On the Horizon: Failure Bikes

October 20, 2009

I always laugh when I think about FailureFailure as a business name. Imagine going to a bank and explaining to them that you need a loan for your business that is named Failure, with a slogan of “Success is not an option”, they had to think Matt was crazy. Then again, that beard probably was all they needed to approve him to start his company. Either way, Failure has been around for a few years and I wanted to know a bit more. Check out what Matt had to say and then leave some love in the comments…

Daily Rotter

October 20, 2009

I’ve got an interview over on The Daily Rotter. If you are curious about me, what I do, why I do it, how much I love when people send me hate mail, and want to see some photos of me sucking up on my bike, hit that link!

Let’s Get Mystical Review

October 15, 2009

Letting my friend borrow Let’s Get Mystical while I was at Interbike was a bad idea. I got it back yesterday, finally. I threw together a review from it, but since I’m basically the last person to do it… I don’t quite know how many people will care to read it. If you are interested in what I think check it out on the Dig website. It’s fairly brief, but I think I get my point across.

Expect more updates soon! Oh, and if you want to see somebody interviewed just leave the name in the comments.

Kareem Williams Interview

October 5, 2009

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Kareem in Las Vegas during Interbike. I had been with Jake Seeley and Eric Lichtenberger hitting up penny slots and he was with us. Over the course of the few days I had been around him quite a bit. He is a real goofy dude, with a good attitude. However, I really didn’t get to know him all that well. I figured shooting him some questions might help fill in the blanks. Check out what Kareem has to say, then leave him some love in the comments!

Name: Kareem Jamal Williams

E-Mail Update

October 3, 2009

Due to the incredible amount of spam email I’ve been receiving on my current account. (Were talking about 69 spam emails for every 1 real email. Multiply that by about 8-10 real emails a day…) I’ve been forced to make the change. I will be doing a mass email to everyone in my address book. I figure I don’t have everyones email that sends me videos and what not for posts on Dig‘s daily news and everything.

You can now reach me at KurtHohberger at Gmail.com (Didn’t want to link it for the sake of spybots or whatever that can take links and add them to mailing lists…). So please, feel free to send me links to videos, news, flyers, questions, or just emails to shoot the shit (I do enjoy those!).

You can also reach me on twitter – @KurtHohberger which I check a few times a day…

Sorry for the inconvenience. I figure this should at least save me 10-15 minutes a day making sure I don’t accidently mark an important email as a phishing scam (Sorry Ryan!). Thanks everyone!

S&M/Fit/Shadow Rail Jam Scraps

September 27, 2009

I guess people were a fan of the rail jam photos that I posted up on Dig (which if you haven’t seen, you should probably check out right now). I figured I would post up a few more on here that I didn’t post there. Thanks to S&M, Fit, and Shadow Conspiracy for making the jam happen. Check out the photos after the jump…

Interbike 2009: Tree/Blackout

September 26, 2009

Ah, the last of my product photos. I’m positive I missed a few places… but I guess that will happen no matter how hard I try to cover everything. Then again I think I was the only guy who was doing that much product by myself right? Vital, Ride, and everyone else had at least two people to get everything. I win.
Okay, Tree was quick stop. I noticed a couple new goodies though.

Interbike 2009: UGP

September 26, 2009

UGP has a lot of brands under its name that they distribute. With that being said, here are a few of the UGP seats, shirts, and grips, Illegal frame and parts, Native, and another german company I can’t remember the name of…
