Gorge Trikke

New location, new blog

2010-12-03T10:52:00.001-08:00

Sorry for the delay here in posting. I have moved to Portland, and am blessed with Trikke friendly weather here all year round! Yes believe it or not, Portland gets way more Trikke riding friendly days than Hood River. Way less wind, less hills, and more terrain = one happy rider!

Here is the link for my new blog. Enjoy, and happy riding!

Spring is here!

I just received some important info. Costco has a limited number of Black T8 Trikkes for sale for the ridiculously low price of $278! My goal is to create riders, which is why I am posting this info.

The Riverfront Trail

2009-11-17T21:07:00.000-08:00

People have been asking where the Dalles Riverfront trail is. This is one of the prime winter Trikke riding spots.

Check it out here, and let me know if you want to meet at the Dalles Disovery Center for a session. They don't show it on here, but the upper section around the Discovery Center property is another huge loop of the trail system. Combine that with the giant parking lot, the winding drop down to the Columbia and the number of dry days in the winter, and you have an epic winter Trikke spot!

The riding in the Northwest has been great, maybe a little on the wet side, but for sure doable around Hood River. I was even riding in sub 40 degree weather in just my hoody yesterday! Today we went to the Dalles, and it was dry. Bonus! Had a great session on the trail there starting at the Discovery Center.

Here are some pictures that Sean took from the Academy in Los Angeles. Thanks Sean, great pics! Sean is an amazing rider, and was super fun to be with at the Academy, and I would say also has a great perspective. He is a principal at South Bay Trikke.

This is my favorite shot of the bunch. It is Irene from South Bay Trikke.

Thanksgiving Sale

2009-11-13T10:13:00.000-08:00

Trikke just announced a seasonal sale on all in-stock products. If you commit prior to November 24th, you get 10% off your order, plus free shipping for orders over $300!

I have been getting a lot of questions about how it all works. Basically if you are interested in purchasing a Trikke for you or as a gift, you can purchase directly on-line, or if you are local, you can purchase through me as a certified rep/trainer.

Price wise, it is the same, however, if you purchase from me, you get a ton of added value. The first thing is I will help you decide which model is best for you. Second, I will order it, have it shipped to my house. Next I assemble it, tune it and deliver it to you with or without the packaging, your preference. Also included is an orientation. Also, I offer lessons, riding tips and maintenance on it for as long as you own it.
Compare that to clicking buy on-line, and basically you get the product disassembled in a box. Trikke phone support is great, but wouldn't you prefer to have someone do it all for you and deliver it fully assembled with a smile, and get some great tips?

Email or call if you have any questions about how this works! GorgeTrikke@gmail.com

More stoked than ever on the Trikke products after returning from beautiful Redondo Beach in Los Angeles for the final 2009 Trikke Academy. I was lucky enough to get to meet Gildo Bileski who was an inspiration. For those of you who don't know that name, Gildo is the inventor of the Trikke. He is from Curitiba in the south of Brazil, which is a city I visited in 2006. We got to chatting one evening, and he mentioned that the reason he moved to the US is because of the sidewalks! That is how passionate Gildo is about the sport, and it really shows in his attitude, and style. He gave us a ton of riding tips, and just seeing this man ride is inspiring! He also gave us some history and background of his invention, and lead the hands on tech sessions which was super helpful.

Being in LA with 30 other Trikke riders was awesome. We learned a ton during the day including multiple seminars, hands on tech sessions, plus riding classes- and at night we had plenty of other people to ride with to complete the immersion!
