Beacon Video - Spokane Washington Style!

by Steve Tenuto
Mar 10, 2010


Conditions like we've been having this past winter are just about unheard of in the Inland Northwest. This time last year, we were still under a few feet of snow. Last month, I took a short drive up to Spokane, WA to meet some local riders I had met over some messages exchanged right here on Pinkbike.

I had a great time behind the camera, as did they ripping the trails they have been riding all winter. Video inside!

I didn't quite get the amount of footage I had originally wanted, but I still managed to get an edit for everyone to enjoy. Here it is:
