Transition Bikes is pleased to announce the launch of their highly anticipated Factory Race program!

To aid in this new direction Transition has hired Lars Sternberg as an athlete, and team director. Joining Lars on the squad is the world renowned duo of Jill Kintner, and Bryn Atkinson. In her first year racing professional Downhill, Jill will bring the fitness and bike handling skills that have made her an Olympic BMX Bronze Medalist and 4X World Champion to a whole new riding discipline. With many years experience racing at the Elite level, Bryn is a regular top ten finisher in World Cup rounds. Together they will embark on one of the most progressive schedules in 2010. While Bryn will be attacking the downhill World Cup circuit, Jill and Lars will be setting their sights on the North American race scene. In between World Cup rounds Bryn will be returning to join the team for key North American events.

This is a review and report of the following POC products that I've used for last season; Spine VPD Tee, Hip VPD Shorts, Bone VPD Leg, Bone Arm, Joint Ankle, Cortex Flow, Index DH and Iris DH goggles.

I started riding downhill last summer and I ended up buying a full set of POC armor and an Orange 224 evolution DH-bike. Since then I've been riding any time that I've had free time. Basically I have tested all the equipment I bought by crashing with them on, so I thought it would be good to write a review. I've taken pictures of each product after one season and I've also included pictures of my injuries that I've had while wearing this armor. I've also put some of my ideas on how to develop the products further. By the way I'm from Finland so excuse my grammatical errors.

A brief recap of my 2009 race season with Calgary Cycle.

My 2009 race season has come and gone so quickly, and I can't believe that it's almost New Years time. Before you know it, we'll all be back in the saddle and ready to race for 2010! 2009 was one of the best seasons for me - being fortunate enough to get out to all the races that I wanted to attend, has always been a goal for me, and 2009 was no exception.

Everyone I talk to about what I do for a living is blown away. "You do photos and video work for a living?" is usually the answer I get, and when I respond to them with "Yes, basically" they respond with "wow, if only...". Out of everything I saw myself doing after school, sitting at a desk working for the largest mountain biking website in the world was not in my top 5, or even 15, but I can honestly say it has effected me in an extremely positive way.

As my position revolves a fair amount around journalism I get to go on some fun trips, however, my most recent trip to Aptos California was my first solo trip on behalf of Pinkbike, so...

Myself and the riders in this movie hail from the seaside town of Wollongong, which lies a good hour south of Sydney, Australia. It is tucked between mountain peaks, miles of beaches and lush rain-forests. Wollongong is an indigenous Australian term for "Land between mountain and sea" which is how the name for the movie came about. It was like bread and butter to me, the name just meshed with the theme of the movie, and seemed to pick up a great response region wide.

Ryan Howard is not a huge name in the mountain bike industry, however his name is well known around the dirt jump scene. Coming out of Aptos, California, Ryan Howard is one of the most butter smooth, dialed, and stylish riders I have ever seen.

How music can affect a rider and their biking journey - Drop in to the beat!

From the rowdiest of metal to the most gangster of rap, music has an influence on how people ride their bikes. With the capability of having thousands of songs at ones finger tip music has become part of the lifestyle of biking. Some find it amazing to ride with music and others rather the sounds of nature. Personally, I enjoy both, but when the mood is right I plug in, and drop in. Since biking videos have been around people have enjoyed riding to the song of their favourite rider or segment from a video. Music has become more apparent in the biking world and there is no doubt that it will continue to grow with the biking industry.

It has become no secret that I fell in bike love with the Ibis Mojo this past season and for good reason. No other bike in recent years has made me want to get out and ride more than that shiny carbon two wheeler that I spent the better portion of my season on.

Once it was my turn to move on, I found out about the Mojo HD - since that time I've been looking forward to riding one and seeing if it would live up to my Mojo experience.

This summer I broke my foot in Whistler and was wondering what I was going to do to stay in the biking scene. I was lucky enough not to get a cast, but end up in a "Robo Boot". I decided that if I couldn't ride, I would film. I knew that there was a lot of competitions and big jams coming up that would be great for filming. That's where the idea for Team OK came up, it was kind of a spur of the moment idea and it turned out way bigger than I thought with over 3000 views on the teaser! I couldn't of asked for more.
