Guillaume the rider or Guillaume the baker ?

noreply@blogger.com (Dobermann Bikes) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:58:00 +0000

Found this funny picture of our friend/neighbor/rider Guillaume Bellefeuille on Voir.ca

Very cool article about the Bakery where he works.
Guillaume has been a part of Dobermann since the beginning, he was one of the pioneer of the early 2000 MTBMX east coast riding scene. You might not have heard of him often anymore, but he stills ride fricking hard with the same very progressive style. Also, he tests some of our new products...Its quite convenient as he lives on the same street as the Dob factory and has some sweet kickers in front of his house.

Guillaume life is always full of new projects, from traveling around the world, to build log-house and backing croissant. His spirit is a true inspiration for all of us.

Gui you rock!
The Wild Oat Bakery pizza's are the best!

So, we are finally back from our Vegas/Interbike road trip.
We have stop posting on the road because everything just got crazier and we basically lost touch of time once we drove into Vegas. Have you seen " The Hangover", the movie ?

We will post some pics and recap once our heads are back top normal.
That 10,000km trip was cool,but has you can imagine...it was a loooon drive.

For now...enjoy that cool video from Tommy Lajoie
I'm impressedof his progress since last summer.
Is it the cold Baie-Comeau wind? Love? His Pinscher? Lack of things to do in Baie-Comeau?
I dont know... but wow! impressive riding!

Can it ever get more exciting!!!!!

I wish Clinton would have ridden today and relax for the slopestyle, but he gets more practice time I guess!?
-------------------------------

The VW Best Trick Showdown competition has been cancelled today due to rain. (Thu, 13 Aug 2009 Posted at 04:00:00 PM)

“The Boneyard is just not going to provide the conditions needed for our slopestyle athletes to perform at the level they want to,” says Mark Taylor, Event Director for Kokanee Crankworx. “Due to the rain the wooden features are too slick and the dirt jumps are too soft to safely pull the technical tricks and massive airs.”

In lieu of airing the VW Best Trick Showdown on Go211.com’s live webcast a live interview talk show will take place 5:30 to 7:30pm at www.crankworx.com.

The VW Best Trick winner will now be determined at the Monster Energy Slopestyle event on Saturday, August 15. All unqualified riders will be competing at 3:30pm for the rider-judged VW Best Trick as well as for their place to compete in the Slopestyle Finals. Over the entire event of qualifiers and finals the $6000 prize purse will be awarded to the rider with the over best trick deemed by their fellow competitors.

Crankworx!!!!! Go Clinton GO!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Dobermann Bikes) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 12:17:00 +0000

Its the Crankworx time of the year...

Clinton McMahon is in Whistler with is Pink slopestyle frame as we speak getting ready to kick some ass in tomorrow's vw trick showdown in order to qualify to the Monster energy slopestyle on the 14.

We are so stoked that Clinton was able to be selected to compete, as this comp is seriously only for the top of the top. Only 24 of the best athlete in the world were specialy hand pick to compete in the best trick contest qualifier. Clinton got invited after showing what he can do at this year Claymore Challenge. Only 16 of the 24 top riders in the world will have the chance to ride in the Monster energy slopestyle, are we talking top level comp or what!??!!!

This is a turning point in Clinton career and we wish him the best!
Gabriel, Fred, Seb and I will watch him live on Live webcast tomorow at 5:30 BC time. We invite you to do the same as it will be a epic Trick contest!!!

Cheers!

Ooo ya! Barspin represent in da Bank!

noreply@blogger.com (Dobermann Bikes) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:44:00 +0000

Congratulation to Darren at Barspin imports for being the Small Business of the Month at is local bank branch. Having some support like this from the local bank means allot to a small business like us and Barspin. It also show's that Darren is doing a hell of a good job!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Barspin Imports is Small Business of the Month at Westpac Bank’s Milton Branch (Brisbane, Australia). Barspin Imports is the importer and distributor of Dobermann Fabrication’s frames and components for Australia.

“Being business of the month meant that we got to set up a display in the branch, enabling us to show case Dobermann’s awesome products in a very different environment from the usual bike shops, trade shows and events. The feedback from staff and bank customers has been nothing but fantastic!

The Baby Blue Molosse with a hard-core street build looks incredible in the drab interior of the branch and with the super colourful poster above it, makes for a very eye catching display. We’re super stoked” Darren, Director, Barspin Imports. www.barspin-imports.com.au

Natural Games in Millau France

noreply@blogger.com (Dobermann Bikes) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 12:52:00 +0000

Our friend Christopher Hatton took the second place in the DJ comp at the "Natural Games" in Millau France a comp were the level was comparable to the top international level.

Congratulation Christopher!
This is a shot of Christopher and his PINK at the Chatel Mountain Style where he took the 17th place (mee... cant get on the podium every-time, its part of the game). Looking at the result of that comp, i realized that there were more Canadian riders in that event then local/euro/american ?
