When the MTB race season is over, some guys just kick back, relax, and start thinking of the next years season. Not Intense Tires sponsored Pro Nathan Rennie. Nathan has been talking about setting a World Record Mountain bike jump for quite some time and he went for it this week. Here is some info on the jump attempt.

Nathan Rennie just rang from the Red Bull Jump Site in the Painted Desert of South Australia with news of his121 foot record jump. Nathan was towed in by a motorbike at 96 km/hr (60mph) and piloted his Santa Cruz V10 Downhill Mountain Bike the 121 feet from ramp to landing. He flat landed the front wheel and "blew up" three quarters of the way down the landing ramp.
Nathan separated his shoulder and smashed his prized TLD full face helmet, as well as sustaining cuts and bruising to most of his body. The jump has been classed as "unofficial" by the Guinness Book of Records because of the crash on landing, which has prevented any further attempts at this time.

However, Nathan is elated with his effort and feels the setup could be used for much bigger jumps in the future.
After viewing the raw film footage, Nathan and the Red Bull crew were stoked with the jump, and are looking forward to putting together the half hour package for Red Bull on free to air T.V.”

Josh Oie wins ABA Fall Nationals and turns AA Pro

The Fall Nationals are one of the biggest ABA events of the year, and the A Pro class is on of the biggest classes at the event.
Intense/Challenge racing Pro rider, Josh Oie, has been winning Pro events all summer and was just a small amount from winning enough money to turn AA Pro. On Saturday, Josh easily made his way into the A Pro main event and once the gate dropped, he was the rider to beat. After the 3rd round, Josh had low points and took the overall win on his Intense Sabot and the $750 1st place pro purse.
Josh was just $40 away from the cap to turn AA, and had one last A pro race on Sunday. Unfortunately, 2 crashes kept Josh to 8th overall, but gained him enough prize money to turn AA pro for the next event, the ABA Grands. Look for Josh, and the rest of the Intense sponsored teams and riders to be in Tulsa, Oklahoma later this month at the ABA Grand Nationals. Also look for Intense to be up for the ABA bike of the year.
Intense BMX manufactures the Sabot Frame in 12 different sizes and in 5 different colors. Intense also manufactures the Intense tire brand, with 4 different tires, form the #1 tire for little riders, the Micro Knobby, the Haalo, the Hustler, and the Hellfire.
