I've been mountain biking since I was a wee lad being drug out onto the trails by my parents in the mid 90's. Since then I've been going strong under my own accord. Started out in XC, got heavy into "freeride" during the early 2000's, started racing collegiate XC, Super D, and DH from 04-06, wound up in Northern AZ for school, now live in Southern Oregon and mostly ride trail/all-mountain. I even race the occasional enduro. Also an avid trail builder when time permits.

I’d just like to applaud the reference to one my all time favorite metal bands: Mastodon

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 69 - The Good, Bad, and Strange Bikes We've Owned
I’ve been involved in MTB since the mid 90s, so these nostalgic bike podcasts including the RC interview are super enjoyable.
Strangest bike was a Cannondale Raven that I owned for longer than I should have. Bright green plus lefty meant it was a conversation starter. Actually a pretty competent xc trail bike for its time. Also had an RM6 with a super T around the same time for freeride duties. That RM6 had the cool factor covered, but its rear end was genuinely a steaming pile, and I bottomed that Super T out incessantly.

First Look: 2021 Pivot Mach 6
As a former AZ desert dweller I can confirm that super aggressive long, low, slack bikes are not a benefit for most desert trail riding. Lots of pedaling on undulating often technical terain.

Pinkbike Poll: What's the Farthest You've Ever Ridden in 24 Hours?
24 hours of Old Pueblo in 08 I think. Did 100 miles myself as part of a duo team. Fucked me up pretty good!

Destination Showcase - Tucson, Arizona
I spent the better part of my 20s in Northern AZ (Flagstaff and Kingman), but went all over the state on riding trips. AZ has so much great riding and I always had great experiences riding Mt Lemon. It’s really a unique gorgeous spot. I live in Oregon now, but get sentimental about my adventures in the desert, and I definitely miss big skies and sunshine!
