We’ve had the Airborne Goblin for a few weeks now and I wanted to provide our handsome as well as the ugly readers an update on how this bike is holding up. Mind you, our formal review will be up soon, and this update is to give you taste on what’s been going on with…

Yes it’s true, I am guilty of using Performance Enhancing Products to help me ride faster. I figured it was time that I let the whole world know the secret I’ve been hiding… Here’s how I’ve been doing it…1 hour before my ride, I will…have a bowl of Kellogg’s FrootLoops. Once I’m done with that…
Like many XC-oriented guys, I’ve been riding clipless pedals for a long time (about 12 years in my case) – switching over as soon as I could afford the pedals, and with the expectation that riding clipless would make me a better rider. Lately I’ve been questioning that – and also feeling like I wanted…
A few months ago we were sent the LifeProof iPhone Case to review. This product claims it’s water, dirt, snow and shock proof. What better way to test a product than by going mountain biking and giving it to the hands of a teenage girl. I’ll get more into that later. One of the items…

I know that we’ve seen photos of Obama riding a Trek Hybrid with his family, but what if he and Romney were seen doing some cool stuff like downhill, Super D and etc? I know when George W. was mountain biking, people loved the fact he seemed relate-able and heck he wasn’t half bad at…
It’s official, the Stoker for the 2Fast4U Tandem will be Team Racer, Nick DiBlasi. We had a dress rehearsal on Sunday evening to see how we felt on the tandem. Boo, Nick, RL and Khoala. Big thanks to Lady P for the photos. A little black and white for dramatic effect. Everything seems to be…
Here’s an interesting product that we saw at Interbike. It’s called Dry Case. Check out the video to see how it works.
Had the pleasure of test riding this beautiful 29er made by Salsa, the Spearfish 29er. Climbs pretty good, no pedal bob. That’s only because the guys at the Salsa booth set up the Fox Float just right for my weight and even set the sag. SRAM drive train with X9 derailleur. Rockshox Reba fork. Stans…
