A new feature for 2011 is the “Web video of the month” section – As the title suggests, it’s a section for recent videos, which we believe deserve crediting with the ‘illustrious’ title! And of course, all videos will be archived, in our own ‘hall of fame’! For January we have a great video, featuring Chris Mahoney testing a highly anticipated 22″ prototype bike, by Faction Bike Co. The edit was released late december, and is definetly worth a watch! If you liked that video, don’t forget to check the faction site for more videos: www.factionbikeco.com!
