We like Wood!!

So last November a dear friend of mine said I should check out this company that makes wood bikes..........I always do what my friend says. Renovo Bikes is what I found. I gave Ken a call and said i want something kind of one-off for Street Swell. He was more than willing to accommodate. What I now have is the first bike I've ever had that will never be for sale...take a look and tell me what you think.

When building the bike up I enlisted my long time friend and bike shop owner Frank Mitchell of Moontime Cycles in Edwards Coloarado I told Frank I wanted to make this thing the coolest bike around and I had to have gold parts. Together we came up with parts from Chris King, Formula, Exotic, Phil Wood and Ergon to name a few.

What I ended up with is one of the sweetest looking 21lbs Single speeds around......and it rides like a dream. I am blown away at how responsive and comfortable it is.

Now we have a bike to take to shows that totally compliments our longboards and again proves its hard to improve on nature.

Well done Renovo....well done!

2012 Street Swell Rocket Marathon

You want a board that you can kick to work........go rip a hill and then compete in a 26 mile push race..........you got it!!

Breast Cancer Awareness

Once in a while you get to do something that is about others and not yourself. We spend a majority of our time trying to create boards that do one of two things….give us esthetic pleasure or create revenue . This board is beyond those things…..it was just the right thing to do. In 2010 breast cancer was diagnosed in over 200,000 Americans with a portion of those being men. Our little longboard will not change that….but if we all give a little maybe someday we will find a cure. Building this board was an honor and a privilege.

To bid on this board come to the Breast Cancer Awareness event at the Gore Range Brewery on Monday October 10th, 2011 at the Gore Range Brewery from 6 to 9. Together in small efforts we can make a difference.

2012 Street Swell Cruise Zulu

Here is a quick little video highlighting some of the features on the 2012 Cruise Zulu

Rock'n at Teva Mountain Games

Street Swell riders rip at Teva. Courtney Gregory takes first in men’s single speed, Lisa Poole and Sarah Baskins take 2nd and 3rd in women’s single speed. Great showings by Alex Colman 4th single speed and Paul Gorbold 4th men’s expert…….I’m so dammed proud. Both Ryan Cantrell and Jason Platt did the 4 event mountai...n challenge with great results. The Irishmen Ronan Murray had a strong showing in mens masters. Well done!!

The Rocket

For years we have wanted to offer a board that would fit a more moderate budget but still have that Street Swell feel. It’s finally here. Introducing The Rocket, a 44” pintail that fits the bill. We use an 8 ply maple core and send it to our finishers where they work their magic. We have chosen the cherry sunburst finish for this board as on the Daisy Cutter. An integrated grip top and the Street Swell mark carved into the bottom insure there is no mistaking this for just another plywood deck. We finished the Rocket with Paris 180 trucks, Seismic Avalon 68mm/80a wheels and abec 7 bearings. Scheduled to be priced complete at well under 200 bucks, the Rocket is sure to be a hit. The Rocket will be on hand at the Teva Mountain Games so make sure to stop by the booth and check them out.

Its official, Street Swell will again have a tent at the Teva Mountain Games in Vail Colorado June 3rd thru the 6th. Take the monstrous Daisy Cutter for a paddle as well as ride some of our sweet boards like the new Cruise Zulu.. We will have discounted pricing on all of our boards and other Street Swell products. Come... and check out all of yummy goodness the Teva Mountain Games have to offer.
