As part of his University of Kansas graphic design course, Justin Bell chose to re-brand T-1. This work involved designing product packaging, business cards, letterheads... Basically, anything a company would need - Justin designed a T-1 version. He also took his skills to the editing room and put his slant on Joe's "We Love Colorado". Thanks a lot to Justin for all his hard work, and congrats on receiving an A in the class!
Here's some examples...

The U.S.A. and the U.K. aren't looking to lose their spots anytime soon, but Spain breaks back into the top five and breezes past Japan and Australia, who are only seperated by a handful of visits.

The U.S.A. and the U.K. are still holding down the top two spots, but Japan continues to make its presence felt by battling it out with Australia for that much coveted third place. Canada surprisingly edges past strong European competition to break into the top five after a long absence. Tune in next week for more nail biting developments!

He just sent over this bike check video of his new SFA. Check it out if you have a few free minutes. Mike's one of a kind indeed. Enjoy!

Kurt Siever is a friend that I actually only know through emails. It's funny how that can even exist. But it does, and I am thankful for it. Through the past couple of years, we've talked more and more and I sent him some stuff to ride. Needless to say, I have only known him through his words and this alone made me want to help him out. He had sent me a few pics of his riding here and there, and every time I was amazed. He kills it and looks good doing everything. He just sent me over this very recent Vimeo link of him and his friend Andy Maguire shreddin' the Santa Cruz area. Kurt is the one that has the hat on the majority of the time. Take a few minutes and have a watch. These dudes shred ! Thanks Kurt :)

SALT CITY BARS
Four piece bars were big throughout the 80's and 90's. The Haro Kneesavers ruled all for a few years, and GT followed up with some of their own four piece creations. As the years went on, you saw them less and less. However, every so often, different takes on four piece bars have popped up from time to time due to various interest. Jump forward to 2011 and T-1. Our interest comes from our very own Shawn 'Elf' Walters. We have worked with Shawn on these to fine tune them to his liking. Nothing earth shattering, just some dialing in here and there. Two piece bars will still remain far above all else, at the top... but we are proud to offer something that riders like Elf might enjoy. Bikes are so very similar these days, so if you are considering a different look, then peek inside.

THE WOOD SHOP
The name could be deceiving in one right, if you had no idea what context it was being used in. On the other hand, it couldn't be more spot on. Salt Lake City's own Cameron Wood has just opened up his new BMX specific store, known as "The Wood Shop". Not only is it a word play with his last name, but sure enough, Cameron is one master woodworking craftsman. The idea behind the shop is to support a main group of brands that he feels very strongly about. Lucky for us, T-1 is one of them. Upon entering the front door, I would be surprised if the first thing that drew attention was the products he stocks. You see, he has put his tools to work and created a one of a kind experience, that shows exactly what Cameron is all about. He shows that maximum effort, over shadows maximum budget on any day. Cam has used almost all reclaimed or discarded wood on the interior design. You would never know it as the place is unreal. So the next time you are in Salt Lake and need something BMX-wise, or just want to meet a really awesome dude and see his kingdom for yourself, treat yourself and stop by.

As a sort of "farewell" to Tom, we bring you this... Tom Dugan and I visited Ruben at home in Malaga back in May of this year. We both happened to be in the UK at the same time, and Spain was just too close to pass up. Ruben always seems to have some new, wild spot that he has been working on. He roped us both in with tales of green valleys, that are home to giant dirt curvatures. Yeah, we had to go see for ourselves. What is it with Malaga and these spots anyhow?! Thank you Ruben for those great days that we shared...

MIKE TAG BENEFIT UPDATE
Our benefit we held at T-1 this past Saturday for our good buddy Mike Tag was a huge success. People came out in the masses to help our brother in need. We raised almost $2100.00 for Mike, and we have a bunch of shirts to sell as well that will go towards his bills as well. Good times were had by all, and it was a great day. Sandy Carson was in the yard with camera in hand, so you can expect to see a full edit that will be on ESPN. He summed up great by saying it was a "fun day and rad vibes". Much love to you Mike!

MIKE TAG BENEFIT SHIRT
This is your chance to help out our friend, and BMX legend, Mike Tag. Mike is currently battling Lymphoma, and has no medical insurance. The story behind this design, that was drawn by Austin's own Shawn Rylander, is pretty simple. Mike Tag is a Scorpio in the horoscope world, hence the scorpion. In that same world, the crab is known as "Cancer". It was only fitting to show that Mike is kicking Cancer's ass! The artwork is complete with his initials "MT" on the mock PBR cans. Help Mike keep that cancer crab out of commission, and buy one of these shirts! All proceeds from these will be going directly towards Mike's medical bills. Together we can help him do this. Cheers!

You will undoubtedly see plenty of coverage of Nike's "The Pool" Jam that went down this past weekend in Dagenham, England. I was brought over to be one of the 5 judges for the event. Luckily they flew us in 2 days early which left plenty of time to watch practice. Though there were dozens of cameras everywhere, I did my best to snap just a couple of low profile pics of Tom and Ruben. These were just quickies, but will also be long lasting proof of the good memories from this weekend. Cheers to Tom and Ruben for doing what they do so well with those bikes of theirs.

