The Dog River All Mountain Shuttle

Located on the Hood River side of Mount Hood, the Dog River Trail is just one section of a trail system that features enough single track riding that one could feasibly get lost for days.

Gravity Dropper Classic Adjustable Seat Post- Long Term Review

It's been one of my favorite upgrades to my trail bikes, and out lived more than a few sets of titanium seat rails. It's the Gravity Dropper Adjustable Height Seatpost, and you should have one.

2010 Black Rock Shuttle Day Gallery

Two days of shuttled riding. Funds were raised towards a great cause, and an incredible time was had by all those that came out to ride.
Although it the trails were loose and a bit dusty, conditions of the trails were otherwise incredible. It doesn’t get much better than a day at Black Rock without having [...]

Bike Check: Evan’s Carbon Nomad

When looking to build up an all around bike that can serve as a do-it-all quiver killer, Santa Cruz and their Nomad is on a short list. I’ve talked to more than a few riders that have sold every bike they had just to build up this ride as their only bike.
With the introduction of [...]

The Northwest School of Freeride at Windells Camp

Portland, Oregon has one of the largest concentrations of bicycle friendly concrete skateparks. It is heaven for a lot of 20″ riders, and more than a few top rank BMXers live in the area and call it home. However, when it comes to dirt, and facilities for beginners and intermediates, there isn’t anything for rider [...]

The Whistler Pump track looks sweet.

The Whistler pump track looks rad. These days pump track design had been going in two distinct directions: one way, race-course style, and more of a free-form dirt skate park style. Either way, done right both are wicked fun. Check this bad boy out:
At the moment it sounds like I’m going to make it to [...]

The Dog River All Mountain Shuttle

The Dog River Trail is one of those gems that is way less popular than it really should be. This spring the trail was the course of the Fluid Ride Cup Enduro DH. We didn’t make it out to this event, and I’m still kicking myself for not making the extra effort to do so. [...]

Shopping for a hitch rack: The Northshore 6-Bike Rack

We recently purchased a Honda Element Sports Utility Vehicle. Most everyone is familiar with the boxy profile of the Element, and its usefulness as a transportation for getting our bikes to the trails. It is more like a Subaru AWD car than a truck, but with all wheel drive and rubber interior, it fits our [...]

This weekend, get to the mountains to beat the heat

It just went from crappy wet rain to burning hot here in the Portland area. If you’re looking for stuff to do, and places to ride, Mount Hood is one of the usual place to find it. This weekend we’ve got events going down both Saturday and Sunday, in addition to the primo riding all [...]

PDX Trail Updates: Scappoose and lower Hide and Seek now open

Source: NWTA
Sandy Ridge update: Lower Hide and Seek is open as of 7/2/10. And it is riding really, really well. A lot of work has gone into re-enforcing the tread with rock and aggregate, and it should hold up much better this winter. A number of sections have been modified as well, and as a [...]

Ashland Super D

Originally published 6/18/2010 on MBAction.com
Ashland, Oregon, is a fun place to ride your bike. It seems like just a few years ago I was living in Ashland, we often talked about how cool it would be to race from the top of the mountain into town. It turns out we weren’t the only ones [...]

Shuttle Access to Knappa DH Trails Closed

The thing we feared the most with the Knappa trails, and the reason the exact location of the trails has been kept out of the public eye has come true. The gate has been locked to the public, ending shuttle access, and effectively shutting down access to the DH trails. The irony is that it [...]
