Splash Down

Are you a maniac?

The 1985 Alenax TRB-5000 is not the name of Soviet rocket more so the name and model of this crazy ass bike. We caught a glimpse of this beast while at the World Cup in New Yawk. Prolly boasting the same technological advances as a Soviet rocket this thing was for sale by someone who made a bad decision long ago. It was in relatively good shape for a bike this old, but when you own something that is a pain in the ass to use it really never gets a chance to wear down. Those are some long crank arms, not wrenches and if you are a lover of the movie Flashdance then you can "I'm a maniac, maniac" your way down your local trails. (funny that Flashdance was released in 83 so it only took the guy 2 years and a bucket load of bad judgment to build the TRB-5000). Rock on playa. More info on this bad invention HERE.

Chris Van Dine Helmet Cam Footage!

You just gotta love Chris Van Dine. His pleasant demeanor and all around positive outlook keeps him in the limelight. Glad to see an East Coast native mixing it up with the other guys. Contour has some videos up of athletes hucking themselves into oblivion, check it out.

Hootin' and hollerin' all the way down.


Whoa man! Almost dropped off that edge!

6 pointer?

Yup. He had better have a good stash of DEER NUTS to get him through this stage.

Blk Mrkt Roam

Check out the info sheet for more details. ROAM!

The future is not here...

Todays concept bike could be tomorrows hunk of shit. Fingers crossed.
The Star Wars looking bike (Helo) looks uncomfortable. The Urban CC just looks like a GT Fury. Imagine tripling the big set with your light on! Design Boom has some images from entries in the 2010 Seoul Cycle Design. Some promising stuff and some horrifying conceptions. Can't help but thinking that a number of these designs come from people who do not avidly ride a bicycle. At least they are trying? Seriously that is a question.

Redbull Rampage is looking crazy!

Redbull Rampage is looking ridiculous this year. Huge gaps and massive speed is going to make this a "fuck-all" kind of event. The pic below shows Logan B. and his 30 brothers dropping the Oakley tiki hut thingy. Tune in this Sunday and watch the event on your computer. sidenote: Redbull is shooting this thing in 3d using that crazy Avatar camera setup. Cha-Ching! Lacondeguy has signed with Mondraker and is riding the stretched out Summum. Chris Van Dine is shralping his lines aboard a new Cannondale rig, it looks to be built off of the Jekyll platform. Hope to see more of this bike that CVD has in the next few days.
