I know it’s still a year away, but there’s limited spaces at the starting grid and this kinda helps with not having a Trek Bike Attack in 2010 at all… registration just started… good thing about it, you’ll have forgotten about the steep entry fee by that time :-)
Registration Trek Bike Attack 2011
www.bike-attack.ch
We have a new sensation going on in the Netherlands, a growing number of girls that freeride and are GOOD at it too! A few of them (including me) have started this website www.freeride4girls.nl and we’ll be blogging en vlogging our asses of as much as our bike-pleasure allows us. We’re quite ambitious, so this could be the start of a very interesting new weblog. Go check it out, we’re still writing content and new posts will be added every day or so. And please, let us know what you think!
At the moment I’m working on a companion for the Remedy, a downhill rig with a nostalgic touch and one that doesn’t cost me the world. My Remedy is still my baby and the bike that brings the most smiles. But I want to keep it for many years to come (something unique, I usually can’t wait for something new) so I thought it was best not to ride full on downhill with the Remedy anymore.
I visited the Filthy Trails this Sunday with the Remedy (new bike not done yet) and it’s one of these places the Remedy feels right at home. It even jumps the gaps like it’s nothing and if I didn’t have half a brain, I’d attempt to two bigger ones too.
Well… just when you think that you and your Remedy will be happy together for many years to come… they go and do this… the Trek Scratch Air 9.
I cannot believe how awesome this bike is. Check the details Pinkbike posted on this baby:
Having the ABP on board is something we’ve grown accustomed to, it’s like your bike says “don’t worry, I have this under control, you just go faster and have fun”. Now they’re introducing the Mino Link, a way to tune the head angle and bottom bracket height. Now it’s fine tuning really, but I bet it makes the difference between going out for an ‘enduro-ride’ today or going for a ‘downhill-ride’ today, and having fun with the same bike.
I would love to compare the Scratch with my Remedy, by weight and purpose. Along my Remedy I’m building a bike for DH only. I love how the Remedy rides downhill, but I was planning to ride for many years to come… The Remedy tags along for enduro rides, local rides in Holland, and downhill-marathon rides abroad. And it rocks at it. Would the Scratch be equally fun on all fronts ánd the downhill tracks too?
Pinkbike is one of the lucky ones who got to go to the Trek Press camp this week in Chatel. Where others have to wait for their contacts to get home from that week ;-) they get to see and try these awesome rides in the right type of place.
