New year, New goodies

Just received a delivery from the amazing people at Hayes Bicycle Group. I'll be running there products Manitou,Sun Ringle and Hayes brakes. Couldn't be more happy, I have heard a lot of great things about the new Manitou Circus fork and cant wait to ride it and see how it feels. I am also running the Dorado on the Dh bike which looks amazing. For wheels i am running A.D.D lite wheelsets on both my jump bike and DH bike. I tested the Hayes Stroker brakes a month ago and am super stoked to now have a set of my own on both bikes, they feel amazing. I will have a Bike check soon once i've finished chucking all these goodies on the Banshees :)

Mike - COC Head Coach

"How stoked are we? Mike Montgomery is our new head bike coach. Mike got 2nd at Crankworx and invents new tricks like I drink Slurpees." Camp of Champions

Mike with another easy trick, come on who can't do this?

I am pretty stoked, for the riding adventure of a life time check out Camp of Champions website, not only will you get the chance to ride the Legendary Banshee Legend MKII, you will also get a chance to ride with Jack "Fogel" Fogelquist, Alan "no nickname" Hepburn (though we all know that is not true ... right Alan) and of course new head coach Mike "i dream of tricks" Montgomery.

Jack with a heal clicker, I can not do this sitting in a chair.

Good chance I will be hanging out for a good portion of Camp so you will also get a chance to ride ahead of me while I eat your dust or watch you ride away while having the best time of your life.

Alan goes no hands. Alan takes it up and throws it down. Takes a rest and does it all over again.

Keep Riding.

Sponge Bob Riding Kit

Our goal at Banshee is to be ahead of the competition. For the past year we have been developing a new racing/slope style kit with team rider Alan Hepburn.

We are calling it the SB-1 kit and after extensive testing we have determined the following:

- increases awesomeness by 15-20%
- increases of sex appeal by 30-40% (depending on the rider)
- decreases aerodynamics by 5% but somehow has a positive effect on speed, amplitude
- increases judges' results by anywhere from 80 to 95%

... a full list of the benefits will be released soon ...

Right now we can say the new suit works 60% of the time every time. We are finding that results vary with use of bikes that do not say Banshee on them ...

Keep Riding.

Team Building

A few days ago Mike, Alan, and I missioned out to Creston, BC for Goatstyle!  For the Banshee team, we’re all about team building.  Through Pina Colada smoothies for breakfast, breathtaking games of chess, and seeing who could jump over their foot, the team got real close, real fast.

On a serious note, it was an awesome time and everyone threw down!  Mike took home 2nd place with a crazy run, and the Friday Night Lights Jam went off!  Alan landed a dialed corkflip barspin, and I stuck a superman to tailwhip flip!  I got a chance to meet Paul, who was killing it all weekend as well, qualifying and putting together an awesome run!

There’s not too much video and pics up of the contest yet, but I’ll try to post them as I find em.  Mike, Alan, and I got up at 4:30 to meet with Jason Headley, Mike Zinger, and Aaron Larock for a sunrise shoot up on the course, so stay tuned for the result of that!  Here’s a video of Friday Night Lights that Reece put together.  Alan’s cork-bar and my superflipwhip are in there.

Thanks go out to the guys at Geax too, generously helping us all out a lot!
