I’ve been lucky enough to actually see Shaun Palmer race back in the NORBA days. When I was in college I had aspirations of becoming a professional photographer and would get press passes to all the pro mountain bike races within driving distance of New Hampshire. I remember one race at Mount Snow I got…
With the 2015 UCI season upon us we now get to wait with anticipation for Claudio’s course previews. Pure entertainment from the pov footage to his amazing commentary (while tearing ass through the course). Here’s the first installment:
Headtube angles, offset, rake, trail…all these seem to be important things when buying a bike. Some of it might seem like marketing bullshit but when a legend like Mike Burrows starts dropping the knowledge, you listen. Check out this cool video over at Bike Radar:
Project Pump Track is on bitches! Broke ground last week (finally) and received a few loads of dirt. Since it’s Fall and I’ve got a metric ton of leaves, before I start shoveling dirt this weekend I’ll be burning debris and leaves. The ground is fairly level but once I’m done burning I’ll be making…
The bros over at NSMB.com produced a pretty amazing video for all of you who don’t know how to be a mountain biker. Not sure how many steps I fit into but I’m definitely not a beer snob. PBR for life!
Spoiler Alert: It sucked. Bad. If you read my post a few months ago leading up to the race, you’d know that I knew exactly what I was getting into. Kind of. I lived in Park City for 10 years and was familiar with the trails, the kind of climbing that I would be…

No offense to Andrew Gunn, Adam Billinghurst and Kenny Smith (the men who built this masterpiece) but my backyard pump track WILL be the ultimate pump track. Ever. Seriously though, how Crankwork can not be on any self respecting mountain bikers bucket list is beyond me. Some serious shenanigans go on there and the…
My Backyard Pump Track So a little over 3 years ago when I decided to move from Utah to Georgia and marry my hot wife I made a few stipulations. When we bought a house I wanted a garage/workshop, a man-cave of some sort, ridiculous central air conditioning (it’s hot as bawls here in…
Saw this on the Transition Bikes blog and it is a nice little write up by one of their sponsored athletes, Alex McAndrew. I just got myself a Drift Ghost HD camera (review coming soon) and would be stoked to build up one of these suckers. With the construction of my new backyard pump track…
So. Here I am. Less than 2 weeks away from competing in the 2013 Park City Point 2 Point race in Park City, Utah. It’s a place I called home for 10 years and I usually travel out there every Fall to visit friends and clients anyways so, I decided to take on this race…
