At Sea Otter, we met up with our friend Steve Boehmke and while we chatted he gave me a small tub of a new chamois ointment called Okole Stuff, this is endorsed by World Famous Racer,Pua Sawicki and made by Team Mata LLC. How do you pronounce it? Okole (oh koh lay). Hawaiian word for…

MtnBikeRiders.com received several bottles of SportLegs. Basically I wanted to have our race team use them in a real race setting. We had the opportunity to test how these pills worked during the Shimano Winter Series as well as Counting Coup and Traverse. Cost: $26.95 for a bottle of 120 capsules. What’s in it? Here’s…
Grease Monkey Wipes had sent us some samples to test. Here’s what we found out. I applied some bearing grease to my hand. I can’t stand bearing grease, its hard to get off and even after you wash your hands out, there’s still a bit of a residue. Opened up the wipe. Started wiping… Viola!…
Brief Background:I never considered myself much of a “technical” rider, nor a downhill rider. After RL and I created Team MtnBikeRiders.com, I focused on racing SuperD and didn’t consider downhill, especially since I didn’t have a downhill bike. Since half of the team were downhill riders, I picked up the phone and called my buddy…
Last year we received the Flip Mino from Pure Digital Technologies. Since my initial write-up in September 2008, I’ve been using this little gadget quite a bit. I’ve brought it along on many mountain bike rides as well as normal usage (outside of mt. biking). You may have seen the many ride videos we posted on…
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’ve been testing the POC Sports Cortex Full Face Helmet. What’s tough about testing a helmet is checking to see how well they work in a crash. I doubt any product tester would intentionally place them selves in danger for the sake of a review. Well this is…
At last night’s group ride, we capped off the evening by going to Roscoe’s in Fullerton. It’s a great place for beer and large sandwiches. It was really good to see the team(sans the Animal). Most of the night was filled with conversations about bikes, racing and more bikes! Good times!
First Impression by David “Mini-Mal” Sanderson. The world famous Moe has been tasked with the envious duty of performing in-depth reviews on the KHS DH200 downhill and Lucky 7 freeride bikes. Due to the technical difficulties associated with attempting to ride two bikes at once, I did Moe a favor and spent some time…

Gary Fisher Roscoe III Round number 2 was on the Gary Fisher Roscoe. I had to wait a little while for this one as some dude drove from Vegas to test ride it. That’d be 4 plus hours of driving each way! Before we get going on the review, I have to preface my thoughts…
