Check out the interview with Phil on pinkbike.

Why do you ride?
Because it’s fun, because I love it- I grew up riding. I love being on my bike, and pushing myself personally to get to a new level whether others are there or not already…

What would your life be like without bikes?
I could not tell you. I can’t imagine my life without bikes. My life revolves around work and riding. Andy, my brother inspires me more than anyone. One of the best things anybody can have is not just a best friend to ride with, but a brother at the same age and level of riding. He wants to be where I want to be- riding at the top. We ride at the same level but have distinct riding styles.

Early Thursday morning Phil and I (Crappis) boarded are plane heading to Cleveland, OH for the Rays MTB 3ride contest. Phil had a chance to go visit Rays while filming for the Atomlab video and was happy to be going back. This was my first time going and couldn’t wait to get there. After a couple of plane rides we were in Cleveland and Getting are bikes put to gather and heading over to the park.

Driving up to the park you would never know anything like this would be happening in this building. When you walk in you see all kinds of wooden structures and a giant wooden berm in the middle of the small box jump rhythm. Then you see the Moen course full of wooden berms and bridges. Then there are the big box jumps that surround the Moen course. Then in the back corner lays the skate park. This place has some thing for every one from all levels of riding.

Tech Tip from Phil Sundbaum…

#1 Use a hockey bag to transport your bike and pay $0.00 dollars

#2 To save the frame from getting pinched, use a threaded rod and wingnuts.

#3 Use Towels to pack the frame and take off rotors.

This has been one long awaited title.  Bjorn Aunet worked hard to bring you a great new video.  Elemental starts out in the NW with ripper Luke Strobel killing some Washington terrain.  From there it just fires off great riding and great shots.  Other local boys featured are Casey Northern, Richard Mukai and Erik Svega.  Its a must see video that was made with help from the DHZ and Hayes Brakes.  (Just a side note Hayes just aquired Manitou suspension.)
