From The Inside Out Official Trailer
Many past films, riders, and locations have inspired us. Some of those locations are now our backyards, and some of those riders are now our friends. From the Inside Out is our adventure to the places we've always wanted to ride, and our expression of the lines and styles that have influenced us. This is freeride mountain biking. This film is from us – the riders. Written, directed and edit by The Coastal Crew and produced by Anthill Films, From the Inside Out was filmed entirely in British Columbia, the birthplace of freeride, and features some of the sport's best riders, including: Brandon Semenuk, Steve Smith, Thomas Vanderham, Matt Hunter, Graham Agassiz, Mike Hopkins, Kenny Smith & The Coastal Crew.
Available on Special Edition DVD + BluRay and iTunes December 1st, 2011.

2011 Zerode G-1 Impressions
;)
So we have had the Zerode G-1 built up now for about 4 months. I have had ample time on the bike so far and a few new people have had some saddle time on the bike also. Overall the bike had some very strong points and a few quirks.
Building the bike was very easy. It has a 12mm by 150mm rear wheel. A 1.5" headtube we went with the Chris King variety there. Then we ran a Thomson 30.9mm seatpost. It takes 2 chains but actually uses one complete and about 1/3 of the other chain. The build quality of the bike is excellent and should be since it is being made at SAPA in Oregon.

Leading cycling brands will be showing off the newest and best cycling services and products available to consumers.
2011 Parkfield Classic
The 2011 Parkfield Classic kicked off this past weekend. It is located about an hour and a half North/East of San Luis Obispo. The event is the official kickoff to the Collegiant race series. Typically turnout for the race is a majority of College students.
This year the campground was not too loud. People stayed up late had a good time and shared BBQ tips and techniques at the neighbors grill while sucking down cheap beers. The pixie bike race somehow turned into a jump contest and a few competitors were throwing 360's and tail-whips over the wood ramps.
