Interbike Report and Pix

My favorite new product line, the re-birth of Tomac bikes. The Snyper shown here is the new mid-travel trailbike.















The baddest DH bike ever, from the baddest DH racer ever (and Joel Smith), the new Tomac Primer.















Johnny T's personal bike, the new Tomac Carbide carbon full suspension xc bike. John was kind enough to offer his personal bike to Vegas Bob for a test ride...




I often hear people say tht they really only like to go to Vegas every other year for the show. As crazy as it is, I don't understand how anyone who is in to cycling could want to skip a year. Even if the product is unchanged (there is always something new), the shenannigans and "Burning-Man" type madness is worth the trip. What about the Mountain Bike Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony? You get to see MB history being made in that little ante-room every year at the end of the show. Someone alays brings some crazy contraptions to ODD, like the ice cream bike that Kabush was riding around ODD, handing out ice cream! I love it, live for it, and always try to push myself to make as much headway for the team as possible. This year was no exception, with som very exciting news coming in the next few weeks...

Ed Fonda from Voler, holding up the best jersey EVER!
















Our jersey at SIGMA, thanks to Jenni and James, and some double sided tape.








Thanks in advance to Jay, Randy, Trevor, Kim, Roger, Vanessa, Fuzzy, Bert, Vegas Bob, Dawn Lyons etc. for selflessly making the trip, promoting their team and shuttling me from the Burbank airport to Vegas and back. Many current and potential sponsors continue to be amazed at the solidarity and work ethic that you all provide, and it is paying off. I have so much great news, I could split..but I need to keep it on the down-low for now. Here are some pix from the past week...but I will NOT post any of Tuesday nights booze fest at the Hard Rock with the "Soprano's" character "Big Pussy.." or Bert passing out with his cothes on and Willow Koerber's picture on his fly.


More pix tomorrow, and throughout the week! Look for Taylor's DH race report from Tahoe soon, and Ryan Nolan's DH report from TODAY's RACE on the east coast!
