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 [...]

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.

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. [...]

Gravity Dropper Classic Adjustable Seat Post- Long Term Review

After more than four years of abuse (mounted on numerous frames, both full suspension and rigid) my Gravity Dropper  Classic Adjustable height seat post has given up the ghost. And while I’m a bit bummed, and a bit disappointed, I honestly can’t say there are a lot of products I’ve owned this long. It’s been a [...]

Fresh facelift for the site; IHB website redesigned

You may have noticed a few changes in the look of the website. It might not appear to be that much different (yet), but that is because most of the changes are underneath the hood. What’s the point of being a web designer if you don’t redesign the website now and then? I’m not done [...]

A bike park at Timberline?

The rumors were confirmed yesterday, when the page on the Timberline website went live. We’ve all been hearing about the possibilities of a world class bike park coming to Oregon, and the odds of having such a facility (just an hour away) is becoming that much closer to being a reality. Even better, Timberline has [...]

UPDATE: Marmot is out, Road 14 is in

<UPDATED>We’ll just get to the point regarding the Flow Trails at the Marmot Dam area. Freeride trails were not authorized for the area, and will not be sanctioned at this time. All the wood structures featured in the previous post have been decommissioned.
Does it suck? Yes. It is heart breaking to see the hard work [...]
