First up is the brand spanking new issue of Privateer magazine. if you haven’t seen this mag yet, you are missing out. It’s a completely different styles of mag and a worthy read.

You will need the following:

Privateer mag.

A big mug of tea

A lrg pack of biscuits or cake.

A comfy chair.

New from DMR is the improved Wingbar. It is now a member of the 35mm club looks stylish in Nickel, new graphics, and is quite light. Already fitted to the bike.. But hang on., Surely you need a stem too?

Indeed you do.

This is the new Defy stem, Available in 31.6 and 35mm as seen here. It’s light, wide, has a unique steerer clamping system, low stack height and is very minimalist.

This the NEW Hans Dampf. It features a few upgrades from last year. Aimed at Enduro racing but I can’t see why you can’t use it for Free ride and some Downhill racing/razzing. It’s Tubeless ready, has the oh so sticky Vert star compound and is a bit tougher and is in the Super Gravity range too.

Still sporting the same tread pattern which works pretty well everywhere more often than not. After all if it ain’t broke..

 In the first in a new series we catch up with a old friend of ours Richard Dean. I first meet Rich some years ago at a HTN unofficial HT champs. He was feverishly fixing bikes for the DMR/Upgrade boys. Every run someone would roll in with something bust or in need of a tweak. Rich being Rich cracked on and got them out again. One of the DMR boy’s even won the coveted HTN unofficial Ht jacket ( even after a huge off and a cracked hip).

Then it all went quiet. No word nor sign was seen until just last year. Rich is back at DMR working hard behind the scenes and with a Nipper/shredder called Stan to look after he still finds time to build up a rather special new bike. It’s a Prototype . So here’s What Rich has done. Enjoy

  How the hell do you write an intro for someone like this. They are world famous.. I mean literally. Well as far as the world of Push bikes is concerned. He has bags of style, a Trick bag as big as a Postmans sack, Isn’t afraid to, as the kids say “Send it”, and quite often by throwing a crazy move in there. He has taken some really hard slams, ( watch From Where The Trail Ends).  Whilst he is well known for throwing a Full susser full tilt down various mountains either for Filming or in the name of competition he is also more than a little handy on a Hardtail too.

  I think I first saw him in a NWD film or similar pulling a Manual down some steps and hitting a wallride way up around the 6 ft mark and ghosting his bike. It was a while ago and since then he has evolved into one a of the best Freeriders out there.  He seems to be always up to something usually fast and fun.  From what I remember he has an awesome backyard too. 

 Like I said at the start it’s a tricky thing to write an intro to someone you have seen on numerous dvd’s but as yet never meet. Well I guess sometimes you just have let their words speak for themselves. It gives me great honour to ask one of the coolest,nicest and down right stylish riders out there. ” Who are you?”
