Rose sprung up in 1903 and, having been around for more than 100 years, you could call them the granddaddy of bike shops.

This year Rose has been putting down roots in the UK, and are fully committed to supporting UK riders – unless they start beating the German ones, that is! Jokes aside, check out Charlie Watts – Rose's new dirt rider – a young legend in the making, plus Katy Curd – one of the UK’s downhill superstars, who’s ready to take on the world now that she’s full time!

Pinkbike.com has deemed Steve Lloyd of Salt Lake City, Utah the winner of the Saint Deep Summer Photo Challenge Wildcard contest. But Adrian Marcoux ran a close race to Lloyd on Pinkbike.com and in a turn of events he has been granted the opportunity to compete in the Saint Deep Summer Photo Challenge as a second Wildcard contender due to an unforseen schedule change for invited photographer Sterling Lorence.

"I am now going to be in California for the week of the photo contest," says Lorence. "So, with a story board ready and in place, I will have to put the Deep Summer project on the back burner for another year. I hope to be able to shoot it out in 2011."

So Adrian is in as well! Read on a quick interview

After tallying over 11,000 votes, the winner of the Saint Deep Summer Challenge Wildcard has been determined and Steve Lloyd from Utah will take part in this year's challenge. He will face off against the likes of Paul Morrison, Jordan Manley, Sven Martin and Nicolas Teichrob. We caught up with Steve to get some further insight into his photography.

The race scene is full of so many talented riders and awesome people. Sarsha Huntington though is probably one of the nicest people you could ever have the pleasure of meeting. Her addictive, flamboyant personality mixed with her vivacious riding style means you get the whole package in Sarsha!

Brett Rheeder is one of the few riders in Ontario that rides and competes in slopstyle. Not only does he have lots of enthusiasm and skill on a bike, but has the abilities to use a mini digger like a painter uses a paint brush. Check out who Brett is and be sure to watch him this year at the slopestyle events...

It's been 1 year since Lance McDermott last showed off his skills in a contest. A broken leg sustained in a BMX crash June 2009 (See it in the video), followed by a major failure in his first operation has had Lance sitting on the sideline watching on so far in 2010. Despite signing a deal for the newly revitalized UK brand Saracen in 2010 it is only now he is getting his leg back over a bike and pushing towards the standard of riding we all know him for. A few weeks ago I headed to meet Lance, shoot some video and see him as he pushes back towards full fitness in an attempt to be able to compete at Crankworx in a few weeks.

Thomas Vanderham is known for going big. But his approach to mountain biking is technical and calculated paralleling that of a world cup DH racer, even though his canvas is hidden lines in the forest and the open hills of the backcountry.

Baxter Redfern is a Videographer/Photographer based out of Victoria, B.C. Working closely with big names such as Harookz, and Ian Hylands, as well as having some of the most talented riders as friends has played a role in helping him hone his skills. However, Baxter's work stands out on its own, thanks to his raw talent, charisma, and humor; something I had the privilege of witnessing first hand while attending photography school at the same time as Baxter.
