Nice vid and riding guys!

Brandon Hayward and Aeron Learmonth

I have been helping Jay and Keith go through the emails they get for sponsorships. I have been going through a lot of emails from all over. But, there must be something in the water in Kelowna … I got an email from 15  year old Aeron Learmonth looking for sponsorship with this video attached.

Then last week Jay posted up a video of Brandon Hayward doing a mexi-can on his Rampant. The next day I got an email in my inbox from Brandon Hayward looking for sponsorship. Today I have wasted most of my day catching up on internet reading, doing blog posts and putting my wildcard back together. After I stopped at my favorite porn site (I can not link it, my mom might read this) I headed to pinkbike, what do i find? More Brandon Hayward …

and some Dustin Greenall.

 

This is Team Ok’s full length movie featuring Aeron, Brandon and Dustin. I can not wait to see what these guys do in 2010 … and all on Banshee bikes.

 

I am going to have to move to Kelowna, and get schooled by these riders half my age.

Stolen Rune??

I was sent a link to this suspicious ebay listing... It may well be genuin, but the seller certainly doesn't appear to have a clue what they are talking about... so makes me wonder. Spread the word!

check it out...

I would love it for this to be returned to owner if it is indeed stolen. If you check out the sellers only other item, it is also very dodgy!

Introducing Jayne Rutter

Team Banshee Australia would love to officially announce and welcome Jayne Rutter to the team.  Jayne is riding the fantastic Banshee Rampant, built up by Barspin Imports (the Australian Distributor).  Jayne will be contesting the Australian National Four Cross series along with some National Downhill Races along the way.  We are very excited to have Jayne on the team and can’t wait to see her out racing.  She has already had some success on the new bike, with podium finishes in her local Queensland Sunshine Series races. 

Cheers,

Darren Boman

Rob just sent me this vid of the comp you've seen pics of before.

Banshee has 2 riders in this comp... one will be announced later when we can get a pic of him with all his bikes. Yeah its not really out there yet but i'm sure ppl will be stoked to learn who it is.

Just built up my new Banshee Rampant, pretty stoked on the new look. Feels just as awsome as my other rampant but also feels fresher, stoked for some shred time on this baby.

Alan,

Fogelsode #4: Dirt Jump Kickball and Thanksgiving Trail Ride

Fogelsode #4 is up!  It started out with a fun little sesh at the dirt jumps, when Cob found a big red rubber ball!  We were doing a big train and Cob ran up next to a jump and held the ball above his head.  Everyone tried to kick it but the ball was too low.  I told him to throw it up when I did a tailwhip and it went flying!  Cam said we should get someone to try to catch the ball after I hit it and things got epic after that.  Cam and I did some tailwhips and we wanted to try some other tricks.  We though of no-foot-cans but figured they would just kick the ball downward.  Not for Jamie though!  He threw some huge Indian Cans and tapped the ball with his foot on one.  He went on to hit it with some nacs after that!

A few days later, on Thanksgiving, Matt, Christian, Iggy, and I got together for a trail ride.  I had just got my Rampant back up and running so I was stoked to get back on a fully!  It was sooooo much fun, especially with the short rain we got, making everything nice and loamy.  We wanted to film it a little different than most trail videos, so we set it up as staggered pairs of riders.  I was stoked how it came together and how much fun it was to ride!  There’s going to be a lot more riding on fullies in the future so look forward to that! 

At the end there were some shots of drifting at Matt’s Ranch.  He took us up there to scope for building, so we found some lines and began to do some work.  It started raining though, but we are planning on heading out there next weekend.  He’s got a tractor too, so we should have some dialed lines runnin in no time!  Without further adieu, here’s Fogelsode #4!
