Another Roadtrip

Another trip to the mountains of Germany. We didn't really shoot that many pics, but the few we did shoot are here. I guess I was the photographer, because im not on a single of the pics : D Anyway, we had 2 days in Braunlage Bikepark, and once again there was new features and improvements to find here. We also had a day in Schulenberg Bikepark, witch turned out to be quite surprisingly good for its size, I hope do do a small mashup-video that shows some of the lines, as well as adding some text to go along with it. First up, the few pics we did shoot from Braunlage:

Normally I crop pics to some extend, this one however, stands its own.

I wasn't the only one shooting pics..

Had this pic been in a higher resolution, It would probably be one of my best shots of the year. Note the couple sitting on the rock enjoying the view.

Some house-wife decided to strip her clothes outside the hotel, made the guys, old and young, (allmost) jump out of the window. Apparently, tits are still in.

Janus was riding aggressively, I could barely recognize him from our trail session earlier this year. I on the other hand, was taking it easy.

Braunlage Bikepark has been the place to destroy gear, this time was no different. My pedal slammed into a stone, so much so that the pedal thread got ripped out! Pedal itself was unharmed. Im currently trying to warrant it, ill keep you guys updated on that matter.

So without my left pedal arm, on the first day of riding, I had to think outside the box, spare SIXC crank arms are not particular easy to get hold of. I talked to the local bikeshop near the bikepark, and got this Hussefelt crank arm for a bit cash. Does it fit into the Raceface? No. Did we install it anyway? Yes. Did it work? Sorta - just be near an allen key at all times. I call it the "FrankenCrank", 175mm on the right side, 160mm on the left side - and constantly loose. It was.. interesting.