Bad luck wind been blowin' at my back
This summer's gonna be a busy one for Ruben. The ending to his Austin > Australia > Austin trip was him sleeping on a bench outside of Barcelona airport because of a ten hour layover. After one night in his own bed, he was back at the airport, this time to fly to London to meet up with Joe and Tom for the Nike pool comp.
T-1 Sunglasses: Our online store orders for T-1 sunglasses are a little backed up because we were temporarily out of stock. That, plus the Oz tour, the Nike comp this weekend and a bunch of other projects, means that we're a little behind in getting them sent out. Sorry for the delay and thanks for your order and patience. It's much appreciated! We'll try to have them shipped as soon as possible. Thanks!

OUT FOR JUSTICE JAM
There are those that talk about good ideas, and there are those that follow up on them and make those wild ideas a reality. Adam Schnellenbach has taken the steps to make reality his choice. On 4/2/11 the Out for Justice Jam at FDR in Philly will take place. Here is some insight behind what motivated Adam to put this event together. Damn fine words I must say Adam...
"I've had the idea in my mind for quite some time it just took a trip down to Texas to make this all come together and realize hey this can work. I spent two weeks down in Austin to hang with some friends and to just escape the harsh reality that is the Northeastern PA winter. After seeing the way different crews of men and women on bikes get along and travel in different groups around the city to be honest shocked me. We don't have that here in the City Of Brotherly Love. So after a drunken night out with Sandy, Grant, Gogo, and Corrigan, hearing about the upcoming BSD jam, I got off my ass and started sending out emails to make this happen and help the BMX community unite a bit at one of the best parks in the world FDR. My other reason is Van Homan, a legend to all had his head injury over the summer and his wife Sam got me onto do the, "Head First" helmets article in Dig which seems to be a big success. So I knew Van was down with the Athlete Recovery Foundation so why not have a donation bin at the jam with all money going to the ARF. So that's what we did, somehow I pulled off some amazing sponsors to help out and I'm sure this will be a blast. So bring your bikes, beers, a few dollars for the ARF if your feeling it. And STAY OFF THE POOL COPING YA TWATS!
Let's make this a Saturday to remember."

If you post your question(s) in the T-1 Facebook comments, we'll pick a bunch of them and see what kind of answers we get.
In order to try and keep some order, we'll do different posts for each rider, so post your question(s) underneath whichever rider it's aimed at.
Each time we do this we'll randomly pick a winner and they'll receive a pair of T-1 grips.

BLACKEN ATX PARTY TOMORROW!
To all riders in the Texas / Austin area:
I am honored to be a guest on Mega Tour 10 with FBM and having the time of my life in Texas and with my BMX brothers.
I was thinking that a lot of times on these trips the "teams" don't get a chance to spend time together or connect with the older locals who have been building a scene for decades. After some thought, I decided one of the best ways to connect everyone is to have an awesome Party / Punk / Metal Show with all of the riders of Austin and on Mega Tour!! With just a little over 24 hours notice, we just booked the plane tickets and Japanther is flying in tomorrow!! We are also super excited that Tia Carrera is going to be playing along with the Gentleman Rouges.
The show is only $5 to help support the bands and there will also be a free beer tasting from Thirsty Planet from 9 to 9:30, so get there early for free beer. There will be a bunch of surprises along with some classic BMX videos being shown by Stew Johnson!
And to the younger guys in Austin, I'm sorry that it's 21+ but I will be down here for South by South-West and we are working on some all ages shows with BMX trails - keep you posted.
See you at the party!!

Behind The News Interview
It's really inspiring to see the BMX community banding together to help people in need.

NUMBERS ELF
Salt City resident Elf posted news about the Salt Mob Blog on 5050BMX, so we thought it'd be a good time to unearth this old 'Number's Up' that he had back in DigBMX55.
Tom has a couple of new little videos online, and flights to India and Australia in his future...

GROUNDCHUCK
Isaac McCrea is someone that had way more impact on me that I realized. Well, that is until yesterday. Isaac " Groundchuck " McCrea is from Pittsburgh, PA. Back in the legendary days of PUSH, he was a household name in the BMX world of trails. Great dude, had an awesome dad named Larry, and possessed some of the most stylish, effortless riding one could ever hope for. I got a text from Stew Johnson the other day saying that Isaac was going to be in town for a day. What?! It had been 13 years since I saw this dude last. I instantly went digging around in one of my old photo albums in search of a few pics I had taken of him long ago. When I found them, I think that's when it really hit me. He could do these things so easily, which I would spend years and years in pursuit of. Well, Isaac showed up at my front door yesterday, and it was as if nothing had changed. Same great dude! We caught a quick bite for lunch, along with his wife and Stew. Then proceeded to ride a few lines together down at 9th St. It brought back a lot of memories of riding in the trees of Pennsylvania with him. Funny enough, I believe I even heard him say, "I've been waiting since I was 15 to ride this place!" To have both Isaac and Chase at 9th, and be riding with them both, created a bit of a moment for me. Here are 2 guys, that had rewritten what style was all about riding BMX bikes. What a day. I'll be thinking about this one for awhile...

