On Tuesday Aug 25th, Cove Bikes hosted a small bike demo at the Family Man Skills Area. Anyone and everyone was invited that could make it to Family Man during the hours of 1pm to 6pm. Texts went out, people responded. Mike Estes' NW Cove Rep took riders to 8-Track for a good long ride back down to the Cove Bike Tent on the 2009 demo fleet that included the famous Cove Shocker, The STD, The Hustler and The Sanchez. You can jump to Pinkbike's Photo Album to see all the images from this event here.
The Northwest School of Freeride was there to scope the new Cove Hooker 4 inch Slopestyle Bike and campers were out for laps on 'Middle School' and 'Dropout' coming back with smiles. Several people came out for a test ride and I thank each and everyone who did attend. Shout out to Dirty Fingers and Discover Bikes for sending up riders..........
