Cove Bikes and Riding with Steve Smith and Tyler Morland
Last week I had the opportunity to meet up with Tyler Morland and Steve Smith of Cove Bikes for a few hours and watch them rip it up. While I waited for them to get some new decals on their race steeds I was also able to do a walk through of the Cove shop for all you to check out.
Here's some video and pics of the day:Cove Bikes of North Vancouver is the frame supplier for these two rippers. Here is a video walk through of the store and some pics to show you what's going on inside the walls of Cove Bikes.

Once the guys were done tinkering and Stuart was done applying new decals and spit polishing the bikes, it was time to hit the trails. Steve's buddy Keith Frajman was along for the ride and was reppin' his High School basketball team jersey for the rides. In between laps I had a chance to ask the guys who's helping them out this year, and why the hell does Tyler's lady friend Andrea let him keep growing that creepy caterpillar on his upper lip.
Steve Smith:
I'm 18 year's off age and love pinning it on my two wheeler. Training laps with my team mates keeps me on my toes. I want to thank Red Bull, Cove Bikes, SRAM, RockShox, Avid, Truvativ, Oakley, Troy Lee Designs, Five Ten Shoes, Crank Brothers, Maxxis and Sun Ringle for keeping me running smoothly.
As for Tyler's creepy mustache, I think Andrea love's the slug. Peer studly-ness! And it's the tickler. That may be inappropriate, but that's my guess for it.

Tyler Morland:
Well I'm old at 27 years now and only here to keep Steve in line! I love racing my bike and seeing how hard I can push it in the corners-it's all about the corners folks. I want to thank SRAM, RockShox, Avid, Truvativ, Cove Bikes, Troy Lee Designs, Chromag, WTB, Zodiac Watches, Dakine, Crankbrothers, Maxxis, NRG, Oakley and Whistler Mountain bike park.
Ok my mustache is not creepy and she loves it because it's soft and gets longer by the day.
