Y.A.N.A. Century Ride 2010

If there was ever a type of charity worth getting behind and supporting, it is surely one that benefits children. One that benefits children in your community is even better, and one that benefits sick children and their families locally is a home run in my books! While helping those abroad is without question needed and admirable, helping those in your community just feels right. To that end Blacks Cycle up in the Comox Valley has been supporting You Are Not Alone (Y.A.N.A.) for the past few years by leveraging their annual Century Ride as a fundraiser for this worthwhile charity.

Aaron LaRocque Goat Style 2010

August 7th, 2010 by admin No comments »

I came across this video in my e-mail in the Banshee Bikes Industry Insider newsletter/blog update. The Banshee Blog page is always a good source for sweet riding video and photos. Aaron LaRocque (of What’s Next fame) has done a number of sweet promo and bike scene videos with and for Banshee, and they are all worth a watch.

Some very impressive jumping and stunting in this video, enjoy!

Earth Ramp Bike Parks

Earth Ramp Bike Parks

I stumbled across the Earth Ramp Bike Parks site on another MTB website just today. It is great to see riders being able to make a living or to suppliment their incomes by doing what they do for their recreation. I once read that when you do what you love for a living, you never have to work another day in your life! I am also stoked to see yet another Dirt Jump and Bike Specific park going up in Vanier Park in Vancouver. The sport is definately becoming more mainstream than it ever has been, and gaining acceptance by the powers that be. I am super happy to see local municipal governments buying into the sport, and supporting this on a large scale. There are tangible benefits to supporting our sport in tourism dollars, more bikes being sold, and all of the bits to support those tourists and new bike not to mention Red Bull sales must be off the hook!

NSMB AIRprentice 2010

July 28th, 2010 by admin No comments »

A bunch of bikes,  a bunch of dudes, a bunch of sweet trails, yes… the 2010 AIRprentice from NSMB!

Again for 2010 it looks like it was a good time was had by all. There was some excellent competition to be had on a great hill (I am told…still have to make it to Silver Star). Congrats goes out to Matt Montandon for winning the top spot, and for either Ian Morrison or Paul Stevens for the second available team spot this year. This is an excellent chance for young up and comers to show their stuff and to get the opportunity to take it to the next level. Thanks NSMB (Cam) and all of the sponsors for putting this on and for backing this sweet competition every year!

For all of the details on the 2010 AIRprentice be sure to check out NSMB.com news page, and to check out the slide shows, check here for part 1 and here for part 2.

BICYCLE DREAMS

directed. by Stephen Auerbach

“They are seekers, madmen, and angels hell-bent on riding across America on a bicycle in less than ten days. Eager to push their bodies to the limit, they set out on a daunting 3000-mile odyssey. But what begins as the adventure of a lifetime is transformed in an instant when tragedy strikes the race. These voyagers discover what is truly at stake as they pedal on, praying for the deliverance only the finish line can bring. By journey’s end, some are saved, others are lost, but all learn that the fuel that takes a soul toward its own true destiny is desire.”
