For those of you who like mountain biking… Never since the original LA Coliseum Superbowl of Motocross has there been an event like this. Southridge Racing Club owner Donny Jackson put up some bucks, secured a mini stadium, found some dirt, and designed a 4-Cross course. He even tracked down the original Superbowl of Motocross…

Last night I headed out for a slightly unexpected Thursday night ride at the local loop. After the kids were down, my wife graciously let me out of the house to go ride, of course with her obligatory “Don’t do anything stupid” parting phrase. As this was sort of a last minute ride I had…

I just wanted to boast about how great it is to have massive amounts of discipline in my life. As some of you may know I have massive amounts of discipline in my life but I really don’t like to show it off. I may boast about it but to put it out there for…

Check it out! The Huffy Lakota Women’s Bicycle from Toys R Us. It comes with an inverted fork that decreases the rake of the bike and throws all those geometry numbers out the window. Who needs geometry anyway? All we’re doing is riding bikes. Also, make sure to check out the XC race friendly front…

RL and I were taking photos for his upcoming Kona glove review. We were cracking up when we were taking these shots because our little Cowboy ran over and jumped up to try and get our attention during the short photo shoot. His timing was hilarious! I had to share this shot of him smiling.…
