Chris Akrigg – five from chris akrigg on Vimeo.

this is amazing! Chris has been riding trials for a long time but some of his most impressive riding seems to be when he takes his trials background into other genres.
Riding everything from a commuter bike to a DH rig to a 16inch kids bike Chris can shred anything.

This past weekend some of the worlds fastest down hill racers made their way up the coast from the sea otter classic to the second round of the NW Cup at Port Angeles WA.

It was pretty surreal to be at the local series and see 30 or so of the worlds best racers in line for practice.

I grabbed a couple pictures with my phone while walking the track.

Brooke the Bulldog with Trek World Racing leads out Luke Strobel with Evil Bikes.

The man the myth the legend, Cedric fully healed up and ripping again. He was running his new DVO suspension, trying to get things dialed in before World Cup season starts.

Steve Smith and Nick Beer with their new Devinci Wilson Carbon team bikes.

Freeride badass and super nice guy “the Claw” showed up to race, and surprised some guys with a very respectable time.

Portland local and super nice guy Charlie Sponsel back from hand surgery and happy to be back on his DH bike.

he looked like one of the faster guys down the infamous “CHUNDERDOME” section of the track but a crash near the end ruined his chances.

Young gun Neko Mullaly looked super fast and focused.

Andrew Neethling was a blur on track.

check out the NW Cup website for results and dates for upcoming races.

Exclusively at the Farm Oakley has launched a new program called the custom build your own. This allows you to fully customize your Oakley Racing Jacket shades by picking out your frame color, jaw color, 2 lens’s, thru bolt color, icon color, and ear sock color. I have recently built my own and stoked on the way they turned out. I went with a Matt black Frame, Gloss Black Jaws, matte black icons, chrome thru bolts G40 Photochromic Vented lens’s along with a clear set for night ridding and grey ear socks. SICK. We have a full selection of all of the pieces in stock. Stop by and see for yourself. You can now build the highest quality sunglasses on the planet to your preferences. Here is the way mine turned out and some of the other color options we have in stock. You can also build your own on Oakley’ website to get a idea how your shades could look.

Mike’s got a lot of bikes and some good taste.  He recently bought one of our demo Ibis Hakkalugis and built it up REAL nice.  He’s not going to race it, but use it as a gravel grinder.  So he threw on the XTR crankset for compact gearing.  The rest of the build includes Ksyrium SL wheels, Easton EC90 bars, SRAM Rival shifters, and Red rear derailleur.  Oh, and he’s got a pretty rad car too.

The blue King headset looks SO sick on this frame.  Built now with ENVE AM wheels set up singlespeed and a Fox 36 lowered to 140mm.  A light, fast ripper.
