Ashland is known for fun and fast lines, but the trails are lacking in providing actual air time. (Which is why the also secret Wagner […]
Jim-Bob’s Pump track: Basic Loop Backyard Track
My hard drive is full of pictures from sessions that never made it onto the site. Since we’re waiting for the sun to return and digging in the meantime, now seemed as good a time as any to showcase Jim-Bob’s backyard in Portland, Oregon. Word has it his wife put the kibosh on the track […]
Sneaking into 104 Bronson- home of Santa Cruz Bicycles
Ok, they don’t really make the bikes there, other than mocking up ridable prototypes like a bike we saw that looked like an suspiciously like an alloy Blur, but with really big wheels. It was a bike I wasn’t allowed to pull the camera out for, as it was referred to as an experiment no […]

Salem Fairgrounds Covered Dirt Jump Spot Check
On our way up from southern Oregon we stopped off at the Salem Fairgrounds to see what the status of the covered bike park area was. There aren’t a lot of covered areas to ride in the winter here in the northwest, so knowing these jumps are happening could be relevant to our sanity in […]
All Mountain or Long Travel Trail?
Having ridden and owned a lot of bikes, not to mention the constant tech talk and smack talking I partake in with various industry friends it isn’t surprising to me when friends ask my opinion on what their next ride should be. The good news is that there are a lot of great bikes made […]
Palmer/ Warner Interview (via Freecaster)
This interview with Shaun Palmer by fellow former pro racer Rob Warner is simply too cool not to re-post. For riders of my generation, Shaun Palmer practically defined the sport for us.
