This was a good night for the Pinkbike UK Squadron. We headed down to the center of the MTB Universe which is of course Birmingham in the heart of England! The Custard Factory in Digbeth is where it all went off!

Callum Swift had booked up the 100 seater cinema, keeping it very exclusive and almost VIP as the U.K.'s top flight were in attendance. Interesting to see everyone's dress sense, some riders took a second glance to recognize out of their team issue race kit and pit casuals. Out came the tight jeans, winkle picklers and fresh hair cuts sponsored by L'oreal.

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.

Bike movies have always been, to me at least, motivation to achieve something greater each time I grace (or in my case disgrace) the saddle of a bicycle. Films provided not only an outlet for my allowance growing up, but also a visual stimulus that incurred a strong desire to ride. The lines ridden in the aforementioned movies were always fascinating and kept me riveted to the screen, especially during the annual season of bike withdrawal known as winter.

Nov 20, 2009 - by Stephen Matthews
The dramatic loss in elevation from the rocky peaks to the wide-open valley floors is part of what makes Switzerland a mountain biker’s paradise. With Mont Blanc in the distance, and a meadow of purple and pink flowers all around, I took grasp of my handlebars, took grip of my pedals, and dropped in on the perfectly winding singletrack that would drop me over 4,600 feet in a single run.

Big Mountain Bike Adventures had brought me to my own personal paradise.

The C Files: Calgary Cycle Custom Builds- Santa Cruz Blur LTC

The C Files: Calgary Cycle Custom Builds- Santa Cruz Blur LTC
12 Photos
Nov 19, 2009 - by Calgary Cycle
Back in May, Calgary Cycle was one of 5 Santa Cruz dealers in the world to receive the newly re-designed and fully re-dialed 2010 Santa Cruz Blur LT Carbon. This frame, Santa Cruz claims is the strongest frame they’ve ever built with the stiffest chassis they’ve ever built- bar none. The frame and shock come in weighing 1 pound lighter than the previous version (5.6 lbs. to be exact) and the Blur boasts 140mm of travel to boot along with VPP2 suspension. “This bike isn’t some long travel lightweight XC experiment. Think of the Blur LTc as a hairy chested all-mountain ass kicker. In a hockey mask. Holding a chainsaw.” Enough said.

Calgary Cycle was stoked to have one on the shelves… which didn’t last long!

Read on to find out about the lucky rider who laid eyes on it first and built up the ultimate mountain rippin’ machine.

A two-day Okanagan All-mountain extravaganza - A two-part picture story by Margus Riga

For most, the last big ride of the year is a special event and something not to take lightly. The term "It's better to burn out than to fade away" comes to mind. As the conditions are deteriorating fast on the Shore, I thought about other zones that are still happening.

My friend Johnny Smoke had been trying to get me to come up to ride and shoot his local scene in the Okanagan for some time, and I had been working a lot this past summer with Ryan Berrecloth and Knolly Bikes. So when the opportunity came up for me to try out a fresh Knolly Endorphin and shoot some all mountain action, I jumped on it.

Nov 6, 2009 - by Brody Darough
The last ride of the season comes in many shapes and forms. It could be your last ride due to weather conditions. It could be your last ride due to an injury. For some there is no last ride. But regardless of your lifestyle there is always a beginning and end to the season.

James Healey, Terry Hauk and myself ventured into the woods to see if the fall weather could show us what a last ride means.

Home Sweet Home part 2 - The DH Story

Well now that you have seen some of our local XC trails here in Quesnel BC, it is time to get into the nitty gritty of the trails around here. The local DH trails are amazing. The ones that are shown in this article are definitely a couple of my favorite trails. If you like to be challenged to go fast in some tight, technical and extremely rough terrain than these trails are for you. If you like big rock lines than once again this is place for you.
