Life on the road can be a bit hectic. Trying to balance bike advocacy with having a personal life, as well as trying to maintain a semblance of physical fitness has been a challenge, but after a few months of living on the road, we’re actually managing to get into a sort of non-routine-routine. If […]
Sedona MTB Vacation
When living as a road based nomad, it is always good to find a place to check out for a bit and hide. Even better if it’s known for gorgeous scenery and legendary trails. After a Subaru/ IMBA Trail Care Crew visit to Phoenix, we choose to make Sedona, Arizona as the place to make […]
Why You Should Consider Supporting IMBA
It’s never been more important to support IMBA, especially if you live in California. With the recent enforcement/ bike ban of the popular UCSC trails in Santa Cruz, as well as the impending CA State Parks Wilderness Bill, there is a serious threat for mountain bikers and trails statewide, and we need everyone to register […]
Subaru/ IMBA Trail Care Crew visits: Part One
We’ve been living on the on the road for a while now. Here’s summary of where we have been, and here is an account of the missions the Subaru/ IMBA Trail Care Crews have accomplished to date:
Trek Session 88 FR – First Ride
There is nothing better than swinging a leg over a new bike and feeling right at home. That is exactly the feeling I had astride the new Session 88. The Session has been on my radar since Trek Brand Manager Michael Browne showed us the new Session models at Sea Otter last year. Trek knew […]
On the Road With the Subaru/ IMBA Trail Care Crews
It’s official, we’re on the road! We’ve been traveling since the beginning of the year with the senior crew, Kelly and Collins Bishop, and have hardened up into seasoned professional travelers. We’ve been learning the ways of the road, and adopted the lifestyle that comes with a life on the road. Every week we are […]
The Fix Pump Track: Boulder, Colorado
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 […]
Valmont Bike Park Update
During IMBA’s staff week, we had the chance to sit down with Pete Webber, IMBA Trail Specialist , and learn more about the Valmont Bike Park. He pulled out the original blue prints and shared the scoop on this incredible project. For those uninformed of the scope of the project, the Valmont Bike Park is […]
A letter home
We’ve now been in Boulder for over two weeks and are about to finally head on the road. Our first week began with a meet and greet with the office staff here at IMBA, the International Mountain Bicycling Association. We learned quite a bit, and are a bit overwhelmed even with the sheer amount of […]
Reviewed: the Gary Fisher Roscoe One Trailbike
We get our new Fisher Roscoe trail bikes, and see what they are made of.
The Gunbarrel Jumps (AKA Eaton Park)
Boulder, Colorado has a lot of great riding for the dirt jumper/ freeride/ downhiller demographic. Between the jumps at the Fix, 63rd, the Boulder skatepark, and the Gunbarrel Jumps at Eaton Park, there is a lot of fun to be had. When you add all the awesome places to ride within an hour’s drive, the […]
Riding the Boulder Skatepark
One of the best things about Boulder is how bike friendly this town is. On top of that, there are a ton of places to freeride and dirt jump. With the addition of the much hyped Valmont Bike Park, Boulder is straight writing itself into the map. The bike love even extends to the skatepark, […]
