Kudos - well deserved.
Some nice bits from Kona too.
Some goon and Scott, head of sales for the north, and all round top man
Warning modern content. Anyone who swung by with their Kona got papped and were given some freebies. If you follow Kona UK on IG check out the reel with the montage of these tremendous people. It's ace.
Matt and his killer Process
This dude...so stoked when we chatted with him. I'd created this narrative in my head that he might get the odd ribbing from his mates on their spanky new bikes, but for a moment, he was the one with all the plaudits on his Stinky mullett and that he could go back to his mates and show off this pic and the positive feedback he and the bike got. Or something like that. Anyway, his expression sums up how I feel about cycling. It's just "that" isn't it?
A glorious Chute with the iconic glow in the dark decals. Those tyres are £150+ on their own.
Evie with her Process, the morning of the Enduro, which she won. Some really nice colour coordination with the hubs, fork decals, etc. Superb bike.
Repainted Stinky. Almost everyone we spoke to had a Stinky, still has a Stinky, or knew someone who had one. It seems a rites of passage.
Max leant us his pristine '09 King Kikapu for a few hours across 2 days and it got a lot of love. Rightly so, a quality bike and pre-cursor to the "gen 1" Kona bikes of the early '10's.
Josie and her Shonky. She accidently won the pump track on it
Sadly she couldn't replicate the win on the 4 cross with her wicked Process. She's not a fan of the colour, so I corrected her on that, purple never dies!
That decal though...
Who's this dude? Let's not talk about the Kula
No idea who this is either
Good to catch-up with squevil again, with plenty of upgrades since last year on his '97 Lava Dome.
The coolest bike of the weekend, the Honzo 20. Imagine what we could do today if we had bikes like this when we were young. What a ripper!
