Stickers? You want some? We just got some.
It's been a year or two since we replenished the sticker supply. Plus I figure with a brand spanking new website we should probably bust out some new designs to keep things flowing. Good right? So you want some? Or maybe you just curious how much of a horrorshow my remedial design skills have birthed? Either way, pop on in, check them out and learn how you can get some for yourself.
The Great 2010 Crankfire Data Drive - Sponsored by Hydrapak
Buckle up folks! Thanks to Hydrapak, we have a summer long contest of epic (for us) proportions. I call it the "The Great 2010 Crankfire Data Drive", but you can call it, "I usually spend my days at work staring at this website anyways, so I can at least win stuff" contest. The scoop in as few words a possible: Starts March 1st, Ends September 30th. Add, upload, contribute, associate, rate, interact to/with this website - twice a month the people that do that stuff the most will win stuff. Then there is a $700+ grand prize up for grabs. Do it!
The Crankfire Social Media Initiative
Well, it's the 2010's, and it has been official for about 10 years now: we have no choice but to embrace social media. And that's ok because this Crankfire V3 was designed with all sorts of social principles in mind - whatever that means. So what's up? We have established ourselves on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Vimeo, Youtube and MySpace - and we tried to make it as easy as possible for you to simply spread the love!
Your GPS Data Locker
This is part one in our series of what in hell is going on up in here.
We put a lot of effort into making this version of Crankfire as "geographically centered" as possible, and this so called "data locker" is just the start! In a nutshell, you can "roll your own" GPS data files with this. Or you can use it as a geo-bookmarks library. Regardless, if you got a GPS and like maps, this is worth a read.
You are looking at Crankfire V3
Holy crap. Things look a little different right? Yeah they do. That's because we have experienced an upgrade. Everything has changed. For the better. Honestly! Might take a little getting used to, but I promise this is better.
2010 Hydrapak Morro Hydration Pack
Handed off a shiny spanking new 2010 Hydrapak Morro pack to kill your atv for his expert drinking and review abilities. Suffice to say he likes the thing! In a nutshell it is a lightweight well thought out pack putting Hydrapak right up there with Camelbak.
2009 Hydrapak Laguna Hydration Pack
Hydrapak sent me over one of these to check out a while ago. I wrote this review and it sat there for a while as I believed I would publish it on Crankfire V3. So, now that V3 is here, well here the review is. Pretty nice little pack.
DZ Nuts
"DZ-NUTS, Protect Your Junk." Oz wrote up an extra special review about Dave Zabriskies new chamois cream. It needed to be reprinted as an official product review.

LOL, Good bait! Anyway the PP block is started but will certainly need to be monitored and added too if necessary. On a related note, the recently armored section of trail that the PP of note bypassed came through the winter in amazing co...

I thought that it might have been you, I was going to go over and say hi, but it occurred to me that it might be someone clearing the trail and I didn't want to get into an altercation, my description was bait .

I saw some mad old guy out there today with ball huggin dark blue toughskins and a old school bright orange champion sweatshirt on. He was either clearing the path or obstructing it. Right after that I found a huge skull looks like a cow ...

Thanks for the tip. We pulled the grill further away... the siding on our friends house was already a bit melted. He hadn't noticed before.

another word of advice...be careful how close you are to your house!!! I warped some siding due to the heat coming from the grill...and my grill was much further than yours is to your house.

I had heard that this trail was put in to bypass that recently armored section...not a fan at all!! There's already a trail there...why add another??? The armored section can be ridden by ANY ability.
