Jacob Hyde aka Cob - Bike Check

Nov 26, 2009 - by Jordan Holmes

No Dig, No Ride is a term taken seriously in the Aptos area. Simply put if you don't want to put in the time to build, don't bother coming to ride. Jacob Hyde's house is a perfect example of this term. Regardless of if you're showing up to ride, chill, film, or take photos you are expected to pickup a shovel when shovel time is present. This method assures that no riders are riding, when it is time to be digging, and vice versa. Everyone digs, regardless of stature, or riding skill.

Cob had a dialed back yard, and a dialed bike. Here's some information on his rig...

Sunline Half Waffle Grips.

Now Sunline say that the diamond/knurled pattern is for your palm. Personally I twist the raised waffle part to locate directly under my knuckles. This ensures maximum grip, especially in the wet and muddy conditions we are now surrounded by and makes for a softer ride.

The best winter grip ever? You decide...

AGM Presents: A movie about travelling, riding and good times

Nov 25, 2009 - by Hannu Katajamäki

What to do when you have a tight group of friends/riders that eat, sleep and breath freeride, and the riding season is only a few months long? Simple: You make sure that you have as much fun as possible during the season, and make sure the lifestyle continues during the off-season as well.

Some define freeriding as a sub-category of biking. We have our own funky crew of around 10 passionate riders that instead define it as a lifestyle. It's all the new people you meet. It's all the new and exciting places you get to see. It's about the road-trips you make. It's about the nature you get to explore. It's about the rush you get when you take your bike down a trail or to a local spot. It's about the cinematography. It's about the photography. All this. Combined.

An EZO day out to The LG London Freeze Snowboard and music festival featuring the Animal bike show with Sam Pilgrim and Martyn Ashton.

I’ve never seen a mint Aero eaten like a Mars bar – one of the very many things I visually encountered in a recent EZO day out to London Freeze snowboard and music festival. Tom, Scott and myself departed the sunshine coast around 9:30AM. I was already soaking wet due to some misplaced footsteps in my run through the puddle maze in the station car park.

One Wheel - Kootenay Style

Nov 24, 2009 - by Tyler Maine

I've been talking to young Mike Parenteau over the course of this past season as he continually tries to convince me how rad riding on one wheel is (and I'm not talking wheelies here). When I think about Unicycles, I think circus acts and "that kid" that seems to be in every town who can actually ride one. By ride one, I mean on the street, not in a technical manner. Mike and his good buddy Kenny Banks have proven this stereo type that I've got in my head wrong as they and their good filming friend Dan Poirier continue to release web edits of them riding really technically demanding features.

Inside is Mike and Dan's story along with web edits of the one wheelers in action,
