Killswitch update


Here’s a quick update on the Killswitch. After several months of successful testing, we made a few adjustments. Most notably was removing the adjustable head angle steer tube. Testing proved to me the 90* headset is too temperamental for our application. Other than that we lost some weight in several overbuilt areas and I’m looking forward to the new production sample.
Until then here’s the new Killswitch webpage.

Cartel… Japan part 2

Like I said… “Clean.”

Sorry for my lack of reader rides… I’ve been slammed with tons of other thangs like web edits and photo editing but I’ll try to be more diligent about it in 2010 as we’ll have a section dedicated to your pics.
Until then, here’s Tetsuwa’s clean 06 Mob out of Chiba, Japan.

Erik Tipton has been an SHL since the beginning… 45 & stylish…
Today as we were riding across the Hamilton Ave. bridge on our way to Sheep Hills, Chad asked “How long has Sheep been here?” Hmmm…. A long damn time… I have been riding Sheep Hills on and off since 91’… the longest off time being the 4 years Taylor and I built at Hidden.
Sheep Hills has been one of the main staples in So. Cal. BMX trail riding since I’m guessing the early 80’s and still continues to provide an amazing backdrop for photos and a great place to ride with friends. I’ve had literally countless EPIC days “ridin’ Sheep” until dark and had the opportunity to ride with most of the SHL’s past & present… today was the first time I’ve ever shot photos there myself and was stoked at the results. Hope you dig…

Random Boost

Nick Brandreth sent this photo to me a few weeks ago and I keep meaning to post it and keep slacking… so here it is. Adam blasts the hell out of a small quarter during a recent Hackettstown session. Which of these is not like the other???

So. Cal. Christmas Riding Mash-Up

So. Cal. Christmas Riding Mash Up 2009 from carter holland on Vimeo.

It’s a So. Cal. Christmas… celebrated with friends riding trails and park. Sheep Hills is on another come back from the dead thanks to a new group of locals and a resurgence of original S.H.L.’s. Sheep has always been the one place where the vibe is pretty loose even if it’s your first time there… just patch your divot. P.S. opening clip is from x-mas 08 at Gavilan.

Bada Booms spotted…

Aaron throwin’ down at the Aptos Step-up..


I was just checking out Decline and saw a nice press release announcing Aaron Chase is now on X-Fusion now too.
Nice to see X-Fusion making it out of the shadows of the big guys. BlkMrkt has been on X-Fusion since they opened their doors… One notable from the AC PR is Aaron’s choice of bars… check it…

A walk in the park…

I’m pretty stoked right now… I picked up a Flip HD camera the other day after buying a total failure of a camera for my trip to Austin last month. This thing is badass and I’m lovin’ it. I took Zeus out to Irvine Oaks for a little trail ride yesterday… Here’s the result. It’s my first attempt at a web edit… hope you dig it…
