Clint Reynolds Welcome to Relic

July 11, 2016

Not going to lie, we got real excited hoping for a 3 minute long video from Clint Reynolds when we saw the title, but this shorter clip works, too! It looks like Clint is now doing it for Ashley Charles‘ parts brand, Relic! Hit play to take in a few clips to bring the news packed full of style!

“Personally, I feel that the team riders that make up your brand are at the core of what gives your brand structure and identity. The riders should represent what the brand is about and the products should reflect those riders styles. Our team is small and that is for this exact reason, we are growing slowly and although we started out with a strong sense of what we stand for, Relic’s identity also needs time for itself to flourish. After moving to Austin over a year ago, getting to know Clint and riding with him regularly, it was a no brainer that the master of DIY’s riding and personality fit what Relic is about and vice versa. Welcome to the team mate!” – Ashley Charles

Red Bull – Drew Bezanson: Learning Curve Episode 1

July 11, 2016

We caught the trailer for Drew Bezanson‘s new series from Red Bull called “Learning Curve” which gives us some insight into Drew’s decision to add mountain bikes into his already packed BMX schedule the other day and have been curious what it’s all about since. Today Red Bull released this first episode giving us a little insight into what sparked Drew’s attention with mountain bikes and gets the wheels rolling so to speak. Expect 4 or 5 more episodes to really get into this one. It’s definitely good to see get some insight into this since we’ve seen a number of guys like Drew, Ryan Nyquist and more dabbling in big bikes lately. So expect more soon!

“In episode one of The Learning Curve, we catch up with Drew Bezanson a few months after his release of Uncontainable.
Still riding the high from the success of the film and his own sense of accomplishment, Drew begins looking towards the next challenge – slopestyle mountain biking – and coming to terms with the uphill battle he’ll face if he wants to shred slopestyle with the best of them.
Watch the first episode of The Learning Curve in the player above.”