REWIND TO FORWARD
Hola mates! I just noticed that someone put this old video part on Vimeo. Maybe many people haven't seen it because it was a bonus part in the Etnies DVD 'Forward'. This part was made with the stuff leftover from the original part... I hadn't seen it in a while so it was cool to see it again.
I hope you like it. It's crazy for me to think that this stuff was filmed 10 years ago. Wow!

RUBEN IS THE MAN
Ruben thinks differently from a lot of people. Not everyone would come up with the idea of making a video to thank the people that have supported them throughout the years. Words don't do justice to how much he has influenced and inspired the BMX world, and words can't properly describe how grateful we are. Check the video and raise your coffee cup to him. Cheers, amigo! Gracias por todo.
A bunch of Tom videos from his UK trip last summer have been popping up on 4Down's Facebook page as of late. Here he tries to make friends with some sheep.
There's a bunch more posted there too, so have a look around.
Fresh from the printers - Badge mesh caps in new color combos. Available at T-1 stockists. We'll be adding a new mesh cap and a long sleeve thermal t-shirt to the T-1 online store soon. Hope you like 'em!

MEL CODY - ALLENTOWN
I stumbled across this (Mel_Cody_video) last night on exclusivebmx.com, and then I got an email from Sandy Carson today with the link. This video is so crazy to me, as it was the first contest I had ever gone to when I first got into riding. Mel Cody has been a great friend of mine for a long time, and back when this was filmed, I thought he was a super hero. I had no idea people that lived around me could ride like this. Watching this brings back some really good memories, and I know I'm standing somewhere over there in the crowd. Damn, this is the kind of stuff that ignited that BMX fire inside.

More Ruben coverage! Fly released their third full video and it's a beauty! Here it is - Tres. And, Pitu made an edit to commemorate the end of the Arroyo trails. RIP.

A WEEKEND IN ZARAGOZA
This past weekend I went to Zaragoza to hang out and ride with my old friends (David and Sergio) from the BMX bike shop Dagroove
(T-1 distro & Flybikes carrier) and their crew.
I had a great time and got to to ride some nice spots. All the locals there were very nice and made my days there great.
Zaragoza is a great city to pedal around with a lot of old buildings (don't miss the magic of Pilarica), nice streets with a lot going on, good food, nice spots to ride... Not bad at all...
Good city to go ride for sure.
Thanks to Dagroove for making this happen and all the locals that came to hang out.
I'm coming back so I hope to see you soon!
Viva la Pilarica!

Barcode Progress
So here is the latest on what's going on with the Barcodes. Big Dave from FBM was just down in Austin this past week. He stopped by and we went to the coffee shop to have a chat about what all was going on with the frames. Everything is shaping up nicely to say the least. The only bit that has changed is the time frame on them. Originally we thought they might get started this month ( November ). Due to their production schedule at FBM, Dave will be starting on the Barcodes after the first of the year. They are supposed to deliver sometime during the first half of February. There are still a few minor adjustments to make after getting the Interbike sample. Once the new tooling is set up, Dave is going to run one frame all the way through and next day it to me to OK. Once that happens, go time it is! We will be posting any progress that gets made with these. Hang in there!

ANTHILLS TRAIL JAM, HOUSTON
I woke up at 7:30am excited as can be. Take a quick rinse off shower, put the bike rack back on the Pfinder, go round up the dudes and load up. My car packed with Logan, Joseph Frans, Turner, Mr Hickerson and myself headed to Houston for a jam at some local trails known as the Anthills. It was a great scene to arrive at to say the least. A bunch of friendly folk, hangin' out in the woods having a good time. Pretty much the mantra for trails in general ! I had a blast and enjoyed the day down thanks to so many great people. Special thanks goes out to Anthony for arranging everything and making the day a reality. Here are a few pictures and captions to respark some memory banks out there !

BACK FROM SOMEWHERE
Apologies for the lack of updates recently. There's a lot going on (new Barcodes, new clothing, new catalog, etc., etc.).
We just got a Barcode back from the painters in the new Tom Dugan Red. No definite release date yet, but it's leaning way more to the sooner side than the later one.
Thanks a lot to Tunney for the ESPN post.
Stowaway have been pumping out a lot of Australian T-1 updates recently. They have a new video from Russ and Leigh dropping soon, as well as an exclusive to Australia poster... Noice! Look for Russ' Ruben colorway landing later this month.
Sorry - only in Oz...

PRODUCT UPDATE
We've updated the product sections (more info on the SFA soon). The Hang Loose mesh hats are on their way to the distros, and we're gathering orders for the new Barcodes. This time they'll have more tire clearance, an integrated seat clamp, welded or removable brake mount options, a 3D gusset on the down tube (the 3D gusset doesn't sit flush to the tube. It creates a small space in between the gusset and the tube, forming a small box. This added area gives it more strength), and will be available in Black, Clearcoat and Tom Dugan Red.
There's a cool little Q&A with Sandy over on Defgrip about his new book. Treat yourself!

PARADISE HAS RELOCATED
Reet! Sandy's book is finished! Buy it here, please! There's also a launch/solo show at OKM in Austin next month.
The video interview with Ruben for Radio BMX Magazine Issue 2 is now online.

How good is that Ruben photo by Sandy?
Keeping the Scottish connection going... John Rattray has a clip from the backyard up on the Thrasher site. Search for other Rattray videos and see how much of a ripper he is...

