We just received the P30 chainguide and bashguard from Gamut. The P30 is lightweight unit and is specific to a 36T chainring.  It can be used on all gravity disciplines such as Dual Slalom, 4X, Freeride and Slope Style however we are going to utilize it for downhill racing.  I’ll be mounting the P30…

Want to learn how to make new friends on the trail? It’s really easy, anytime you see a rider, greet them by saying, “Hey Fart Face!” That is known as the universal saying for, “I would like to be your friend!” Nodding or saying, “how’s it going” is pointless. All that says is you’re not…
RL Policar-Eric never stops to amaze me. Not only did he race, but he went on a training ride right after the event! My race prep started days before the actual race, this included shopping for healthy food, riding my local spots, and making a trip to Shimano to drop off some cleats to hopefully…
This was race #4 of a 6 part series at Fontana. What’s neat is we’re starting to see familiar faces of other racers and we’ve made a few friends here and there. On Friday I was able to take one practice run right after the marked the DH course. One run just isn’t enough to…
I’m a super huge fan of mechanical disk brakes for the reason of simplicity. No messy fluids to deal with and very easy to maintain. So when I saw these brakes for $20, I was really pleased and wanted to share with you all the great news! Gatorbrake Mechanical Disc Brakes for $19.99 Product Specifications…

So the other day Dave Sanderson and I were talking about the possibilities of combining our skills to make one super DH rider. David has…
When Moe and I started the race team, we never dreamed that it would be what it is today. Not only do all of our racers perform well, but we all get along and actually like each other. The team’s chemistry is better than what you would see on some of my favorite 80’s TV…
I met the reps of POC at Interbike 2008. New products for 2009 from this Swedish company and makers of snow/ski products are BIKE gear. To be more specific – gear that would cater to the extreme side of bikes, such as Downhill (DH), Freeriding, park and BMX. For our testing we received body armor…
Earlier this week, I headed out to Sycamore Canyon in Riverside, CA. Through the years I’ve heard so many great things about this place. With my trusty Garmin 305, I downloaded the route off www.geoladders.com. Below is the link for those that are interested: http://www.geoladders.com/show_route.php?route=20548. Singletrack in the back ground. Sycamore Cyn has a variety of…
Came across this and thought I’d share. The Mountain Bike Dictionary. After a quick perusal, one of my favorites: Auger v.: to involuntarily take drill samples of the local geology (usually with your face) during a crash. See face plant. Also see “The Moe” below. By the way, I vote we never let Moe live…
