Summertime

2008-08-11T19:10:00.002-04:00

Sorry for the lack of posts... Like always a lot has been going on.

We finished up testing on our new Stem and Bars; hopefully, the production run doesn't take too awful long. I think they will be well worth the wait!

I also relocated from Ohio to Phoenix, AZ the move took a lot of time and I still have a garage full of boxes, moving sucks!

Michel has been hurt but just recently got back on the bike and sent us some good old summer Dirt shots.

KHE Mac 2 now on the test sled...

2008-05-16T20:29:00.002-04:00

Has been raining all week but should have a good report back soon... but until then check it.

Mike's quick photo session

2008-05-07T13:08:00.002-04:00

Mike is continuing to shred brakeless, he dropped this little photoset on me. Hope you guys enjoy it.

It's a Toboggan Race (maybe not)

2008-05-02T08:43:00.004-04:00

This picture is from a bit ago but the shooter was slow on delivery.... Would have been sweet to post dueling toboggans a few days ago...

Nonno gets high

2008-04-30T10:39:00.002-04:00

Anyone that has been to Ray's will probably recognize this wall ride and realize how sickingly high Vance is... I did encourage him a little in telling him he had like three more feet to the top of the wall... (as a note that is a full sheet of Plywood standing on end to make-up the wall)

Also is a shot taken from above the Curved wall... How much dust was up there, Scott?

Invert & Stem Proto

2008-04-29T15:10:00.003-04:00

Buzzing your arm on your tire = PRICELESS!!

Knowing what the stem looks like behind the faceplate.. Even more so.

Toboggan

2nd photo from Mike... Classic old school moves never go out of style.

Got word from KHE that 24" production tires are beginning to ship.

Bermslider 101

2008-04-25T08:36:00.002-04:00

Mike sent us some photos but I might spread them out over a couple days... Starting out with my favorite of the bunch... the Bermslider aka 1 footed euro table...

Spring -- Time for New parts...

2008-04-15T08:07:00.005-04:00

It has been a while since my last post; however, spring is upon us. We have actually gotten some street rides in and except for the occasional completely crappy day the weather is starting to really get better.

Alienation released what is bound to be the hot 24" rim for 2008 called the "Runaway". It is light, welded and machined and uses all the latest tech and comes in a bunch of different colors and finishes.

Vance's bike below is sporting their blue version and also is sporting their pivotal style seat and post. Spring is a great time for new parts keep a look out here for some parts we have in the works.

1st Day of Spring

2008-03-20T09:03:00.002-04:00

Well today is the first official day of spring.... we got a fresh new blanket of snow to commemorate it. Good news is we get a nice little shipment in from Alienation shown below is Vance's parts, us older guys keep it simple with boring black parts.
