We just finished up with a five day camp with the International Community School in Kirkland Washington. We were super stoked to get the Lake Washington School Districts’ approval to take 33 lucky 7th-12th graders out to Port Angeles for a week of shredding the Dry Hill trail system. Can you imagine getting to go downhill riding during school time? I can’t, and think even the kids were in a bit of shock about what they were able to experience of the course of this incredible week together. Continue reading ‘International Community School Camp’

Over the winter, Fluidride/Virtual Descent riders Sven and Anka Martin traveled to their homeland of South Africa. In addition Anka racing the Cape Epic, the two took some time to go out on a mountain bike safari, and to visit with family and friends. While there, Sven got the brothers Neethling (Andrew and Jonty) to take a few runs on the local trails with our camera gear. Check out the trails and listen to some friendly brotherly banter as the two rip some local spots. There are a few videos, so be sure to check them all out. Thanks go out to Sven, Andrew and Jonty. Nice riding guys!
This one is called, “Taco Lunch.”
You’ve got to say it like Jerry does here in the video. It’s more fun that way.
Gravity Mountain Biking and the local scene has been featured in an article by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Ready to improve your results and ride faster with more control? Come and attend the first racing clinic of the 2008 season at Port Angeles’ Dry Hill on Saturday and Sunday May 3rd and 4th.
The clinic will offer riders the opportunity to learn with Pro riders/instructors Simon Lawton and Lars Sternberg. The use of our follow cams and our Freelap timing system will allow riders to make tangible improvements to their race times.
Fluidride has about a dozen Maxxis Wet Scream Tires left in stock. While these tires aren’t technically available in the US, we were able to get our hands on twenty or so tires. The tires are 2.5″ Super Tacky 42a compound, and are the the most sought after mud tires on the planet. Due to high import and shipping costs, the tires are $79 each, but well worth the money with the traction they offer on muddy ground. Give either shop a call asap if you want to get your hands on a pair. With the wet weather we’ve had lately, these babies are just the ticket!
