    no more semi - ex class....?

    "The semi-pro class will indeed be eliminated. It has not served it's purpose as being a U23 breeding ground and feeder to the pro ranks. What it has become is a dumping ground for guys who too fast for "expert" but never fast enough for "pro's". This is not fair to these racers and complicates...

    NMBS Pro Pics From Today!

    Back to the topic at hand. I did a lot of work on the DH course and it was a challenge to "try" to make it tough enough for a national without it becoming a total man made slopestyle course. As more and more places are shut down and access is limited to competition use, its going to be people...

    NMBS Pro Pics From Today!

    What sport isn't ultimately selfish? I think cycling in general is a positive sport in that it is relatable to the entire world. Ya riding down hills on trick bikes is kinda funny, but isn’t putting a ball in a hole or driving in circles. I mean people in Kenya aren’t going to relate...

    NMBS Pro Pics From Today!

    What’s a privateers’ goal? To get to ride and get paid? To not have to bank roll a season on your Visa only to pay for it for the next 5+ years? I think there needs to be incentive for young riders to take the steps and sacrifices to race at an international level. Why go risk your life for...
