HX1 Racing Update from Kenneth Hall

Hi Alan and the Chumba Racing Team,
     I've been doing great and racing a lot since the start of my 2010 season. The Chumba HX1 has been amazing while my racing has followed. I am turning in times that I wouldn't of thought were possible in my wildest dreams. But I have dreamed of winning these major races that I have now made happen in the past couple months, especially recently. I love it when people ask my what I ride, and I tell them Chumba Racing. I have locked up golds in two racing series so far and am working on another series right now, this past weekend I won the biggest title in racing of my life so far which was winning the 2010 Raccoon Rally Cross Country and Down Hill Races with winning both my age group and setting a record time which the closest rider in my entire sport class came almost 7 minutes behind me. I look forward to crank-in threw in a bunch of major events including the 6 Hours of Power, the Suicide 6, the Mountain Bike UCI world Cup being held in Windham, NY this year, and the Laurel Classic and many others! 
      Thank You,
            Kenneth

Hot & Sexy Kelly Brook Photo Shoot

Brook's modelling career began at 16 after winning a beauty competition for which her mother entered her. Following this success she worked on a range of advertising campaigns, including for Foster's Lager, Renault Megane, Walkers crisps, Piz Buin and Bravissimo, a company that specialises in bras and lingerie for large-breasted women. Her figure eventually caught the eye of the editorial team of the Daily Star tabloid, which began featuring her as a Page Three girl.

Brook's picture soon began appearing in other lad mags such as GQ, Loaded and FHM. In April of the same year, a poll over 5,000 women for Grazia magazine considered her to have the best British female body. She also topped the 'FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World' list in 2005, which was said to have polled 15 million people. She later ranked 5th in FHM's '100 Sexiest Women in the World 2006', 17th in 2007 and 34th in 2008.

Brook has also done a large amount of commercial swimwear, sportswear and hosiery modeling. Her work for Triumph bras caused quite a stir because of specially commissioned 50-foot (15 m) high billboard of Brook's bust, said to be the largest billboard in the world.

In 2005, Brook posed for a ten-page, nude black-and-white photo spread for the photographer David Bailey, which appeared in the British design magazine Arena, in the November 2005 issue.

The CHUMBA VF2 takes on the Maxiavalanche Vallnord Europe Cup

Maxiavalanche Europe Cup in Vallnord
More than 400 MTB downhill riders made the descent on rugged and harsh descents from PicCubil Peak, at 2,350 metres, to the village of Massana in Andorra. 

Representing for CHUMBA Racing was Gavarres Bikes, fully decked out in CHUMBA gear, riding the all-mountain VF2 outfitted with Fox 36 forks and rear shocks.  

Gavarres Bikes successfully navigated the course, with enough suspension on the VF2 to endure the punishing downhills but using the pedaling efficiency and precise handling of the VF2 chassis to overcome all obstacles.

Good job guys! More information on the Avalanche Cup here: http://www.avalanchecup.com/
