Another Pinkbike VOD for Aaron LaRocque and Team Banshee

Kaohsiung - LaRocque Edit

My good friend Aaron LaRocque has been in Taiwan for the past couple of weeks. We got him down to Kaohsiung on the weekend and he did some filming of my brother and I riding.

I hope you enjoy it ...

One Piece Riding Kit

From the Sponge Bob kit to the one piece coveralls, the testing for a new kit never really stops. Thanks to my clothing sponsor Harlok Design Group Inc. for hooking me up with a set of coveralls for the Taiwan winter.

Coveralls:
increase the ability to be a mechanic by at least 55%.
that are a size too small may reduce movement by 37%.
increase core temperature by 10 degrees.
increased awesomeness by 24%.
sex appeal down 5% ... due to grease and paint stains.


James has been riding and building a couple of days a week. He likes to go fast and take it up and he has been successful at both. He firmly believes that the Rampant is the bike for Taiwan, maybe the bike for all of Asia.

Merry Christmas ... Sort of

So I was working on my 2010 Christmas list when Jay told me we would be working through Christmas. So that means we will be answering emails and shipping stuff out through the Christmas Holiday season. I guess that is what happens when you move to Asia. You forget about Christmas.


I have not posted anything about myself in a while. I have been getting some emails asking how I am doing. If you do not know I broke my back in a biking accident in July. It has been a pain filled couple of months but I guess that is what happens when you break your back. I have been riding a little bit and have been doing my best not to over do it.


I have been riding a friend's road bike on and off for the past several months and I have been swimming a couple of times. Went to the beach this week ... rehab is hard.


I have been on my Amp and my brother's Rampant a little bit. Have been trying to keep my wheels on the ground as much as possible.

Riding some trails on my brother's Rampant. I am going to have to get me a Rampant soon. It is like be on my Amp but much more forgiving.


I have been working on my berm and pump track skills on my Amp. I can still not bunny hop, pulling up on the bars hurts. So my style is even worse than ever ...


Now that I am fat and out of shape it is a lot harder to ride all day. If the fatness does not get to me the back pain does.


Keep Riding.

Broke Back Mountain part deux (nette)

I heard that Rob was out filming for Broke Back mountain 2 when he had his mishap.
Now that i figure Rob will be ok, I can make fun of him!
We're a pretty sorry lot I suppose. Me with a busted up body after slamming into a truck on my motorcycle, half the Team Geronimo guys down with various injuries, and now Rob laying in a bed enjoying sponge baths by hairy man nurses -former retrained forestry workers with large rough hands- and tasting the finest the BC Medical system offers in culinary delights... such as ice in a cup, wet toast with hardboiled egg, warm apple juice, and for desert orange jello... the flavor that no one wants.

The latest is he's having bone removed from his hip and put into his back to strengthen it up and docs say he will be back filming in no time. His bruised uterus is also healing up nice.

I'm also hoping that he reads this and has a good laugh with broken ribs.

Heal up buddy!
