Escape to Hurricane – Video

May 3, 2017 at 10:59
by Ibis Cycles  
Jeff Kendall-Weed recently moved from sunny California to not as sunny Bellingham, Washington.

Faced with his first Bellingham winter, Jeff found himself longing for some sunshine, so he headed down to the high desert in Hurricane, Utah.

Follow Jeff on his excellent adventure. Jeff got help from good 'ol Ibis Cycles, BikeFlights.com, Kali Protectives, and Kitsbow Cycling Apparel.

Once Jeff landed in Utah, our good friends at Over The Edge Sports in Hurricane took good care of him.

 FYI - It's pronounced HER-IH-KIN. Not Hurr-i-cane. Because we're Utahns.

 If you're ever in a tropical storm and someone yells, "Run! A her-ih-kin is coming" You can blame the needless loss of life on someone from Utah unable to pronounce "hurricane."

happy trails. . . .

 Utards also say bicept when they mean bicep, acrosst when they mean across, Zions when they mean Zion, titch when they mean touch, etc. If you want to fit in with the rural Utard hillbillies, say hurrikin. If you want to sound like somebody that's graduated from high school, say hurricane.

 @BudGreen: find me someone from Utah who says Hurricane, educated or not, and I will come to Brighton and give you a high five.

 @colemanb:

Just for the record, the voice in my head read that as hurrik'n and brigh'n.

It's not that people are uneducated, it's a dialect or an accent.
  • 1 1
 @colemanb: The hill people that live down there say crick when they mean creek. I'm not going to talk like a hillbilly. I don't say y'all when I go to Texas, I don't say ima when I go to Inglewood (as in,Ima drink this 40), When I go to Green Bay I don't say beg when I mean bag (I'm only checking one beg on my flight out of Green Bey).

When I go to Hurricane, I say Hurricane, and I live in Utah, so you can come to Brighton and give me a high five, but I would prefer if you didn't.

 @BudGreen: haha, good reasoning, but @utahbikemike hit the nail on the head. Whether or not you think it's correct, that's how the locals, the real locals who speak the dialect, say it. If you want to look like an out-of-towner, be my guest!

 The cost of Bikeflights from Vancouver to Phoenix and back is the the same as it would cost me to fly-with my bike.

Can someone explain the value in this service to me?
  • 5 0
 How's the cost compare to going direct through UPS or FedEx? For me, it's always cheaper to use bikeflights.com.

 I always prefer driving, its 2 more days (4 both ways)but nothing better than your own car to get you wherever you wanna go and for me I sleep in my van so it's a no brainer

 @savage47: LOL. Yes, I'm sure trails in a remote corner of Utah will suddenly crumble under the traffic from millions of riders. And how dare the riders that do show up spend money in that insignificant little town.
  • 1 0
 @Grunk: Right. This spot is pretty far from any major airport so i think we are ok.

 Good eye. I thought I saw some King Kong in there too. JKW always finds the best lines and rides them like nobody's business (I'm sure Quentin from OTE was hooking him up). Love his edits.
