Shipping soon…
Is our next wave of colours & products. Shown here is our next batch of limited edition colours like Purple & Gold for the alloy parts with Purple & Acid Green for our painted parts.
The Acid Green is a Black with a very strong Metallic Green/Gold pearl through it. It looks amazing when in the sun light. You will be able to our frames, forks, bars & cranks in both the Purple & the Acid Green.
All will be available in about 4 weeks around the world or a little later depending where you live.

Blast from the past…
Had nothing much new to post today so thought I would share this edit taken from the bonus section of our ‘A Month In The Life Of’ DVD from 2007. Some of you may have or may not have seen it but still worth checking out even today. Featuring Liam Fahy-Hampton, Mick Bayzand, Matt King & Kenny Raggett. Enjoy.

Product highlight – Oneway Pegs
Some say imitation is the greatest form of flattery. One thing that cannot be denied is that our Oneway Pegs have their imitators out there in the market place. Since we first bought out the ‘thicker on the bottom & thinner on the top’ design, our pegs have caused more than a few companies to follow suit. Check them out at a store near you now in either 7075 Alloy & 4140 heat treated Crmo. You can click here now for the full details online.

Ryan checks in…
Guettler sent in a couple pics of his ramp with it’s new paint job. The black & red theme looks good for sure. Ryan is also off to Europe soon for the T-Mobile comp in Germany then to Japan & France for some trips, fun times ahead. Ryan also put together a new bike so expect a bike check in the days ahead.

Bayzand injured but OK

Backyard Blitz…
Ryan sent me a quick email with some pics… read on below.
The back yard ramp will never stop growing… I had to cut down a bunch of trees and we built a new box all the way to the fence line. It’s opened up so many new lines in the yard so keep an eye out for some new web videos. In the next few days I’ll be painting the ramp and this weekend I fly to Orlando, FL to judge a Vans Am comp should be fun times. – Ryan.

Jonny Devine checks in…
My main man in the UK, Jonny Devine, sent in an email with some pics of his new bike he just put together & a sweet 180 as well. The weather has been rather cold over there he says but has been making the most if it. In fact, he said it got up to 14 degrees the other day. Just a little bit cooler than the 31 degrees it is here right now. Damn.

Mick Bayzand checks in from Canada
Mick Bayzand sent me an email with some cool pics of some local trails that they had a low key jam at the other day. Looks like one hell of fun place to ride. They had a BBQ there with some smokies as they call them over in Canada. Good times for sure. Mick hurt his knee at the end of the day but hopefully should be OK again soon.

Sorry Haimona…
But I could not resist posting this gem of a pic I found in my files !! The pic must be at least 3-4 years old I think? To those that know Ho out there they will find this funny for sure. Sorry mate !!

Product highlight – Hell Stallion & Forks
Liam Fahy-Hampton is the kind of rider who always surprises me with something different every time I see him ride. He definately looks outside the square & comes up with some really original ideas on & off the bike.
His signature frame & fork were designed with that same principal in mind. His frame is low, super responsive & super tough. His forks are built to withstand the torture that his brand of riding produces on a daily basis.
Check them out at a shop near you now or check our products section here & here for more info.

Black & Yellow Hell Stallion
Here is a sneak peak of a custom Hell Stallion that our guys in France, Unleaded have put together. The combination of Black & Yellow looks the part for sure.