JOEL DAY
"The first symptom of the process of killing our dreams is the lack of time. The busiest people I have known for all my life always have enough time to do everything. Those who do nothing are always tired and pay no attention to the little amount of work they are required to do. They complain constantly that the day is too short. The truth is . . . . they are afraid to fight the good fight!" - Paulo Coelho
That quote is from an old ad we ran of Joel, that you can find here - Joel_BSpin_Ad. You can also find an interview we just did with him here - Joel_Interview - and some never seen before clips of him that Joe filmed and put together here - Joel_Video.
We hope you'll fnd it all inspiring.

HELLS YEAH!
After many long years of city council meetings, and hard work, followed by a year or two of the waiting game, Austin City Council authorized the final contracts yesterday for the construction of Austin's BMX and Skate Park downtown. It will take another few weeks to tie up some loose ends, so it's anticipated that the construction will break ground sometime in July. This is a huge deal as it will be the first bike/skate park in and around the Austin area. I can remember thinking at all of those city council meetings, "I really hope this works . . . . and if this really does happen, I wonder how long it will take". I think it's been a good 5 or 6 years since that time. But all that matters is that the beginning is near.
Good stuff!
- Joe

EASE DOWN THE ROAD
If you've ever come to ride the T-1 ramp, then you surely know the sound of the chain being unlatched as the gate opens. This familiar sound is 8 years running. And although it was familiar, it was also annoying to have to do and undo the chain every time. Clint Reynolds has been in town for most of the winter. As of today, he will start his long journey home.
On Thursday Clint came by with an amazing farewell contribution for T-1. Not only did he fabricate this gem, but also welded it on the gate! P-R-O install to say the least! Sooooo good! Thanks so much Clint, see you next winter!

Mike has been improving more and more each day. Seeing clips of him riding makes us all feel so good. Yeah Mikey! However, the medical bills are still there, and hopefully this can help out a little bit.
Supplies are limited (only 9 are available) and each one is an original. Choose either the fold out style, or the simple single pouch. Enjoy!

THE PALE BLUE DOT
Well, things don't always go as planned... Tonight, instead of announcing next month's dates for the T-1 Australian tour, where it was going, and who was gonna be on it... We're announcing that the tour's been postponed until the Australian Spring.
Unfortunately, Ruben took a pretty heavy slam and it's unlikely that he'd be 100% fit in time. Plus,the Oz tour was to follow immediately after Danny's two week long Empire fliming trip in Spain, so it would be easier on everyone to wait a little while longer.
Thanks to Jamie at Stowaway for all of his help.
Finishing on a positive note: Any news post ending with Mogwai is always a good thing. Right?

CYCLOPS STEM UPDATE
A lot of people have been asking us about the Cyclops stems throughout the past months. They were set to be released at long last, towards the end of October of last year. So what happened? Where are they? Well, let's just say it's been a roller coaster of events. Everything was in line for them to happen, and then the bottom dropped out. At the end of last October, we were expecting the delivery of 100 stems, and the reality that we were dealt, left us without a stem manufacturer. It was a pretty rough time and has been ever since. I looked into a few other options but they didn't quite pan out. As of this past week, there is new hope for the Cyclops stem to see life in the near future. Stay tuned for updates, hopefully we'll have some good news for you soon. Cheers !
- Joe

THE ONLY CONSTANT IS CHANGE
Sorry for the lack of updates - not much to report here, there or anywhere.
Due to all the interest shown in our beanies, we upped our order and they will now also be available through select distros and shops. We'll let you know as soon as they come in.
Michael's got a few new things going on, but rather than copy and paste it all here, we'd prefer that you click on the link and spend some well spent time perusing his site. Sieben_Michael.
Thanks.

DECEMBER 21, 2009
Our new beanies will be on their way to us in the middle of January, so expect them to be in the Online Store shortly after. One design (like the mock-up above - rib cuff, heavyweight acrylic), one size, and only one place to buy them - here!
Things will be slowing down over the holidays, so updates might be few and far between...
Best wishes for the holidays and the new year from everyone here at T-1!

JOEL SPRINGS
A quick scan of the new issue of Dig BMX made us realise that we had to scrap a future Freaky Friday idea. We all must have been tuned into the same wavelength cause we'd planned on doing a FF homage to Austin's premier swimming spot, Barton Springs, but Empire had the same idea (Joel Ad) and beat us to the punch! If you're gonna lose, best to lose to some of Austin's finest!
Joel flipped and Devon snapped.
Have a good weekend.

For the next week the news updates are (probably) gonna slow way down cause... We're no here.
You can busy yourself by browsing around Sieben's new site, if you want.
Or if you're near Austin, there's always the social ride ending in a show at T1 this Thursday (we'll be here).
Or the Cantanker Magazine release and exhibit at the Pump Project Gallery in East Austin, where Sandy's showing a piece from his Hurricane Ike project.
Saturday, August 29th, 7-10PM.
Have fun.

