Oh Ya I have a blog

Some guy named Brandon Semenuk rides bikes and drives a Subaru around in this edit. He's pretty ok at bikes I guess. Maybe almost as good as this girl even. 

Trevor Porter

Trevor is a really nice guy. This is a video about him. 

Allow me to introduce… Myself.
Kona is a company packed with amazing and talented people. People with families, people with cool interests and as you probably guessed, a whole bunch of people that ride. We want you to meet these people face to face, to get to know them and have a look behind the scenes to see what makes everyone here tick.
To kick things off in our new My Kona series of videos we’d like to introduce you to Trevor Porter. Trevor works out of our Canadian office. Like most of us at Kona, he handles a few different responsibilities. Trevor is the sales rep for British Columbia, works in the Kona Product Group and takes care of Canadian SuperGrass riders. But he can tell you all that (and more) in person.

Squamish BC, 19/20th March 2015
"CLIMATE - Squamish is one of the wettest inhabited locations in Canada, with nearly 2,400 millimetres (94 in) of rainfall per year, often falling in long stretches through the winter. Snow is not typical in winter" Source: Wikipedia

Desperate to ride bikes and escape the snow, James Doerfling headed south to Squamish in search of dirt.

This guy totally sucks at bikes. Did you see his hands fly off the bars at 1:11 and all those skids and things. Not cool at all.

You might be surprised to know that the rider who has become synonymous with stylish whips made his first-ever trip to Whistler to play hockey. That’s right, recent winner of the Oceana Whip-Off Championships at Crankworx Rotorua, Ryan Howard, wasn’t always the master of two wheels we now

Up and Down Squamish

Up and Down Squamish features a thrilling trail ride loop on Diamond Head in Squamish, BC. Shot in sequence, this 30km loop takes around 2-3 hours, hits 6 trails, climbs a total of 1500 metres (nearly 5000’), and rewards you with 10 km of descent. Enjoy a mix of hand built trails and machine built trails that have been made possible by SORCA, Dream Wizards, and countless volunteer hours.

The first trail on the loop is called Power Smart. Located at a high elevation and off the beaten path, this trail has endured more damage caused by water than by cycling, dirt biking, hiking, or even horse riding. This trail is wild, with lots of steep, technical switchbacks and loose rocks the size of your head. During most of the year water runs down the trail, you’ll be sure to get your feet wet. It’s not a popular trail that gets ridden very much and it is in dire need of repair. This trail is a lot of fun to ride though, be sure to hang on tight. Power Smart feeds into IMBA Smart. There are nice long corners and well planned switchbacks on this trail. Enjoy a descent followed by a bit of climbing as you pass from mature forest to areas of regrowth. Carve around narrow round corners, cross tidy bridges, and have a fast exit! This trail is another hand built gem in the Sea to Sky Corridor. Next is a trail called Fred. This is a good XC trail that has a few punchy climbs, some short, steep descents, and lots of technical turns. The more you ride it the more you’ll discover the flow built into this trail. It gets better every time you ride it. Ongoing maintenance continues to improve the drainage and speed.



Tinder is next; it is the obvious way to connect Fred and Your Mom. A brand new machine built trail by Dream Wizards, it features bermed corners, braided climb lines, table top jumps, split cedar river crossings, and manageable grade climbs. Cruise through fresh clear cut and enter the mature forest! Your Mom is a real charm. Here you will find lovely curves and corners. Beware of adjacent borrow pits as one false move means you’ll be buried alive. The gentle terrain carries good speed, but watch out because there are corners that will catch you if you’re going too fast. You will finish on Phil and Cams which is also the bottom of Pseudo-Tsuga. This piece of trail rewards you for all the hard work you’ve put in. Enjoy easily acquired speed, bermed corners, rollers, and optional gap lines as you cruise down to the bottom parking lot. People will be watching, so be sure to pick off the last gap to berm.

Thanks to Dunbar Cycles and Transition Bikes for making this video project possible. Thanks to SORCA for overseeing and maintaining the vast Squamish trail network. Thanks to Dream Wizards for the addition of Tinder Trail this summer. If you feel obligated please purchase a trail pass and/or donate to SORCA for increased maintenance and further trail development at SORCA on Trailforks. - Sid Slotegraaf

Ho! Ho! Ho! The boys from Mongoose delivering the goods….

