When you build it, you send it. Helmet, shovel, e-bike. Just another tool in my arsenal to make the most of the trails. When you shovel dirt for 8 hours a day you gain a new appreciation for the time and effort it takes to build a trail. It also leaves you with little energy to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

There’s no better reward for a grueling uphill climb than a sweet descent, but what if that climb was a breeze? Getting the best of both worlds with an e-bike means less time climbing and more time riding down the sickest trails. Whoever said you can’t send it with a motor attached?

A massive thanks to NOBL wheels for making this project happen and for setting me up with some burly wheels. The NOBL TR41s with DT240s are aimed at e-bikes and handle great on rowdy trails. Stay safe out there!

 Bikes are cool because they don’t have motors...……..Naa bikes are cool cos they can go fast as fook down up and across things and places that are away from the norms of life. They allow us to get airborne, to pop, to roll, slide and slash in the dirt. Bikes give us inspiration to shape nature and look at things differently. All bikes are cool man.
