Bricin Lyons Promotes Helmet Safety We also had a chance to interview Paskapoo 2009 Champ Zen Shikaze Throughout the past 5 years Colabo has been keeping a close eye on helmet safety. Starting 4 years back by leading the pack by importing sleek helmets from Europe in 2008, Blake Startup partnered up with Daniel Pape to form Lid Technologies to improve the safety of "Speed Helmets". The Speed Helmets that were currently being used by speed fanatics were far from safe - scary in fact. And in early 2009 Colabo lead by example by introducing Modifications of Downhill Mountain Biking Helmets in order to get our beloved riders away from using Paragliding helmets. Not all of our projects were perfect. And not all of the past projects will be implemented in 2010 simply for the reason that they were not ideal. All project, however, were done in order to innovate one step at time and constantly strive to protect our most important asset, our brain. Yes, our Lid Tech project helped riders get into safer "speed" helmets but still there were improvements that needed to take place. Keep checking back here and at Colabo.ca as news on helmet safety is released. Thanks for all of you that no longer wear Paragliding helmets. It's for your own good. Please Note : If the interior foam has been compromised when you've Drilled into a Downhill Mountain Biking Helmets, please refrain from riding in that helmet.

Hosted by Sid Williams Theatre Society DON'T FORGET TO CLICK THE 1080pThis is the biggest compliment we could have ever received!
Well, well, well, if this isn't proof that 2010 is the year of the Downhill Skateboarder than what is. Riders are going Pro, OFFICIALLY! Riders are getting Pro Model Boards! And now this! The icing on the cake is so sweet this time around we at Colabo can barely contain ourselves. With so many awesome things on the horizon for filmmakers like us and now our very own BC riders featured in this trailer, it is without a doubt in our minds that DH Skaters are going to be credited this year more than any other in Downhill Skateboarding History. Our vision years ago was to show the world what Canadian Athletes in the skateboard world were capable of. We shot things people said were impossible , and we had naysayers world wide trying to hold us down.......just because we didn't follow the mainstream. It's no wonder that people are in awe when DH Skaters are in their neighborhood. Simply put, their skills are like nothing else out there. Sid Williams Theatre Society presents Banff Mountain Film Festival Radical Reels Sunday, March 7th at 7:00 pm Catch the steepest and deepest in high-adrenaline outdoor sport films. Hurtle down steep untouched powder, feel the cold spray of stomach-dropping kayak first descents, fly high with the world’s wildest BASE jumpers, and much more in extreme mountain sports. Growing out of the famous Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour, Radical Reels screens the best in action sports filmmaking, audience-tested and programmed for maximum excitement. Venue: Sid Williams Theatre Length: approx 3 hours Type: Reserved Seating Tickets: Regular $20, Members $15, Child (14years & under) $10, EyeGo $5
As we proudly see our riders grow into amazing professional athletes, Colabo wants to send out sincere gratitude to the riders that believed in the growth SINCE DAY ONE. The list would go on and on so please excuse us for not listing them here - they are listed in the credits of the Fellowship of the Bearing. You know who are you are and you know we'll support you as this big ol world suddenly gets a whole lot smaller. The above trailer will be shown globally with the Banff Mountain Film Festival Radical Reels Tour. If they don't know about us now, they will. Having Colabo Innovations footage paired up with other amazing sports is a historical moment - let's have moment of silence...... |

USA Props Canada as the One of the Best Nations BE PROUD CANADA, WE'RE IT! Canadians have a reason to be proud. I think down deep a lot of us are already very proud of where we live but our humility holds up back from shouting it out. After all, Andrew Mercado of No Future Skateboarding is the first to chant USA! USA! - at even Canadian races and somehow we end up loving him for it. We get along so good with our racer friends south of the border that for a lot of us skaters, it's why we travel across the world to meet up for a session. We love our American friends and cannot wait to see you again in 2010. WHAT?! we ain't afraid to say it!
Last night we lay to rest knowing that every few days we get another gold medal and our athletes are making us proud even if they do not 'own the podium'. For many of us, we just feel proud to be hosting the largest party in the world! Any medal is a good medal to us. Jon Montgomery, Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue, Alexandre Bilodeau, Ashleigh McIvor and Maelle Ricker's Gold Medals this week is icing on the cake for a lot of us. This video says it all and thus we NEEDED to put it up. Our country is one of the nicest and bravest in the world. Take Joannie Rochette for example. That's a whole other story. Enjoy this clip, it's nice to propped by NBC.
By the way, the first 10 seconds of this piece (Surrey/Blaine border), is literally minutes from - 23% Oxford Street in White Rock, BC (Colabo Innovations Studio) . Come Skate my American Friends!
