    Session 88 vs Session 77 - Thoughts and Misc Ramblings

    88 FR vs. Previous 77 given same suspension components... Luckily, I have a friend that is a long time rider on a Session 77 who just happened to upgrade it to a RockShox Totem Coil and Fox Racing Shox DHX 5.0, so we also got to do a side by side comparison with last years Trek Session 77...

    HD Helmet Cam Footage

    Thanks Jeff. We need to get up to Windrock again sometime soon. I still owe you beer from the last run up there! BR...Yeah I agree. This was the first ride with it so next time I am going to point it forward/up more and use that surface mount. Hopefully that irons everything out.

    HD Helmet Cam Footage

    Got a chance to play with my new ContourHD from VholdR at a little local spot. This cam blows my VIO 1.5 and GoPro 5mp away by a large margin. Bike was a Kona Coilair Supreme. Camera was on my head via the goggle mount. I think the surface mount is going to have better results and get rid of...

    Trek Session 88 FR Pictures

    I got the new Session 88 FR in to review and this is one sick ride. The first time it saw dirt was this weekend for a local FR/DH race event. Overall...incredible bike so far. More more thrashing will really tell, but I was surprised how well I was able to just jump on the bike and race it...

    Simple small parts are brought in but all headset, thudbuster and shocks are made in house.

    Revisions are coming to the CCDB. There is a really cool new compound that they are going to use for the bottom out bumper that compresses to 2mm and comes back to normal. Crazy...

    A look inside Cane Creek...

    I had the chance to take the 5 dollar tour at Cane Creek over the weekend during my vacation to Pisgah Forest, NC. Malcolm showed me around the CCDB assembly and QC process. Pretty cool stuff! I got also got to photograph (first time anyone has) the new Ohlins shocks that CC is now building...

    Candy Red 29er Perfection

    Thanks for all of the stoke on this ride! It rides better than it looks...if you can even believe that. :shocked:

    Candy Red 29er Perfection

    The BB shell is specifically designed/fabricated for it.

    Candy Red 29er Perfection

    Thanks! It is that slack because the goal was to have really short chain stays to make the bike turn faster and have a lighter front end. The interrupted seat tube design allows you to tuck that bigger wheel in closer and shorten the overall wheelbase. The result is a 29er that turns faster...

    Candy Red 29er Perfection

    It's been awhile since I posted over here, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity. Unknown to me...and the rest of the mtb world...my wife put a deposit on this beauty way back in 2007 as a wedding present. Needless to say...I am extremely stoked! What started off as simple...

    DH and DJ Stoke!

    I haven't posted in awhile so I thought I would throw up some pics... We had a little local event down at Carter's Lake a couple of weekends back. I got a new dj bike in so I'm trying to round out the riding a little bit with some 26" bmx track action. It's nice having a lit...

    Riding Tips for Women

    I have been asking around a lot lately about how I can diversify my blog to attract more readers. After talking to some women, one of the main reasons they do not read some of the more popular blogs is because there is little to no content that relates to them. To change that on my site, I...

    Industry Nine vs. Chris King - The hub debate

    A lot of great responses...and thanks for the input. I have heard a lot of people say that the spokes break more often but I don't see that at all. I think a lot of people assume they will. Both King and I9 make a killer product.
