The 2016 Oktoberfest jam went down this weekend and it was a good time. A big thanks to everybody who came out and enjoyed the ramps, rails, ledges, KIND snacks and free Vans shwag! Check out this recap video that Francis Castro put together. Til next year…

Oktoberfest 2016
Mark Burnett
Excelsior
Mark Burnett’s signature frame is designed around a geometry that matches his technical East Coast riding style. It features short chain stays, a taller bottom bracket, a longer head tube, and smaller hollow dropouts with integrated chain tensioners.
Simplicity rules on the Excelsior and it’s built without u-brake hardware and Gyro tab holes. The frame’s front triangle makes use of traditional round MotoRoss style top and down tubes with proven internal gusseting.

Mark Burnett Signature Excelsior Bars

Check out his Welcome video since you’re here:
Alec Siemon
Welcome to Sunday
It seems a little strange to call this a welcome video, as Alec has been repping Sunday for a good eight months now, but I think this video was worth the wait.
Alec has been such a great addition to our team. Traveling with Alec means constantly laughing at his unique, creative, and sometimes puzzling sense of humor, which really doesn’t even begin to describe how entertaining spending time with this guy actually is. Alec is a strange cat, and we couldn’t be happier about it. It’s pretty easy to pick up on Alec’s gift for comedy just from a quick visit to his Instagram (@alec_shmalec) or Snapchat (Shmalec) or even his prized pup Koda’s Instagram (@swaggerkoda), and watching Alec ride, it’s even easier to see how talented he is. Go ahead and click on the video and I’m sure you’ll agree.
