The Chandler BMX park is a pretty amazing oasis of concrete in the desert. It’s right down the street from my work and occasionally I will go for a little “business lunch” to ride it. Flailing around doing straight airs and wall rides can really break up an afternoon of corporate America. I always see some impressive [...]
The Local Bar Has Been Raised: Kevin Peraza
IF only…
Back in my college days I had a roommate that had a lot of IF bikes. All steel, all campy, and all with custom paint jobs. We didn’t dare touch them or even think about riding them. But this roommate also liked Guinness beer, a whole heck of a lot. Whenever he would get all tanked on that [...]
Who’s Your Daddy?
In the never ending search to find Snakehawk’s Daddy I stumbled across this gentleman. I think he might just be the man we have been looking for “I take all responsibility for my own reactions” Ray is my new hero. *This message brought to you by the boys over at the Nashville Bicycle Lounge. They put some [...]
Break it Off. Then Repack Your Full Pipe
This video makes me smile and cringe (Sminge?) all at the same time. *poached from hellingham. A few months ago I posted some pictures from the 35th anniversary of Repack and this week we received a little helmet cam footage from that day. There is no editing and no music…but you get a great feel of the ride [...]
A Guide to Recognizing Your Bike Mechanic
Well, it’s January, which means it’s time for my yearly existential crisis. This existential crisis means I recently applied for a job in a bike shop. Looks like I’m going to get it, too. I won’t whine about it, I promise, but I want you all to know that I am doing this under duress. [...]
Old Mecca, Same Stoke
I am on the road yet again and this trip finds me in Moab, UT. This place never gets old. Some try and say otherwise and I say those people are blind fools. It has fluctuated in popularity over the years but fun will always be had here. I remember the first time I came here, 10 [...]
File Under: WTF?
Electric Grip Shift Nothing quite like taking a part that is super simple and making it more complex. Innovation? I feel like this is something I would see over at yourbikehatesyou but instead I found it here.
Marco the Beast
I cruised over to the DC Tumblr page as I settled in for my post ride recovery beer(s) this evening. Although I’m not quite sure what this thing is all about, I do know that Big Jonny does a hell of a job putting up badass images and commentary. This little blurb caught my eye: I have this [...]
Video for the Weekend
I am going to have to agree with what my buddy LittleBun said when he showed me this video: ”Holy shit sauce!”
Get Some.
Sitting behind this desk. I can’t leave for 8 hours. The weather outside is perfect and I think I might be dying a little bit. This helps… *via Bikehugger
Video for the Weekend
Here is a little snippet of my fatbike trip down in Mexico. We were fortuante enough to have a real deal photographer on this trip and he keeps blowing our minds with the images he made. I asked Devon to put together 10 of his favorite images from the trip with some captions for all of you [...]
