BLAOW. The Green Machine Arrives.

Building this one up for my girl. That’s right. She’s been riding downhill. Amazing, really, considering she never really rode before. Her first mountain was Highland. What a way to start. Then Diablo. Took me 8 years…

You’ve gotta appreciate the business sense that’s steering the ship over at Santa Cruz. They made a good call on moving to overseas manufacturing at just the right time. They have attracted, retained and marketed some of the best names in racing – and continue to do so. Oh, and their bikes are the shit.