In the land of the blind,
the one-eyed man is king
Finally we have an update regarding the new products. We'll have a shipment arriving in the Fall and this'll include Ruben's frame, plus new bars and the new sprockets.
The Ruben frame's coming in three color options: two tone Light Blue/Dark Blue, two tone Cream/Grey and also in Solid Black. The toptube lengths will be 20.6", 20.8", and 21.15" and the weight is around 5 pounds even.
There's also two sets of multi-butted bars. 11 butts to be exact. There is one model with an 8" rise / 28" width, and an 8.25" rise / 28.5" width. They will be available in Black, Raw and Cream.
The "Logan's Run" sprockets. Sizes: 25T, 28T and 30T, in Black, Red and Silver.
Right around the same time that stuff is available, we'll have a run of Cyclops stems too. It's looking like Black and Polished will be the first 2 colors available. But there will be more runs to follow in a few different colors. Reach: 53mm. Weight: right at 10 oz.
SFA frames: These will be manufactured by Solid Bikes. They are just waiting to get some remaining parts in, and they should start production. These will be more of a novelty item, as our cost on them has gone up a lot.
Because of the price increase, we won't be able to sell these through distributors. They would just cost way too much. So these will be sold to customers direct, and some bike shops too. So if you are interested in one of these beauties, please contact me at: info@terrribleone.com. Please put SFA frame on the subject line.
Barcodes: We are currently waiting for another prototype with some minor changes from the first prototype we received. I will post pictures as soon as it comes in. These will be available very soon and will be sold through distributors and bike shops.
Thanks.

Team news (is really thin on the ground): Austin residents Joe and Sandy are both on holiday. Joe went west to Cali (and is camping in the Big Sur?), and Sandy went east and is riding in the Highlands of Scotland.
Stay-at-home-Sieben is (probably) at home working on his new website (while you're waiting you can check out the new goodies at Roger Skateboards). Aussie Rusty is recovering from an ankle injury (good luck to Backbone with their new shop!).
And everyone else is... doing their thing.

And, the frame news is that we are proud to announce Solid will be making limited runs of Garrett frames and Barcodes! We'll post all the relevant info as soon as we have it. As far as news on the Ruben frame, all of the new bars and the new sprocket(!) goes... We're expecting those to be available in early summer. Again, you'll know more as soon as we know more (actually, we'll know a little bit before you... ). Thanks for your patience.
To finish up, Mikey has a new Blog over on Fecal Face. It's low in fat yet crammed full of inspirational goodness!

The first Freaky Fridays of May are landing in Inboxes right about now, but if you're playing catch-up and need to know what Paul Buchanan did in the middle of a Garrett Byrnes/Ryan Corrigan train, or what the previous week's looked like, then you can find them all on our Myspace page.
Thanks a lot to everyone who sent in photos of their Freaky Friday masks. We've got a few examples for you here - Freaky Masks.
And, there's also a Quick Talk with Ruben over on the Dig site. DigBMX
Have a good weekend.

el cumpleañero
Some news about last week's birthday boy... There's a new issue of Dig out which features a Fox trip to Spain. Joe shot the photos and wrote the text for that article (click on the Ruben photo above), and is finishing up the web edit which'll be appearing soon on the Fox site. We'll let you know when that's online. In the meantime, you could always pick up a copy of Dig... DigBMX
There's also a Joe Rich Wednesday Playlist up on the In The Gnar website, which ties in nicely cause they also posted Joe's old Dig cover from Burnside. Flip your bike upside down.
One more Cyclops photo...

CYCLOPS
We've got some Cyclops news. Nah, not about Ray Harryhausen's monster but about our own little monster - the T1 Cyclops stem.
In 2-3 weeks we should have finished samples. That means, anodized and etched stems which just have to be okayed and then production will start. It's been a long road of testing and refining, but one we feel was necessary in order to produce the best possible product. Many thanks to Povah, Phil at Super Rat Machine Works and everyone who helped with the testing and who gave us feedback. We hope you'll like it. Thanks for your patience.
And, here's a little Youtube find to finish this post off. Tape shredder.
Have a good weekend.

THE WAY WE APPEAR ON THE INTERNET
Okay, it seems that last week's Freaky Friday email caused some confusion. Personally, I'm all for that, but anyway, here's the thinking behind it... We did a Google image search for people with the same name as T1 riders. Some drew blanks but the elusive Mr. Buchanan's name drew the rather elegant looking gentleman that became our Freaky Friday subject. Noice, huh? Ah well, here's how art genius Michael Sieben really looks... Or is it???

I MUSTACHE YOU A QUESTION
Sometimes life gets in the way of living. That's the lame excuse for the lack of updates recently. We were on a roll for a while, but sadly, we dropped the ball. Ah well...
There's a new copy of Dig floating about and Boaby Buchanan makes a rare appearance courtesy (Curtis-ly?) of Sandy's digi soul stealer. Ruben also adds to the T1-related facial hair coverage with a Fly trip to Moscow. Pick up a copy and witness him rushin' around. DigBMX
If you find yourself in or perhaps transcending planes around ATX next week, then treat yourself and check out the Psych Fest 2 (March 13-15). The Black Angels, Dead Meadow and more will be playing over the course of the weekend. 'Austin’s psych cult heroes, The Golden Dawn performing their 1968 album ‘Power Plant’ from start to finish.' Tune in, turn on and click here for more details.
Have a good weekend.

