Me – “So did you get any riding pics of the Alone team this weekend?”
Bakos – “No. My facebook, me and Manuel in hate Tshirts gettin drunk and me chowing down with a girl”
Thanks for nothing Bakos. Hate hate hate hate

Give it a watch!
Our new prototype frames will be in testing with the team shortly… The aim for this is to make a clean no gimmics frame thats going to stand up to abuse. We’ll let you know some more details on the specs etc soon!!
So, some people are at NASS this weekend (all tailwhips, wife beater tops and monster new era hats according to Ben)… the rest of us are going to enjoy the summer sun and get a ride in. Above is a pic of Lee from last Sunday.
