In case you didn’t see the video yet, I just want to say that “YEEEEA, YEEEEA, YEEEAH…I WOOOOONNNN!!!!!!!!” 😀 I am so excited about this weekends race. Southridge is one of the most technical and difficult trails for me to ride so I am so happy to have barely made it out of there in…
A little off topic but it is biking related. I purchased a cheap commuter through bikesdirect.com. It came with a little dent, 3/4″ by 1/2″, on the seat tube about 6 inches up from the bottom bracket facing forward. The dent does not affect the structural integrity of the bike but it is ugly. The…

Just ask Steve Peat and Nathan Rennie… they’ll tell ya! But seriously, I have to give props to RL Policar for all of his hard work these past two races. As a Team Captain/Mgr role he has been more than supportive for the entire Team. He’s provided everything for us from a tent (shelter from rain),…
We recieved the Selle Success RTM saddle recently. The RTM is a sweet looking red saddle with titanium rails and a carbon fiber under. It weighs in at a pretty competitive 206 grams. Selle Success RTM Red Saddles are a very subjective piece of equipment. My background in saddles are all WTB. I started off…
Recently my coworker gave me an old GT Palomar. It was a 13 inch frame and as soon as I showed it to my daughter Breanna, she fell in love with it. You would think that a World Class Mountain Biking Blogger such as I would have a whole litter of mountain biking kids. Well…
