One, they aren't from the same country. Two, Steve Peat didn't have kids when he was like 14. What Santa Cruz was he using though?? Wasn't it just last year Jamie Goldman rode a v10 here?
He's probably on the same idea as Kurt Sorge last week at Joyride, using a trail bike frame, possibly a Blur or a Solo, I personally think it could be a Blur. Either that or Santa Cruz are making a Slopestyle bike. I sat for like at least ten minutes comparing his bike to ALL of SC's full sus frames haha.
Apparently Juliana is its own brand of bikes now actually. An XS Juliana Primero Origin would probably be the best slope bike santa cruz could make right now - unless their other suspension system has benefits.
they are actually basing their slope bike on a blur. started with a trail frame but shortened up the chainstays, steepened the headtube angle and raised the bottom bracket
Sounds really nice, knowing Santa Cruz it'll be hella expensive though, nice to see Slope bikes are becoming more popular. Wonder if Giant will make a Slope bike out of the Trance or not, I think they should.
Except, that part of the bike park isn't open to the public. But that is kind of a mute point, this year the entire mount washington bike park didn't open.
RedBull website says: Due to recent technical complications experienced onsite, we are unable to provide a high-quality live web stream of this event, as planned. Instead, we'll be bringing you photo and video coverage.
I was actually commenting on the fact there's no women in slopestyle the other day and was saying i'd love to start something up. It's such a shame that women don't do it, kinda lets the team down a bit
Can't believe this was the am comp! So sick! I'd be pissed if I could throw down tricks like that and then be called an amateur haha. Guess that many riders are getting really good though, pretty awesome.
live stream is here but it doesnt work...
