What I’ve been doing, in preparation for the biggest race of my life, is a lot of mother fucking riding. I had 4 weeks in a row of 200 miles or more on my bike, including thousands of feet of climbing. I put in 20 hours the week before last, when Gnome came to visit. [...]
Mohican – sub minus 5 days.
This guy takes a hit like Lance Armstrong’s career.
I finally got some dirt miles in. FINALLY.
Place: Versailles Indiana Loops: 4 Number of turtles on the trail: 6 Crashes: 5 Miles: 52 After almost 6 weeks off the trails, the rain stayed away long enough for a few trails to open up. Versailles State Park is about an hour away, so I met Kevin, a guy from my LBS, at the [...]
Rider Down: Mike Tag
Rider down. Not from a car this time, but from cancer. A few weeks ago, Mike was diagnosed with Lymphoma and is currently undergoing intense chemotherapy to try and beat this thing. Tag is one of the original members of FBM Bike Company and his aggressive riding influenced an entire generation of BMX riders, myself included. Being from upstate [...]
Damn…
Found this little gem on Reddit. Thought you guys would appreciate it. —bp. ps : …damn.
12 hours into the 24 in Old Pueblo….
While Dirty, D2 and Gnome rip it up in the Old Pueblo tonight, I thought I’d post a few links I had saved for a while. In the meantime, just got a text from Dirty: “the 40mph wind is killing me”. * Updated: 5:58pm (AZtime) DB posted to Facebook: “Sitting in my truck trying to [...]

I want this to be my backyard.
Thanks Mikey.
Rays MKE
Indoor mountain biking at Rays is supposed to be a lot of fun. Sure looks that way from this video. We’re headed up to the CLE Rays on VD. I can only imagine what kind of damage Dominic is going to do on his jump bike.
Does Your Monday Measure Up?
I was just sipping my coffee, listening to Against Me!, and going through some photos from the past year. When I stumbled upon this gem: A bunch of grown men at a skate park goofing off. It seems like a pretty good way to start a Monday. Keep it Dirty…
“What’s Judi mad about this week?”
This morning I woke up at 6am, coughing. I layed in bed, holding my pee, and coughing. I was hoping I could lay in bed a while longer, but the cough kept on, waking Dominic up about 20 minutes later. Dominic: You know you aren’t racing tomorrow. Me: Shut up. It’s the last race. I’m [...]
