Back from Taiwan by MED

I am on the way back from another Taiwan trip for production control. Everything looks fine on the parts and frames for this batch of 2008 products. Coming Chinese New Year creates a little delay so, within 3 weeks, orders will be shipped to our kind distributors.


Je suis sur le chemin du retour d'un autre voyage à Taiwan pour un contrôle de la production. Tout semble en ordre pour les pièces et les cadres de cette 2e vague de produits 2008. L'arrivée proche du Nouvel An Chinois décalle un peu les expéditions vers les distributeurs. D'ici à 3 semaines, les bateau prendront le large.

I pretty much don't know what Kiki (a.k.a Clément Granier) is doing lately, i'm sure he is flipping something, somewhere. He is also working on a webpart. But i doubt this one will be out soon.



Je ne sais pas vraiment ce que fait Kiki en ce moment, il doit certainement faire quelques backflips quelque part. Il filme aussi une webpart, par contre pas sur qu'elle soit bientôt en ligne...





Freddy Bermond just built a green 08 Newdeal, bike check soon, and Antony is working hard. Freddy and Antony are now playing in a band, The first concert is next saturday so if you are in Toulouse, you know what you have to do. Freddy told me they just have one song, so it will be funny!

Here's some pics from the other night at unit23, there all taken by Scott Frame. it was a really good sesh, and a good turn out.


I now ride a fashion victim setup! no brakes and slammed seat, I so ashamed! it feels good though I didn't feel like I was using my brake much anyway, and the cable was fucked. I don't really have much to say about myself; I've been working a lot and doing a lot of tasting/training on various wines and spirits and I should be doing a gin cocktail comp in January.




BSD JAM!

I Don't really know what to say about the jam other than there was loads of great riding, minimal injuries, and lots of drunkenness! was disappointed that some people would rather drink all day than ride the jam! highlights from B group were baby Sean pulling dialled 3's over everything, Grant from rouken glen (I think?) whipping the volcano and the box hip, Viktor Bulgaria being himself, Luca going backwards pretty well and doing nice 3's to flat, and Mingo done a nice wall ride pocket thing can't think just now but there was loads of good stuff.

A group had a really good turnout, in the past there have only been around 10-20 entrants this year there was probably around 30, Highlights were lewis from aberdeen doing smooth 540's and whip airs and a high 360 wall ride, Chaz's 720, Kristen Kyle blasting everything super smooth, Danny Walker's hip flip and killing himself trying crazy off axis flips over the spine, and 720's over the spine, Ryan J's frontflips, everything Si gibb done, and Mick's flipwhips, downside three whips over the spine and hip, Huge whip over the hip in hall 2, and a clean double whip over the box (he'd never tried it before). There was so much more that happened though but I can remember things that happed yesterday so I done ok.


More pics soon, maybe even some street pics if it ever stops raining! and a vid too soon...



Dean.

Elect collector stem, sort of...

Wow, the first 2008 delivery is full of surprise. In spite of controlling stuff in Taiwan, some mistakes are still on. Elect stems arrived with 6061-T6 logo printed on while the are made of 7075-T6 alloy of course. Those of you who will buy them will have a kind of collector stem. Sorry for that.

Allons bon, la première livraison 2008 nous réserve plein de surprise. Malgré un control à Taiwan, des erreurs se sont glissées dans les cartons. Les potences Elect portent un logo 6061-T6 alors qu'elles sont taillées dans le l'aluminium 7075-T6. Ceux d'entre vous qui en achèteront possèderont une sorte de potence collector. Désolé pour cela.

Finally

I think that every distributor received our 008 stuff now. So if you are interested, contact your local shop and tell him to contact our distributors ! We will post more photos of the 008 products real soon so stay tuned!

Frenchys vient de recevoir toute la gamme 008. Donc si vous êtes interessés, contactez votre shop favori et dépéchez vous, car les quantités sont très limitées et beaucoup de pièces sont déja réservées. Nous posterons bientôt plus de photos des produits 2008, donc restez connectés!
