Roots

Company Background:

With the deep-rooted influences and experiences from the collective, Division 26 is spreading its message and converting dedicated athletes and style conscious into the D26 Devoted. Originally we set out to create a line of clothing that did justice to the hard core mountain bike culture and its converging influences, but we soon found that not only were hard core mountain bikers embracing the line, but so were people from all aspects of action sports including skating, BMX, surfing, snowboarding, moto and wakeboarding.

We wanted to grow this company organically and let it take on a life of its own; a true rider owned and operated company. We always knew we would embrace the other core sports that have meant so much to us growing up, since collectively we have spent decades on the snow, street, surf and stage living it everyday. FORCE THE FUTURE HONOR THE PAST!

Our mission is to shine a light on the culture that we live and breathe, by creating innovative clothing and designs that represent the converging influences of action sports, music and art communities worldwide.

Originally founded by longtime professional musician and action sports enthusiast Dale Rowley in 2006, the company quickly pushed forward with the addition of Local Southern, CA culture Guru Bob Burns and Legendary professional mountain biker/BMX World Champion Eric"EC"Carter. Most recently highly acclaimed graphic designer Adam J Wester who has worked for the likes of Marilyn Manson, Aerosmith, Ticket Master and a host of other huge rock bands has been added to the team as creative director.

Division 26 Clothing features high quality street, sports and music influenced apparel and accessories aimed at the progressive lifestyle. The current line consists of stylish t-shirts, hoodies, jerseys, knitwear, and hats. We are busy designing the new line for 2009 that will include a full line of tees, hoodies, headwear, jackets, belts, socks and accessories so check back often for updates.

D26 Co-Founder Eric "EC" CarterTakes The USA Pro Dual Slalom National Title!



A huge shoutout to D26 Co-Founder and Mongoose Pro for putting yet another feather in his cap of accomplishments. Not only has he been killing it in BMX and MTB for over 20 years he continues to prove he can win on any given day. He showed the young up and comers what a true veteran does by lulling them to sleep in the early rounds and straight sticking it to them in the final rounds.

Team Pro Rich Houseman Crowned National 4X Champion!



We couldn't be more stoked for team pro Rich Houseman after winning the UCI national 4X Championship this past weekend in Angel Fire, NM.  Rocket is a super great guy who always represents himself and the sport of Mountain biking in a positive way. He deserves to stand atop the podium and were happy to have him flying the Division Clothing flag! Keep ripping Rich we got your back covered.

August Video Throwdown Winners!

Thanks for all the entries into the August Video Throwdown! Each time we do this contest it gets a bit bigger and we have a blast watching what you guys can dish out.

This months winner of a new Tech Square Logo Tee and Platoon Knit Cap is Trevor Wittman who simply killed it with his aggressive style and powerful lines. This kid can boost some airs and lands everything with style. We think you'll agree he was the man to beat see for yourself watch the video.



This months runner up who will win a free knit cap of his choice is Jared Melnyk! Jared has some really nice rail slides and a few flips, but the sickest thing Jared brought was his sack when he hucked the big road gap more than once! Had he not begun his spin so soon on the first one, he would have stuck it for sure and almost made the 540 anyway! Not sure if you actually landed that because you clipped it off too early to tell well just imagine you did! Check it out for yourselves.



Also a big shout out to Jon Harrison for motivating his friends to come vote and he is being repaid for his efforts were sending him a free shirt as well. See It Pays to Reprezent!
