That’s my new motto for 2009 as I ride my Rigid Single Speed. Finishing touches on my rigid singlespeed were done over the holidays. Last component needed on this project were the disc brakes. I found a killer deal on Avid Juicy 5s right before Christmas. Top it off it was free shipping and arrived…

Today the some of the world famous MtnBikeRiders Racing Team Riders, headed out to Fontana to test ride the Super D, DH and XC course in order to prepare for next week’s race. First up was the Super D course that was used last week in which Joe Solancho placed 4th in his category. So…
MtnBikeRiders has been frequenting Whiting Ranch as of late. Today was just another ride as I showed Val the trails of Whiting Ranch. What made this ride interesting was when we reached Four Corners there was a Ranger truck parked up top without a ranger. After a brief rest, we headed down Cactus. I…
RL Policar-Eric “The Animal” Hunner is our BIGGEST racer on the team. Not only does he stand at a towering 6′ 24″ tall, he also weighs somewhere around 240-900 lbs, and that’s ALL MUSCLE. This guy is so powerful, his torque when he pedals is strong enough to snap crank arms in HALF! Yes I…
Carbon Fiber Pronghorn Bike Here’s your chance to ‘Ride on Top’, you’ve probably seen these bikes on our site, in fact we have a big ass banner on the top. Well, all ‘will it shear my nuts’ jokes aside, the Pronghorn bike that I tested at Sea Otter has been one of the best high…

RL Policar-Kim Finch is one of our most talented racers on the team. She’s was the Triple Crown Champ for XC and also won a number of Championships for 2008 at Southridge. With that in mind, I present to you Kim Finch’s race report. Well, a fresh new season has begun with the Fontana Winter…
Don’t get my title wrong, the Ibex Ignition 3 has impressed me beyond its capabilities. Ibex Bikes sells the Ignition as one of their “All Mountain” bikes. The bike was spec’d with decent parts such as Shimano Deore, LX, FSA, Rockshox, Marzocchi and many more. Ibex’s pretty much marketed this bike to be a great…
Back to the grind! After about a month break with plenty of eating through the Holidays I opted to skip the XC race for the Southridge WS #1. There to meet me at Fontana Saturday morning were team mates RL, Priscilla, Kim, Tony, Moe, Eric, David and our families. SUPER D… With little time…
I was googling “1 1/4″ to 2″ hitch adaptor” this morning for my Accord when I came across this website: Harbor Freight Tools. It only came up first because I accidentally spelled “adapter” as “adaptor”. Looking through the site this no-name hitch mount bike rack caught my eye. Not so much for the design, but…
