You may know him or remember him as the guy that wrote the "What makes the Photo Of the Day different from other pictures?"and "The Greatest sport in the world!"blogs. Riders in the province of Ontario, Canada may see him as "balls to the wall" or the guy that builds awesome bicycle trails non-stop and then f'en sends'er. I see him as "Fartigus Maximus" and a huge motivational, inspiration to a lot of people that know him. Point being he is a legit rider that you may want to find out more about...

The dramatic loss in elevation from the rocky peaks to the wide-open valley floors is part of what makes Switzerland a mountain biker’s paradise. With Mont Blanc in the distance, and a meadow of purple and pink flowers all around, I took grasp of my handlebars, took grip of my pedals, and dropped in on the perfectly winding singletrack that would drop me over 4,600 feet in a single run.
Big Mountain Bike Adventures had brought me to my own personal paradise. |

Cam McCaul is one of the most premier riders of our sport today. He can kill it on the track, rip up the dirt jumps, and keep you laughing till you want to cry, while still busting out some of the most unique lines, and tricks. Recently on my trip to Aptos California I got a chance to check out Cam's new bike, however Cam didn't have too much spare time so I got him to do his bike check while he was riding to cut down on filming time.

Stund 2 - Episode 3 ready to check out!
Episode 3! USA. After crossing the border we headed south to the Seattle Area where I had been filming before with my Rockstar teammate Luke Strobel and "Barred for Life". It's amazing how many mosquitoes get caked to your bike after driving for 10 hours. But we made it down in one piece... Well, almost. We lost Mike's brand new Transition off the roof rack at night on the highway. The bike took it well though and everything was good... It was the car behind us that got the best of it. Tuff bikes the Transition boys make but not that tuff. The scene here is super laid back, people come hang, ride, and feast on fresh salmon at the bottom of the trails.

Is everyone going flat these days? The debate still continues over on the forums, tracks, uplifts and in the ring. First it was Chromag, then Kore, Element, Reverse, Sunline and now SixPack has stepped into the ring. No doubt more contenders will follow in 2010.
If you are running triple clamps and minimum spacers under your stem and crown, then follow me. |

Bike movies have always been, to me at least, motivation to achieve something greater each time I grace (or in my case disgrace) the saddle of a bicycle. Films provided not only an outlet for my allowance growing up, but also a visual stimulus that incurred a strong desire to ride. The lines ridden in the aforementioned movies were always fascinating and kept me riveted to the screen, especially during the annual season of bike withdrawal known as winter. |

The Covert from Transition Bikes is their answer to the All Mountain rider's demands for a bike that can ride the whole mountain - the ups, the across and the downs. At 6 inches, it falls into suit with a lot of other All Mountain bikes, well how does it work on my local mountains and where I ride? We've had the Covert for 4 months of trail time and it's been all over British Columbia now and even in it's own back yard of northern Washington.
Read on to see how it fared, |

I've been talking to young Mike Parenteau over the course of this past season as he continually tries to convince me how rad riding on one wheel is (and I'm not talking wheelies here). When I think about Unicycles, I think circus acts and "that kid" that seems to be in every town who can actually ride one. By ride one, I mean on the street, not in a technical manner. Mike and his good buddy Kenny Banks have proven this stereo type that I've got in my head wrong as they and their good filming friend Dan Poirier continue to release web edits of them riding really technically demanding features.
Inside is Mike and Dan's story along with web edits of the one wheelers in action, |
