Specialized in the house at COC for next year.

Specialized frame.

Some non-winter news.... Camp of Champions announced that Specialized will provde the mountain bike camp with Specialized Demo 8's for all interested campers next summer. Being that Whislter has one of the best mountain bike terrain setups in the world and that Specialized is one of the most sought after MTB brands in the world, it seems like an appropriate fit.

Ken Achenbach explains...

"Since time began it seems like Specialized has always had one of the most insane bikes in the DH world. Ever since one of our snowboard coaches, Shaun Palmer rode them and did pretty well on them, we've wanted one. Sam Hill is fast, on Specialized he's even faster. One thing we always wanted at COC, and I'm sure our campers wanted as well, was to have Demo 8's available to ride in our demo fleet. For 2011 we will now have Specialized Demo 8's and Gord Calder our Ops Manager is losing his mind due to being over stoked, his screen saver changed the second we got the "we're in" from Specialized. We will be building the Demo 8 frames up with our usual COC World Cup caliber build with the help of our sponsors like Straitline, Spank, RaceFace, Maxxis, Chromag, Formula, X-Fusion, Elka and others...."
