First Ride - Sebastian Jensen

After the forest was buried in snow from mid november, it has been hard to ride. So today I headed out to my local DH spot. Its only about 30 sekunds long but fun and has a lot of good momories to it. It was quite weird to ride my bike again after two mounths, but it was super sick. The first runs was like if I had to learn to ride again - really funky. But after a few runs I felt home again! It was also one of the first rides on my new Marzocchi 888 RC3 Ti from 2011. That fork is so controlled and super plush! I can wait to get my Marzocchi Roco shock on, when I get my spring for it. Besides the suspension my Legend is running smooth. It can´t wait to see what 2011 might bring!

First ride of ´11 - happy!

2011 is looking to be a good year racing wise so stay tuned for the race schedule!

A Day in Santa Cruz by Jeff Herbertson

I recently moved my business from Santa Cruz to a new location in Novato California. I haven't had much free time since setting up shop has been quite a labor intensive process. Last weekend I took a trip down to Santa Cruz to get a little session in between rainstorms. Thanks to Ray for filming and putting this together.

Fox Kashima coated Forks/Shocks

Just a quick note to everyone out there as I have received at least 10 questions on this in the last 2 days.
Fox will NOT be supplying any forks to any manufacturer with the Kashima coating. So as it stands only forks sold through aftermarket will be available with this coating.

We're only speculating at this point but we believe the coating is only being done by the subcontractor in Japan, which means the forks have to travel from the USA to Japan, then back to the USA. Now if they had to travel back to Asia again that would be a lot of shipping charges and something the OE manufacturers would not want to absorb.
I believe Fox may be setting up some infrastructure to mitigate this added cost of both money and time so that in the near future OE's will be able to get the same forks as the aftermarket. But for the 2011 season we just can't get it.

Off Season training with Adam Brayton

Adam had a bit of a rough end to 2010... but he is back on the bike and working hard for the 2011 WC race season. Adam can't ride slowly.. it's a fact, he just falls off if he tries... so he has to go everywhere at full throttle... as you'll see here!

Skull Candy @ AT Show Down

Mike's 720 at the AT Show Down was one of the biggest tricks of 2010. When he lands the 1080 that will be one of the biggest tricks of 2011.

Mike skipped breakfast so he is hungry ... my guess is he will be eating a big lunch. And by a big lunch I mean expect big things from Mike Montgomery.

Watch him throw down at the Mike Montgomery Show, I mean AT Show Down:




Keep Riding.

Fogelsode S2 #6: Good Ol' Winter

The weather’s been amazing lately, with many warm sunny days and a few rainy ones here and there.  We got some solid rain one morning, which threw off the day’s plans, so I decided to go to the step-up instead and do a bit of filming.  I brought my slope bike out there and had a good time trying some tricks that I’d only done on my hardtail.  With the sun coming out the next day, many made their way over to Post Office to do some digging.  It was productive to say the least, and with a few more days of work, there should be a couple new lines running!