Plus, on a related note, we really appreciate all of the interest everyone's shown in our new products. We're busy tying up a few loose ends and we think it'd be better to wait and post hard facts regarding their availability, rather than speculate. Thank you all so much for the enquiries and the continuous support. It is all very much appreciated.

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART ONE
When team or product news is thin on the ground, you can always rest assured, safe in the knowledge that in some dark, distant edge of the internet... there's news about Sieben's activities.
Slap Magazine have posted a Tenskis with Michael, while Volcom's TV channel ups the weirdness levels with a Magnus Randell's Inquisition. As a life partner to art are you offended, in this country, that you cannot marry art?
Have a good weekend. Roger and out!

Well, it looks like we're ready to roll with the Freaky Friday thing. We weren't kidding when we said we don't know exactly what it is.

T1 desktops !
So since we posted pictures of our new sweatshirts yesterday, We thought it would be sweet to offer some simple desktop images based on the new Bullseye and Goat Reaper designs. If you like the artwork and are broke, maybe this will be a quick fix for wanting a sweatshirt. Cheers !
Choose your size
Bullseye Desktops: 800x600, 1024x768, 1440x960, 1680x1050
Goat Reaper Desktops: 800x600, 1024x768, 1440x960, 1680x1050

frigid air soultions
One thing I've noticed, is that we are always late with getting our sweatshirts out for the season. Most of the time, its already getting warmer by the time they are in stores. Well, I feel like we are ahead of our usual game this year at least. And I just saw a news bit today that it was 40 degrees below zero last night in Minnesota. So these should at least help y'all with keeping warm over the next months.
I had this idea that I wanted to see a back print again on a zip up sweatshirt. So Michael and I thought that the Goat Reaper would be perfect for that. To me it looks more like some heavy metal band's hoodie. That was the goal. I'm sure more than a few of you will laugh at the Bullseye design. I feel like its very fitting for us in a fun way. Not to mention, I really like the arrows that are printed on the hood.
Both of these sweatshirts are printed on 50/50 American Apparel Sweatshirts. So most of you should like the fit. Although some of us may have to go up a size. ha ha. Enjoy.

the day before tomorrow
Happy January 12th to everyone. And why wouldn't it be?! It seems like the new Dig Magazine "trials issue" has been quite a hit. There is so much good stuff packed into those pages and it seems that everyone wants to have one to call their own. Don't miss out. I thought it would be appropriate to keep their energy flowin' and include some dirt on this post. Here is a picture of the new Ruben frame prototype built up and in action. So far everything has been going well with testing. We are waiting on one more prototype to correct the height of the bottom bracket. Apart from that. Everything seems spot on. Fingers will continue to stay crossed. As you can see, Ruben seems to be liking it during this 3. Also, you can check out more specs on the frame in by clicking on the "frames" button to the right of this posting. Thanks for stopping by !

Happy New Year !
Well, here we are, 2009. What a trip. Even though measured time is something we made up, it still seems so crazy to think about how quickly days, weeks, months and years pass by. January 1st is always such a good day. People seem to look at things with a new light and enthusiasm. There is plety of talk of change and how we are going to be better people this year. We just gotta make sure we actually follow our words, not just say them with empty meaning. Ponder that one for awhile. Here in T1 land, this year is starting off right because Paul Buchanan is back in town. I can remember when I'd see that guy everyday. And his return was an instant reminder of how great that dude is. So "Cheers" to Paul for starting this year off right ! Its going to be a good one ! So with that being said, I would also like to mention that the great Shoe-G did and interview with me ( Joe Rich ) for his website and is posting it in 2 parts. The first one is up now and the 2nd part will be posted this week. If you are interested in what may lie within it, click here ! Cheers to y'all and Happy New Year !

Happy Holidays !
It tis that time of year again isn't it. Wow, does time fly. I first want to start by thanking everyone that's helped us make it another year. Its been a doozy of one to say the least. Maybe a year that has brought about the most change in what we do in awhiile. I can only imagine what I'll be typing here at this time next year . . . Since it is the season for giving, you might want to give a moment of your sign the petitiion that some guys from PA need help with. These are the same guys that have been fighting to keep the Catty trails from getting plowed. And all of their hard work has paid off, and now they are approaching the state to help change one of the laws that was working against them. If this passes, it will could help enable future trails and skateparks to happen. Click here to sign. In similar news regarding these same guys, Matt Trievel and Brian Barnhart have created an online zine called "The Dust Journal" and have just released their second issue. Click here to check out Axelrad. Take care and Happy Holidays to you all. Cheers !

images galore !
Greg Dickson came over to ride the ramp for the first time the other day. Greg is a rad dude that shares his time on the bike with taking great photos as well. Click here to check out some of his snaps of Tom D and roomy Joey, along with one of myself. This could be any random day in the T1 backyard.
We also got some new sticker sheets in and up on the online store. They are all black ink printed on whilte vinyl that you cut out yourself. We even drew a little pair of scissors on the sheet so that you know what to use ! Cheers !

