StriderLife: Brings STRIDER Riders Together!

Monday, January 16th, 2012

Hinata got a STRIDER for Christmas! His Mom was super excited and posted to www.StriderLife.com, but she was a bit anxious because she had never seen other STRIDER riders around their neighborhood.

After having a dialogue in the introduction forum for a few days another STRIDER parent suggested that she look into some of the Japanese STRIDER clubs that had been posting videos and messages in other areas of the website.

Yesterday, this video was posted with a brief cameo of Hinata at the very end. He is loving his STRIDER as much as his Mom and has found some Stridering partners to boot. If you haven’t checked out StriderLife yet, drop in and introduce yourself…maybe you’ll find somebody in your area to ride with!

Share your Strider success stories, photos, video and interact with other Strider enthusiasts at our newest centralized social media outlet www.StriderLife.com! Join the Strider conversation on our Facebook wall!

Yamaha STRIDER GP!

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

There is something about a STRIDER that inspires both children and adults to want to ride them. It’s fun to watch a child riding because you can literally see them learning to balance and explore the world around them on two wheels. When you see an adult on a STRIDER it’s similar to when you see 5 clowns get out of a tiny car!

We started the adults on a STRIDER video phenomenon with the very serious “Rippin’ the M” which was shot on a local Striderville mountain biking trail. The STRIDER craze in Japan has brought it to a whole new level. We should have known that with our recent addition of a Yamaha branded STRIDER we’d have a whole new group of adult STRIDER riders showing up on YouTube!

Sit Back, Relax and enjoy; “Jace Speed”, “Rad Styles”, and “Axel NOS” from Yamaha of Camp Hill tear it up.

Happy STRIDERday to you! Check out this fun video of Spencer having a great time with his biking partner, aka Fido.

Ilan’s Winning Run

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Here is a creative video for Friday. If you can’t find a competition near you or the racing season is over…make up your own!

The double butt lift, the shout out and the 360 bench bump are but a few of Ilan’s signature moves. It is always fun for us to watch a STRIDER Rider progress. We’ll check back in with Ilan next summer to see what cool new tricks he has mastered and check his current ranking in the Toddler Games!

Tom Danielson Getting His Son Ready For The Tour de France!

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of the Tour de France before. It’s a quaint little race that meanders through the French countryside, over a couple mountain passes and ends on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, a little known side street in Paris.

Tom Danielson is a professional road racing cyclist with a pretty amazing career so far. In 2011 he finished 9th overall in the Tour de France and 3rd overall in the Tour of California. The video below is proof that 2012 is going to be another amazing year for him and his family. His son is riding a new red STRIDER!

We’ll have to keep an eye on him and see if he follows in his Dad’s ~~footsteps~~ Tire prints.

New Years Resolutions

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

The Earth has completed yet another trip around the sun…that means time to make at least one resolution. I’m taking inspiration from this cool footage from the Library of Congress Video Archive where the employees of Parke Davis can be seen leaving their jobs in 1899 by walking or riding a bike.

Before you say anything we know that Automobiles were invented less than 15 years before this footage was shot, that they were unattainable luxuries for the average factory worker, that they have improved the lives and mobility of most of the world since and lets face it…they can be pretty fun to drive!

So, without looking down on anybody for driving a vehicle, We resolve to ride our bikes more frequently (starting with short trips) and to ride more with our kids! Did any of you make bike related resolutions for 2012? Leave a Comment

Have Fun, Ride Safe and Ride More in 2012…Happy New Year!

Like Father, Like Son: Follow The Leader

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

Here is a great video of Paxton on his KTM STRIDER following his Dad over objects in the back yard. This is a fun way to encourage your kids to try obstacles on their STRIDER. Going up and over patio stones, 2 x 4′s and off of small curbing will help your STRIDER rider improve there riding and balance.

This also has the added benefit of improving a parent’s balance while showing their kids that being out of doors on two wheels is fun! Whether you’re on your trials motorcycle, mountain bike or beach cruiser get out for a ride soon.
