Five Ten expand shoe range for 2009
Here's a preview of the range from Five Ten. Considering Five Ten entered the riding market with a single shoe, the size of the 2009 range is impressive and shows their commitment to the riding market. They've come a long way but I'm sure riders will remain divided on the styling.

NPS Round 5 venue change
Stop the press - VENUE CHANGE for the final round of the 2008 NPS. Torrential rain hit region and the carp ark [yup, intentional poor pun] looks like it won't dry out in time for next weekends hoards of vans. The organisers picked up the whole event and moved it even further North. Si Paton tells us more...

Pra Loup Masters Worlds report
416 downhillers from 29 nations headed over to Pra Loup, France, last week for the Masters Worlds. Racing was flat out and dusty (when we got a chance to ride) and the UK riders dominated. I'm back and most of the dust is no longer in places dust shouldn't be - report and photos here soon!

It's a while since the press embargo broke and even longer since I was pedalling some of these round a carpark in the Midlands. Finally, product is almost on the shelves and I've had a chance to have a first look, which is more of a second look really...

Pinning the Atherton Gap
This is a story that should have been told long ago. The images have languished on my hard drive, with one particular one escaping and doing the rounds of various media. It's now Pinkbike POD so this is the story of the gap, the 'talent' - two young pinners from the UK race scene - and how I got the photo in the bag.

Bolehills Pumptrack Pursuit Enduro
I Googled "pump track enduro" and it looks like it could be a world first* for this format. At least on the internet! It's a crazy plan but it might just work. Could it work? If there are enough people** up for it, we'll find out on Thursday in Sheffield.
