The Renton Skate Park just installed some lights.  About two weeks ago they put up some bright lights and the park is fully rideable.  So no more getting off at 7pm and not being able to ride.  Not sure when they turn off but its pretty late according to the kids in the area.  Stop by the shop and then ride Renton after we get off work!!! 

Here is last night with Crappis, New York Mike, Willy, Scott V, Colton and me.  New york Mike is the new kid in town so look out for this guy.

Sully came by the shop today and gave us a sneak peak of the new RL9.

There’s a few new additions (and subtractions) from the frame. Sully got rid of the seat gusset and saved over a pound from the previous model. The headtube angle is brought down to 65° , the deraileur hanger is brought forward 3° for better shifting, and the standover height is 1″ shorter than the 2007 model. Since they dropped that gusset, the frame looks way cleaner. The RL9 still utilizes the Lawwill suspension setup, floating brake, and steering dampener. For more info check www.RotecCycles.com . If you want one, let us know. As for colors, there is white, black, ano red, and maybe raw. 

I thought that Downhill Domination was the only mountain bike game until…Mountain Bike Adrenaline caught my eye in Best Buy.  John Cowan on the cover and some pretty cool screen shots on the back.  Luckily you can get it for only $10 dollars since the ratings are not that good.  You can pretty much tell its not going to be that banger video game like Tony Hawk or Skate.  Here is the description they give to get you all stoked up to shred the gnar.  Bad descriptions from ad execs much like my last sentence. 

Straddle your mountain bike and ride the adrenaline as you hurtle down the world’s most spectacular slopes. Speed, dexterity and daring are the three ingredients that will turn you into an exceptional rider. Are you ready to ride out of your skin?

But for ten bucks off of ebay how can you go wrong.?
