NEWS, NEWS, NEWS...Next year we will be producing our much loved Vendetta and Foia frames in more affordable materials. We'll be trying to capture all the magic of titanium in Alloy and Steel.

We don't have access to secret Area 51 testing, men in white coats running around firing lasers at our frames. So we rely on 'old skool' testing, real riders, ragging bikes on singletrack then giving us their feedback before we go into production.

We're looking for test pilots to help us put the new steel and alloy frames through their paces, with the express instructions to 'go away and brutalise the frame until it screams, NO MORE!'.

Luckily for us we have a few pro raggers in house but we always need more. And one of our new crew of test pilots comes in the shape of Matthew Bird from Australia...

Matthew is just the kind of bike hooligan we need. At 14 years old, he has been racing downhill in Australia on a hardtail for the last 2 years. Already sponsored by 2624 bikes he finished 6th in his class last year.

Next year he'll be racing in the Australian National Championships both 4X and Downhill and hopefully he can bag a few podiums on his spanking new proto Vendetta.

We're very glad to have Matthew onboard as one of our test pilots and as soon as we have the first prototypes in our hands, an alloy Vendetta will be on it's way down under.

We'll publish Matthew's views, input and a few movies and pics over the coming months, in the meantime here's a few action shots of Matthew.

So here's the thing we need more test pilots...

..well a few more to test our new proto frames. But if you want a free frame to test you'll need to be prepared to give us a few things in return; detailed feedback on the ride over a 6 months period (we'll send you regular questionnaire's), provide us with some shots and maybe a movie and above all thrash the shit out of the frame, preferably at races.

If you think you have what it takes to be a Kingdom test pilot drop me an email chris@kingdombike.com with an explaination about yourself and why you should get a free frame.

But be quick we only have a few to give away.
