Colony recently came across some footage that was shot of Chris Courtenay all the way back in 2011, and somehow got lost in the shuffle. Better late than never, so they tossed them in Adobe Premiere, skipped the music and got these clips to your eyeballs as quickly as they could after discovery. ET nose press to pice 270 around 1:10 is my favorite.

“Filmed with Sebastian Anton by Oliver Michel. Putting the new Eclat ‘Ridgestone’ tires to the test.
–
Tires are tires right? We think not. Long gone are the days when any old tire will do and today more than ever, the rubber that rolls you around needs to be exactly what you desire.
At Eclat we went directly to the team first, we asked them what kind of tire they would like and we worked closely to create ‘The Ridgestone’. Its not just a nice looking tire either, it’s a perfect mix of tread amount, slick and overall thickness. It’ available in two versions — a slick version and a knobbly version for more grip.
It’s ideal for street riding or ramps and tough enough to take the strain these days. Nathan was involved in the early stages of creation and the initial drawings, he bounced ideas back and forth with Shane to think up the name and together with our product designers we ended up with what we think is one of our best and most progressive tires yet.“
Sneak Peek: Cult – Sekt IC Fork
A few weeks back we caught a sneak peek of the new Cult Investment Cast Sekt fork they were working on. Today they released the photo above along with some specs for us. This fork is made from 100% heat-treated 4130 chromoly. It will feature 5mm thick investment cast dropouts with a 28mm offset. They’ve made it so the fork is wider to fit the monster truck tires as well. These will also come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY which I think is a new thing for Cult. These will be out later this fall so start saving!

Deluxe – “Part Deux” – Peynier
Tuesdays have been so much better thanks to Deluxe uploading their “Part Deux” DVD! This week they’ve got the Peynier section featuring the team all putting down some amazing riding at this dialed spot! Absolute MUST SEE. Hit that play button!
“For this part, the team travelled down through France to rendezvous at one of the best spots around, and venue of the annual Kill The Line jam, Peynier Trails. These trails are so local to Max that he can see them from his house – so it made sense to kick off the French Trip there.
Following a big rainstorm, however, the place was flooded – but the team got to work and within a couple hours the place was running fast.
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.
