About Me
I'm an attorney and I do a few other things on the side. I currently ride a 2014 Yeti SB 95c with a 140 Pike RCT3 (46mm offset), RS Monarch Plus RC3, full XX1 kit (trigger shift), KS Lev 125, Avid Codes w/ 200mm rotors front and rear, Specialized Phenom Ti saddle, Roval Control carbon zero bead hook wheels, and a limited run carbon Deity 787 matte finish handlebar. Stem is currently a 70mm Haven and probably going shorter soon. Pedals can be XTR trail, Crampon Mags, or Mallet Pro DH depending on my mood and the day's racing or riding. Grips are usually either Lizard Skins Bearclaws or Peatys. I always run tubeless and my favorite setup is a Specialized Purgatory Grid 2BR 2.3 rear with a Specialized Butcher Grid 2BR 2.3 front. Sometimes I opt for a Maxxis DHRII 2.3 rear with 1) High Roller II 2.3, 2) DHF 2.3, or 3) DHF 2.5 up front. Most training rides I run 28/30 front/rear psi and I go up for some races depending on the track and conditions.

This was almost really cool. That effect is super lame. I want to see Richie ride and maybe learn a thing or two. This is an editor making his mark in the worst way possible. HINT: When you have one of the best riders in the world less=more.

Sven and erik are both right. It takes a tremendous amount of time, effort, organization, love, and MONEY to stage an EWS event. Most promoters or--even more so--most venues are solely focused on the bottom line as defined by "How much profit can we make off of this event?" The answer, absent something like Crankwork for EWS Whistler, stops the decision making process in its tracks. And it's critically important to keep in mind that Crankworx has all the organization, time, money, love, and whatnot--but it has taken how many years of grinding work and success to get to where...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say too many N American organisers or venues are looking solely for a ROI - there is no passion spirit or risk takers and maybe more importantly little help from host towns and tourist agencies that kick in around the rest of the year. While yes, Aspen could have done another year after their great job it is also good to go to new venues and give venues like Aspen for example to build even more cool tracks like they did this year. Don't solely blame EWS and UCI for not...

I used to ride in the same bmx club as her, she was already a legend but still very young. Rode a couple of time near her village and on her training track that was the steepest thing i've ever seen. Having ACC as your local hero makes you proud. An now we both are 20 years older, she's definitely my hero, model and inspiration. I think it's because of her if I'm a huge fan of women mtb racing.

Review by Joel Harwood // Photos by Peter Wojnar When Trek debuted the Slash in 2012, their Active Braking Pivot and Full Floater suspension technologies were considered by many to be ahead of the time. The Slash received a number of refinements over the years, but never created significant waves in the all-mountain category. Fast forward to today and the Slash has grown 29-inch wheels, shifted a few degrees here and there, abandoned the Full Floater, and is now being hailed by many to be the benchmark of what a modern enduro bike should be. We’ve been aboard the Slash...

Review by Nick Zuzelski // Photos by Carl Gray These days, setting up tubeless tires usually goes fairly easily. For times when you need an air compressor to pop that difficult tire on the bead and you are away from the shop, you can find yourself out of luck and fighting an uphill battle with only a floor pump. Specialized recently released the Air Tool Blast Tubeless Tire Setter – a product that is designed to take the air compressor out of the equation and give people one more trick up their sleeves while keeping things simple. Air Tool Blast...
