Bikecheck: Jeremy Menduni's Partymaster
New Year means New Bike for Jeremy Menduni! He somehow managed to get an even cleaner Partymaster than his previous one and he now runs a Prototype Rigid Fork from Altruiste! Wait no longer and see what he has to say about his new build, then check out a full bikecheck below!
"My bike last year was the cleanest build I'd had to date which meant that it would be really hard to top it this year but somehow I think I did it! One of the hardest things was finding the right colour. After switching between a few different samples, I finally decided on this colour and I'm blown away how well it turned out. I'm running a BMX spaced Partymaster combined with my new signature Altruiste Six One Three fork and I decided to run a sprocket guard to hopefully learn some new grinds and not have to worry about my drivetrain too much. My new Ruff Bike Co Can Rims with Resist Nomad tires makes my bike look even more street and thats all that matters right?! haha! All kidding aside, after a solid weekend of riding my new bike at Joyride 150, I'm beyond stoked on how dialled this thing turned out and it's gotten me so excited for the outdoor sessions and good times with the homies. Huge thanks to The Rise, Altruiste Bikes, Resist, Ruff Bike Co and all the guys at Joe Mamma Cycles in Ottawa for helping me put this thing together. Truly feeling blessed!"

"This bike is very special to me. After my crash last march I never thought I'd be able to ride again... For me this bike resembles all the hard work I've put in. All the struggle, doubt and fear I've overcome to get to this point in my life.
I'm so thankful to have my main outlet back again and I couldn't be happier with my ride. It's just the way I want it but somehow better... It's the bike I wish I had my whole life! " -Matt Macduff

Bikecheck: Nick Clarke's Partymaster
Since we introduced Nick Clarke with his Welcome to The Rise video last week, let's have a look at what kind of setup he uses on his Partymaster. After riding brakeless for a long time, Nick now uses brakes, and a Gyro on a custom painted white Partymaster. Nick's setup is super dialed and judging by his welcome video and his recent 2nd place at The Brosefarm Jam, looks like he managed to build the perfect Dirt Jumping Bike. Keep on reading to see what Nick has to say about his whip, and check out the full bikecheck below!
"When I first heard about The Rise and the Partymaster I was so stoked! The boys have always had a big reputation in the Park\Street\Dirt field, and I knew that this was going to turn some heads! I have been a friend of the crew for years, but after going through so much together in South Africa for the super loop project, it felt like more of a family and I'm pumped to grow with them! I hopped on Matt's Partymaster, gave it a personal paint job and the rest is History! This is the bike for me! Between the name, the feel of the bike, and the beautiful welding and fab work by Gabo, this frame is a winner and I'm super pumped for what the future holds! From the first ride, you could feel that this bike is made by riders for riders! The long top tube and short chainstays are a perfect combination for barspins and combo tricks, not to mention spins! From the streets to the Dirt Jumps, the Partymaster keeps you in full control and leaves you feeling no limitations to the tricks you've been dreaming up! The ladies love the partymaster as well! At least the South African ladies!"

Bikecheck: Ben Desjardins' Partymaster
The homie Ben Desjardins recently built himself a The Rise Partymaster, and it looks like it didn`t take him too long to get used to it! After riding his new bike for a few weeks, he rode the Brose Farm Jam like a boss and ended up taking the win! Here's a few words from Ben about his new bike:
"It took no time at all to get used to this frame. I hopped on and it felt like I had been riding it for years. The boys at The Rise and Altruiste really outdid themselves with the Partymaster frame! Perfect geometry from the streets to park to dirt. This frame is legit! Thanks The Rise!"
Wonder what kind of setup he rode to make it on the first step of the podium? Keep on reading for a full bikecheck along with some pictures:

Bikecheck: Aidan Horn's Partymaster
While recovering from a broken scaphoid for the last 5 months, Aidan took his time and built himself one of the nicest Partymasters we've seen so far. He's been back on the bike for a few weeks now and even thought he has to take it easy at first, the dude already kills it. His new ride is so damn clean and believe it or not, it weights in at only 20.8 lbs! Here's a few words from Aidan about his new setup, and in case you're wondering how it's possible to build such a light bike without compromising on strenght and reliability, keep reading below for a full specs list along with pictures.
"The Partymaster Frame is beyond expectation, I hopped on and didn't feel like I needed to get used to it, I felt comfortable and I was stoked about that. Gabbo (Altruiste bikes) did a great job because it feels so stiff, so strong, geo is as close as I could call perfect. The 44mm headtube allows me to run tapered forks making the bike feel super strong up front. The Mid BB also makes my life easier, hopefully I won't need to replace BB's every 2 months now. Stoked to have my name stamped into the dropouts too, and also a nice touch was that it also has the date that my Dad passed away stamped into it so the frame has a special value to me!
I'm currently running tubeless, it makes sense since Industry Nine wheels come with a valve and sealant rim tape, saves a shit load of weight too. My wheels have custom rim stickers and hub lasering with my name and The Rise logo on the hubshell, couldn't be happier with them. I put griptape on my cranks as always, my post is cut as short as possible and i've decided to try out a Vocal DRS device to help keep my cranks in place.
I just want to thank the whole The Rise crew for being badass and having my back no matter what, stoked for the next chapter! Huge thanks to Joe Haley and the rest of the Industry Nine crew for allowing me to ride the best wheels planet earth has ever seen, couldn't be happier to have their support. Thank you to Dmitry from Pride Street for hooking me up with lots of solid parts to finish my bike off; glad to be working with them this season. Final shoutout to SD for the seatpost I stole from him in 2011, and Murlcat for being a fucking boss mechanic."

Bikecheck: Samuel Croteau's Partymaster
Croots recently built himself a new The Rise Partymaster and it's looking pretty damn good! Around 2 years ago, he had a bad crash riding trails and ended up fracturing his leg in numerous places which kept him off the bike for a year. As he started riding again afterwards, he played it safe and threw some brakes on the whip He later decided to keep them to mess around with fufanus and other tech tricks. If we look back at our latest Unexpected Thursday episodes, there's no doubt that Croots is back at it and on top of his game! Check out some pictures of his new build below along with a full specs list.
