Mt Ashland 12 mile Super D

Sunny Scotland

Sven, Lars and I have had an amazing week here in Fort William, Scotland. The sun has been shining all week and the track was dry and dusty and oh so much fun. The only negative thing about the whole week, were the MIDGES, they are tiny little mosquito like insects that devour your skin [...]

Andorra World Cup

Mashatu Bike Safari in Botswana

“What were we thinking?”, we kept asking ourselves this question on day 4, 5 and the rest of the Epic. It was [...]

Oakridge trail riding mania!

So with the snow not wanting to melt here in Bend, a whole bunch of us decided to go camping and riding in Oakridge for the weekend. I was super excited, because we got April Lawyer to leave her store for a while to come shredding with us. She still kills it on a bike [...]

Spring Thaw DH race, Ashland OR

This past weekend a whole crew of us from Bend went down to Ashland to race at the Spring Thaw Downhill race. We were all excited to leave behind the still snow covered trails here in Bend in exchange for some dark, loamy, tacky, elevated dirt in the Siskiyou mountains.
