Visit the site for tourdates, wallpapers and info on all the riders. I grabbed the teaser from youTube.com, but on the the site you’ll find better quality clips.

Vancouver, B.C. Geoff Gulevich signs a two year contract with Rocky Mountain Bicycles. This recently inked deal will see the Rocky Mountain Bicycles Team begin a new era of freeride. Geoff Gulevich (N. Vancouver) along with Kyle MacDonald (Whistler) and Andrew Sherry (Vancouver Island) will follow the big footsteps put down by Wade Simmons the “godfather of freeride”.

Rocky Mountain Bicycles has been an industry leader in the freeride/mountain bike industry since it’s inception in 1986. “Working closely with our athletes has always allowed us to develop the best bicycles possible, we are really excited with our team for this year”, said product manager Tim Mcdermott.

Wade as leader of the freeride team and long time legend will travel and supervise the burgeoning careers of these three young riders. Looking to spread his wings and expand his horizons Wade will be working more closely than ever with media and the inside team back at home base – Rocky Mountain Bicycles.

Geoff is one of the best young freeride talents in the world and he has appeared in many movies including New World Disorder, The Collective, and North Shore Extreme and is always a force at freeride events.

Kyle, is one of the youngest protégés to ever hit the slopestyle scene, he qualified 15th in 2006 at Crankworx Whistler.

Andrew Sherry a young up and comer from Vancouver Island will be hitting the slopes hard with his teammates and looking to learn a few new tricks.

Look for these Rocky Mountain Athletes to be hitting the slopes and movie screens throughout the summer and fall of 2008. Schedule of major events to include; Crankworkx Whistler, Crankworkx Colorado, Freeraid, Saalbach, Qashqai, Claw Invitational.

Finally mr. Flatline!

It’s here! The new Rocky Mountain Flatline. It’s a testbike from my sponsor, I get to check it out and say what I think of it. Some things needs tweaking, angle of handlebar and saddle of instance, but I can’t wait to get out there!

But, I’ve got all these horsepowers and no one to share it with! Holy sh*t… all my friends are up to something else. Luckily I’ve got plans to go to the Filthy Trails next week on saturday. And I will sneak out a ride this afternoon by my self if I have to (this is a thread, anybody reading this -you know who y’are- please be kind).

Rocky Mountain Flatline

Edit: just had my first date, a little fun on my local (petit) trail. Eventhough it’s an 18″ (my Switch is 16.5″) it feels compact and nimble. Acceleration is surprisingly easy. The Fox DHX 3.0 need tweaking though, the rear isn’t suiting my just yet. But it was a realy hot first date!

Entries Passportes du Soleil VTT are open

Yay! I just registered for the classic PPdS ride on sunday, starting in Morzine. I’m going with a group of friends and we got it pretty much sorted. The entries, getting there, staying there… only thing to do now is wait for it! Are you thinking of riding this years PPdS? Don’t think too long, the entries fill up pretty quick. Especially when you want to depart from Morzine or Les Gets.
