We have teamed up with Pioneer Sales Marketing to bring you guys the first DC t-shirt in 2 years. We are really excited about this and I can’t wait to get these out there to you. 20 bucks gets you a kick ass, high quality cotton t-shirt and maybe even a love letter from Dave over at Pioneer. Time [...]

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 [...]

STOKED! I just registered for Mohican. This year Gnome is joining me. How fucking rad is that? He will go for the full 100m and I am doing the 100K. I think he will finish before me, regardless of whether or not he goes with gears or SS. Gnome and I keep in touch on [...]

Just got an email from my buddy AfghanBMXer.  Seems he has been hard at work snapping some pictures of the people on bikes in his “neighborhood”. Not quite sure why his photos motivate me to ride so much, but they do.  Too tired or sore to ride? Bike doesn’t fit right, saddle sucks, bar tape is ripped, cables are [...]

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 [...]

I had me a busy weekend here in Fort Collins, full of bike rides and going away parties.  With my advisor’s blessing I left school early on Friday to get my shit together and meet the CSU Cycling gang for a mountain bike ride.  The weather was perfect and spirits were high as we began [...]

Around this time every year, myself and a couple friends hop in the truck and take a winter road trip. We leave the comfort of the 70 degree desert singletrack and head north to the Four Corners area to do play in the cold. We usually leave the bikes at home for this one, but [...]

I take photos, yo.

Lately, I’ve been in a damn good mood but still finding myself flying off the handle at the dumbest shit. One thing I’ve noticed on this blog forum thingy is when I post a stupid ass drunk rant, most of the negative isn’t that bad and those bad comments are way more lame then the [...]

Spontaneity keeps us young. So does #occupybikeseat and Levitra. Friday night two options were presented; to head down to Lake Geneva for the Team SnowBike Enduro or stay in Madison for the Isthmus Beer and Cheese Fest. Both very beautiful options, and I found myself in a hell of a quandary trying to pick which one to go [...]

but it still makes me giggle. Happy sunday, brothers and sisters. If the weather allows, get a ride in. If not have a laugh, drink a beer and get ready for the next one. —bp.

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 [...]

Here’s to Friday and here’s to beer, #occupybikeseat and have no fear.

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 [...]

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. [...]

There comes the time in all of our lives when we need to make the decision: to #occupybikeseat or not. Being a reader of this site, you’d think it’s an easy question right? WRONG! There is a bitch in all of us and today I feel like slappin’ a bitch and setting things right. This [...]

So on Friday, it was 15 degrees here in Cincinnati and I was on my way to the suburbs to pick up some new dog coats when Caveman texted me: I just had a hamburger for breakfast and soon to be some trail time. I texted him back: It is 15 degrees here and my [...]

I was fortunate to get invited to Test some bikes with Paintrain, LB, Aaron and Jen from Outside mag for a few days this past week down in Tucson. I was only man enough for two days of riding and I now have a lot more respect for product tests like this: they spent 6 [...]

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 [...]

No, not the drink… The Whiskey Off-Road is coming up, and the folks over at Singletrack.com have a nice little write-up about the area and the event. It reminded me of the times I spent climbing out of Skull Valley as the sun beat down on my already-sunburnt neck. These are the types of events [...]
