Had a good turn out despite the Canada day long weekend and the opening of Garbonzo, for our On Top demo day. Weather was good and the trails weren't totally dry but weren't all that wet either... for me thats perfect trail conditions. On Top wants to do another one so if it happens I'll post it up her
e.Yeah thats Dan from On Top sleeping in the Van... he was full of poison dulling the pain of his broken ribs sustained early in the week on the same mountain.
He was the designated driver for the shuttles.Me and Keith managed to put together the last prototype medium Rune. Personally I think it looks great and we did manage to get a few rides in down Cypress mountain - it performs just as well as it looks. We've been able to get a few rid
ers under the bike so far and all of the comments have been great.We also had Keiths Wildcard there and got a lot of questions and a few confirmed sales so we just need to hurry up and get some in.
Chris and Alan are in Whistler right now and Chris has one of the prototypes. Keith is also at Whistler with the Rune proto and the Rampant so if you are up there and want to throw a leg over one to 
take for a burn send us a message. We've been lending the bikes out to get feedback from everyone.Shin rode the Rampant at Whistler this weekend and clearly loves it. He says it tears up Aline and Dirt Merchant. I'm waiting for Jarl Jensen our new Aussie DH racer to ride it in the Crankworx 4X... its too bad the DH bike isn't done yet.... oh well. He's been racing on the US National circuit and is excited to be on our race program we're putting together. In addition Linden Carlsons our Colorado rep is putting together a Banshee team for the Colorado mountain states cup - he'll be racing too.
Theres a ton of stuff going on right now its crazy. We've got Rebel Media from Germany out in K
amloops filming then heading to Vernon and back to Vancouver then Whistler. Spent all day building their rides - 3 dialled Chaparrals that I know they're gonna love. They're Wicked Wheels program is popular in Europe so don't worry if you haven't seen them on your local channels... they're working on North American syndication.I'll be putting up some more info on who we have riding for us but for now
we've got new on the program Matt Brooks. He's currently at CrankWorx Colorado competing and then will be back to compete in the Whistler CW. He's on a Wildcard and weeks ago finished filming with Freeride Entertainments NWD8 which he rode a Chap in because we just received his Wildcard and needed to get it to him.Scott Alleyn... the dude that did the 720 on a broken P3. He had duct taped it so that he could compete and win to boot... well he's apparantly gone through a few more. His Wildcard is on the way and I know him, Chris and Alan are all in the Crankworx lottery. I
just hope they get a chance to compete because they're all pretty talented
. Scott's moving to Whistler and will be working with Keith this fall to redesign the Calango into a tight little Dirt Jump bike.Also we have Nathan Kamilla who rides out of the interior, He'll be one of the first with a Scythe as he goes massive... he's also about 6'5". Scott and Nathan are both on Straightline components and thanks goes out to Greg for getting a line on them for us, they really seem like great dudes.
I'll get some more info up about them but its nice to finally get some BC boys under our rigs again.
So heres a bunch more pics and I'll be working on some video as well but I need to get up to Whistler and Squamish to get the bikes in their elements. Seems all our riders are up there right now.The Scythe should go online pretty soon
One last thing... Happy 4th of July to our friends down South, I'll be down there again this year for the ride across to the Sturgis motorcycle festival in South Dakota, as well as Interbike in LV.
