I had an old cassette that I didn’t need anymore. So I decided to take the 13t cog and clean it up a bit. Once it was all clean, I placed it on my tree. Tada! Yah I know you’re jealous, but you don’t have to be. Just make your own!

One of my buddies, Alfredo, is new to the sport. But he’s not a big fan of pedaling up a hill. So I invited him out to ride some DH with me @ Fontana. This was his first time trying downhill and he was doing well…up to the point where a rock came out of…
I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand those luxury car commercials during the holidays. You know which one I’m talking about right? The kind that has some douche showing his wife her new car with a big red bow….and then she reacts all crazy. C’mon…not only do those commercials make me feel poor,…
This past Saturday was the inaugural Super D Duper presented by MtnBikeRiders.com. I set up this event to be a low key/underground thing because I didn’t want to make it too big.

Got this from my brother. He placed the decal on his bar butler. Looks good if you ask me!

Since the recent posting of the the video with my brother Randy, and I riding in Fontana, I had received a ton of compliments on the quality, content and angles of the footage. One of the questions frequently asked, “who was filming?” To answer that, I said, “Randy and I would set up the camera,…
My daredevil brother, Randy was in town this weekend. I had offered to take him out downhilling because he’s never tried it before. I figured, he’d do just fine since he jumps out of perfectly working airplanes at 13,000 feet…for a living! So we drove out to Southridge in Fontana, Ca. and rode the same…
