Marin Bikes 2012 Mount Vision from Marin Bikes on Vimeo.
Pretty awesome videos showcasing the 2012 Marin Mount Vision, an all-mountain bike designed to do-it-all.
This video really makes me miss my old Marin, a 2001 Rocky Ridge. The bike was my first real mountain bike, and it left me with a life-long cycling bug. Hopefully the chap I sold it to in the UK grew just as fond of it. Damn, that was 11 years ago…

The White Canvas Project is coming to Los Angeles for its second round and will feature the works of Leba, Food One, Koffinz, Memuco, Death Spray Custom, David Walker & SheOne – I can’t wait to see some coverage!
The event takes place on February 24th at the iam8bit gallery in W.Sunset, LA.
Oh yes – Death Spray Custom, one of my favorites, has this way of consistently blending art and functionality into anything he works on; much of which has to do with 2-wheeled mobility. Just take a look at some of DSC’s work here.
“A dose of dry wit and automotive urethane paint is the chosen medium for DSC (Death Spray Custom). Brought up in Wales on a diet of two wheels, DSC often works in themes of subversion and desire, often in the world of mobility. The results are simple, striking and shiny pieces of work that purposefully blur the lines between art, brands and consumerism.”
Check out the video from the first four-day paint jam and get an idea of what to expect (if you’re luck enough to be in LA for this).

“It doesn’t matter, how good a descent is. At the end, I always ask the same question: Is there a better one? In order to find a final answer, we traveled to the Valais. This is the story of our search.” Film Von Draussen
I’ve only been downhilling a handful of times, but during those dozen or so experiences I found myself quickly seeking out the fast and tech. Sometimes too quickly. My progression plateaued after a few over the bars and into the woods crashes.

Independent Fabrication from Logan Hodson on Vimeo.
A really nicely done video by Logan Hodson looking into the daily grind up at Independent Fabrications. Ever since they’d moved from Boston, I’d wanted to know what the new diggs looked like and this video confirms my predictions – they’re still on their game.
