Steve Woodward put on a how to trick the fuck out of a steep 3′ wide 6′ lip.
Last saturday I was unable to make it to Aptos for the Ham and Steeze Jam but I managed to make it down to San Diego where Beyond Bikes was throwing a Biketoberfest with free micro-brews, sausage BBQ, and a box jump demo. With Republik and SNAFU’s cash… Lobes A.K.A. Kalin Law and Brad Winger built a crazy steep “SPOX” with a 6′ lip and landing and a 5′ deck.
It was a challenge to ride and pretty scary but with locals “SPOX” shredders like Mike Montgomery and Steve Woodward living near by the show was on.
Here’s a few pics taken by Kalin Law… A.K.A. “LOBES”.
He’s a good boy.
Another new release for O’10 is the Killswitch print slim seat for something a little different.
The Lock-down end cap acts also as the end lock.
Also new for 2010 is the Lock-Down lock-on grip system. I wanted to tackle some of the issues I despise about lock-on grips such as why do we always have to feel that bolt that strips out instantly anyway??? We’ve hidden the inside clamp with a larger 3mm bolt head under a comfortable flange and used the end cap to act as the outer clamp utilizing a recessed set-screw. We’ve also made the grip a bit wider and they will be available in multiple colors.
1.5″ x 30″ x 31.8mm BadaBoom

If you’ve been itching to ride dirt, this is the weekend you’ve been waiting for. The Aptos locals are at it again and they’ve been getting sporadic rain so things are getting dialed in from what I’ve been told…
We’ll be there with Jim Tharp, R Dog, Lisa Myklak, Cob and the rest of the Nor Cal shredders…
Fuel the van, load the truck or pack the mule… but get there!!!