Today was a good day !
Sun was shining, weather was perfect, and the newest prototype version of the Cyclops stem arrived this morning. These photos might not look that much different than the last ones, but I can tell you that this might be the final prototype for the Cyclops stem. Phil Wasson, from Super Rat Machine Works, worked some magic with the inner workings of the wedge clamping system. And the results are nothing short of excellent. I sent one off to Danny today and put the other one on my bike. Damn, I sure am exctied about these things. Its been a long road of testing and refining, but when they do finally become available, they will be the best that we could do. Here are a few more pictures for you to see. Cheers Pic1, Pic 2, Pic 3

19 days . . . that's bad !
I'm definitely not proud of this one, but I guess its been 19 days since the last news post . . . I might as well try and make light of it. There will be more to report in this upcoming week. Tomorrow is an exciting day for me. I'm to receive the 6th, yes 6th version of the Cyclops stem. Its been through months of fine tuning and my fingers are crossed that this will be the one that gives the green light to the prodution of them. So expect more photos of these tomorrow after they arrive in the PO BOX. On a lighter note, the ramp out back is finally all back together. We made one small, but not so small change to the kicker hip that runs into the 8 ft quarter. It used to be about 3 and a half, to 4 feet tall, and had a 11 or 12 ft transition. I had the bright idea of thinking we should make it the same size as the box jump lip. ( 6 ft tall with a 9 ft tranny ) Its pretty nuts and will need to be cut down a bit, but for now, it stands tall. That big ol bowl corner before it makes it a bit to hectic to deal with. Check it here. And to round out tonights entertainment, click here for some downhill insanity ! These guys are nuts ! Adios for now . . . .

Camera handle solution !
A few years back, we made a handle that you could easily bolt on to your small video camera to make filming while riding a bike much easier. Perfect for the follow cam. These came about because the more expensive cameras have handles built in, but there is no much of a choice if you have a smaller camera. Well, we got a cease and desist from some miserable bastard that was claiming he had a patent on a similar design. Not the case, but we stopped making them. Since that time, I've had so many emails asking to us to make them again. In comes our friend Steve to the rescue, with a perfect idea that anyone can do with an old set of bars and just about any tripod. This is the easiest solution I've seen yet and is Ruben approved ! Soooo good! Happy filming to you all !

Happy Halloween
Halloween is probably my favorite holiday. If you could call it a holiday. Everyone gets to step outside themselve a bit more than usual. I love it. Pumpkins are pretty fun to carve as well. While visiting the east coast last week, I got to partake in a heavy pumpkin carving session in Garrett's kitchen. Russ is part of the T1 family and lives in Australia. He had never gotten to experiece this before so it was extra fun for him. He, and his wife Emily, both schooled it. Garrett's room mate, JB, incorporateda little Mikey Sieben influence. Click the following links to see who did what. Garrett's pumpkin . . . Russ's pumpkin . . . Emily's pumpkin . . . Joe's pumpkin . . . . and JB's pumpkin. Scary stuff. On another note, its seems like someone decided to dress up as Paul Buchanan for Halloween in Vancouver ! Ok, maybe not, this is acually Paul getting rad at the Kirkstone park in BC. I think this is one of the first pictures of Paul you can actually see his face. Thanks goes out to Chester Jones for sending those to us. Happy Halloween everyone, the night's about to get good!

Stage 1
There is something about getting a stack of new lumber that never gets old. Once all of the rotton wood had been cleared out of the flatbottom on the ramp, it wasn't long before that stack of lumber was put into place. Check it out here. When we first started on the flatbottom, we were only going to be repairing what needed fixin',but once it was all apart, we started thinking more and more. Hmmmm, maybe we should change a thing or 2. stay tuned !
October 14, 2008

Though these were posted a couple of days ago elsewhere, I didn't want to pass up a chance to add some humor to your day. If the photo of me doesn't do it, then my lack of commentary skills will for sure. Both of these links have to do with some of the new products we are doing for 2009 and the Interbike Trade show that happened last month. Thanks Dom from Woozy and Markus from All Ride Distribution for posting these. Cheers

colored grips
Hello everyone ! If you live where there are lots of trees, chances are, you are experiencing some amazing fall colors right now. Unfortunately, when you live in Austin, summer lasts well into the months that welcome fall weather and colors everywhere else. None the less, I can't complain because the weather is niceer than its been in months. However, we have some seasonal color going on here at T1. Right before the Interbike trade show we got our newest shipment of grips in. 5 colors to choose from now, and are available everywhere now. Check them out here

Call it ramp surgery
I've come to realize that when you are creating something new, there is a bit of excitement the entire time you are working on it. But when it comes to a repair, it always ends up being much more than you bargain for.About a week or 2 ago, we noticed that one of the pieces of skatelite on the ramp was cracked. What we thought was that we'd replace a rib or 2 and it would be sweet. Well, a rib or 2 turned into the entire flatbottom needing replacing due to some heavy rotting going on. What can I say though, this part of the ramp has been there for 6 and a half years. The ribs were untreated wood and they've lasted this long ! Amazing for how much attention the ramp gets throughout the year. Anyhow, Here are a couple of photos what it looks like minus the flatbottom. Thanks Ryan Corrigan, Taj, Matt and the Kansas crew for all of their help thus far.Hopefully this will be all finished up by next week. Then its back to roastin ! Cheers

2009 Ruben frame prototype
There was one thing that I never specified when I was writing about our tradeshow booth at Interbike. The booth set up was alll based on the graphics from Ruben's new frame for 2009. Mr Sieben is responsible once again for the splendid imagery. We have had this frame in the works since the beginning of the year, and now the first prototype of it is ours to hold. I will post full specs on it in the next day or 2, but for now, here are a few pictures for you to check out. Frame pic 1 . Frame pic 2 , Frame pic 3 , Drop out pic , Enjoy !

