The Claymore Challenge is a slopestyle mountain bike competition at Highland Mountain Bike Park in Northfield, New Hampshire.  Designed to address the growing need for a safe progression in freeride competition, the Claymore Challenge allows amateurs the opportunity to climb the slopestyle ladder in an environment catered toward them.

The event has two categories; first is an amateur category directed for beginners and intermediate riders and second is a Pro/open which is for Pro’s and skilled amateurs who need to be given a chance to climb through the ranks.  The contest allows riders the opportunity to showcase their skills toward a “Wild Card” grand prize; an all expense paid trip and invite to the Bearclaw Invitational August 21-23rd.

006








Custer has been ripping it up here on the Right Coast, and now he is heading out (representing on his Sinister of course) to the Crankworx Freeride Mountain Bike Festival starting up next week.  We are all fortunate to have a World Class Playground...Highland Mountain Bike Park....right in our back yard so we know Custer will feel right at home at the Crankworx event.  Check out the Crankworx site to see what's new for 08.

Good Luck Custer, keep us posted and mind the Gap!!

Ayamye* Synopsis

In Ghana, West Africa, a rural village eagerly awaits a shipment of
recycled bicycles from the United States. Inspiring, determined, resourceful, individuals let us into their daily lives in a dramatic look at how lack of transportation can impact the education, health and livelihood of the community. Ayamye* is a moving, life-affirming film that proves sustainable solutions to crisis are not always complex.
            
       
       
            
            
Ayamye* was produced in connection with Bikes not Bombs out of Boston. It was a selection of several film festivals including Phoenix Film Festival, Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Accra Environmental Film Festival, and Bicycle Film Festival.
            
            Ayamye* will be playing at the Frontier Theater in Brunswick on November 3rd.

claremont dh

Hey gang,

last call for folks that want to check out a old school DH race/event right here in NH, 20 minutes up the road from Sinister! The courses are looking great and drying quickly. There's an "A" course and "B" course for different levels and or bike choices. You could easily race a Ridge on either course and be fine. You also get 2 runs which is nice and it only costs 22 bones to enter!
Looks like we will have a pretty good group of guys from the "Sinister Family" up there including the Drummer Racing crew. I will be hosting a little after race bonfire/party so bring your tents and get ready to throw down.
See you up there...also if anyone wants to help build/buff, we'll be up there tonite(thursday, 6th) helping out!@
peace'

highlands

Highlands will be officially opening this weekend! It will be good to see this local jewel up and running. Been going up there to help since last late summer and it has really come a long way. The thought there is quality, not quantity. The place will just continue to improve as time goes on.
The owners are all sick riders who have spent nearly 3 full years working on the project around the clock.
The riding there will favor at least strong intermediate-expert riders initially until more beginner trails are added. We defiantely plan to be involved at the mountain, hosting demos, putting on jump jams and doing clinics. It will be our local testing ground for sure.
Good to see such an emphasis on flow too! you could do all the trails on a Ridge if you are a competent hardtail rider...which somehow I am not anymore.I've hit the trails on both my r-9 and a prototype 7 inch travel freeride bike and both have advantages, but I'd say a freeride bike will be way more fun on the jump trail.
Pretty sure they are the only lift access freeride bike only park in the nation! right in Northfield NH, which is 20 minutes north of the state capitol, Concord.
Check out this video preview that our staff videographer, Mark Veilleux did....http://veilleuxfilms.com/highlandpreview.wmv
They will be opening Friday so get on it and support this amazing mountain! www.highlandmountain.com

We're busy!

Hope you're ready cuz' we're coming to a town near you! We are out in force this summer for sure, riding, repping and raging.
Beginning on July 1st and lasting until the snow flies we are a title sponsor of the long-running Bolton Valley Freeride Weekends.You got to get up there and see for yourself why we feel it vital to support that scene! Their website is www.boltonvalley.com
On July 1st, some of riders will be heading up to the Doberman Bikes jump jam up in eastern Canada. Check it out at www.sinisterbikes.com
At the end of July we will be in Lanesboro for the Pedrosfest where we will have a booth and be featured with our Sinister Bikes Jump Jam and possibly with some DH clinics taught by our factory racers and FTW himself. Look for Derek Stevens, Clint Mchahon, Sasha Yakovleff and Dane Berk to be shredding and designing some incredible jumps and stunts. Last year, the big dirt pile took over so we will be spending lot's of time there, for sure!
We will also be at races, demos and other events as they develop. We will try and keep you informed best as we can and let us know if you want us to be involved with your event!
