Funniest thing in Taiwan !!!

Hahahaha... Taiwan is amazing and funny in so many ways , but this is one of those little things that makes me laugh every single time I see it.
Pedestrian traffic lights are animated in Taiwan, so when the green light is on a little guy starts walking and counts the time. When times is almost out little green guy starts running like crazy , hehe , to let you know that you should hurry up before you get ran over by a herd of scooters.

I'm really proud to present you a new addition to Zion family , Masatoshi Karino aka MarKun . This young rider is one of most outstanding talents of new Japanese generation of flatlanders, so be sure you remember this name.
He recently assembled his new Zion LowKee and started shreeding right away. Here is a photo gallery of his new bike and his first session in Zion family.

Winter in Woodward

Few days ago Jura came back from Woodward Camp, so I picked him up on the airport just before I left for Taiwan. He spent 3 weeks in USA enjoying NY City and training hard in Woodward. He spent 2 weeks there getting ready for new season and working on few new moves. Here are few photos of his training session.


Flatland Unlimited 6 video

Daniel Caruso made these sweeeeeet video of Flatland Unlimited 6 . Once again, congrats to Aki for taking 4th place, you can see him shredding in this video.

Whats up ?

Hi everyone,

this last days I've been really buried with work cause new 2010 complete bikes are arriving to Zion warehouse and at the same time I'm flying to Taiwan. So I didn't really find time for updating Zion website.

So, this Sunday I'm going to Taiwan to attend Taipei Cycle Show and do some work on few new Zion projects. Can't wait...
When I get back we'll have a photo shooting of new Zion 2010 completes, so you will finally be able to see them (both flatland and street bikes).

Akihiko and few of his friends took a trip to Canada last weekend to compete on FU6 and Aki got 4th place. Great job man...
He just arrived home and so you can expect some photos from his trip these days.

Jura is still in Woodward , training really hard and enjoying every moment. He is also filming a web video of his trip so you can expect that some time this month.

And last news are not that good, hehe.....Croatia is buried in snow , AGAIN !!! so we'll have to wait few more weeks before riding season starts.

Spy photos - new frame prototypes !!!

Some more spy photos for you guys , hehe !!!

These are prototypes of a new version of Zion Silence and Ace frames that we worked on for a long time. I wanted to make highest quality frames so we used all the best technology that is currently available.

Here are some specs :

- triple butted and oval butted TT and DT
- double butted and tapered SS and CS
- fully heat-treated after welding
- offset CNC'd HT and BB shell
- taper lock patent design on dropouts
- integrated seatclamp

Weight of these prototype frame is a joke, only 1.69 kg (3.7 lbs) . We made them lighter for testing phase so if they can stand testing abuse with these lowered weight, production model is going to be indestructible.

We made 3 versions of these prototypes, for Jura, Filip and Aco.

Filip spring session

Finally winter ended here in Croatia and we had few beautiful sunny days this weekend. So Filip wasted no time and made some fresh riding photos.
