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 […]
Hangin’ out at 320 Shred Street
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 […]
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 […]
MBAction’s newest contributor: ihatebikes
We’re stoked to be onboard with Mountain Bike Action as their newest contributor. We’ve been reading the mag since before we bought our first bikes! We’ll be giving spot updates, ride reports and gear reviews as we travel the road. Check out our first submission: Riding Boulder, Colorado’s Bike Parks. click here to check it […]
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 […]
Time is running out – NPS Alert
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 […]
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, […]
