the past couple of months i've been traveling a lot all over the country for work. each trip i try and acquire a bicycle to ride in some form or fashion. last week i was in rochester NY for the PGA championship. a bmx friend let me borrow his single speed 29er. he told me there were some "gems"...
i fly with a bike quite a bit, although a bmx bike, same rules apply. your goal is to have as little bags as possible and keep them below 50lbs. i use an ogio monster golf bag and i can fit all of my bmx bike in there plus more.
i was talking with Phil Sundbaum a while back, we were both at...
little go pro action from salem lake the other day. got some other trail videos in the works. more XC stuff than freeride, but still fun none the less!
hey d00ds, sorry i've been MIA for a few months. been busy doing a lot of filming and stuff. but i just recently got back from out west, super fun. rode with some guys at woodward west who were on big bikes. some dude phil that rides for haro and some other guys, they were filming for...

big cement pond with wallrides and hips...
i used to stop by there on my way up north and we'd just go ride the track. no one was ever there. it was never well maintained but this was like 6 years ago.
its really hard getting used to manualing my 29er. i can do rollers and stuff like that, but i can manual as long as i want to on my 20, so its def a different beast.
as far as hopping it, its def not as easy. i can hope handlebar high on my 20, but only about 2 feet on the 29er. its just...
yeah its been right at a month now, rigid is pretty fun but its killing my hands/wrist/arm combo. ordering a fork in a week or so when a client pays up.
yeah i'm a bmx'er and just got a kona unit 2-9'er. its a super fun ride. i've been riding it about 3 weeks on some fairly rough trails(roots and rocks) and i'm definitely upgrading to a suspension fork. i guess i'm just too used to smooth riding, haha.
