceface Atlas FR cranks that were sent down from Canada last week. Not only are they rad but they came with a pint glass... i totally didn't expect that.

More to come...

Man these are wide bars.

Yes they are. . . . pink too.


Julian from Race Face hooked me up with the pink bars for my Legend build.



Originally i had decided on the red ones, then I thought i'd go with black. The problem with black is... I already have black for my Wildcard. Well i dropped into the Race Face tent and was super stoked on the pink bars for sure.



Heres Julian talking about all the goods.

Back from Sea Otter

Great trip down to California for Sea Otter. It started off with an early flight out to San Jose where i picked up a classic American-Made Ford Focus. Drove down to Monterey from there and met Rob, Dalen, Keith from Banshee and the rest of the folks for a few days of fun. We went to the Follow Me premier, hung out with a lot of industry players, went to the Race Face & Pinkbike dinner (tons of fun) and spent some time on the beach. I went to a couple races too. Here are a few pictures from the festivities.

Tada

Timberline Bike Park, awesome.

Yes - Timberline figured it out and decided to put a bike park on the hill! They decided to do it right too by hiring gravity logic and getting the local riding community input. I'm really stoked to see what comes of it.

Trails are supposed to start opening for the Summer of 2011.

Banshee/Mythic welcomes Adam Brayton

Adam is a pinner, stoked to have him on the team.
