"Video Friends" online magazine!

We've put together a little online magazine/flipbook with a bunch of photos and interviews from the "Video Friends" trip (which we posted the video for late last week).  Feel free to check it out below, and let us know what you think!

TartyBikes - "Video Friends"

Our latest team video is now live!  Featuring Adam Bessell, Ali C, Joe Maher and Stan Shaw getting to grips with some new and old spots around Hathersage, Matlock, London and Portsmouth.

Monday, monday, monday!

We usually get one or two videos appear in our inbox after a weekend and here we have a couple which will hopefully liven your Monday morning up. Firstly, we have a video from a group of riders down south who were frustrated with the usual rubbish UK weather, so got together and made an indoor riding area which looks a lot of fun! Featuring a host of riders including our own Adam Bessell and Joe Maher.



We also have a new video from our team rider Adam Morewood who seems to get better with every video! This one features him riding some awesome rocks up at Higger Tor. Enjoy.

Videos and video-related products!

A couple of videos to post up today - firstly, Joe Maher has tried getting to grips with his new camera by heading to the Barrow Barn and getting some moves done.  Speaking of Radical Bikes/Barrow Farm - if you'd like to help them win £1,000 to improve the facilities there, click here to vote.  It's free, easy and doesn't require registering or any of that business.



Adam Morewood (who is riding in the black Jitsie Airtime clothing on his prototype Onza Genesis XS frame) invited his friend Sam Shepherd to his house to ride their practise area - amazing riding considering they're both only 10 years old!  Bright futures ahead.



If you're looking for a frame similar to the Onza that Adam's riding or the Monty that Sam's riding, the new Echo Kid 2013 frame might be worth a look.  At £229, it features geometry specifically aimed at younger riders, Echo's 'Spanish' BB system, their neat integrated chain tensioners and the updated Mini Bashplate.  A great frame at a great price!

Lastly, if you're in the habit of making videos yourself and own a GoPro, our latest product is the SP United GoPro POV Case - a handy yet tough storage case for all models of GoPro Hero and HD Hero cameras.  Click that link for more info.

Fast times...

Mondays are usually our busiest day as we catch up with weekend orders and e-mails, and it got a lot busier when we received a selection of new parts too!  First up, we've got the brand new TNN Engineering ADMs, TNN Engineering ADVs and TNN Engineering AD Refills.

These pads are named after Andrew Dickey, who you may have seen in  his Black Bike and Elemental videos:





They were tested with Andrew and many other of TNN's team, including our very own Cap, Stan Shaw and Joe Maher.  You can see Joe putting his through their paces in his recent GETcreative video entry:

Joe GETS creative...

Joe Maher has got his GETcreative entry uploaded, and it's a near-8 minute epic!  Filmed over 2 days in and around Southend, this video's got a cool mix of big and creative streety riding.  A couple of good crashes too...



Good luck to all our team riders who've entered the comp, and a big thanks to Ben Rowlands for organising it!  If you'd like to check out Flipp and Ali's edits, just hit the 'GETcreative' tag below.

Joe Maher - Bish Bash Bosh!

I think we may have missed posting this up originally, so just in case - it's now been added to the website!

Flawless DIY skills...

MK to BF video!

Adam Bessell has been a friend of ours for a long time now, and with the recent change-up to our team line up we decided to get him involved.  A 'Welcome' video's been in the works for a long time, but weather and time have both been holding back our progress.  The break in the weather last week gave us a chance to meet up and have a ride, so Ali C and Joe Maher came out and rode Milton Keynes and Barrow Farm for a bit of team bonding.  Isn't that nice?

New Joe Maher video!

Joe's been busy again - but in spite of a hectic demoing and working schedule, he's managed to whip out this edit from Barrow Farm, shot on his new GoPro HD Hero 2 (which we should have in stock soon, hopefully!).



Seems to be getting on with his new Radix pretty well - 24" takeover?!

Joe Maher's new bike and video!

Joe Maher built up a new RockMan Radix build a week ago, and here's his newest video!  Some serious moves going down, and a sweet build.  Click this link to check it out...

Joe Maher's latest vid!

Now the weather's improving gradually, Joe Maher's left the safety of Barrow's barn for the outdoor sections (as well as a bit of street too!).  Still got it!



We've also got a bunch of videos up on the Media page too, so head over there afterwards to see what's up.

Joe Maher - 51.8

"Mr. Productivity" Joe Maher has put out another video from Barrow Farm which is definitely worth a watch! As a little note, Barrow Farm is now open for the year - make the most of our little mini summer and go check it out!

Joe Maher - Fresh Air

Yet another new video from Joe Maher, this time featuring some different areas of Barrow Farm as well as a litle street! Well worth checking out if you need a little pre-ride motivation - click here to view.

More Joe Maher...

Another week and another cool video from Joe Maher - never a bad thing! This video features Joe's trademark style with plenty of power, control and style, as well as a couple of clips from Matt Mitchell.

New video and move progress...

The last two weeks have been pretty full-on, but fortunately we're still on course for our re-opening on Monday! Stay tuned for a new warehouse tour at some point soon, too - it probably won't stay this tidy for long, so we'll need to act fast...

While we were slaving away, team riders Joe Maher and Tom Rankin were making the most of the ever-increasing facilities at Barrow Farm.

New Joe Maher video

Any Joe Maher content is always good to see, and Joe's latest video - a day edit from Barrow Farm's indoor setup riding his new customised RockMan Austin - is all good. A sweet mix of big, tech and creative lines all with Joe's trademark smooth style = good motivation!

Update update update...

The Media page has just been updated with Joe's latest two videos - check it out if you need any inspiration, or if you're planning on hitting Radfest this weekend and want to get a sneak peek at what's available to ride...

Joe's 'Welcome' edit!

Joe Maher's been around the UK scene for what seems like forever, and with his riding constantly improving and him generally being a sound guy it made sense to get him on the team.
