Hey guys check this out. Looks like the boys in Germany
are putting together an event that's first of it's kind. An abandoned
mine with 250km of passage ways at a depth of 700m. The race course
is a 1.5km track in a 4m by 3m corridor. High speed, total darkness
and increasing temperature with depth set to make this a challenging
race for the Pro riders. All the big names from the DH and DS circuit
are invited. Visit the
Red Bull Race website for all the details, pictures and video.

Finally available in America, coming straight out
of 3 years of developing, testing and riding in France, this revolutionary
frame has been designed by dirt jumpers and street riders seeking
the perfect ride. These bikes are more fun than a BMX and way more
radical than a conventional MTB... Le Toy is the very first bomb
proof modulable MTB frame in the world to allow you to ride both
24" or 26" wheels with either discs or v's, and control the rear
wheel base position from 15,9" to 17,5" to get more power or more
control...And don't forget the BMX BB's for the ultra hard core
rider. Now used by dirt jumpers, street riders, trials riders and
DH riders, this bike has nothing else to prove... and nothing to
envy to others...
Check out the website for
all the hard core gear.

We are also going to run some girl style shirts when we get some
