Voreis and the AllRide team on Specialized
We knew it for a long time now, since SeaOtter to be exact, it’s now officail, Kirt Voreis is back on a Specialized bike. No more SantaCruz bikes for the AllRide team and their young rippers. It’s pretty cool though that Kirt is back on Specialized, bikes he was racing WC with, along with Palmer and Tara Llanes. Full interview, as soon as possible !

26Trix Final- McCaul made it !
For a long time Cam McCaul missed the higher place of the podium, but in Leogang, for this edition of the 26trix, he made it. A perfect run with a huge tailwhip and a front flip on the “Air Time” line plus some extra sick tricks like barspins or flipwhip gave him the win ! It was actually pretty close with Brandon Semenuk (2nd) who lead after the first run but slipped the pedal on his last trick. Brandon pleased the crowd with 3-6, opposite 3-6, flip x-up one foot and 3-6 whip but ended up second. Martin Soederström, who crashed on his first run had all the pressure on his shoulder but manage to make a super technical run, and took the 3rd place. Follow Sam Pilgrim, Yannick Granieri, Paul Basagoitia, Andreu Lacondeguy and Amir Kabbani.

26Trix in Leogang randoms
26trix really started yesterday with qualifications. As i was judging, i couldn’t really filmed or take pics from the contest in itself, but i manage to shot some things before the contest. So here’s a little gallery with a bunch of snpashots, from the trip to Leogang with Yannick and Tyler to the training session….
About the contest, the line is almost the same as last year, only the second jump of the big line (air time line ! ) gets smaller and more trickable. The level is actually pretty crazy with more than half of the riders taking the big line. Semenuk leads the pack but the big game is today with the Final. Andreu is really impressive with massive trick and amazing style as always, maybe all about the Barca shirt…Sam Pilgrim is pretty solid as always, as well as Martin despite the fact that he crashed some weeks ago and still isn’t 100% (!!!). Homie, Yannick , did a pretty solid run too, keepin’ some bigger tricks for the Final. What else : Linus is massive as always with frontflip and huge no foot can, Felix Rosendhal was pretty impressive during practice but was unlucky during quali crashing in both runs…McCaul family is super smooth and go big as always, for sure Cam will step up the level for the Final….Wait and see, few hours to wait, more news this evening !
new Intense Tazer VP 2010
Intense cycles sent over some pics of their new beauty, the Tazer VP 2010. The same bike ridden by the ChainReaction team…I wish one day this one will be mine, love this bike, the perfect toy, racing on a track, or even shredding in a forest…A bit of bike porn is always good…

Viktor Strasse, who is more famous for his work as BMX photographer, was in Willingen to shoot the “Scott on Air” contest. Super sick shots that you will find just below. Thanks for that Viktor ! You can check his work on his website here. One other thing that is pretty interesting is that Viktor is actually the biggest fan i know from Louis de Funès…ahahahah…

Last weekend was the Sympatex festival in Willingen, a dirt contest, a big festival and a DH race with a lot of WC racers. Pretty cool. The video is on progress, so here’s some little pics from the weekend.
The Chris Van Dine itw part.2
The second part of the Chris Van Dine itw is on ! As you may understand it, there’s not a lot of riders that keep on pushing their sport at 30, dedicated to the riding, the fun of it, doing it with plenty of style…For me this is really a good lesson of life and especially of bike lifestyle, it’s not watching guys like Peaty, Voreis or Mr Hans Rey who gonna make me change my mind ! Enjoy it just after the drop… (more…)
A day @home with Pierre Edouard Ferry…
I spend a day with Pierre Edouard Ferry, aka PEF, at home…and let me tell you that it was all about bike riding and Harley Davidson….mmmmm, let’s add Led Zeppelin to the recipe…Next week is Freeraid in les 2 Alpes, so you will have the opportunity to take a ride with him, so grab the chance of having a good day of riding mates !
The Chris Van Dine itw part.1
It’s been a long time that i wanted to make a interview with Chris VanDine. Firstable i really appreciate him as one of the best all-around rider at the moment, fast in DH, stylish in Freeride and sick riding street. Chris really represent what i call a MTB rider. Able to send it on any type of riding. The second thing that make me want to give you this little interview is that Chris is really a GREAT guy. You can really speak hours with him about a lot of things but MTB (not that i don’t like talking about bikes) but it’s what you can call a real character of the scene…Enough talking, enjoy the reading of this first part of the Chris VanDine interview… (more…)
