Hey guys, Myself and the Crimmins Bros were at this awesome race, despite for the fact that it rained (a lot) and that it was very close to zero degrees. The race was superbly run and the track was fantastic, well would have been better with slightly less rain but anyway check out this video put together by a chap called Rob. Enjoy this edit.

2011 is well and truly here for Morewood bikes. Check out there freshly dropped website with all the new bikes.
Morewood has pushed its line up to a new level this year with a new more refined and unique flavour. The no BS approach that Morewood has been perpetuated through this cool new look that is complimented with some exciting technology.
This year Morewood are really stamping their ground in the enduro/marathon market and intend on really sinking their teeth in an exciting new direction whilst staying strong in the gravity side of things.
We will have our website updated shortly too.
We intend to have retail prices displayed on our website too so you can have all the information at hand to pull the trigger on your new bike 
hehe
Loving it,
Nicho
Since Morewood’s birth 12 years ago, our craft of designing and manufacturing the highest quality mountain bike frames has certainly progressed. The machines have evolved. The graphics and corporate identity have changed. But one thing remains constant: our desire to build inspired mountain bikes.
Patrick Morewood and his team have worked tirelessly to bring to market what is perhaps the most anticipated frame in the company’s history. Licensing Dave Weagle’s famed design, this finely tuned trail bike has all the characteristics that riders have come to love and expect from us. Split Pivot fits the 150mm travel platform perfectly.

What is Split Pivot?
Split Pivot is a patented suspension system for high performance bicycles, where traction, efficiency, manoeuvrabil- ity, and frame stiffness are important factors on the track and trail.
The heart of the new suspension design features a concentric dropout pivot. Together with Dave Weagle’s competi- tion proven engineering and testing
process, Morewood have engineered a frame to combine the best performance traits of single pivot and long-arm linkage suspensions.
Split Pivot is all about having fun on the trail, and each unique suspension layout is designed to offer a ride that will make you smile regardless of your riding style or ability.
How does it work?
The Split Pivot concentric dropout design separates acceleration forces from braking forces in the suspension. The system reduces excess suspension reaction to accelera- tion forces, and at the same time reduces excess reaction to braking forces. Braking neutrality can be tuned independently of acceleration characteristics, and suspension feel can be tuned by varying leverage ratio curves. With so many possible mechanical layouts, not every Split Pivot bike looks or performs the same. But therein lies the beauty, because it allows us to create the perfect tool for the job. And we have.
Needless to say that we are just as excited if not more than Eric Davies from Deity about the launch of his new products and website. Every part looks refined, very well designed and one step ahead of the rest of the mountain bike products out there. It’s clear that Deity was a step ahead two years ago when they first realised their dirty 30′s with an unmatched weight with a sturdy feel and great handling, well Deity has done it again by taking it to another level…check it out:

Hey Guys,
Deville is the very first enduro fork produced by Bos. It has been developped in order to get a very accurate fork for all the enduro riders. Our engi- neers have been mainly focused on three axles : getting a lightweight fork, quite stiff, and efficient in downhill, but also when it’s time to climb ! You get the result now. All the lucky guys who could ride it, felt really enth usiast about its behaviour. Devil- le is remarquable by its dimensions : 34mm stan- chions and 160 mm travel : a package that brings a good balance between stifness and reasonable weight. By the way, Deville is one of the lightest 160 mm forks available. But Deville, as a true Bos fork, also features a very performing hydraulic sys- tem, based on an open bath cartridge, fully ad- justable. This should bring a good chassis control ! And for the pedaling efficiency, Deville inovates with the TRC, for Twin Rate Curve. This system does not block the fork, and does not change the geometry of the bike. By increasing the rate very quickly it reduces the travel, but allows the fork to keep efficient on small bumps, without moving up and down while pedaling. In case of unexpected big hit, the fork is still works. This system is incre- dibly efficient once on the track, as noticed by all the riders. A must test as soon as possible !
Check out the Deville story pdf and owner’s manual for a better understand of the Twin rate curve!

HI Guys,
What an awesome week end for the Crimmins Brothers. Thomas got first place in under 19′s two months before his 15th birthday. Andrew As usual obliterated his field in under 15′s. A huge congratulations for the win boys. You make us proud.
Whilst i managed to get under the 3 minute bar with a bit of all round fun which scored me an 11th place. We all look forward to the next round at Del rio for the final round before the state champs.
We would like to thank Neil Thompson for his amazing photography and his dedication on the hill!
