Bike packing video
29.01.2010
I know many of you are interested in how bikes are made in Taiwan, so here is a little video I filmed last year. This is the final stage of production of complete bikes. Assembly was finished before I arrived to factory, so I didn't get a chance to film it. But here you can see final packing and loading to container.
我会说一点汉语
28.01.2010
Hehe, from the first time I went to Taiwan I fell in love in Chinese language and told myself I'll learn it one day. Well I kept the promise.
Few months ago I signed into a Chinese language class and been really enjoying learning to speak and write Chinese. This week I passed my final exam and got a diploma for a beginner level of Chinese.
Knowing any foreign language is really valuable knowledge, but knowing Chinese in my case also has a great bonus. Since all Zion products are made in Taiwan and I go there every year to arrange and monitor productions , speaking Chinese is going to make a huge difference.
My next trip to Taiwan is in March and I can't wait to test my skills there , hehe.

Sam Foakes presents Zion Luna frame to a lucky winner at Bolton YMCA
25.01.2010
At Level Vibes, Chris Massey brought a ton of kids from his youth project in Bolton to compete, what many didn't realise was that, these bikes were funded for the project and don't actually belong to the kids,Sam wanted to give away the frame to a young kid just getting into flatland, hoping to encourage him to ride harder.
Sam recently went to the Bolton YMCA project to personally give the Zion frame to a very stoked Kieran!!
This is a great bit of youth work on Chris and Sam's part, I hope these kids stick at it, much respect to all involved!

Random photos : Big White Elephant
23.01.2010
Hehe, this is one of those insane roadtrip moments that just can't be explained.
We were driving for 10 hours straight from Croatia to Trutnov in Czech Republik for a contest.....the trip took FOREVER and it was hot as hell in the van...and then in the middle of nowhere all of the sudden there is a "real size" white metal elephant right next to the road...standing there in the field, for no reason...I just hit the brakes really hard and we were all just started laughing like crazy...
This is still probably my favorite roadtirp photo, hehehe...

Filip Strbad - indoor winter chill edit
21.01.2010
Filip and his friend Nikola put some effort in cleaning an abandoned building in Zagreb, patched up the holes in the ceiling and made a little indoor spot to ride. In this harsh winter time, even a place like this is so much fun, hehe.

Spy photos - Filip Strbad signature handlebar
19.01.2010
I can honestly say that for this whole last year Filip has been riding more then anyone else in Zion team, made huge progress and also put a lot of effort in promoting Zion. So to show my respect to him we started his signature handlebar project.
We made this babies just the way Filip likes them...tall, wide and super strong...
Here are few photos of first prototypes that just came out of factory. We'll be testing them for some time and I expect them to be in shops after summer...

Luna custom bike
17.01.2010
Here are few photos of a custom Luna complete bike that I built for a friend of mine. I just love the way it turned out , so I wanted to share it with you guys. The idea was to make the whole bike black&white only.
I used Zion Luna frame and fork, Worldwide stem, PMS sprocket , headset and bb and some other sweet parts like Colony handlebars, WTP cranks...
I hope you like it ...

New Zion Site !!!
13.01.2010
Hi everyone !!!
I'm really glad to say that new Zion web site is finally online. It has been a project that I wanted to do for ages, but just couldn't find enough free time. But since winter hit us pretty hard and I can't ride at all I decided to finally finish this project.
And here it is , hehe, hope you like it.
Only part of this new site that is still not finished are new team interviews. Those will be published soon and in the meantime you can see riders photo galleries instead.
Another new thing is the compilation of your Zion bikes, so if you want to have a photo of your Zion bike published on Zion website just send it to our email.

Sonic's new bike
07.01.2010
Happy Birthday !!!
05.01.2010
Today is Zion Bike Co.'s 5th birthday !!!
Exactly 5 years ago a first finished prototype Zion bike arrived to Croatia, a first generation Luna. Even though the whole project started 6 months before this, I choose this date as a symbolic birthday of Zion Bike Co.
You can't even imagine all the things that happened since that day and I can honestly say I enjoyed every single one of it. What started as a small project of a 20 year old rider is now a legit company that sells bikes and parts worldwide, has an amazing team and enjoys a well deserved reputation of one of the best upoming companies in flatland world.
I would like to say a huge "thank you" to everyone that ever contributed to this in any possible way.
Don't think that I'm just partying and trashing myself these days, cause there are so many new projects going on in Zion at the moment that I barely sleep. First thing I would like to announce is the new Zion website that will be online sometime next week. This is a was a priority cause as you can see this current site is really old and there are so many informations missing, specially in products sestion... completely my fault, hehe.
Next, I would like to announce that new Zion 2010 complete bikes are soon to be shipped from Taiwan so they will be available in shops in February. Also, there are many prototypes of new products that are in production at the moment, like Luna and LowKee complete bikes, new street frames, forks and bars , a final version of Sam's signature Focus frame, a new longer version of Keelan's LowKee frame, a redesigned Worldwide stem and few more projects that I would like to keep a secret for now.
To end these news here is a photo of that first Luna prototype that arrived to Croatia on January 5th, 2005. Whole Zion Bike Co. evolved from this one bike, hehe...
