I was lucky enough to double-check the weather the night before which showed high temperatures for the day in the high 50’s. It was not going to be a warm day by California standards. I…

The last few weeks, I’ve been drinking the 3 energy drinks you see below. Redbull Sugar Free, FRS Energy and Monster Lo-Carb I prefer low-carb drinks just because their sugared counter parts do nothing but make me drowsy. One thing great about each of these drinks, they cost right around $2.00 a piece. I’m going…
Well, I completed my SS build just after Thanksgiving and have managed to log a over a hundred miles on it already. The frame is a Niner SIR9 with a Fox 32 F29 fork and Industry Nine XC 29er wheels. Niner touts this frame as demonstrating that “Steel Is Real” and thereby the frame got…

So I had the rare fortune to ride with a couple of local heros Monday afternoon. I got to ride with Mark “the Polish” Hammer and Dan “Super B” Burdett. Both Mark and Dan are great riders and all around good guys to hang with. I know that there is a certain “air” that comes…
During the last 4 years that we’ve been in business, we’ve used an awesome slogan, “Dirt is Good.” Though this is a timeless saying, I thought to myself…“Gee RL, you’re so fantastic and smart, but wouldn’t it be great to come out with a new slogan?” I wanted to make sure that whatever slogan we…
So I ordered some new stuff from EVOMO, and I LOVE IT! This is my new Evomo Zulu Jacket. This jacket has been perfect during the wet weather we’ve been having. I’ve even used it during a recent rainy DH session, it kept me nice and dry! I also bought a new Magnum R hat.…
