Hey! I just got back from a short little trip to Michigan’s upper peninsula. KP, Leep, Brady and myself took a journey from Chicago to the Northwoods of Michigan the past 4 days. We stopped at parks and
street spots along the way. Honestly this trip could have been 2 weeks longer and I wouldn’t have minded. It was tons of fun searching for new street spots, riding parks, hanging out with local riders and most importantly, just being rugged. We crossed the Mackinaw bridge (one of the longest bridges in the US), rode fun stuff, laughed constantly,had no electricity (but used a generator to grind coffee of course), went off-roading, caught some air in a Geo tracker, chopped wood for the fire and loads of other fun up north stuff. We didn’t even realize that amidst our hour trek down a muddy road that our bikes were getting caked with mud on the way home. Power washing was the only option… desperate times call for desperate measures haha. Here are some photos by dave leep and the rest are from my digi cam. I can’t wait to go back again sometime!

 

Our new Sigma bars will be in stock next week. They have an 8 5/8″ rise, 28 1/4″ width, 12° backsweep, and 1° upsweep. Colors available: black, white, red, and blue.

Here is a quick update on our Race Team from Josh Smith. “This past weekend Tommy, Jeremy, and Jarred went to the ABA Race in North Carolina and killed it. Tommy won 17-18x both days. Jarred took a 5th and 7th in the USAC Jr. Development race, and won both days in 13x. Jeremy ended up with a 4th and a 6th in the USAC Jr. Development, and took 2nd both days in his first weekend as a 15 year old x. I went up to Akron and felt awesome all weekend, but a blow up and a crash in the mains ended me up with a 5th and an 8th. The next big race everyone is looking forward to is the NBL Grands in 3 weeks.

I attached some cool photos of us as well. Some are of me in Akron, and the others are of a Pro/Am in Louisville 2 weeks ago, and of us all riding the pro section in practice.”

Drew Bezanson shut down woodward with this one. Check out the magic. FYI- The music is not family friendly. Drew is though.
