Crank Brothers were the official pedal of outdoor demo. Here is a pile of pedals at the Santa Cruz booth awaiting riders.
Soulcraft put out one of the best videos this past year and this sticker may be my favorite in show as well.
Urge is still a new helmet brand, but they are making headway in North America. The Enduro Archi is their latest offering for racers and riders looking for more protection, but while still being able to breath easily.
The Archi Enduro uses the same helmet as the Down O Matic, but the jaw line is cut down for ventilation.
The Veggie Archi Enduro model is produced using "Green" methods and retails for $250, while its lesser "Green" counterparts retail at $180 USD.
This note was originally hanging on the clothes to my left, but I reckon that I needed it more, or at least it was more fitting on me.
SRAM gave parts to various artists to create something unique - this is what they each had to work with.
I can remember the first time I met 5.10 and they were tucked away in a corner behind the BMX section at Interbike. How things have changed. Top riders in all disciplines rely on 5.10 and they are here supporting the sport in a big way.
If you rock flats pedals (and likely 5.10 shoes), then there is a good chance that you've taken some time to check out twenty6's high end pedals. Made in Montana, USA these pedals are the top tier in high end flats.
Pivot is best known for their DW link full suspension bikes, but the new Point is their first foray into the DJ hardtail market and should release later this year.
Royal clothing had a nice and clean booth as well as a really good looking clothing line up on display - things are looking good for 2012 for Royal.
If you won the World Champs this year, then the chances are really good that your bike was on display somewhere at Interbike this week. Danny Hart won the DH and his bike was at SRAM.
World Champion Danny Hart along with the hired help so that you know that he is the man! Congrats Danny!

With that said im stoked to see both Danny and Gwin go head to head next year. The two of them going at it should push the sport to a whole new level.
@hobbnobs: I hope your joking... If your not, you need to rethink your life.
Gwin is an animal...I saw it first hand at Windam when he walked all over Gee and Peat who are both killer riders and both more consistent than Hart.
Gwin dominated this season and obviuosly proved he was a better more consistently fast rider than Hart. Hart proved he was absolutely fearless in the wettest possible scenario.
Having said that Gwin is still an amazing rider and did deserve the wins he got
Just danny Killed it on the day, when it mattered
Both Gwin and Hart are head and shoulders above the other riders right now though, in my opinion. Can't wait to see what happens next year.
Neither of them will be forgotten for a long time, but this is Dannys time in the limelight. Yes Gwin could have challenged Danny for the win, but he made a mistake, so its completely irrelevant. Who are we to take the glory (sorry!) away from Danny for what is probably the best display of downhill racing in history...
People outside our niche world of mountain biking won't understand Gwins achievement, however anyone watching the video of Hart smashing the field by close to 12s can recognise how spectacular it was. Hopefully then, more people will become aware of our sport and the level of skill involved, it certainly worked for MacAskill! There's no need to bring nationality into this, just be happy that two guys have made this season one to remember, next year should be incredible. Hopefully Brosnan will be up there too, that lad is pinned!
And you cant say "Gwin probably would have won if he didn't crash", because he did crash, he didn't hold his own in those conditions, whilst Danny Hart did. Simple as that.

When it comes to old school Dh, what was going to be the direction of the sport a few years back, he need to do some (a tiny bit) work.
Gwin's worst enemy is Gwin, he never seems to exude any passion for the sport.
For all those who think he just started racing last week, he raced as a kid in BMX, then went onto Mx, now he is into Dh.
I hope his rise to success (not fame) opens the minds of more also ran Mx boys to come in and shake up the sport.
You wouldn't wanna say that to an Irish Catholic priest.
nah me either
doesn't look like it gonna offer any more protection in a face plant situation than a non full face, looks like those old slalom helmets when slalom had flags
Having the rainbow jersey is the pinnacle of cycling no matter what discipline. Gwins good but is he really that good, in a year where Minaar wasnt on form, Gee had issues, Sam Hill was injured. Lets all hope everyones fit next year!.....
I need to go for a ride... :/
??
- Gwin wasn't the only guy to crash, he just crashed after the first split, but nearly all the riders crashed at some point too, that's what separated Hart's run into legendary status!
