Video: The Rise Of Straightline

Sheffield’s Rocketman returns to fight his latest foe… Straightline Man… or something.

Look, just watch it. It’s good and watch out for the awesome line, ‘..riding a wave of stoke.’. You just have to love it for that alone.

If you need any more explanation here’s what the Cotic has to say..  Yes, it’s a big promotion for Cotic and their Cotic Rocket bike.. You knew that though, right?

Newton’s Third Law:

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Yin and Yang.

Ebb and Flow.

Three years ago Rocketman saved the trails and the riders. With a job well done, he hung up his cape and retired to take a job as a mild mannered trail advocate, for Ride Sheffield. 

All was well, but just as the power of the orange Rocket brought calm, has the green Rocket now brought chaos?

The yang, the ebb, the reaction….

Obsessed with getting to the end of the trail first, no flow or soul in the ride, the power of the Rocket has fallen into the wrong hands.

Blowing out berms and cutting off corners. It knows only speed. It knows only straight.

A dark power rises, but as desperate times approach, will our hero return?