Tom Dugan = radical dude !
The first time I ever met Tom Dugan, was last summer during my week visit to Woodward West. I remember sitting next to the bowl and looking over as he dropped in. The very first wall that he hit, resulted in a solid 9 foot air, and it might have been even higher to be honest. I was instantly a fan. I got to know him a bit there and we became friends. He mentioned that he might be coming to Austin so I gave him my # just in case. "This dude would kill the T1 ramp", I thought to myself. Fast forward to last winter. He and some friends relocated from their Kansas home, and moved to Austin. The group of them are always a treat to have around. Good times, and enjoying the day, is what Tom and his friends are all about. Hells yeah ! Recently, i gave Tom a Hickerson / Moody frame. Wahoo! . . . I've included a few photos above of Tom from earlier this year. Watching this guy is such a treat !

Cyclops stem update & artwork
A lot of you have been asking about the progress on our new Cyclops Stem which was designed by John Povah. Well, for now I have to say this. Its close, real close ! We have one last version to approve and then that should be it. Fingers are crossed. Anyhow, Phil Wasson at Super Rat Machine Works has been working really hard on this and we can't thank him enough for all of his help and input. Also, Michael Sieben dropped off the graphics he's been working on hat will be etched in the anodizing. So I get a pretty good idea of how its going to look. Yeah, these are going to be sweet when they are done ! We are planning on having 2 different designs. One is more artistic, and the other one is just a small logo. The colors are not decided yet, but I just wanted you to be able to see how they might look. Cheers !
September 12, 2008
More Danny on Woozy
Its Friday! Which means if you are out on the town in Austin tonight, then a Danny sighting is more than likely. Also, one of my favorite bands, Mogwai, are playing at Stubbs. Well worth your time ! So in celebration of the good evening, I figured why not link so more photos of Danny today. My "thank you's" today, go out to Dom at Woozy, and Cologne photographer, Joern Streitbuerger, for putting together this photo feature which contains more of Danny's Euro vacation earlier this year. Cheers !
September 11, 2008
Thanks Ricky and Will
I just wanted to extend a big thank you to Ricky Adam and Will from Dig Magazine for letting us use that rather beastly photo of Danny as our new intro page picture. Danny disappeared for 3 months in Europe earlier this year and its easy to see that he took full advantage of his vacation time.

Houston park petition
If you have been riding for any bit of time, this subject is nothing new. Grindline has built yet another masterpiece, this time at the city's edge in Houston. But its the same old story. No bikes allowed. Some of the riders down there have put together an online petition to see if they can get the bike rule over turned. If you search around on Google, you will see some of the completed images of this place. Its amazing. And hopefully one day, we'll all be able to ride it. If you are interested, you can sign the petition here.

Danny Hickerson . . . lost !
Danny Hickerson . . . Lost in Europe . . . Never to return home again . . . well not actually, but quite possibly. Danny has been in Europe for some time now and having the time of his life. I've gotten just one or 2 emails from him saying that he's been loving it. There was a small little video on Woozy popped up of him a few weeks ago, but that's all I've really seen. Mystery man. Can't blame him though, I'd be out enjoying the new new surroundings I was in too. Traveling can make you forget about everything at times, its like being a little kid again.

Cyclops stem update
Let's see. Many of you have been asking about the new Cyclops stems and what the status of them are. Well, the truth is that they are due for one final change and then a bit more testing. This has taken a bit longer than we had thought, but better to get it all right before putting it out there. More news on these to come.

Carson heat
Mr Sandy Carson has finally taken a vacation and is up in the Northwest for a few weeks. Which means the web update duties have been returned to me. And already I'm slackin'. I guess today is the end of that.
Austin has been hot hot hot the past month. I think its the hottest June on record. that has left many of us retreating indoors during the hottest part of the afternoon. And down at Barton Springs in the early evening. The water in the springs stays 68 degrees all year round. Which is a perfect remedy for ever so possible heat stoke. Summer in Austin seems to take on a much different effect that the winters here. As if Austin isn't laid back enough, it gets even more laaaaaaaaaaid back in the summer. Not too many visitors come to visit during this time. But its good in an entire different way.

T1 Fakie comp videos!
So the weekend of fakies has come and gone.
Here are 2 little vids for you to check out.
The first one is in HIGH
DEF of the days shenanigans. My camera ran out of juice before
the actual fakie high air comp started, soooooo, there are not straight fakies
on this video file.
However, this next one is all fakie
footy by Dave Parrick's nibble digi cam. Mat Hoffman
would be proud...
Everything wasn't documented entirely, we just filmed some and put these together
to give you an idea what you missed. My apologies go out to the dude that
pulled the ice fakie on the slab o vert without the aid of pegs. Once again,
my camera ran out of recording space on the attempt that you pulled it ! Oh
well, anyhow, good times in the back yard and thanks to Dave Parrick
for helping me film the majority of the footage that is on here. Cheers !
