Words by Harrison Mendel

This summer I broke my foot in Whistler and was wondering what I was going to do to stay in the biking scene. I was lucky enough not to get a cast, but end up in a "Robo Boot". I decided that if I couldn't ride, I would film. I knew that there was a lot of competitions and big jams coming up that would be great for filming. That's where the idea for Team OK came up, it was kind of a spur of the moment idea and it turned out way bigger than I thought with over 3000 views on the teaser! I couldn't of asked for more.

Inside are pictures and the movie, enjoy!

There's something about putting together a unique custom build that gets the blood flowing, cold and rainy weather be damned! I've spent the last few dark evenings assembling a machine that has got me excited: our custom All-Mountain Monster, built around Specialized's carbon Enduro S-Works frame. With geometry that aggressive riders should love, 6" of travel, and a target weight of under 30 lbs - including the Truvativ Hammerschmidt and remote adjustable height seatpost - is this the one bike to rule them all? Have a look at our preview and weigh in on the S-Works inside and we're looking forward to your opinions after reading the article.

Where do I start? I guess the best place is to start when I was riding an XC bike. Brian inspired me to get on a DH rig. A little bit later we got connected to do a documentary for a high school film project, which won a few awards and an honorable mention from the student Emmy people.

For some reason I only got a B for the video. Anyways...

211,5 km/h (131,42 mph)!? You can achieve that, too. It only takes a MTB, suicidal tendencies, the police to measure your speed, a piece of strong rope and a friend who will tow you across a long enough landing strip. And you also need a bit of luck and fair weather with no rain.

Dec 1, 2009 - by Jason Mraz
FireEye has made a lot of changes this year to the frames and components to create a brand new generation of products. The biggest difference to the frames is the use of a 4130 cromoly hydro-formed downtube. You heard that right, hydro-formed cromoly tubeset. Up until now, almost all hydro-forming has been exclusively with aluminum frames. But this year, FireEye brought that technology to steel and have used it with our Spitfire, Bloodshot, and Shortfuse 380 models.
