Spot Check: Salem State Fairgrounds Dirt Jump Park and BMX Track

On the way back from Black Rock for the Shuttle Day, I went searching for the dirt jump park at the Expo area. Turns out it wasn’t at all where I thought it was. After driving around for over 20 minutes, I found the entrance. Since I’m such as swell frood, I made ya’ll a [...]

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 [...]

All you need is dirt, water, some tools, and a lot of time. The plan: create the most awesome backyard possible within the given amount of time and resources.

Backyards full of awesome

At this point, it would be surprising it you haven’t at least heard about the pump track phenomenon sweeping the scene. It’s for good reason too- pump tracks are super fun, and not only provide a great way to build handling skills, but they don’t require as much space as dirt jumps.

Got my DJ fix at.. the Fix

One of our favorite spots to ride in the city of Boulder was amazingly enough, at a bike shop. A lot of shops have test ride areas where one can “try before you buy”. However, this is one shop that took that concept and blew it up! It isn’t often you see a shop that [...]
