DH Practice at the Sea Otter Classic

One of the best parts about racing the downhill at the Sea Otter is the practice sessions. My favorite memories of racing have always been the times we’ve walked the course, then worked to dial in lines with friends. The race is certainly the most exciting part of the weekend, but the hours of waiting [...]

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 [...]

30+ rider freeride session at Post Canyon

Social media is all over the news these days, for good reason. We saw the effectiveness of using it to communicate to riders last weekend when local rider Todd McCarthy posted on Pinkbike.com asking friends to join him on his birthday for a ride session at Post Canyon.

Video: the Flying Dutchman DH Trail in Knappa, OR

I did a bit of filming of some local NW rippers on our secret trails in Knappa last week. The guys recently did a trail maintenance day, and the conditions of the trail were incredible. The trail we’re on is called the Flying Dutchman. It’s the shortest trail on the hill, as it only goes [...]

Tunnel Trail- Santa Barbara, California

All the cold and wet winter riding here has us longing for warmer climes and sunny weather. It has been an interesting time, especially after not even having a winter last year, (that was nice!) and living in the moderate weather of the Bay Area for the last several years.
