Akrigg &co in Spain.
Chris Akrigg, Victor Lucas and Rowan Sorrell went on a camping-car trip in Spain. The report will be available in the DirtMag issue 98. What’s really cool is that Victor Lucas not only shooted the trip, he also filmed it. Here’s the first part of this little trip video report.
OUTLIER clothing…
For sure that when you’re riding your bike in the city, you don’t want to especially look like that you’re going to the next race ? I mean, it’s not because you’re riding a bike that you have to wear Spandex and stuff like this….héhéhé…Same as when you see a guy riding a DH bike with the whole DH outfit to jump 5 stairs in the street….I mean it’s all about style at one point.
Guys at OUTLIER understood that completly and their products are all you need for riding without looking like riding-gear. Style and Bikes, all we love @LowFi…
“We firmly believe that the bicycle is the best form of urban transit for the 21st century, and our clothing is designed to make that fact even more true. Your clothing should work as well on a bicycle as it does on the subway or in a car, without shouting to the world “I’m a cyclist.” We are a clothing company first, not a cycling company. But we’re a clothing company that designs simple, good looking and hard wearing garments for a world where bikes are a part of your daily life.”
WORD !
Check out some of their products in action after the drop (more…)
“Far Dirt” trailer from BlackSessionsFilms
Black Sessions Films just released the trailer from their new video “FAR DIRT”…Pretty cool filming, fresh ideas…You can go check Black Sessions Films website here. Just one thing, i don’t know if those guys have the rights to use “The Good, the bad, and the Ugly”….not sure about it, anyway, it’s a damn good reference. And other point for me is the trailer is super dope, but not sure about a full lenght same style…But it’s my opinion. Big props to my man J.T !

What’s up Mr Minnaar ?
Greg Minnaar is one of my favourite rider of all time…i know i’m not the only one. Actually, i’m pretty glad that Greg is also on board with which is for me the best team in DH, not only racing side, but also for the mood that surround the team. Peaty, Miami Bryce, all that plus the fact that Rob Roskopp was the first skateboard pro deck i bought back in days, all this made the SantaCruz “Syndicate” special.
Greg got injured this winter, so i thought that it was maybe a good moment to ask him how things were doing for him right now. I really would like to thanks Kathy Sessler for the huge amount of pics she sent me, hard choice, so i put a lot of them in a gallery that you can enjoy at the end of the itw. Read that just after the drop ! (more…)
Massan killing it in the streets of SF…
I don’t know if it’s because now that i’m “trying to ride” a fixie i’m paying much more attention to it or else, but riding fix or not, you have to check that vid. Massan is really killing it. Bombing SF hills, that ride is amazing, really. Adding to that the dope music and cool filming and this video definitely worths the watch !

Stikman as INTENSE new marketing manager
I was so happy thins morning when i read this news on NSMB. Craig Glaspell aka Stikman is back in the business ! And with INTENSEcycles, sorry !!!! For those who don’t know who Stikman is, he’s simply one of the main guy of the industry for me. Was team manager, mechanic for Lopes and so, married to Leigh Donovan, became photographer and so on…. And what was really important for me is that he was for sure one of the first guy in the industry to have a small “gossip/news” website, stiksandstones.com which was truly inspirational. With Jeff Streber as chief, Stikman as marketing manager, and Palmer as tester leader, INTENSEcycles got a lot of good things in their hands right now ! Check out INTENSE website also for a short teaser of the up-coming video Palmer Chronicles !!!!!! (more…)
