Legend Cam Zink will be on his own frame at Rampage this year to retain top of the podium.

For more than four years, I’ve been developing these bikes in full secrecy, prototyping and fine tuning every detail under the radar. Even though my un-branded third proto was already on a cover a few years back 😉
The bike industry, as vast as it is, sits in a position where no company makes the frame I am looking for, and I know there are a lot of people that appreciate this style of riding, and a frame that not only enables it, but makes it easier and more enjoyable- wherever you ride.
My original hope was to have the first small-batch ready for sale earlier in the year, but like anything you are passionate about, it has to be perfect.
Regardless, I have been riding for my own frame brand in 2024 and will compete this Rampage on the latest, longer-travel prototype. This is a dream come true to say the least and I absolutely love these first two trail and DH bikes!
The full launch coming very soon!
Follow and my youchoob for updates to follow this journey 🫶

What a strange opening this was. Thousands of folks visited the areas first mountain bike specific trails in the STL that weekend supervised by the Shed at the direction on the Mayor. A scant 5 days later, legal action was threatened against the owner for being at the park claiming violation of a city ordinance “operating or marketing a business” at city parks. Disgusting what the City of Eureka did and it’s why you haven’t seen any events there in the now 4 yrs.

Don’t donate to this old fundraiser but fun to look back at our first public announcement that revolutionized the MTB Community in STL and led to millions of dollars in moojntain bike specific trails in our state. Thanks to all those that supported my vision….it all worked out as planned to kickstart trails and get our next generation of riders into the sport.

St Louis has 100s of miles of amazing trail but we lack one important thing. A mounta… Adam Scott needs your support for STL's First Mountain Bike Skills Park
