I just took delivery of a new product that we’ll be testing on the site. Now keep in mind this isn’t a mountain bike, part or accessory, but if you’re anything like me, I do imbibe in the occasional energy drink before and after a good mountain bike ride. This is where Soda Stream comes…

Kali, a San Jose based company, maker of fine helmets and protective gear, came out with the super light helmet for 2010. The Avatar – weighing in at only 849 grams! This has to be one of the lightest in the industry for a full face helmet. Mine weighed in at 852 grams, so production…

… in a featured bike jersey advertisement goes to… On-One! Personally, I’d like to see RL rock the new MtnBikeRiders.com jersey. Who wants to see that? Respond in the comment section!

On Sunday I rode the first part of the Vision Quest an Endurance Cross Country Mountain Bike Race, { link for course} . The preride was a 25 mile loop up Blackstar canyon,  to Main Divide, and down Motorway, {link for preride} I was almost knocked off my bike at Beeks Place by the crazy…

Enervit sent us a sample of Enervitene Cheerpacks to try, RL sent it my way knowing that I have the “Vision Quest” 56 mile and 12,000 feet of climbing mountain bike event coming up. I have been training hard for the upcoming event on March 20, 2010, and I need every edge I can get…

With three children under 5 years old it has become exponentially more difficult to get out of the house for rides. Over the three day Valentine’s Day/Chinese New Year’s three day weekend, I was able to get out for about 40 miles which is quite a bit for me. The weekend started when my office…

I recently received the Prologo Vertigo Nack to review. I’ve only put about 40 miles on the saddle, so this is just a quick first impression and some pictures for everyone to look at. Out of the box, the Vertigo Nack looks plain Jane from the top save for the flash of gold on its…

This past year Joe “J Sizzle” Solancho hooked up our team with a new team sponsor “Spenco“. If you haven’t heard of this company yet you MUST check them out. The company offered to send us some sweet gloves to ride with. I must confess that I initially was not impressed with the limited selection…

Here are MtnBikeRiders.com we’ve been tasked with testing the Vholdr Contour HD 1080P camera, and though the initial impressions are awesome, the lack of a vented helmet mount left a bitter impression in the staffers minds. The goggle strap that comes with the camera is awesome, relatively secure and adjustable. The rub was, just how often does a mountain biker wear goggles? For most of us, that’s during DH shuttle runs and maybe free-riders. Here in sunny so-cal there just aren’t that many shuttle runs to explore and most of which could be ridden comfortably on a 6″ all-mountain bike.
So what does all this babbling lead to? Most mountain bikers wear XC style lids most of the time! This left us hoping for a vented helmet mount. Well, Vholdr was aware of this and was working hard behind the scenes and the wait is over!

So color me happy when he produced an ebook called: Ramped Riding for $20. Ramped Riding ebook In these down…
