Transition Racing's Time Bandits, Vol.1
Follow the life of the Transition DH Race Team in our first installment of the Time Bandits race series.
Volume 1 of Time Bandits takes Transition factory racer Lars Sternberg and filmer Brad Walton to southern California, where Lars does his first race of the season at Fontana to see where he'll need to focus his training for the rest of the season, while team mates Bryn and Jill are training in Australia.

In Part 1, we head to Santa Cruz to shred some trails on Lars' new suspension setup courtesy of Fox Shox, then we head in for the Fox Factory tour and follow a fork through the assembly line.
Part 2 gives us a glimpse into the Crank Bros design studio in Laguna Beach, followed by some Laguna riding. Then it's off to the races as Lars gets in a practice day at Fontana, and finally we end it with his race run.
Stay tuned for Volume 2 where we'll cover the shenanigans of Sea Otter in Monterey!

You can't ride harder if you have a fulltime job in the office. You sit in front of the computer 40 hours a week and after you reach about 35 and try to ride hard this one time a week you will just break yourself. My friend went with his 3 around 40yr old friends to a bikepark weekend, they ridden for first time since a very long time. Each broke something in his body.
If you are 15 and you break your hand thats a month and you can ride again. 20 thats max a month in bandage and cast, and lets say max 3 months of recovery. I displaced my thumb last year and it still hurts...
I dont write it to depress you - this is the best time of your life enjoy it! Live it to the fullest! Cuz later its just responsibilities and weaker and weaker body. Off course you can work o it you dont have to be a bum (like me) but you just have less and less time for it. Every year its harder.
My boss told me a good thing: a man's life is three things: being a father/husband, being a professional, having a passion. You want to be the best in something Pick one. If you want to pick two, you are going to be average, it takes an exceptional personality to be even very good at two. And you can't pick three... Even if your job is your passion your family will suffer.
Hands down the most intelligent comment ever posted on this website.
Holy shit!
