Evomo Rider Profile: Michael Takahashi
by Bryan on September 21st, 2007
Michael Takahashi is the latest rider to join the Evomo DH Team for 2008. Recently he and Brett Miller both won the overall points in the beginner/sport FOX Racing SHOX Downhill category at the Nationals at Sugar Mountain. This is a great accomplishment for both Takahashi and Miller and its an awesome motivator for taking it to the next level in the 2008 season.
The other day we had a chance to learn a bit about what Michael Takahashi has been up to and where he is going. He always loved riding bicycles as a kid and grew up riding BMX bikes and building jump ramps with his friends. Here is a little interview…
Old bikes still go fast.

So here in AZ you have to get out early to beat the heat in September. Yea it sucks but what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger….and angrier like say when you and your training partner get jumped by 20 roadies rolling on tubular tires and 7000 dollar bikes. Let it be known that the Hosman brothers while good mountain bikers who take great pride in our Blingtastick mountain bikes are not so hip to the road side of things. I ride a 2002 Scattante from SuperGo that I am proud to say has never seen the in side of a shop from the day she was bought. Travis is rockin a 1995 Lemond Steel frame with eight speed. The road has been a means to an end and not…
Crashing Sucks

About three weeks ago Pro-Mountain Bike Racer Tara Llanes crashed at the Jeep King of the Mountain race in Vail, Colorado. She was airlifted to Denver Health Hospital, where she underwent 7 hours of surgery to correct massive trauma in her lower back. She also has a C-7 fracture which was deemed stable prior going into surgery.
The Weight Weenie Nitrous

I love my Turner Nitrous. I have been riding and racing this bike for 2 years now and there’s no end in sight. This frame is the foundation but I am always remodeling it by swapping out parts. It keeps me from getting distracted by all of the new carbon bike propaganda. Sure, I’ve kept up with the news on all of the carbon bikes out there but as of right now, for the money, you really can’t find a better XC rig than the Nitrous.
The SoCal Heatwave has Passed
by Bryan on September 10th, 2007
Yesterday Rob and I hit Chesebro without our portable air conditioning units. Since the over 100 degree heat wave has passed, we felt we didn’t really need the extra weight. Last weekend was unbearable and has Travis from Arizona posted, it was like hot enchiladas in our bike shorts…
