Dougie Lampkin tours Renthal factory

Renthal are already the kings of motocross bars and sprockets and are now producing some pretty special mountain bike components too. 

Recently Renthal have uploaded footage of a tour of their UK Office & factory in Cheshire.

Not just any old factory tour though - the difference being that the visitor was trials legend Dougie Lampkin.  A man that refuses to leave his bike at home is our sort of guy. Enjoy:

Those guys don't need convincing, they all know Two Wheels are Better.

Another good example of how Two Wheels are Better.

But remember,  two wheels a day keeps the doctor away.

The art of the bunnyhop

The bunnyhop is one of the most basic but essential mountain bike skills.

Here is how it should be done, amazing:

In contrast here is a particularly nasty example of a bunnyhop FAIL:

But this is something that everyone really needs to see, much more than just a bunnyhop:
