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…

This past weekend, my friend Full Squish Randall & I went out and rode some bikes at the Trek Demo in Fullerton. First off, I got to give props to Matt Gfell of Jax Fullerton. Matt got us started on a couple of matching Gary Fisher Superflys. Full Squish Randall & I were like twin…

The weekend started early on ALL counts for me.  On Friday I headed to Fontana to pre-ride the DH & Super D course.  With only two races left, I am currently in good standings with the overall points for the Winter Series in both – Super D & DH.  I wanted to be prepared for…

This race was the 2nd to the last of the 6 part series. You would have to race at least 5 of the 6 to qualify for the overall points. So far, I’m the only one in my category that has raced at least 4 and the next race on the 22nd would make it…

During my practice runs before my DH race, I crashed 2 times in which I landed on my right side. In previous races and practice sessions, I’ve also crashed on my right side. If you look at my impact suit and knee/shin pads, my left side is pretty clean, no gouges or obvious signs of…

We’ve previously discussed purchasing gently used equipment and also mentioned buying parts through other countries if the dollar is stronger than…

From the makers of one of the most comfortable grips comes something super cool… Glow–In–The–Dark grips.  This is new for 2009 in their standard Mountain style grips (non lock–ons).      I’ve been using Oury Grips (standard & lock–ons) for many years now. I can’t say it enough that they are comfortable! They fit very well in my hands.    I…

I have decided to call it quits. That’s right, no more mountain biking of any type for RL. I will begin my new career into body building since it doesn’t require any type of conditioning, all I have to do is lift weights… I will hang up the cleats and the bike only if I…
