Just a little update!

Apr 24, 2009 in News

So it’s been a while since we posted some new content. Since the last post, both myself and Kit have bought new hardtails….I needed one WAY more than he did- I was still rockin’ the 5+ year old clapped out STP. I was waiting on Intense to produce the Tazer HT (yeah like that’s happening) and started lusting after the Santa Cruz Jackal after we received our first one for stock here at Competitive Cyclist.com. Also since the last post- we’ve converted Greg to the Darkside- his 20″ is on eBay now and he has Kit’s old (but new at the same time) Transition Bank. Chris bought a broom for the dirt jumps and I used it yesterday to clean up the pumptrack, Jake has ridden pretty regularly at the jumps and pulled a super sick 360 on the super booter. Ryan is still knee deep in construction on his house, and T-Bird has a pretty slick STP now and also landed a backflip on a box jump a couple weeks back. Life’s good what else can you say!?! More later-

So the jumps are still there- although they are still probably pretty beat down from the rain. Yesterday’s post was totally an April Fools joke.

I still need to post up more about this Konig- but in short let me just say that this thing manuals with ease, bunnyhops well, and on our last Urban ride last week that ended up being just me and Chris- the bike had me feeling GREAT!!! I honestly can’t remember the last time I had such an awesome ride- everything was working good and it felt as though the bike and I were one.
Here are couple teaser shots for now- I bought the frame from Doug….yes I like it so much that I had to buy it. I installed a new bar and it’s currently set up single speed- the bike is a blast.

More to come- I promise….I’m about to have much more free time so a complete tear down of the pivot system is in order- stay tuned.

Well boys me and Kit rolled out to the park last night to get in a few jumps before sundown and to show him the trail work we did this weekend. Apparently since we didn’t finish the “Pro Line” as expected IMBA and Ben Blitch had to come level our entire jump park. Needless to say we were f-ing PISSED!!! Sorry to everyone that helped- all of our hard work is gone and been reduced to shapeless dirt now which will soon be totally leveled. It’s about time we try and find another spot to build…..any ideas fellas? Look at the grin on Ben’s face…….WTF!
