Over the last seven years I have watched Dan Barham’s photography and cinematography career explode, becoming one of the very best in the mountain bike industry. Dan works for numerous editorial and commercial clients across the globe and his photos have been published in nearly every outdoors and action sports magazine. I was lucky enough […]

You remember it don’t you? It was a defining moment, for some of you it was THE defining moment. It changed everything.  Since then you have spent thousands of dollars on kit, yet one piece of kit was the ultimate game changer. You spent thousands of dollars in gas and day passes and for great […]

There is something I have noticed on a lot of bikes that is often overlooked. You can see it on random bikes at the trail head, your buddies bikes, or even your own. It can even be seen on brand new bikes sitting on the show room floor. I am talking about cable routing. A […]

But […]

In place of mountain bike related booths, road bikes, cruisers, commuters and the increasingly popular ‘pedal assisted’ electric bikes have moved in. Apparently more people want easier access, comfort […]

The last couple of months have been filled with drama. Drama from every angle. An uphill battle of uncertainty and bombing descents of irrational decision, followed by lulls of research, then back to the top again. No, I have not been doing some curious riding, instead I have been shopping for a new rig. Thus […]

Even though the bicycle hasn’t been with us for very long, relatively speaking, it has become ingrained in our culture. Maybe not to the extent that it has become in Europe but still enough that there is a fierce love for one’s bike that is sometimes hard to explain but easy to understand…to other bicyclists […]
