I headed down to the Snake Pit to get in a late afternoon session with Chad Carothers and Jason Peters snappin’ pics for a future ad.
While we were there are met another dude who happened to be on a murdered
Contraband, set-up with i think was a lowered 831. Not sure… I’ll have to wait for the pics.
By the way… I’m riding the actual production bike with stock X-Fusion 02 RCX and I cannot wait until people get a chance to ride this bike.
It never fails to put a huge smile on my face!!! I hope it works for you too… it does for me.
Jason sent these over as a tease I think… more to come.

Adam shreads the Back Gnar… not quite sure about the skateafarian or the confidence inspiring message but it sure is a kick ass photo.

Cover/Birthday Boy Adam Hauck or at least his likeness…

I meant to post this Saturday but I’ve been totally slammed… not a bad thing!!! Things are definitely on the rise with Spring fast approaching.
But, Saturday was Adam’s 23rd birthday and what better gift than to get the cover of the June issue of Decline magazine??? How about the cover, a 2 page How-To-Foot Jam Whip sequence, a 2 page spread of your new back yard ghetto ramp set-up complete with a skateafarian and a full page Atomlab ad… that’s what!!!
Holy shit!!! That’s a serious amount of coverage… nice work Adam and Nick B.
on a more serious note.
I have to tell you Adam has been through it all and put it on the line for us and we appreciate everything he does for us though he would be doing it even if it wasn’t for the million dollar contract and glamourous life of an MTB professional. Adam and I travel together more than any other person in my life and I’m grateful for that…
Happy Birthday Adam.





If there was one common consensus at the After Jam besides how ridiculous the trails were… it was… there are way too many Go Pro’s strapped to everyone. But after seeing this edit I’m kind of glad they did it.
Enjoy a new perspective on riding trails, or not…
