jonah lidberg bike check

August 15th, 2008 – 12:42 am

here’s jonah’s current ride. like a lot of the other dudes on the team, it’s pretty unique. his bike before this one, i think, was stolen right out of his truck’s hatch. let’s hope that doesn’t happen again, haha, this one is real good. look closely…

it’s been busy…

August 6th, 2008 – 11:29 pm

we’ve had a lot going on lately so that’s why the news has been sparse for the past week or so. today is no different either. just a quick update for now…

we have a couple new colors on some shirts. i suppose you could call them summer colors?

we also have track jackets in…and quite early too, haha. they come in black and red and are dope. i’ll get pictures up ASAP.

harry d. has edited a couple videos and i’ll be putting those up on our channels real soon.

strip bar samples will be in real soon for testing. can’t wait!

check out this awesome edit harry made over on vital. it has some used and unused footage from STA and the music is completely original, from harry himself.

drew now has a hard cast on his arm that looks kinda like an uncircumcised penis.

drew’s news

July 21st, 2008 – 9:43 pm

first of all, go check out this INSANE VIDEO OF DREW. wowzers. drew was goin crazy, killing tulsa’s spots when this happened…
drewsarm.jpg
…put his hand through a windshield of an old truck trying a gap to rail. he had some serious nerve damage and the dr’s worst case scenario seems to be that he may not be able to make a fist. if you know drew, then you know he’ll be riding again. so call, text, or myspace him and give him some good words. he’s stuck in oklahoma for check-ups with the surgeon that worked on him.

also, there’s a cool AZ video over on the ride site that’s got some good riding from greg litecky…and it’s not racing.

first up, we’ve started production on a 2008.5 250L. it has integrated, mid, and weighs in at 4.7lbs. They should be out real soon! Also, our metal working slave built our very own serial number stamper. this means that you can even customize your frame all the way down to the serial number (words, letters, or both and up to 10 characters)! I CALL 0000000069, haha!
