dh is my passion, but have been focusing more on all-mtn/enduro style riding these last few years. I used to race with sponsorship. But only do occasional races for fun now. I ride Moto almost as much as bikes.

Review: Michelin Performance Tires - Fast Rolling & Long-Lasting, But There's a Catch
I really liked the wild enduro tires. But its unfortunate they stopped making the rear in 27.5 and I had to look elsewhere for tires. Seems silly with all the mullet setups these days.

Specialized Is Trying to Make E-Bike Overlanding a Thing
Cant even dispersed camp anymore without being looped in with all the ridiculous "overlanders". Apparently camping in the woods is impossible without $12k accessories bolted to everything. Now they wanna bring that same energy to trail building and bike packing. Cant carry a shovel without a $12k tool box.

Throwback Thursday: 'Life Cycles' - The Greatest Mountain Bike Movie Ever Made?
For me NWD series defined what was possible on a bike and pulled me into the sport. Collective and Seasons defined the lifestyle and mindset moving forward. I miss the anticipation of a physical DVD arriving in the mail and gathering the buddies to watch it on repeat all night while we planned out next trip. Good times.

The profile of that bike is giving me old Turner DHR vibes. I dig it.

Testing a 32" Mega Mullet Downhill Bike Against the Clock
Even if this just benefits racers. It will get forced upon us regular joes by the manufacturers. And there in lies the problem.
