The demo crew life; Anthony Bourdain wannabes and Ariel is top American

it used to suck 13 hours, 43 minutes ago.

Hi Everyone Sorry it’s been a bit since I updated anyone on what Ariel and I and the demo bikes have been up to. July has been insane. Ariel went to France and got 13th, top American ever, in the pro field at the Mega Avalanche at Alpe D’huez. Go Ariel! Check this video clip from his 3rd [...]

Garen Becker, above (photo courtesy of the sharp-eyed strange angel, is showcasing the highly evolved scoring system we employed at this year’s Downieville Classic to keep track of the BronsonPeople and their standings in the annual Cannery Cup Bragging Rights All Mountain Gongshow. He may have just gone swimming with the results. That’ll happen sometimes. [...]

S.C.B!

it used to suck 29 days ago.

Most people assume that the initials SCB stand for Santa Cruz Bicycles. What they don’t know is that the initials are really shorthand code for an end of the month all hands on deck phenomenon known as Shitloads of Cardboard Boxes. Kinda cool to see all those boxes get emptied out, turned into bicycles, then [...]

Mondays, Better for Some than Others.

it used to suck 1 month, 1 day ago.

The above video is a poached screen-capture of Mark Webber’s absolutely spectacular and amazing crash at the Formula One GP of Valencia this past weekend. Since the powers that be controlling how Formula One broadcasts are handled tend to have a dim view of rebroadcasts, even when taken by pointing a camera at a TV [...]

Carbon Based Lifeforms…

it used to suck 1 month, 6 days ago.

While the worker bees, sales guys and marketing stooges keep trucking along arrow straight and tight like a muthafukin’ tiger down here at the cannery, the engineers are up in Whistler, entertaining journalists and dazzling passers-by with some carbon fiber v-10s. Hey, wait, didn’t they just go to Portugal to do that? Oh, lookit that, [...]

it used to suck 1 month, 21 days ago.

After an epic weekend of World Cuppery in Fort William, Scotland, when the (uncommon) dust settled, and the midges stopped biting, the Syndicate boys walked away with a third place courtesy of Greg Minnaar’s performance (you can read team den mother Kathy Sessler’s report here). Peaty was busy launching a new team and learning how [...]

Wednesdays With Who?

it used to suck 1 month, 27 days ago.

Meanwhile, as Warranty Guy and I were enjoying gentlemanly conversation and colorful springtime trails aboard our Stigmatas over Memorial weekend, the usual, but of late invisible, hero of Wednesday – mister Mark Weir – was in Pennsyltucky, preparing to get beaten like a baldheaded, hairybacked stepchild. The venue for said beating being the very painful [...]

Four For The Weekend

Don’t forget to be careful around the gasoline: Best you survive the holiday, so that you can do your civic duty the weekend after: And finally, words to live by. Enjoy the weekend:

Strangulation

it used to suck 2 months, 3 days ago.

It has been a while folks, and aside from a gargantuan list of “shit that must get done” there is no excuse for the silence from this end of the wire. We shall try to be more proactive about not being silent in the upcoming days/weeks/months, especially since we just got guilt tripped by the [...]
