Transition Racing's Time Bandits, Volume 1

8 April 2010  |  
Follow the Transition DH Race Team in our first installment of the Time Bandits video series. In this series, we aim to capture life on the road for a professional downhill race team, including training, practicing, and racing, as well as the occasional factory tour and the drama of travelling to and from events. Volume 1 of Time Bandits takes Transition factory racer Lars Sternberg and filmer Brad Walton to southern California, where Lars does his first race of the season at Fontana to see where he'll need to focus his training for the rest of the season, while team mates Bryn and Jill are training in Australia. In Part 1, we head to Santa Cruz to shred some trails on Lars's new suspension setup courtesy of Fox Shox, then we head in for the Fox Factory tour and follow a fork through the assembly line. Part 2 gives us a glimpse into the Crank Bros design studio in Laguna Beach, followed by some Laguna riding. Then it's off to the races as Lars gets in a practice day at Fontana, and finally we end it with his race run. Stay tuned for Volume 2 where we'll cover the shenanigans of Sea Otter in Monterey!

ABOUT TRANSITION BIKES Transition Bikes is a bicycle company located in Ferndale Washington and is focused on creating trail and gravity oriented mountain bikes. Our philosophy is simple, Rider Owned for Life since 2001. It is not a slick marketing slogan but something that defines who we are as a company. Connecting with our dealers and customers from a rider standpoint is our number one concern. Through outstanding and responsive customer service, and unique niche product design, we create and build relationships with our customers that are important to everyday riders and forgotten by larger companies. When you buy a Transition product you can be assured it has been tested in real world conditions by the same people that design them. We don't believe in using Catalog designs; everything is designed in house by us. Our goal is not to become a huge corporate brand but rather a company the average rider can believe in. Our customers are our family and we get immense joy from seeing them progress their riding to new levels right beside us.
