John Beutner of Indiana pulled the win with a 180 Lookback.Ī new contest added to the Halloween Jam this year was ‘High Air on Boomers’ and the competition was fierce! Mere inches separated competitors Cody Diggs, Clint Reynolds and John Beutner, but in the end Cody Diggs pulled off the win. The 3rd annual ‘Schwantz Best Trick Contest’ was absolute mayhem, including Decades, Double Whips, a Big Daddy Bike Transfer and celebrity judging from Cory Nastazio. This weekend was the perfect opportunity to make up for lost time, laps were never-ending and many riders rode into dusk, holding on to any last bit of sunshine. Pennsylvania’s summer rainstorms have wreaked havoc on many trail riding sessions. The Athertons and all their team were being square as usual, so we hit the town without them, but with several top names from the world of bikes.The woods of Catasauqua, PA were filled with changing leaves, witches, cowboys, and 20 inch bicycles for the weekend of October 20th, 2018. I went down with Doc and my friend Bicks, we took full advantage of the free alcohol at the very cool Red Bull headquarters in a swanky part of the big smoke. It’s been pretty full-on for me this year, the most article creating fun I had was probably the 2014 Team GT Factory Racing Launch, held in London very early last year. There couldn’t be a better season ending! (Editors note: Somehow Robin forgot to mention that he got this Sprinter stuck in the mud!) This awesome castle was the venue for the Design & Innovation Award 2015 Riding the awesome trails was part of the DI.A 2015 congress too Exciting discussions with experienced riders and engineers Jim Buchanan, UK Editor, Shrewsbury (UK) My season highlight was the Design & Innovation Award 2015 in Latsch (South Tyrol) for sure! With more than 100 participating brands, our 25-person crew was involved in tech-talks all night long, it was certainly an exciting time! And of course: great trails, the best parts and bikes and cool people! What could you want more? Of course I was happy too when we finally packed the Sprinter again and left with a lot of new knowledge. The mandatory ice cream at the beach at the end of the day made it perfect! Robin Schmitt, Director, Stuttgart (GER) While our local trails in Germany were still covered in snow, we spent four days under the warm Italian sun, testing the fastest bikes in the world against the clock, under the instruction of EWS proven racer Manuel Ducci. Manuel Ducci showed us the fastest lines One of the EWS stages in Finale was the ultimate test for the high-end racebikes Each of them was a real Highlight, because – let’s be honest – could there be anything better than shooting the greatest bikes in the world, in some of the most beautiful locations and I even get to test them afterwards! The most remarkable production was the EWS-Racebike test in Finale Liguria though. Best vegetable ever! Christoph Bayer, Chief Editor Germany, Murnau (GER)īeing a photographer, I attended many events and took part in a lot of photo productions for our test and travel stories. Oh, and the ‘flaming meat tree’ dinner was pretty epic too. After a small mutiny and a big coffee, ‘Team Yeti’ saved the day by taking us up an epic Alpine trail full of dusty corners, huge exposure and lashings of cow shit. He proceeded to lead our group of journos up an impossible hike-a-bike climb, and then down a super slow speed, rocky descent, perfect for a trials bike, but maybe not for testing a trail bike. Of course the bike itself was really good, but most memorable was the grumpy French guide who was brought in at the last minute to show us some Valloire trails. It was a busy year for me in 2014, with many highlights but I think what stands out the most is covering the Yeti Switch Infinity Launch. It was a day full of exciting tech talk, interesting analyses and some surprises! Detailed analyses of each protector Trev Worsey, Chief Editor UK, Innerleithen (UK) It’s amazing how complex an apparent simple product turns out, especially when you take a closer look under lab conditions. Aaron Steinke, Web Director, Stuttgart (GER)Ģ014 was a blast! I raced a lot, found great new places and learned a lot of interesting stuff! Besides all the reporting from different races, the lab testing we did at SAS-TECH for the knee Protector Test in Issue #009 was one of my personal highlights.
