On Sunday the Downhill Dept. of the MtnBikeRiders.com Race Team participated in race #2 of the Shimano Winter Series in the beautiful city of Fontana, Ca. For some reason I felt fancy this weekend. Rather than sporting my 2011 jersey that looks pretty fly, I opted for my one of a kind MtnBikeRiders.com Tuxedo Jersey.…

During the last 4 years that we’ve been in business, we’ve used an awesome slogan, “Dirt is Good.” Though this is a timeless saying, I thought to myself…“Gee RL, you’re so fantastic and smart, but wouldn’t it be great to come out with a new slogan?” I wanted to make sure that whatever slogan we…
This past Saturday was the inaugural Super D Duper presented by MtnBikeRiders.com. I set up this event to be a low key/underground thing because I didn’t want to make it too big. So that meant it had to be an invitational. If you didn’t receive an invite, its probably because I don’t have your email.…
My daredevil brother, Randy was in town this weekend. I had offered to take him out downhilling because he’s never tried it before. I figured, he’d do just fine since he jumps out of perfectly working airplanes at 13,000 feet…for a living! So we drove out to Southridge in Fontana, Ca. and rode the same…
It was about three months ago when teammate Wes Castro shattered his hip during a practice DH run on one of the segments of the 2010 Winter Series. Since then our Team has been planning a fund raiser/raffle to assist with Wes’ medical bills. In conjunction with The Path bike shop (located in Tustin, CA)…
For the past few years, we’ve been hosting an annual New Year’s Day Ride at the Fullerton Loop. We usually keep the pace at a very mild and easy tone in which we’ve dubbed it a “relaxed vibe.” We keep it mellow to be sensitive to the party goers from the night before. Earlier this…
I struggled for a couple days to write the review of the KHS Lucky 7. I kept transitioning from reviewing the bike to telling stories about the bike. Finally, I’ve decided that’s exactly what I’m going to do. What follows, is the story of my time aboard this bike. The trips, the rides and the…
It’s Halloween night and I am taking it easy. First I have a race tomorrow at Mount SAC in Walnut CA, and second I need to be able to function at 12:01 am November 1, 2009. The sign ups are just after Midnight tonight for “The Traverse 2010”, space is limited to 175 riders willing to…
After months of persuasion, Priscilla agreed to try DH with me. She was never a big fan of the technical aspect of this genre of riding, but since she’s super cool and a kick butt rider, she figured it was worth a shot. Since she’s never done DH before, the protective equipment we had for…
A small crack commando group from the MtnBikeRiders Crew assembled a relaxed vibe ride that consisted of a fantastic lap around the Fullerton Loop. This ride was to be followed by an Easter Egg Hunt at the trail head. Invites were sent and our fab-O-luscious friend, Vince Rodarte (KHS Sideways Sales Manager), and his two…
