Interbike Interviews/Demos

[kanga]

It looks like I may have the opportunity to do a few interviews at Interbike. A videographer friend has asked me to go on-camera and do some interviews and/or product demos. My friend already has some lined up, but I haven't seen his list yet.

Anyone have suggestions as to whom or which companies I should try to get in front of a camera? I'm not much interested in the big guns who already get plenty of coverage, but more interested in the outside-the-mainstream smaller companies who are innovating but don't usually get a lot of coverage.

I already have a few ideas, but am interested to hear what others think. The list of exhibitors is at http://www.interbike.com/ib/interbik...bitor_list.jsp

No promises, but I'll see how well I can hide my nervousness, if it happens. I much prefer the back end of the camera than the front!

Corsair bikes look pretty interesting and they are a fairly new company, Intense and Rocky Mountain both have new bikes that are interesting as well those are 3 that I want to see when I go on Thursday. Cove would probably be funny.

Might also want to check out TruVativ's Hammerschimidet or however you spell it.

You can always kick it at the chumba booth, better yet demo some of the latest and greatest.

An interview with Brent Foes and a demo of some of their 2009 bikes (Prototype RS7, 2:1 Prolite, Prolite XC, 2:1 4X and 2:1 FXR) would sure interest me.
Foes is very close to my house. I see that the building is for sale. I've heard Foes is considering outsourcing their frame manufacturing overseas which would mean they'd no longer be hand crafting their frames in Pasadena.

i think it would be cool to Interview Giant, and ask them how they think they compare to a company that Massly produces bikes, yet will also do some custom Geometry.
I think giant should do some Custom Geometry and stuff for their bikes.

Thanks for the suggestions... I'm also thinking more of the small non-bike companies. Components, electronics, etc.

Just in time for fall and winter, Lights. Especially anyone doing new high power LED lighting systems.
