It seems like our time in Boulder was months ago. It is hard to believe we have only been on the road a few weeks. And while we have been a few great trail rides in here and there, I am really missing some of the great dirt jumping sessions we had courtesy of our […]

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.

Our first week began with a meet and greet with the office staff here at IMBA, the International Mountain Bicycling Association.

We get our new Fisher Roscoe trail bikes, and see what they are made of.
Colorado Bike Parks by Jason Van Horn on
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.

Time is running out. We ask that all of our friends that ride bikes take a moment to add a comment on IMBA.com. All comments will help the cause- even if you just click the sample form. The worst case scenario is that Mountain Bikers stay apathetic on this issue- and harm our chances at further access […]
Colorado Bike Parks by Jason Van Horn on
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, […]
