Guerre…Guitar…guirlande bossanova?

Actually this guy is named Guillaume bossu. Gui has been a part of the Banshee family since sometime around 02-03 and he still is. Until recently i only knew his name from the Banshee blog but a few days ago jay from Banshee introduced us during a meeting via skype, besides rant and small talk like – bonjour, fromage, bonsoir, ca va?, ca va bien, jambon, deux, trois –  i also made a comment about  the Banshee sticker on Gui´s  helmet visor (its always visible on his helmet cam vids like a constant promo banner), Gui then prompte replied “its not a sticker, its custom paint!!!” and straight away he send me this photo -

Gui has a very unique and interesting idea on how to employ the wonderfull Vuvuzella in modern factory work proceedures… but thats a different story, instead, check out his Legend Mk2 with the 180mm BOS N´dee fork.

Heres a video from Gui´s backyard…or maybe its his frontyard? Well, ok then, but its only a 20 minute drive from his frontdoor and thats good enough!

Sunday “snap”

Swedish rider Frederik Fässberg moving through a dusty turn on his Legend Mk2 .

While we are at it – check out Frederiks “anti rub” installation, it may not be revolutionary but its pretty neat.

Actually his bike is really neat…

Al…ready

Alexander send us a few pics from his first flights on the  Banshee Rampant, here is one of them, id say it looks as if the two are getting along just fine so far.

On a side note - We love when riders send us theese pictures as our first view often is from “behind the scene”.           Riding pictures display the results gained from what useally starts off with emails going back and forth.
From a naked frame in a cardboard box – to a sweet picture like the one above, its awesome to vitness and we truely love making it happen. Beneath is Al´s Rampant in the workshop a minute before it got wrapped up and shipped.
