News overload...

Morning folks! I spent last week in Les Gets with Riders Retreat whilst the rest of the WO team were working hard on the mag, having babies, moving house...that kinda thing. Was a great week with amazing tracks but not so amazing weather (pissed it down for 5 of 7 days).

Spent the week mostly sliding down the local Les Gets and Morzine tracks plus a day out to Switzerland, which was really good. We managed a quick photo-shoot one afternoon between downpours... here's Gary on the infamous Les Gets Gully run. Full repo and pics in the mag(obviously).


Anyway the press releases have been mounting up whilst I was away...here's a few of 'em.

From Matt at Ison
Team Identiti's Glen Coe has been pulling Double Backflips at CorbySkatepark. After a layoff to recover from his hernia op Glen has been back on it in a big way! He has been riding non-stop over the past few weeks and it has definitely paid off - as the video clip proves!!! Glen recently came into Ison to pick up a brand new P45 Pro Bike and it's good to see he is putting it to good use!!! It has held up to his riding with no problems - proof that the bike is strong enough (yet still nimble) for any rider!!!
