Month: June 2010

It’s been a few months since I’ve been on any downhill rides. So when Joe Solancho told me about a secret trail that he and Wes Castro rode a few weeks prior, I jumped on the opportunity. We met at the staging location and loaded up the bikes. We’re lucky enough that we could shuttle…

The KHS XC 604 (Medium) On Prisiclla’s old bike, we went with a Pink theme. Since this frame has lime green on it, we’ll be looking for parts and accessories with the same color.

That means Awnry Clothing will be “assembled in the USA.” The first item that will be produced will the be the Sucka Shirt. Awnry Sucka Shirts (A.S.S) are made with a high tech fabric…

I was sitting back at my desk, looking out the window and day dreaming about coming out with cool clothing. Not just t-shirts silk screened with designs. But actual apparel that is not only useful for biking, but also cool enough to wear when you’re out and about. If you recall, we have this brand…
