Banshee legend mk1

Here it is, finally. After a loooong wait it's finally here. Couldn't believe my eyes when I took it out of its box. I just sat there and gazed upon it. And the performance of it....... My god nothing even comes close to it when you pedal. And it's so playfull. Still have to get used to it, but so far it's been awesome. Have nothing negative so far to say about it. I feel like a superstar when im out riding it. Cuz it looks so good.


I'm getting a 8" rotor at the back, i just didnt have the 8" adapter right now:(

The building prosess

Here is a photo of one of the wheels with one of my new rotors. Yes it looks like a 24" but its actually a 26" wheel with a 9" hope rotor. First word that came out of my mouth when i mounted the disc to se how it looks was "eehh". Cant wait to test it. More parts an frame buildup will come shortly.


Here are some photos of the shock. Looks super nice.


A closeup.


The color came out amazing.

Looking forward to seeing here bashing around on it this summer:)

The parts are starting to come in.

Im just missing some few parts on the drivetrain, and i just put together one of the wheels. The spokes are not tightened on the pictures, just put on. But must say it looks amazing. Really looking forward to putting the bike together. Have a feeling its going to be my best looking rig ever. So stay tuned for some more upcoming photos of the parts and buildup.

The new bike. Banshee legend mk1.

After a long wait, it is just around the corner. Well allmost. And after allot of back and forth we (Me and Jay at Banshee) came to which color theme im getting. Cuz sadly the frame with green front and polished back with the green links is not happening. But instead its going to be something one of:) What it will be. Hmm you would just have to wait hehe. But one thing is clear, that im pretty excited. And its going to be awesome. But dont ekspect allot of fancypants paint work. The right word would be "clean"

Old videoes from 2006 on my banshee scream.

Here are some old videos and pictures of me in Åre bikepark at the åre mountain mayhem festival 2006.

They are short ones and low rez. But they show how well i used the scream.
Good old times on the undistructible scream.







Really like seeing these old vids. Brings back memories from the scream.

And here is a pic of me on the Scream.

Playing around.

Riding trip at one of my favorite places.

This was some pics i took on a trip we had a little while ago. After the snow melted. With me (Jarle Konings) Stian D, Jarle T, Espen J, And Kisse.

This was my Banshee wildcard. Sadly it had to go to finance something else. But im thinking allready of another:) All in good time. Maybe ano black frame with purple rims and purple kranks. With the rest in black. Hmm tempting.

Im getting the same wheelsett on the Legend, but the newest ones with the laser etched logo's and silver hubs with silver spokes to match the frame.

The mean green machine.

Yessss. The summer is sneaking in. And the trees are getting their leaves and lovely colors back. The grass is groing. And the trails are drying upp. Even though ive been riding all winter, but still, the summer time is awesome. No more freezing cold, ahh.
