Quicky: Ryan Howard

September 3, 2013

Ryan is one of those guys that I’ve always been a fan of for years. From the first time I saw some of his riding thanks to Bikeguide to his incredible riding that he unleashes these days. It’s awesome seeing him get the attention he definitely deserves. I figured with how busy he has been lately between all of the different projects he is involved with these days, that it would be an awesome time to catch up and find out what’s new. Let’s take a peek at what he had to say!

Deluxe – “Part Deux” La Source

September 3, 2013

Awwww yeah! Tuesday again! That means we’ve got another section from the Deluxe “Part Deux” DVD for your viewing pleasure! This time around the crew made their way to La Source for a good time! Take a look!

“For the next stop on the Deluxe Team’s trip around France’s finest spots, we hit up Pompom’s local trails – La Source. The lines were running fast, the locals were dialled, and the spot lived up to its reputation – La Source is awesome.
For our second full-length film, we decided to mix things around from Welcome To Deluxe. This time out we ventured to some choice spots that our team riders created and nurture on a daily basis – from Southern California to Pennsylvania, from the Midlands of England to Southern France. We also took the team on tour to discover new spots, cook up some lines, throw some shovel-loads, and have a good time. Because that’s what we’re all about… enjoy.

I’ve said this more than once that this is hands down one of the best events of the year. I think this video is proof enough as to why! Enjoy!

Meaning we have to one up the video we just made. Results: Best Trick | Jeremy Ball, High Air | Tyler Valentik, High Air Quarter | Lil Jon, Best Pancake | Teddy Van Orman.

Stranger Announces New Team

September 3, 2013

stranger-press-release

Every now and then, if you pay close attention, you will start seeing riders changing up their sponsors without any sort of hint as to why they left a team or where they might be going. It’s usually an indicator that something is cooking… Over the past few weeks we’ve spotted a few riders changing things up and it looks like we finally have a reason.
This past spring and summer, Stranger appeared to be dead, which technically I think it was until Rich Hirsch was able to revive with with this shock to the heart. Late last night they announced that it’s coming back and have a new team along with some new products coming.
The pro team now consists of Gabe Brooks, Miles Rogoish, Eric Lichtenberger, Caleb Quanbeck, Augie Simoncini and Aaron Brenner.

No other details have been revealed yet, but I’m sure we’ll be getting our first look at the revamped brand at Interbike here in 2 weeks.
