Brenter Trade In at SkiBikeFun.com

At least till the end of the season and possibly beyond, we will offer a 25% trade in value/discount of any "Complete" Brenter adult bike with skis towards a new bike purchase here at SkiBikeFun.com. If you have the Brenter footskis also, we will offer an additional 2% for a grand total of 27% trade in/discount towards a new bike purchase at SkiBikeFun.com!!

Example- New Sledgehammer Full Suspension Purchase, $695 USD. Send us a complete Adult Brenter Bike, any model and receive 25% ($173.75 USD off) if you had the foot skis, it would be a total of $187.65 USD off the list price on the bike above. Do this same trade in on a New Alpine Brawler Worx and save a whooping $745.20 USD (27% with foot skis)!!!

The Brenter does not need to be serviceable, just have “All” the parts. If the bike is 95-100% complete we should be good.

This is good on any New SkiBike Purchase at SkiBikeFun.com, at any price!! Get a new Sledgehammer or a new Brawler…. Maybe a great Stalmach!!!! How about a new Venom or a Metalworx!!! Your Choice.

Go dig around and find some of those Brenters laying around and give us a call!!! If we don’t accept your trade in, we might be interested in buying your parts!!! Please drop us a note or a call.

We will be posting this info on our site very soon. Please stop by.

Day 8 On The Snow 09/10

I spent day 8 OTS at Hoodoo Ski area outside of Sisters OR with by good buddy Duane aka "Dewey Dude". Had to travel to Portland for business on president's day and decided to squeeze in a day of play. Hoodoo has had some very warm temps this season and while they are covered very well is really soft off trail and slushy as heck at times. With that said, it beats having rocks poking through on thin runs like we get often in NM. Dewey supplied me with one of his bikes for the day (Thx again Brother) and what a killer day it was. We actually had a few runs off the backside on the Hodag chair as it was open, well covered and the wind was not howling up the hill. (With names like Hodag, the folks would get along well here in NM with some of the things we call stuff) The snow was deep thick and heavy. Tough even for a veteran like myself but very doable. I even followed Dewey down leap of faith once. Not what I'm use to but I'll take a day of sliding on the hill any day. We hot lapped the mountain a bit, had a Hoodoo Voodoo beer will chatting Mathew and laughed at Scott for having to work all day!! We saw several other bikes on the hill...personal bikes at that. One of them was a guy I connected up with a few years ago named Cody from Eugene OR.

Had a killer day, counting the days till I can meet up with Dewey, Scott and Matthew to do it again. Thanks again to the incredible hospitality of the Pacific Northwest, Dewey, Matthew, Scott and Hoodoo!!! If I could get my head around all the rain in that part of the world, I'd be living there!! Thanks to all for another killer day on the mountain!! Don't forget about the skibike festival the first weekend of April 3-4 2010.

Day 7 OTS (On the Snow)-SkiBike Demos-Sipapu Ski Area, New Mexico

I spent day 7 OTS doing demos at Sipapu Ski Area here in New Mexico with Melanie and Eugene aka "Krusty". Had the sun on my face for several hours, the liner unzipped from my jacket, good snow under my boards and comped lift tickets. Life does not get much better for me!! As usual, the folks at Sipapu welcomed us with open arms. I brag about the folks at Sipapu all the time. Make sure you go there sometime to see what I'm talking about. Very nice..very cool old school ski area. 1/2 the price of anyone!! Enough terrain to challenge anyone. We were able to get 27 folks signed up and through lessons on that day. All of them but 2 had blast, the other 2 just did not have the near as much fun as the others and decided it's just not their thing. No injuries and lots of smiling teeth behind handlebars. I had one student that had been riding several bikes through the morning. He was doing well and after the first 10 ft down the first run, decided he did not need his feet down any longer and took to it like a fish to water!! He asked me if I was a used car salesman, because he at one point I offered him my new Brawler I got for myself this season and he quickly realized not all my bikes are created equal!! His words not mine...and I quote.."This bike handles very different from the other bikes. This thing is like an extension of you on the runs!!" End quote. Hooked another rider just the way I was hooked from my first run. I could imagine him trying to figure out how he was going to sell the idea he needed a $2900 SkiBike after spending the day with us and our equipment. We took 20 bikes to the demo and at several times, we were lucky to have 2 bikes left at the base with lots of folks hot-lapping the hill on our bikes. We had one fellow that came up and rented footskis and a skibike from Sipapu. I don't think he ever actually rode it on the hill. He rode one of our Sledgehammers all day wrong with those rented footskis. We also had about 6 repeat lessons from folks that had demoed with us at other events. Best part, not a yellow-lawn tubing built, yellow jacket wearing, POS (piece of S#!^) or the mighty She-Ski-Bob and company on the on the hill all day! After smelling those wonderful burgers cooking all day long...We finished up or day with a big Sipapu Burgar with bacon and green chile, fries and a coke before hitting the road. All of us still chattering about the great day we had just experienced. I'm headed to Portland next weekend for some work. Going to ride Hoodoo with my buddy Dewy on Saturday!!! Watch for my post.

Best Regards,

Day 6 OTS (On The Snow)

I spent day #6 on the snow with my buddy Eugene (AKA Krusty) at Angel Fire Ski area Saturday 1/30/10. We had just received a little new snow the previous week. Typical AF man inches as when we arrived, the only 10" of snow anywhere was piled up in the trees. With that said, snow was nice and it even warmed up on the hill for the day. Eugene and I hot-lapped the mountain hitting our favorites like 1-25, The tree runs and the world cup course for mountain bikes. I got up enough wad and rode several boxes in the terrain park. Tried to get Eugene up but no go. He did hit the big jump at the end of the WC course only to eat it off the top with a spiral into the deep stuff. Great day, played hard and decided the snow was not nice enough for 2 days of it. Snow was good, had the sun on my face most of the day, ridding with good friends...nothing better.
