It’s been over 8 years since our last riding trip to Moab, Utah. Long seen as one of mountain biking’s epic destinations, locations like Whistler and Sedona have been taking precedence the last few years, with more and better singletrack options. Though Moab is known for its beautiful settings and challenging terrain, there really […]
Portland, Oregon Trails: Sandy Ridge / Flow Motion
Flow motion is one of my favorite trails to ride in the Sandy Ridge Trail System. Although it falls under the flow trail category, it’s not completely buffed out like many of the high speed highway style flow trails that are becoming so prevalent. There are plenty of roots and random dips, peppered with the […]
PSA: The Adventures of Slowmo Bro
Riding responsibly is a topic that simply can’t be discussed enough. With the increasing number of young/ new riders hitting the trail, the opportunities for trail conflicts also rise. Minimizing these conflicts and educating new riders on being prepared as well as proper trail etiquette is key to not just growing the sport, but keeping […]
Video: Santa Cruz Nomad vs. Specialized Enduro
We decided to run them head to head on the new flow style trail at Crockett Hills Regional Park to see which bike – and brother – would come out ahead.
Flow Trail Video: Trek Runcatrail, Flims Switzerland
Found on the web this morning, this edit of the TREK Runcatrail in Flims Switzerland has me counting down the days until our summer road trip north to Whistler. The Runcatrail is apparently the longest flow style trail in Europe with a total length of 6 kilometres. That’s about 3.72 miles for us American folk. […]
Pumptrack Video Round-Up
The best part about the concept of the pumptrack is the riding scene that builds around it. Because riders of all ages are capable of riding them, riders of all skill levels gather together to share in the good times. It’s something that isn’t found as often in the mountain bike trail riding scene, where […]
The Tamarancho Flow Trail AKA Endor is open for business
The new flow trail in Marin has been open to ride for a few weeks now, and the word has gotten out. Local bike shops are reporting massive increases in the number of riders coming through Fairfax. Parking lots are full, the trails are busy, (as if they weren’t well populated before) and riders are […]
Danny MacAskill in SF
It’s always amazing to see a trials/ street rider of Danny MacAskill’s level riding his bike. I’ve been on a few rides with incredibly skilled trials riders, and it often just turns into a show. These guys look at features of a city in such a different way from most of us. Where you and […]
Ode to dogs and loam
The latest web edit from Projekt Roam is a love letter to their four-legged companion and the flowy single track of Oakridge, Oregon. If you haven’t been experienced the trails there, you’re in for a treat. Non-doggy lovers, skip ahead to 1:30 for a taste of what you’re missing. The thing I miss the most […]
Santa Cruz Blur TRc now available with 142 rear axle
For years Santa Cruz Bikes has stated their bikes didn’t need a through axle rear end, as they were already quite stiff. When they released the Tallboy LT, they debuted their new 142mm rear axle, something Santa Cruz fans have been clamoring for. Santa Cruz has long claimed the through axle only increases the rear […]
Put some steez in that whip
“There ain’t nothing better than the feeling you get, while throwing the bike sideways and throwing a twisted whip.” That quote is just one snippet from the lyrics in the following video. Is it a bit silly? Maybe, but totally spot on. And now I want to get my dirt jump bike out and hit […]
Kenny Belaey – SF edit
GT put together this nice edit of their new team rider Kenny Belaey. The best part about it? The whole thing was shot in our backyard here in the Bay Area. It’s always amazing to see riders of this caliber riding the features in our everyday environment. When you see a cement block you might […]
