SUPERTED on 14BIKECO.
It seems that SuperTed, one of the most amazing fixed rider i’ve seen, as changed sponsors. It appears that now he’s riding for a London based company called 14Bike co. No more Charge Bikes for him, weird. It has to be confirm anyway. Investigation man !
Anyway, here’s a little clip that was shot in 16mm to introduce the freestyle rider to his new crew, and i have to admit that the shot is pretty sick, enjoy !

ROB-J VANS signature bike
My friend Rob-J just send me some pics of his new pro-model with CANYON. Yesterday i show you the work of Oakley with C100 studio, the same studio is back in the game with this collaboration between Canyon and Vans (Hell Yeah !). This bike is really awesome and the design job is sick… Hey Rob, i want one. Find after the drop plenty of pics of this new killer looking bike and some words of Rob about it. The whole concept is really cool and the price as well, so go for it ! (more…)
C100/OAKLEY JUPITER
C100 is a design studio based in Munich. The main brain behind it, Christian Hundertmark, is working for the biggest brand in the world adding his special touch to snowboard, bikes or sunglasses just to name few….Rocky Mountain bikes already worked with him on a special frame project some years ago. This time, it’s Oakley, and the tribute-to-Frogskin Jupiter’s model which is worked out. All over graphism and special package make it a must-have, but hurry up, only 5000ex. worldwide… (more…)

FISE 2009-MTB SLOPESTYLE
Last weekend was the FISE in Montpellier. For those who don’t now, the FISE is for more than 10 years now, the main event in France related to action sports. Wakeboard, BMX, FMX….and MTB slopestyle contests are organised to pleased a MASSIVE crowd. Really huge.
Anyway, this year the slopestyle course was designed by PEF, aka, Pierre Edouard Ferry. Big names showed up : McDermott, Pilgrim, Montgomery, Granieri…..and the average level of riding was really high. NewComers are really killing it. Big up to the Lyon’s crew : Bibi (LFBC represent), MiniTeboule, Valentin, Tony….who really killed it. Imagine 5 riders of Lyon in the top 8 quali. Just following the steps of PEF and Yannick, good.
Final results are : Mc Dermott(SCOTT), Pilgrim(DiamondBack), Granieri(Ayton-Giant-Les2Alpes). But congrats to all riders, it was insane.
Here are some pics after the drop because it speaks better than words, and the video is on the work ! Keep posted mates !

Transformable table @BKLYNDESIGN show
I really like transformable or multifunctional furniture. First, i really this that it is the best way to get low footprint products, and second it allows you to get less furniture in your flat.
This table made by Terramai is more than that. Made out of reclaimed wood, it switchs from a table to a seat just like that. Check out some more infos here and on the Terramai website. There are some really other cool stuff on the BKLYNDESIGN tradeshow website so go check this out too.
The Atherton project episode 1
The Atherton project, an inside look in the real life of the fastest family in MTB is finally on ! This anticipated video project filmed by Clay Porter is one of the most exciting thing to me for a while now, and you can be sure that the quality is going to be present. RedBull helped out to make this project alive and it’s definitely a really good thing when a sponsor is open to a different video project like this one…..Enjoy the first episode here.
