DAVE C IS A LUNATIC

Friday, July 31st, 2009

 Our good old boy Dave C just popped in to inform us that he and Chicago Mike are departing tonight on a bike ride all the way to bloody Canberra.These two have been talking about doing this for a couple of weeks now and tonight’s the night.It will be bloody freezing!

 Mike will be riding his super RAD old Schwinn 10 speed beast.Dave on the other hand was originally meant to ride his roadie but it has some reliability issues so the last resort is his old faithful proper proclaimer now fully equipped with seatpost extension and ready to clock some kilometres.Dave you are insane!
 

 Look out kids this is what a crazy person looks like.Best of luck to you two hooligans.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON TRAIL GLORY

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

Managed to get out of work a little early today and beat the setting sun for a ride at some good ol boys rad trails.Karl,Sam,Luke,Jesse and rad pants Evan were cool enough to share their freshly groomed trails with Jason,Joe and myself for the afternoon.It was a little damp but the trails were rollin super smooth,but the best part would have been a the after session hang out on the new super sweet trail benches with the roaring fire going,all we needed was some beer and marshmallow action and it could have been damn near perfect.
Snapped a couple of shots with our shady shop camera,the riding shots are minimal as light was fading and i was way more keen on riding than taking pics.

 Enter Karls land of mysery and wonder

Luke roasting it at speed,this has to be one of the raddest berms of all time

No trails are compete without a sweet barrel fire

Cuz celebrating the glory of real bicycle grips once more gracing his handle bars instead of tennis handle grip

This could almost be an ad for a new line of flannels.

Trails and fire.

Big thanks to Karl,Ev,Jesse,Sam and Luke for being rad dude men and letting us ride,cheers guys.Oh yeah it was good to see Karl and his sweet new custom FBM finally in action,riding action and sweet dance manouver action,Karl is the best.