From the UK to California, the whole Mongoose crew helped deliver a holiday miracle in this edit. On his way to drop off the very last package of the year, Santa gets a little too excited riding trails that he gets a flat and can’t finish the job. So what does he do? He calls the Mongoose Express to lend a helping hand. Watch Greg Illingworth, Kevin Peraza, Paul Ryan, Steve McCann, Greg Watts, Chris Akrigg, and Mike Montgomery make sure they get the parcel to the right place all while riding a few great places along the way. Ben Wallace is still recovering with his knee so he gets to sit by a pool sipping on a fancy drink.

Shouldn't have bought your bike at Walmart Kelly...

Kelly Slamming at Rampage practice Thursday night before qualifying, went a little to big.

I cannot remember if I posted this already. If I did... Who cares. Watch it again.

Bas

This is an 'enduro' edit for Deity with Bas van Steenbergen somewheres in a sunny desert like location. Lots of good bike action in this one including a nosepress to manual through some rollers that was super impressive.

Summer is on the way...

Cross-country mountain biking is all about going fast. It's about racing and winning and beating your buddies and throwing the hammer down. It's also about having a blast riding singletrack. We took the racing gear off, and the heart rate monitors, and took our featherlight carbon Kona XC Race Light bikes--the Hei Hei Supreme, Hei Hei Deluxe, and King Kahuna on a little spin through the wilds of Maui. Because at Kona, we can't make it super fast without having it be really fun.

jackal

This edit sums up what its like riding hardtails with your buddies. pumptracking, dirt jumping, hitting skateparks and just having fun on a simple bike is what its all about

Santa Cruz’s Jackal has been around for some time now, but hey why change something for the sake of it, especially when it’s already pretty rad. To kind of celebrate this longstanding gem, Santa Cruz decided to get Logan Peat and Josh Bryceland over to Santa Cruz, chuck them in Joe Graney’s classic1949 GM 4101 Union Pacific Streamliner, give them a couple of Jackal’s, and show them around…9Still using its original super-charged two-stroke straight-six Detroit Diesel power plant connected to a Spicer 4-speed manual transmission, the “Crazy Train” is the last running coach of ten, made for ferrying passengers from Union Pacific’s Los Angeles terminal in the fifties and sixties.Still using unique sliding dropouts to accommodate gears or single speeds, connected to the frame via compact chainstays on a super-strong asymmetrical yoke, the Jackal was made for ferrying passengers over dirt jumps, street obstacles, amusement parks and anything else you might encounter on a rampage around town.

Gully

Geoff rides nearly every single genre of mountain biking in this short but entertaining edit for Rocky Mountain cycles. enjoy

Is Gully the most well-rounded rider on the Shore? What’s going to happen when he does actually start pedaling?

Hydrofoil bike

We aren't strangers to flying bicycles. Remember that indoor helicopter? or that other one? or that otherone that only flies into a treehouse? Well, I've been looking for a bike that flies on water so this is great. Check out this cool hydrofoil bike ripping around in this video from the deep dark interweb. I love weird bikes.

Instinct in the Monashees

Nice Fall winter edit featuring the godfather Wade Simmons and Lambert rep/xc racer Kevin Calhoun

The plan was to head to the Monashee Mountains near Revelstoke, British Columbia with Wade Simmons and Kevin Calhoun to shoot an autumn alpine video for our new Instinct MSL. We wanted to showcase the bike’s versatility under two very different riders—Kevin is an XC racer on our Factory Team, while Wade’s contributions to freeride mountain biking need no introduction—.
Of course sometimes Mother Nature doesn’t play nice, and an early cold snap provided on-and-off snowfall throughout our adventure.
Despite the challenging weather, we knew we had an opportunity to capture a unique aspect of the changing seasons. From Kevin’s dawn patrol ascent to Wade charging snowy trail features, the rapidly changing conditions ended up being the perfect way to showcase the Instinct’s versatility.
We’d like to thank the crew at the Sol Mountain Lodge for all their help with this project. Their lodge was a great base-camp and their trails were a blast even in the snow. We’ll be back again in warmer weather.
Thanks for watching, Love the Ride!

WILDCAT

Manon Carpenter seems to have had bit of turn and become some sort of wild woodland cat for this edit. Aboard the Saracen Kili Flyer she’s pinning it through the woods being chased by Liam Murphy’s camera. Happy Halloween! For one night only @manoncarpenter is the Wildcat. A film by @liammurphyfilms
