Team Propain Dirt Zelvy have arrived with a bang, with Phil Atwill's 'How to Get Dirty in One Minute Thirty', Innes Graham's 'Back with a Bang' and James Purvis' 'Young and Gunning' videos. Just before the team hits the first BDS round at Ae Forest, and then the first World Cup in Lourdes, we gathered in the famous town of Innerleithen in the Scottish Borders for several days to fine tune the new Propain Rage DH bikes, shoot photos, video and nail down the full setup for 2016 only with the absence of our resident Viking, Isak Leivsson who stayed home to undergo physio on his shoulder to be fighting fit for the first world cup in Lourdes.

Just a friendly reminder to steer your hands clear of the high-class upholstery.

It seems Phil is somewhat of a skateboarding extraordinaire after his winter in New Zealand. The board is out at every possible moment.

Here's Phil giving boss man Ben, a lesson in wood-pushing. Seems to be working.

Innes in full steeze mode. This guy was looking so fast in testing. He's back with a vengeance.

#allthelads - Ben Reid has pulled together an awesome set-up for this year. We hope you're looking forward to it as much as we are!

Atwill and Purvis clocking up some air miles aboard their Rages. Innes Graham took this shot, he's one hell of a photographer if you weren't aware.

Atop a very sunny and warm Scottish hillside - that does not happen very often.

And to finish.. The vessel of Innes Graham. The Propain Rage. Underrated? Maybe. Ready to race? Hell yeah.

The team will be at the first BDS round at Ae Forest this weekend, come down and say hello! Reidy will sort you with a cuppa tea.

 Phil Atwill is one of my top 5 favorite guys to watch! Having a mild skate background myself, more bonus points. Big skills man!

 Has anyone ridden the rage before? Finding anything about the frame seams difficult, and I've been very interested in one this past year.

 @Katakalism: I've ridden one in 2011, it was awesome, felt pretty similar to my iron horse Sunday at the time funnily enough, probably more like that than any other bike I can think if.

 Are they taking this seriously at all? That just looked like a pretty standard f*ck about! Not a training session!
