You may remember a post about Ned and his Morewood Makulu "Man Camp". Man Camp will be receiving green Spank rims and some various other custom bits before it is finished.  Enjoy Ned's work thus far.

NW Cup #1

The Enduro contingent headed for the NW Cup #1 in Port Angeles this weekend.  Jared Hobbs was rocking the #4 plate in the Pro Division.  Jared rode his Morewood Makulu to a final time of 2:57.02 which was good enough for a 17th of 39 Pros at the event.  This was Jared's first race on the Makulu.


Jared protected himself with an interesting combo...iXS Hack Knee Pads and iXS Hack Shin Pads.  The Hack Knee Pads are the ultimate in Enduro protection and lightweight.  He added some shin protection and hit up the DH.  Nice idea!


Scott Punt hit up the Cat 1 race with his Makulu, stay tuned for an event report from Scott on this blog.

Fontucky...Winner, winner; chicken dinner...

Fontana, California was the first stop for the iXS Unique Team to shake off the Winter as a team.  The Team's Makulus were not ready for action so Jackie and Dante climbed aboard one of Unique's other brands for the weekend; still handmade single pivoty goodness.  While the Harmony's got used to their rides Mikey dialed in his 888's on his Izimu with the help of the awesome support at Marzocchi. 


Come race time the sky opened up and the rain began.  Sorry for the lack of action shots, next time we will bring more weatherproof camera equipment.


Jackie got top spot on the podium...not bad for receiving the bike the day before.  Can't wait to get her on her Makulu.  Mikey shared the 2:10 time slot with five others riders good for a 16th spot out of 41 Pro Men.  Dante also having spent a few hours on a new bike pulled a 24th spot with a time of 2:13.09.   


Results:
Pro Women DH
1. Jacqueline Harmony       2:25.12
2. Gabriela Williams            2:27.40
3. Margret Gregory              2:32.43


This is another "W" in the column for iXS, USCO, VP, Cane Creek Double Barrel, Marzocchi, Deity, MRP, and Feedback Sports.


We shared our pit with Privateer racers Ben Mclelland, Ryan Sholes, and a couple members of Unreal Cycles Team Sprockets Grommits.  


Morewood Makulu Rider Results:

Let's get ready for Sea Otter!!!  Wooooooo!

Those Split Tails are BRIGHT!!!
Lance added a dropper post to Mikey Haderer's Izimu right before the race. 
Pretty little ladies all in a row...
VP in the house!
Too hot for the internet? You decide!
Is that a Cane Creek Double Barrel Air on that Makulu?  Dang!
Steve approves this message.
Shhhh...Jackie is resting from her win.
A big thanks to all our sponsors...we hope to put you up on the podium again soon.

Tracey Hannah wins 2012 Australian National Championships

Congrats to Tracey Hannah who took the Australian National Championships! She won by more than 8sec in front of the best Australian riders aboard her Morewood Izimu.  Seriously...can you name another handmade adjustable geo DH bike with a Cane Creek Double Barrel for around $2,100?  That's right...on usa.morewoodbikes.com we spec this bad boy with a Cane Creek shock.  Yes, we ship internationally...but contact your Morewood distro.


That's beside the point.  Tracey has killed it every round in the series!  Here in a few weeks Tracey will switch from her Izimu to a Makulu and attack the World Cup Circuit.  Congrats and good luck!  Go Tracey go!

Tracey Hannah - 2:15:07
Jill Kintner - 2:23:59
Shelly Flood - 2:31:77
Alyssa Lyons - 2:36:01
Lisa Mathison - 2:42:80

More Pink Izimu World Cup Photos...

Ok, sure the rumors have been flying about the WC rider that gets this bike; but, this Izimu has got me thinking.  Maybe we should build Jackie a 34lb. race bike.  VP, Deity, MRP, Cane Creek DB Air, Formula, Marzocchi...
