Sombrio Wheels for Life Pumptrack Jam in San Francisco this Saturday
Sombrio is teaming up with Bike Magazine, Boombotix and Ride SFO to bring their pumptrack to San Francisco this Saturday, November 3. Everyone is invited to join the party. The pumptrack will be set up from 3pm to 7pm in Lot C of the AT&T Park (1144 3rd Street). The event is free for all to attend with demo bikes, helmets and pads available for use.
The Sombrio Pumptrack has been travelling around Canada and the US for the last two months and has been set up at events including Cranworx, InterBike, The Tara Llanes Classic, and Outerbike. Everywhere it goes the track inspires an audience of riders to try it for the first time, to ride it faster or to double the whoops (evenly spaced rollers). Pumptracks instill skills that transfer to the trails, they teach you how to pump the terrain to gain speed, improve your cornering, maintain momentum and most importantly how to have fun on your bike!

Spank Industries 777FR Darren Berrecloth Series
An evolution of the Spike 777EVO
The new Spike 777FR is based on the geometry of our original 777EVO, but that’s where the similarities end. With Darren Berrecloth’s help we have developed a burlier version of our popular 777 DH race bar. The 777FR is constructed of a new dynamically work hardened 2-series alloy (EVO version is a Super-6 Alloy), has dramatically lengthened tapers through the bend zones (using our Dual XGT “Extreme Gradual Taper” butting technology), and slightly thickened clamping zones. We have taken every step possible to enhance ultimate strength and fatigue life, but without taking away from the comfortable “damping” effect we achieved when we brought XGT technology to the market.
From the purple rain Chris King kit to the Willy Wonka edition Steve Peat guide to the understated FR version of Spank’s already-sweet DH bar, there’s lots to drool over here – and if you’re in the Bay Area maybe you want to check out the pumptrack jam. Any of this stuff strike your fancy?
