Scott USA are our frame provider for 2010.

We've had a long standing relationship with Scott and keep getting suprised by the quality of the new product that keeps rolling out of the factory.

We've put their DH bikes through their paces as well as having run carbon frames in Whistler since the launch of the Ransom, Including Spark, Genius and the carbon seat stays on our Gamblers.
We can confidently tell you.. carbon rocks!

Fast, light, plush and bomb proof.. Scott have something for every style of riding.

Fox suspension are our continued fork/shock sponsor this season.

Fox are our longest standing sponsor and that makes us very happy as their product is simply THE best there is. Period.

A huge thanks to the team at Fox down in Watsonville, CA for their continued support.

Whistler's riding is the best showcase for the versatility and quality of the suspension components Fox offer  we have to ride pretty much all of it :)

There is nothing that offers the quality that Fox do in suspension, at least not that we've seen. www.foxracingshox.com

Continental Tires have been around for donkeys years and made their name in the road biking world, not to mention with OEM and aftermarket tires for premium auto manufacturers.

Conti have been putting out 'love them or hate them' endless edge XC tires for quite some time now but since the development of their more traditional tread range and their commitment to taking the Gravity market by storm, and enlisting the Athertons to show us just how well this rubber performs,  their tires have earned some serious kudos!

We're lucky enough to be working with Continental and have our guide bikes shod in the finest German rubber.

We think we've found the perfect tires! www.conti-online.com

The euro zone engineering companies are definately doing something right when it comes to the quality of the product they produce and DT Swiss are no exception!

Sure we've dented a few 6.1d rims in the past riding Whistler's bike park day in day out, but with straight and true 5.1d, 4.2d much better 610d rims, zero hub failures and spokes as strong as Arnie, these wheel sets are perfect for the riding we have here!

New for 2010 see's us rolling along on the new Tricon 1550's on our XC bikes, 1750's on trail and FR bikes and 2350 and 2200's on DH bikes.

Raceface, Vancouver's North shore tried and tested and a Canadian company through and through.

18 years in the component business and year in year out they keep putting out more bike parts for us to lust after.

We decided to give their price point cranks a shot this year so we can show our guests just how good a budget product can look as well as how well it can survive the daily grind the bike park puts on components.

Throw some colours into the mix and bikes really do become a work of art.

The high end stuff, as always - faultless!

For as long as I can remember I've had an affinity to Helly Hansen's kit. I've  always skiied in their jackets and pants (salopettes to we Brits) as I figured that the Norweigans knwo how to keep themselves warm and dry.

Helly Hansen have been steadily branching out into the adventure sports market over the last few years with the addition of a small range of riding jerseys. The huge bonus for us though is their wet weather and cool weather gear.

Our guide are kitted out with rain jackets and softshells to keep the elements at bay, and even with a full season of 'ride, wash, repeat', the stuff still looks as good as new - and still keeps them warm and dry too!

Fizik, only the finest Italian leater for our bottoms.

We hooked up with Fi'zi:k back in 2006 and have had comfort and style ever since.

Fi'zi:k produce a superb range of saddles to cover all disciplines with the Gobi XM and Zea:k being the perfect Whistler trail and park saddles.

Our female staff have all commented on the pain free result of the female specific range too!

Comfortable when you're sitting, and soft on the important bits when you're crashing!

Crankbrothers pedals have been keeping us clipped in and pain free for years. Quite, the best packaged and best functioning pedals year round riding.

50:50's for the big bikes, Acid, Candy and Egg Beaters for the XC bikes.

Crankbrothers have been pioneers in bringing the industrial design process back to mountain biking products and have done a remarkable job in literally re-inventing the wheel.

For us, the single greatest mountain bike development is the Joplin seatpost. If you just don't get the concept, try one, you wont go back to old school fixed length seatposts - ever :) If you're not interested in giving one a go, its your loss!

Magura have been our trusted stopping devices for a number of years now.

Being the pioneers of hydraulic brakes (HS33 Rim brakes) and German engineered to boot, they know a thing or two about stopping us on a dime (well..'Pfennig' I guess)

We're running the Louise BAT as our DH brake of choice for those days that we need to defy gravity with the impressively light weight Marta as our trail bike brake of choice when we have to get the bike to the top of the hill before ripping the descents.

NEW to BBB for 2010 is an exciting new relationship with MRP.

What can I say? We're happy to be working with MRP as they've been around for a long time making chain retention devices.

They installed as they were supposed to and we've not dropped a chain yet, and they look pretty damn fast!

So, consider these BBB approved as a fit and forget device that lets us get on with what we do best - show you around the mountain!

Dakine are a true adventure sports brand and with their HQ in Hood River Oregon, they are totally immersed in the culture they design their products for - the end result being THE best mountain biking packs available!

Dakine have the goods going on with gloves too as well as their new clothing lines.

In short, Dakine keep us hydrated whilst packing the tools and first aid kit we need on guided rides as well as keeping our hands safely on the bars!
