This past weekend was a busy one… I raced both XC (Sat) & DH (Sun) at the 17th Annual Southridge Challenge, Fontana, CA. Saturday was the last leg of the XC portion of the Triple Crown Challenge (TCC). The 1st was in Bonelli Park, San Dimas, CA (Oct) and the 2nd at Mt. SAC in…
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…
Here’s the video!
As we all know, Eric Hunner has earned a nick name of being the ANIMAL because of his ferocity and his massive size of man. Plus he’s got these gigantor hands that surprises anyone that shakes them. We’re pretty lucky to have him part of the team. As in traditional fashion, Eric wrote a race…

Back in June we received the Sette ST-7 workstand from Price Point. For many cyclists who are wrench-at-home guys/gals, the ST-7 is the perfect addition to your tools. Not only is it compact, it is fully adjustable to various heights and head angles. It can accommodate different types of bikes (road/mtn). It is also handy…
