Fogelsode #5: Funspot and Forest Freeride

Fogelsode #5 is online!  Mike Montgomery was in town for the weekend so we rode various spots around here.  When we went to the Funspot Bike Park, Mike absolutely killed it, throwing some crazy tricks over the big box!  He even nailed his two new tricks, the M/M 360 (superman seatgrab indian air 360) and the Rodeo 360 (360 so dumped it looks like a corkflip at the peak)!  Luke was there too, making some techy lines look smooth and easy!  The same day we rode the step-up and I learned a new trick, nothing to tailwhip!  They were kinda small, but we should have some pretty big jumps up and running in the next few weeks, so I’m hoping to get them more extended over those.  Mike helped me out with my dumped 3’s as well!

The second half was filmed up in the woods at a cool freeride trail.  We all brought out the fullys and had a blast riding something new and different!  We were sure to get plenty of runs in on the trails as well!

Enjoy!

On a side note, Justin Brantley has been SLAYING it behind the lens as usual!  Here’s a few shots from this week.

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.
