Sombrio Clothing Employ Bizarre Titles On Their Press Releases In A Bid To Draw Attention To The Fact They Are Now The Clothing Sponsor Of The Coastal Crew!
The reason for all this puerile playacting and posturing is that Sombrio Clothing have partnered with the most creative, inventive and original threesome in mountain biking: The Coastal Crew. The three young lads who don’t need to stamp their feet to get the attention of the assembled crowd. The triad that don’t need to scream a tirade because their work output stands them head and shoulders above the crowd. Sombrio will be supporting The Coastal Crew starting immediately.
The Coastal Crew burst onto the ‘scene’ back in 2008 with their ground breaking video part in Kranked 7:Revolve where they did it their way and struck a popular cord with mountain bikers world wide. The video part – in which the Coastal Crew danced and roasted each other on the same trail at the same time – was like a giant head slap and ‘why didn’t anyone think of that before?’ moment. From this the Crew built momentum by procuring some film making equipment and producing their own short movies, which soon developed into a tremendously popular web series. The web videos focused on the Crew’s talents building creative trails, riding them fast and fluidly. They were put together in way that made it look like good times amongst friends but where the viewer was invited to share in the playfulness. They had the equipment, the know how, but most of all the initiative to make the most of doing it themselves and utilize modern means of communication – the internet – to share their content.
The analogy of three young lads cloning a unicorn – that appeared in the above title – my seem far fetched but there is some semblance of truth in it. A unicorn is created when you allow a Castilian Horse, a Haast’s eagle and a Narwhal to get together in a seedy motel room and do the bendy flex together to produce a mythical mongrel neonate. The Coastal Crew are like that magical and mythical three way. Each one of the three members of the Coastal Crew are wildly talented, motivated, dedicated, innovative virtuosos, but together their collective capacity for creative cooperative adds up to more than the sum of its parts. They are the triple threat holy trinity because they can ride, build creative trails, and then produce interesting and engaging content to showcase the first two talents.
Posted: May 20th by smitty.Howdy howdy howdy. So it has almost been one week since I broke some bones in my back and I must say I am coming along quite well I was off the pain killers in three days and the doctor pretty much says get up walk around and do as much as you can, using pain as your guide. The reason for this is the vertebrae that I broke are stabilized from the rib cage holding things altogether. Cool yah since I can walk around and do things not much mind you but its a whole lot better than being bed ridden for weeks.
My rehab will start in a a few days, I’m gonna start by going to the pool and using the kickboard keeping my arms up and just kicking my way across the pool. The doc says the bone should be healed in 6 weeks. crazy ya I know I definitely got lucky on this one but one of the reasons I wasnt too alarmed was I landed flat on my back but I still had a compression fracture.
So other than that Im just gonna hit my rehab hard and try and be ready for a super busy summer.
Funny story, Some kid went to my trails the other day and said he couldnt ride cuz there was a bear on one of the landings. I told him thats my friend that makes sure nobody wrecks my jumps. lol
