Synopsis: With only his bike and limited cash in hand, pro mountain bike rider, Keegan Wright will have to buy, barter, and beg for the necessary supplies and transportation to make his way across volcanoes, through temples and down rice terraces, all in search of trail freedom. Why We Chose this film: There are a lot of mountain bike films that travel to exotic locals, but the riders don't really immerse themselves in the local culture. The idea of having a rider with Keegan’s abilities and fun personality traveling around Bali and interacting with the local people sounded interesting to...

BHowell Added a new video Giro Tyrant MIPS Helmet - Style Over Speed

9/30/2019 12:00am
The Tyrant™ MIPS® helmet is designed to meet the needs of today’s progressive trail riders. Equally at home on forest singletrack as it is at the dirt jumps, Tyrant’s attitude ushers in the modern era of mountain biking. While the style is understated, Tyrant boasts countless under-the-hood tech breakthroughs including Wind Tunnel™ Ventilation and MIPS Spherical technology. MIPS Spherical utilizes a pair of foam layers that work like a ball and socket to redirect impact energy in a crash. One layer is EPS, which is well suited to high-speed crashes. The other is a lower density EPP foam with rebound...

BHowell Added a new video A Hilarious Afternoon Shred With Cam McCaul

9/27/2019 9:37am
I had a quick three days at home between trips, so to keep up with the weekly videos, I decided to have a two-hour session at a riding spot in Bend called "The Lair." Why only two hours? Caleb was down to film me (even though it was his birthday) but he only had a two-hour window. Without a clue what to expect from the session, we decided to start out with a little challenge... barspin to no-handed lander. A whole crew of little grom rippers showed up and that's when stuff got crazy. After a big crash from one...

BHowell Added a reply to Michelins in the PNW??

Check your side knobs as well. A number of the Wild Enduro tires I have seen will have side knobs that are under-cut. They look fine but in reality, are hanging on by a thread and result in exactly what you're describing. Unfortunately, this seems to happen pretty quickly.

BHowell Added a new Press Release Transition Patrol Goes Coil

9/24/2019 6:00am
We're going back to our roots, the simpler times. When you would grab your bike and head out for the weekend. You might encounter a day of pedaling and a day of shuttling, and you need your bike to do...
Back in January when Guerrilla Gravity announced Revved Carbon Technology, a new way to make carbon fiber mountain bikes, the mountain bike community almost broke the internet with enthusiasm surrounding what this meant for the future of mountain biking, local manufacturing, and the future of (affordable) carbon mountain bikes. But the enthusiasm surrounding Revved Technology has been matched with a hefty dose of skepticism-bordering-on-cynicism around our claim that Revved could be 300% more impact resistant than every other carbon fiber mountain bike out there. The new Revved Carbon frames are equivalently tough to our outgoing aluminum frames and just about...

BHowell Added a new video Race FaceCreator Series: From Slide to Ride

9/23/2019 6:40am
Skye Shillhammer's film From Slide to Ride is a story of how a natural disaster brought a town together and how mountain biking could bring inspiration back to the youth, and give a path for the community as a whole to heal and remember in a positive way. Why We Chose this film: This film is about a town dealing with tragedy, and how it used mountain biking to turn that negative into something positive and lasting. It is a great demonstration of the power of mountain bikes to not only lift the human spirit but also be a beacon...
hahahah. i will say seeing the strike footage/photos (picking shots of the biggest crowds for the most impact) was a bit of a bummer. wouldn't it make sense if the strikers had nothing unnecessary with them and one sign at the front of the crowd? the amount of signs and paint and potential litter/landfill material consumed by protesters was pretty obvious disappointing. i know, i know, it's easy to critique the efforts of those wanting to make a positive impact, and MANY of the signs looked like re-used pieces of cardboard. it just seemed like a no-brainer - protest about...

...and as predicted, my social media feed is legitimately making my blood pressure rise. People are "striking" the same way I ditched class as a high school senior for some religious holiday I didn't really care about. This is an excuse to get away from work, pretend you care, feel better than you should about yourself all the while doing absolutely nothing...err less than nothing to fix the problem. In a way, it reminds me of this...
