csteen Added a new video C3 Project in Les Deux Alpes

7/15/2015 12:24pm
Trek C3 riders Brett Rheeder, Brandon Semenuk, and Tom van Steenbergen take on the slopestyle course at the second Crankworx stop in Les Deux Alpes, France.
Follow Curtis Keene and Darren Berrecloth as they head to Ainsa, Spain to ride Zona Zero. More than just a place, Zona Zero is a group of passionate trail riders that have been building trails in the region for more than 11 years. The 1,000 kilometers of trails follow medieval village paths that traverse the surrounding foothills of the Pyrenees. Where you see a hill in this area, there is a trail on it intersecting with ruins so often that each ride is almost equal parts archaeology and mountain biking.

csteen Added a new video Smashing Whistler Bike Park Tech Trails

7/14/2015 3:43pm
There's been so much talk about Crank It Up, A-Line, and Dirt Merchant when discussing Whistler Bike Park lately, but what about all the technical stuff? Some riders may be all about high speed and big air, but for others the root infested single-track, intricate granite features, and steep rough terrain is what gets the blood flowing. In this video, Whistler Bike Park goes back to their roots (literally) where the technical riding is what started it all. Video by – Goldstein Productions Athletes – Whistler Mountain Bike Park team riders: Lula Darquier, Peter Matthews, and Trevor Berg

csteen Added a new video Downhilling on Val del Diaol

7/10/2015 11:05am
Three riders mobbing down Val del Diaol (The Devil's Valley, aka The Skull), one of the most famous downhill tracks on Northern Garda Lake: 4.5 km long with a mix of very fast 'n flowy and technical rock sections.
In this episode of Inside Specialized Racing, the team is at Lenzerheide, Switzerland, one of only a few combined DH and XC World Cups in 2015. On race day, the DH track was dusty and loose which was compounded by it being a new course for both the circuit and the riders. This didn't stop either Troy Brosnan or Aaron Gwin from putting in strong performances, however, with the pair ultimately taking 4th and 8th respectively. From the XC side, Lea Davison took 2nd, her best World Cup result of her career, and Jaroslav Kulhavý, with his 2nd World Cup...

csteen Added a new video Enduro2 - Alpine Enduro Racing in Teams of Two

7/6/2015 8:33am
Taking a fresh approach on the established Enduro format, this 3-day stage race covering about 100km and over 12,000m of vertical descent is quite different from most other Enduro Races you’ve seen. With the new world of big sponsorship deals and huge media attention brought by the E.W.S. and other ultra-professional, global events, organizers felt that the idea of ‘just having fun’ and ‘shredding great trails with your mates’ has been somewhat diluted. They missed the idea of simply adventuring with your best riding buddy; in starting and finishing together on all the fun parts, not merely on the liaisons...

Andreu is flying in this no intro, no music, no slowmo video from FERAL Riders, and not his normal flying through the air. With speed like this, should he be racing?

See the construction and the first laps on the Velosolutions Asphalt BMX Pump Track in Grenchen. Powered by Swiss Cycling and Velodrome Suisse. The national cycling federation Swiss Cycling, based in the Velodrome Suisse in Grenchen, wanted to add another training facility to their headquarters. It had to be a full asphalt BMX training track with olympic sized start tower, a Velosolutions asphalt pump track, beginners jumps, plus a sprint and exercise area, all together on 8000m². Once again, Velosolutions couldn’t resist the challenge and took it. It turned out the biggest challenge was not the actual construction of the...

With just one small window of opportunity to get the shot he had dreamed about, Rutger and the team spent days scouring to select the perfect location. This video gives a behind the scenes look at how they found the spot and how they managed to capture the shot.
