More details on the Transition TR250
Purpose – Versatility
Transition was looking to design a versatile bike for downhill, freeride, park, and shuttle riders who enjoy riding aggressively but may not want a pure bred 8″ travel downhill race bike. The geometry on the TR250 will be a bit less aggressive than the TR450 and will maintain a similar suspension feel as its big brother but in a shorter travel version. The current prototype has some initial suppleness with some progression in the suspension design to help it track good in rough terrain as well as take bigger hits without upsetting the rider much like their TR450 bike does.

DirtTV Finals video from the World Cup in Champery. Gee Atherton and Emmeline Ragot take the wins in a titantic battle on the Swiss hill where the track went from being dry and dusty to sloppy wet to sticky gloop in a matter of days.
That didn’t stop the Parkin Bros banging out amazing video edits…check out the epic finals video.

All new, all mountain assassin

When a Handjob won’t do and picking up a STD is out of the question, it’s time to take another look at the G-Spot. For 2010, Cove completely redesigned the venerable G-Spot from the loam up.
The biggest change for the G-Spot is the suspension design. Gone is the rocker arm linkage with pivots on the seat stays and around the bottom bracket, in favour of the same floating pivot point suspension design as its big brother, the Shocker. So, how does this new version of a Shore classic ride? Good question… (more…)

Afan Trip May 2010
The video of our recent trip to Afan in Wales. This is the long version (37 mins) for us riders. It contains 90% of the downhill/trial sections of “Y Wall” and “White’s Level”. Probably pretty boring for non riders. Worth a skip through though. Next time we need trail side camera men for the 3rd person shots!

Sam Hill had a massive crash during official timed practise today at Fort William.
From the gondola I saw Hill slumped on the grass looking very shaken near the fast rocky drop/left hander a few corners up from the entry to the woods.
The latest news is that he has been to the local hospital for xrays to his shoulder.
Team mate Brendan Fairclough said “Sam doesn’t normally moan about injuries but he was looking pretty bad”
Healing vibes out to Hill and hope he’s back in the saddle for Sundays final.

Update: Sam speaks… sort of…

Fabien Barel talks about his injury
The guy is indisputably a legend and clearly has the attitude to match. Personally I cant wait to see him back!
Get well soon Fabien.
