So the other day I was talking to a shop employee who was definitely into bikes. He started talking about the new Marzocchi forks and what not. I don’t even recall what he was saying until he tells me that he “just jizzed” himself when he saw this new fandangled fork. Mind you, this isn’t…

Well, the funding for my XC racing machine fell through so I had to come up with a new solution to build the bike: Borrow parts from my K2 Lithium 4.0 bike. So my specs are as follow: Fork: Manitou Black Platinum Wheelset: Vuelta USA StarLite Brakes: Hayes HFX-Nine Hydraulic Stem: Ritchey Logic Crankset: RaceFace…
Australian Jared Graves (Yeti-Fox) and Melissa Buhl (Chandler, Ariz./KHS) were crowned overall champions of the inaugural USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Gravity Calendar as last weekend’s Gravity East Finals in Plattekill, N.Y. marked the conclusion of the season-long calendar. Click here to read the entire article at www.usacycling.org We had a chance to meet Melissa…
Priscilla and I headed out for our weekly ride at the Loop. Man ever since she started riding the Motobecane Fly Pro she’s way faster. She was already fast, but on that machine, being 23lbs…she’s like a rocket on wheels! This was my view most of the ride, she’s got incredible speed and that’s why…
Riding your local trails is always a blast right? The majority of us started mountain biking as trail riders and for good reason. Nothing beats rolling with your friends(or alone) through some sweet, twisty singletrack. But, unfortunately, we live in a moron-rich planet. This past year my favorite local trail, Santiago Oaks, was burned to the ground,…

As the previous Brews Days will show, I’m partial to darker beers. But, as promised, this brews day deal won’t be centralized in one style of brewing. Sure dark beers are great but, let’s be honest, it’s going to be tough sharing a dark stout with your wife/girlfriend/date when it’s thick enough to give you instant…
This bottle right here. My sister told me that her husband started taking this stuff. She couldn’t remember the name at the time, but she knew it worked for him. All she really said was “Liquid Glucosamine.” and that it was sold at Sam’s Club. Since I’ve had this knee pain for over a year…
As you all know we do have a Brews Day category where our very own Lance Lowry goes into great detail to talk about the beer of the week. I love his articles because it’s always interesting and makes me want to try something new. For as long as I could remember, mountain biking and…
One of my biggest pet peeves would be people that like to size me up based on the bike I’m riding. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I don’t ride mainstream bikes such as Trek, Santa Cruz, Gary Fisher and the like. No, I ride or have ridden brands like Woodstock Bikes, Ibex, and…
