Adam Banton just sent us some new pics of his bike. The theme is freestyle and the white tanwall rims are in full effect. If the fist of post rule looks like it’s being violated, that’s because Morgan Wade dropped his seat for him so could learn decades and opposite whips. Lowering it has helped a lot and it doesn’t look like it’ll be coming up again any time soon; “You don’t mess with someone who looped Mt. Baldy.”

Oh and if you want to learn how to Luc-E grind, watch Adam’s how-to video.

Congrats to Adam Banton and Brian Miller for getting 4th place at this year’s Odd Couple’s contest! Their edit’s above and it’s cut to a fun song and full of creative lines. If you were to imagine what ramp heaven would be like, it’s a safe bet to say it’d look a lot like Ray’s MTB.

The last guessing game was a bit of a curve ball with most people guessing Aaron Ross or Terry Adams. If you were to look into a crystal orb (in this case, our Twitter account would be an adequate substitute), you’ll discover they actually belong to Mr. Adam Banton. We sent him a really bright parts kit and he’s done well with them. The black makes the colors pop like crazy and his new bike is looking dope. Check it out above (photos by Jeff Hall).

If you’re interested in stalking Adam, follow him on the Twitter and le Flickr.
The read more teleporter will take you to Adam’s 2003 Odyssey video part.
His Electronical part is on the way.

Here are some random team updates, including a couple old video parts. From left to right (full photos and videos after the jump):

• Jim Cielencki’s physical therapy is going much better than expected! He’s also been on a Twittering like crazy.
• Taj Mihelich’s section in Until Monkeys Fly. He has also posted a bikeography (?) on his blog. He runs through a list of a bunch of bikes he’s had from past to present. You can check that out HERE.
• Adam Banton has some sick, creative lines in the new Inside/Out video.
• Chase Gouin’s video part in Happy Days has made its way online in Krt Schmidt’s blog. In case you missed it, his signature tire (Frequency G) will now be available in Tanwall!
