When you think of the Dew Tour or the X-Games, I’m sure there’s a few names you always expect to see in the contest. However, from time to time there will be a wildcard thrown in that will surprise you. This past weekend, Garret Hoogerhyde found himself in the Dew Tour. Check out the run he put down that Sean Parker filmed.

Tree Bicycle Co. – STL. to NY Edit
It looks like the Tree Bicycle Co. crew had a damn good time on this trip! Check it!
“At the end of August we brought Alex, Scootie, Timmy, and Bobbie to our home base here in ST.Louis, Mo to explore the area and visit some local shops. We sampled the streets, swimming holes and visited The Cyclery, Holdfast Bikes, Plan Nine, and Ramp riders before heading off to meet up with Clint and Brian in Vestal, NY and cruising up to Rochester to explore some more. We found good people, good food, waterfalls, and good spots the whole way.

Sneak Peek: Eclat – Strain Fork

We gave you a look at the first prototype of this fork during Interbike, but it looks like things are looking good for the Strain fork from Eclat since they wouldn’t be trying to get people excited for nothing. This one-piece fork is hydroformed which creates a stronger fork since there are fewer welds involved in the creation of it. They legs and dropouts are one piece for a smooth look and no welds which greatly reduces the chance of cracking in that area. I’d imagine they are still a little ways out with this one, but you can check out a few more photos close up shots of the fork right here until then.
