Follow the Transition DH Race Team in our first installment of the Time Bandits video series.

In this series, we aim to capture life on the road for a professional downhill race team, including training, practicing, and racing, as well as the occasional factory tour and the drama of travelling to and from events.

Volume 1 of Time Bandits takes Transition factory racer Lars Sternberg and filmer Brad Walton to southern California, where Lars does his first race of the season at Fontana to see where he'll need to focus his training for the rest of the season, while team mates Bryn and Jill are training in Australia.

In Part 1, we head to Santa Cruz to shred some trails on Lars's new suspension setup courtesy of Fox Shox, then we head in for the Fox Factory tour and follow a fork through the assembly line.

Part 2 gives us a glimpse into the Crank Bros design studio in Laguna Beach, followed by some Laguna riding. Then it's off to the races as Lars gets in a practice day at Fontana, and finally we end it with his race run.

Stay tuned for Volume 2 where we'll cover the shenanigans of Sea Otter in Monterey!
