| When Pinkbike reached out about becoming the first canine editor I was overcome with joy. I performed the seven circles of excitement and precisely 29 tippy taps (not affiliated with wheelsize). It was as though my human returned from somewhere after being gone for upwards of five minutes. SHEER ELATION. I did not do that thing I do where I pee a little bit though, thankfully, because it is quite embarrassing.
I look forward to tackling pressing issues for the riding dogs out there. I also really look forward to barking at things for no reason other than it seems like the right thing to do and also not listening to humans when it suits me but still expecting a ride home and some treats.—IamTheDogEzra |
Key projects Ezra will focus on:• High volume or low volume squeak toys? Some dogs prefer a more linear mouth feel while others like a strong ramp up at the end to prevent bottom out.
• Puddle water shootout. We'll delve into which puddles should be splashed in, laid in or drank from. The answers might surprise you!
• How to check pressure in plus tires. We all know that some dogs have a hard time getting their mouth around this new standard and we want to Boost awareness about preferred methods for pressure testing.
Also, look for:• Canine tech, including reviewing dog riding apparel, tennis balls, travel accessories, food, leashes, grooming tools, recovery tools, and more!
• Trail Dog Owner Training video series
• Tips for getting through flea and tick season
•
Mongrel Movies Monday• More advocating on behalf of trail dogs worldwide
• Dogs, dogs and more dogs in all of our Photo Epics
• Yoga for dogs, with a focus on the Downward Dog posture, great for relieving tired muscles after riding
MENTIONS: @IamTheDogEzra /
@pinkbikeaudience
....Sorry, I'll show myself out.
My motor is beans and methane.
@mpcremata RAtM, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Tool are all either various forms of metal or grunge.
Those could have alt rock thrown in there, but when I think 90s alt rock I think REM, BNL, The Tragically Hip, The Pixies, Radiohead, etc.
Man, it's nice to argue about something other than ebikes and 12-speed drivetrains for a change...
@mpcremata The 90s is a stain on decades.
How can you be a fan of The Band and such an otherwise terrible judge of music?
Anyway, us Ezras do tend to be a little weird. Could be worse. Could be a roadie.
Most dogs arnt designed to run at a bikes pace for a bikes distance. I learnt this the hard way when my dogs hips starting giving out at 7 years old. I wish i had kept her to shorter rides and kept the pace down in hindsight.
Just one dog owners thoughsb
If not then I'm kind of excited but I will wait until I know it is real.
