Canyon “Stitched” ltd Tibor.
CanyonBikes is back again with a new limited edition of its 4X/dirt frame, the STITCHED. After the Rob-J limited model with Vans some months ago, it’s Tibor Simai’s turn to choose and work on a proper design. Nice work.
“The Stitched was designed by Tibor Simai in close cooperation with Lutz Scheffer. “He realises my ideas.” “The end result is the best dirt bike I can imagine.” The frame geometry is tailor-made for dirt bikers: a variable wheel base, which can be adjusted between 1070 and 1095 mm according to preference. The geometry allows acrobatic dirt jumps in the most beautiful spots in the world.” Check out more infos on the Canyon website and check out some pics after the drop. (more…)

CoffeeTalk with Cam Zink
Nothing is really predictabe when Cam Zink is riding his bike. He got this “go-for-it” attitude that makes him special. For sure that when his run is on, everybody stick their eyes on the screen.
He’s also a man of injuries, a lot of them, but when some could just say stop, you can see Cam coming back everytime. Big crashes, huge jumps, Cam Zink really like going big ! Here’s a small chat for those who don’t really know him, or just through NWD parts. Cam is more that. Expect the unexpected with Cam. Thanks to Felt and Michel Lethenet for the pics. Check out the nice Cam’s edit for Mavic at the end of the itw. (more…)

Reebok PUMP 20th anniversary.
When i hear “Reebok PUMP” my first thought is for Michael CHANG, I don’t remember if he was wearing them at this time, but the Roland Garros Final against Ivan Lendl was epic…Damn, i’m getting old.

RUGGED is over…
For those who are living in the US, Carhartt maybe means nothing for them, just another workwear brand like Dickies. But for us, lucky euros, Carhartt is way much more, check their website for an idea…. With teams in BMX street, flatland, skateboard and so on, Carhartt always involved itself in actionsports but on the lifestyle way. Their project books are always awesome, talking about nice trips around the world, Mongolia, Russia and so on….They also were really involved in the street art scene, graffiti style… (more…)
CoffeeTalk with Carlo Dieckmann
I know Carlo D for a long time now. Before beeing on Cannondale, then LEAFcycles, i had the chance to make a small roadtrip with him while he was on LASTbikes. What always amazed me, it’s his ability to ride a bike. Super confident when it’s about streeriding, Carlo is also really stylish on dirtjumps and quite fast when it’s all about freeriding. I also remember somebody that was really aware of the amount of work that a “pro” status involved. When i see him now, i really see an happy rider. Hooked up with LEAFcycles, he really had the opportunity to let his creativity go, without the restrictions of a big brand with corporate ideas. Always searching for the next thing to do, as with LEAF or MTBisOKAY.de, it was the perfect timing to know a bit more on what was going on for him… (more…)

Terry Rodgers’ paintings.
In our times of glamour, Terry Rodger’s paintings are questioning the public about its interpretation of what it sees…True ? False ? So many people, feeling of lonelyness…. I really appreciate Rodger’s work, and even if you don’t want to ask yourself many questions about that, at least, it’s also fun to search for famous people inside his paintings….Angelina, what are you doing here ? héhéhé….
Check out his website here and more of his work after the drop… (more…)

Emilia Forstreuter’s work.
Emilia Forstreuter is none other than Joscha’s sister.
