June AM

Been doing a ton of riding. My compact cam is broken so I dont shoot as much as im used to, still film a bit with my GOPRO tho'. Took out a few frames, check it out:

I really appreciate a good chasing-session, definitely improves on tech and speed. Christian always provide a good challenge. Oh did I mention its a ton of fun?

Never too shy to do a small flip when I get the opportunity  : ) Christian right in front of me.

After 2 rebuilds, I finally got a working Monarch RT3 2011. Its still getting bedded in, but initial impressions are very positive, it has a very interesting progression curve. Stay tuned for a preview.

    @Komondor, I still want to run the Point One Racing Pedals, but the "Long-version-Pins" are out of stock, so im still waiting for them to arrive.

    V.P.

    do you still consider that the the point one pedals are worth the price when consider for example with the superstar that you are running at this moment that the cost is 3 times inferior?

    Hi there Komondor, I would propably go for something completely different eg; The new Spank pedals, or wait a bit for the new Straitline AM pedals. Just to try something new. These pedals where not an option for me at the time, so I went for the Podiums again.

    aa ok.
    I will wait for your review of the superstar.

    The straitline AM I would not buy because they run in bushings and my experience with the straitline for dh is that they are not worth the money.
    They only run fine in dry weather.
