After winning the worldchampionships, what else was there to accomplish for Peaty? For something completely different… an iPhone app!

It’s great to see things like this happening, after the Downhill Domination game for playstation 2 there was a big gap for us bikers. But I’m affraid this game is still to premature to like much. Both grapics and controls. But I’m hopefull, if they start developing this game, listening to feedback… it’ll be fun riding with Steve Peat, Greg Minnaar, Josh Bryceland and Hans Ray! Even with Rob Warner if you can stand him that is.

Last year I had a lot of fun creating a top 9 list for bike-stuff to do in 2009. Eventhough my life changed drastically when I decided to quit my job and work as a freelancer, I got to do most of my list. So I’m going to create a new list and not going to do 10 in 2010, but continu with 9.

1. Strip Remedy and equip with spanking new cool parts, update to SRAM (finally!),
2. Get into shape (“hello roadbike”) to shred trails this summer,
3. Make more video footage!
4. Have TFT tune shock and fork,
5. Get new tires that’ll survice Bike Attack-types of rides,
6. Ride Freeraid Classic and …?
7. Testride Trek Scratch!
8. Oh, RIDE MORE!
9. and, BLOG MORE!

…but it’s cold as hell!

The 2009 edition hadn’t finished, or me and my friend where already looking forward to coming back in 2010. The Bike Attack is THAT awesome. Well, imagine our surprise to find out that 2010 will be a Bike Attack-less year! The uplift is going to be rebuild, a complete rebuild! And without an uplift it’s going to be very difficult to enjoy a Bike Attack. It’s good to hear about renovations (allthough it didn’t look ‘old’ to me, infact, I did wonder how it’s build or replaced, so now would be my chance to find out, right?), and they hope to be back in 2011. Let’s hope so.

Liebe Freerider
nun ist die Entscheidung gefallen!

Im kommenden Sommer wird die alte 4er-Gondelbahn am Rothorn komplett neu gebaut. Aufgrund des Baustellenbetriebes und den Vorgaben durch das Bundesamt für Verkehr, bleibt der Betrieb am Rothorn leider den ganzen Sommer eingestellt. Das TREK BIKE ATTCK findet im Jahre 2010 deshalb nicht statt. Das OK TREK BIKE ATTACK bedauert diesen Entscheid sehr, freut sich aber bereits auf August 2011, wenn auf dem Rothorn-Gipfel mit neuer Bahn, top Infrastruktur und verbesserter Strecke wieder der Startschuss fällt, zum legendären TREK BIKE ATTACK. Das OK TREK BIKE ATTACK hat zusammen mit den Verantwortlichen von Lenzerheide Bergbahnen am Scalottas eine alternative Streckenführung geprüft und ist zum Entschluss gekommen, dass die Original-TBA-Strecke vom Rothorn-Gipfel nach Churwalden nicht gleichwertig ersetzt werden kann. Zudem sind die logistischen Mittel am Scalottas eingeschränkt.

Hi there, welcome on the other side! Bikeblog.nl just migrated to another server and the old theme didn’t play nice to the newer version of Wordpress. Technical stuff really, so while I process all the images that are now missing, I hope you’ll just look around and find what you are looking for. If not: just post a comment below and I’ll come to the rescue! :-)

The Trek Scratch was one of the bikes that rode perfectly. The BB height , head angle options (yes options 66 or 66.5 degrees) and chain stay length lead to flawless handling. The model I rode was set with coil springs and in spite of the associated weight it just rolled up the loose gravel road at Bootleg Canyon like a 28 lb XC bike. In fact while riding in the middle ring Andrew Shandro (from Trek Design team) and I were able to have a decent conversation about the purpose of the bike. We both believe that for a bike to be truly considered a trail bike it must climb well
