One thing I saw out and around at Sea Otter was a dh bike that I saw at Interbike and I just knew it would be an awesome bike to ride. It was the new COMMENCAL SUPREME DHv3. When I was running around on the downhill course during sport- beg practice I spotted this beauty and I just…

While at Sea Otter, I was stopped by an exhibitor claiming that his chain lube is green, biodegradable and better than anything out there. The brand is called Yelo Velo and I was given the Xtra Dry Lube and some sort of degreaser. So the nice gentleman went on to explain that the Xtra Dry…

If you recall, the late 80’s and early 90’s Ford put out a really ugly car called the Ford Taurus. No matter how much they dolled it up, it was still an ugly Taurus. It’s kinda like that saying (slightly modified) “If you put lipstick on Ugly…its still Ugly.” So here were are looking at…
