Session 88 | Bike Shoot

By Dave Piper | March 26, 2011 - 3:04 pm | Dave Piper - Latest Work, News, sports Leave a comment

May introduce you to the SESSION 88 DH /09

The Session 88 platform features all of Trek’s recent full suspension development efforts including the one piece of technology responsible for creating the most active suspension system under braking, ABP. The Session 88 platform also combines Trek’s Full Floater shock mount with a custom-tuned Fox DHX 5 coil shock, delivering the small bump compliance, good mid-stroke control and bottomless feel associated with all of Trek’s full suspension offerings.

Stiffness and strength, balanced with light frame weight, were a major concern for the Trek team. To that extent, Trek’s industrial designers used hydroforming and extensive frame shaping to achieve project goals. Also of note in the frame construction is the one-piece EVO rocker link and E2 tapered steerer/head tube technology.

“Our goal with developing a new Freeride and DH bike is in line with Trek’s guiding principle to have the best in class product for every category we pursue,” said Joe Vadeboncouer, Trek’s product manager. “The new Session products are my personal favourites of all the full suspension bikes we build at Trek.”

LONDON’S OFFICIAL 6-A-SIDE PREMIER LEAGUE

A couple of months ago I got a call asking if I could shoot some promo shots for a 6-A-Side football league, so.. here there are !!These photos were taken with a very simple set up, and a single remote SB-900.

If your interested how it all works ?
London’s Official 6-a-side Premier League is the capital’s first and only regional 6-a-side league system. One thing is for sure, it will be unlike any 5 or 6-a-side league you have played in before. Existing small-sided leagues in London are based in one particular area and you play against a handful of local teams every week. This is not simply another local league. 32 teams will represent their London Borough and compete against the best teams in the region in what will be the ultimate 6-a-side competition for London based teams. The league will be split into four regional divisions and you will enter either the 6PL North, 6PL South, 6PL East or 6PL West division. For more information on London’s 6-a-side Premier League, all media enquiries and details of sponsorship opportunities, contact us using the details below.
