Blackburn Airstick Longnek Evo, Dispelling the Myth.

Quiet your mind and imagine a land before time... Envision a herd of longnecks gracefully roaming an adolescent planet Earth, without fear they graze, sing songs, and raise their young uninterrupted for millenia. Legend has it that on one fate filled day the very threads of this peaceful existence were torn asunder. The great skies opened up, raining fire on these Jurassic giants. From their ashes... the Blackburn Airstick Longneck Evo was birthed.

Evolved to be compact enough to stow neatly in one's repair satchel without sacrificing it's unprecedented utility. Using it's retractable omnivorous pump head, whose tongue has a taste for either presta or schraeder valve types, and it's collapsing handle, the Longneck allows for greater leverage enhancing pumping ease. It also ensures limited angular stress placed on the valve stem itself, inspiring relief the rivals barely escaping death found in the bottomless bowels of a tar pit.

Unlike it's prehistoric predecessors, if this pump should prematurely perish, Blackburn offers a lifetime warranty that will secure it's species survival throughout any cataclysm. In conclusion we can reflect on the timeless wisdom of Dr. Ian Malcolm, that even in chaos, "life finds a way".

Blackburn Portable Pump - Review by Colleen Hughes

In all honesty, this is the best portable pump I have ever used.

It's small, which would allow it to fit in most bags. It even has a mount for your bike. It has a sleek design and I would even say it is actually aesthetically pleasing. The foot lever is a key part of the pump; I didn't have to squeeze both feet together against the bottom, as I have had to do with previous pumps.

The best features of the pump are the large handle (which clamps tightly against the pump itself for storage) and the flexible hose. The handle allows for the use of your entire hand and is actually comfortable to use; I didn't experience any pain at all. The flexible hose makes it so much simpler connect to the valve. If I could make any changes, I would add a gauge. But, when it comes down to it, I would just have to pump until I can't pump anymore, and it would be plenty of pressure.
