Phil Sundbaum Shreds the Eurobike Jump Contest

Here's some cool video of Phil Sundbaum aboard his Steel Reserve at the Eurobike jump contest in Friedrichshafen, Germany. Check it out

Wilson's Haro Tattoo

Here it is, in all of it's glory...the Wilson tattoo video. If you remember from the last post, Wilson was challenged by Phil to get a Haro tattoo in order to join him on a roadtrip that included Interbike, Woodward West, and San Diego. Wilson, never being one to back down from a challenge (or a free tattoo), naturally obliged.

There is a bunch of riding that we shot in and around Seattle with Phil and Wilson after the tattoo montage, so stay tuned!

Wilson Gets Branded

What would you do to join Phil Sundbaum on a roadtrip to Interbike? Would you tattoo the Haro logo on your body on a dare from Phil? Wilson did!



That's right, Wilson is the proud new owner of a Haro tattoo. We wanted to come up with something funny for him to do in order to earn his way to Interbike, and this is what we came up with---and what he agreed to do! If you remember, he tazered himself earlier in the year for a trip to Woodward, so we had to step it up for Vegas.



We also got some filming done over the past week as well, stay tuned for an edit of everything that went down.




In the meantime, here is the latest Summer Of Shred clip from New Zealand:

End of summer goodness

For the first time this summer I've actually been home for a couple weeks straight! So I've been busy riding all the local trails and dirt jumps and having so much fun! Yesterday was closing day at Deer Valley for lift accessed lift riding, so I made sure to be there for some runs with my friends, we were even lucky enough to get a quick shot of rain halfway through the day to put down the dust.

Another thing we've been doing is sessioning our new wooden lip we built. We just bring it around to a couple different spots and blast it! Unfortunately I don't have any action shots, but here's a couple setup shots so you can see what we're working with.

I've also been spending a bit of time at Ogio getting ready for the contest at Paul Basagoitia's house the weekend before interbike, it should be pretty fun. I'll put an update up about it right afterwards!

Porter @ Crankworx

Here's a video of Porter at Whistler for Crankworx this year...we took a little mission down Crank It Up and "cranked" out this clip for you. Enjoy!

Introducing "The Porter"...

Based on all the inquiries we're getting about this bike, we're re-posting the sneak peek. Can't stress how important it will be to talk to your local shop if you want one of these...just a small handful will be produced!


Now for the moment you have all been waiting for...details on the slopestyle bike! "The Porter" is about as close to an exact replica to the complete bike that Eric Porter rides. We most all the same parts he uses on his own bike. Yes, it's expensive! But like good wine and fast cars, most of the finer things in life are expensive.

This bike rocks. The pics don't do it justice at all!

I'll caution ya'll that we ordered VERY limited quantities of these. If you want one, talk to your local dealer. These are part of our 2010 line, so we'll be getting them into stock in the Fall.

Enjoy!

Summer Of Shred: CALI

Here it is, the complete Cali Roadtrip episode from Summer Of Shred. This shows how Wilson came to join the Haro family -- by not only tazering himself to get down to SoCal, but by working and riding super hard to "win" his first Steel Reserve frame from Phil. Porter and Blake are also featured in this clip, and Jill has a cameo at the end, too!
