Pinkbike comes to Aptos and discovers a whole new world out there… Welcome Jordan! Speaking of Aptos, we were riding there the day before Christmas Eve, coming down the road in Forest of Nisene Marks, when who should pass us driving up but Cam McCaul & the boyz, pickup full of bikes ‘n lads. It’s [...]

Next up in our rundown of gift ideas for the wundercyclist on your list is DVDs. I love giving DVDs for Christmas, for two reasons: 1. They’re cheap. They tend to run in the $25 range. You can also, especially this time of year, pick up discount DVDs at $10 to $20. They may not [...]

Our first installment on gift ideas for that supremely deserving cyclist on your list involves helmet cams. Everyone on two wheels wants one of these things. On a recent ride at Soquel Demo Forest I counted no fewer than a dozen helmet cams. They’re the hottest thing going for Gen X-treme. YouTube has had to [...]

MTBR’s Top Ten YouTube MTB vids: My faves of the list: Chris Duncan showing how to jump, good stuff. He’s right about the elbows. The Klunkerz clip. No. 1 is the much viewed Danny MacAskill urban trials clip. The others are mostly flash and crash. Somehow the list missed my No. 1, the Hans Rey/Steve [...]

Mountain Biking by 198 billed it the funniest mountain biking video ever, which got me to wondering: Is there another funny mountain biking video around? Anywhere? People? Anyway, substitute your fave trail(s) and this one will have you laughing no matter how much it’s weeping outside… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TGH7vBC2nw&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1]

PinkBike has video of the Worlds, including Brit legend Steve Peat’s long-awaited triumph. Peaty may be the only guy I’ve seen on a podium drinking more champagne than he sprayed, but to those who know and love the guy, they’d expect nothing less.

Before the weekend’s rains hit, Jim Lyon and I took a day to do some classic high-country mountain biking, the kind everyone did before Whistler, North Shore and Galby changed the mountain-bike scene.

The good, the bad and the better all got plenty of air time last night at perhaps the biggest communal gathering ever of the Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance at Duthie Hill, which by the way is coming along nicely as a miniature Whistler mountain bike park in the Issaquah highlands. Upwards of 100 folks turned [...]
