Interbike 2008...


The Interbike Expo is the premier U.S. cycling trade show. Bike enthusiasts converge in the Sands Convention Center on the Las Vegas strip from September 22-26. Bike and bike related companies set up booths that showcase their upcoming lines of bikes and accessories. The first two days consist of a dirt demonstration located near Las Vegas in Bootleg Canyon. Liberty Mountain distributes for the German manufacturer Vaude, which has a bike specific line of panniers, hydration packs, and tool bags. Our booth is small compared to a lot of big name vendors, but just being at the show is a fun and amazing experience. It was a fairly uneventful show except for the "injury" I suffered setting our booth up. I scraped a good chunk of skin off of my right forearm trying to stop some booth panels from falling off a trolly. Good fun and I can't wait until next year.

About the forearm: that's when you can really get someone to notice what a 'tough biker' you are, if you bandage it really huge and have a kick butt bike story to tell them.... but then of course, knowing Aaron, tell them the truth in the end ;)
Sometimes getting hurt is the only way to really feel good about the overall experience, right? Keeps ya mortal, feeling alive!!
