On last Saturday’s ride through Sycamore Canyon, I was miserable. Worn out and dehydrated, I was jacked up. But I looked great! How? It was only possible with the help of my new glasses… My new sunglasses says “ride like a rock star.” Just match it up with a white helmet, and you’re ready to…

Afraid of the new trail? I noticed it the first time I did a shuttle ride. Normally I’m all about the XC trails: flowy, some tech, uphills, downhills, singletrack for miles. But the shuttle ride was decidedly not XC. It was definitely more AM-ish so much so that when the shuttle driver picked us up…
All you’ll need is one accessory, and that’s your helmet. Most gangsta looks start with a hat being placed backwards, sideways or which ever would look hardcore. With that being said, I’ve come up with a photo tutorial on how to look “gangsta” while riding. Why would you want to look gangsta? Well, everyone knows…
Want to learn how to make new friends on the trail? It’s really easy, anytime you see a rider, greet them by saying, “Hey Fart Face!” That is known as the universal saying for, “I would like to be your friend!” Nodding or saying, “how’s it going” is pointless. All that says is you’re not…
By definition Synergy means….n., pl. -gies. 1. The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. So the other day Dave Sanderson and I were talking about the possibilities of combining our skills to make one super DH rider. David has…
Came across this and thought I’d share. The Mountain Bike Dictionary. After a quick perusal, one of my favorites: Auger v.: to involuntarily take drill samples of the local geology (usually with your face) during a crash. See face plant. Also see “The Moe” below. By the way, I vote we never let Moe live…
There’s something about riding DH that get’s Priscilla to pay more attention to me. I’ve benefited from having her wow at my awesome-tastic DH skills and the occasional podium makes it even sweeter. So if you feel like you need to turn up the heat in your relationship, give DH riding a shot. You don’t…
It seems that some of you enjoyed our “Lighter side of Racing” post, so here’s part DOS. Has anyone seen my contact lens???? Hey Joe, how big is it??? “Yes Mr. Team Manager, I’m listening…” “Mmmm I can smell the first place podium all the way from here” It looks like someone needs to polish…
Each rider has their limits on what they can do. When you come across a certain portion of the trail do you dismount because its too scary, technical or perhaps you dropped your cajones further back on the trail to execute the task? Do you steer away from rock gardens? Log crossings? Jumps… What ever…
I work for a softball/baseball equipment company (don’t ask me for a discount). So we get tons of guys that come in and want to talk softball and how the latest bat is hot and how they hit it so far and yada yada yada. It’s basically talking shop, men love to do that and…
