Sunday Shreds- Winter Rippin
With some fresh pow on the ground Ben and I headed up to our local woods to have some fun in the snow. Conditions were ideal, it was warm (tolerable), icy, and snowing. A perfect mix to have some laughs on the bikes.

With only an inch or two of snow, it was the perfect amount of traction and sketchyness.

No burms and nothing but flat turns meant slideouts were inevitable.

It was pure ice under the snow, making the trail like a skating rink.

We decided to get creative and try some new lines off of the trail...

We were stoked to be able to ride our big bikes outside near the end of January. In previous years that hasn't been the case. The trails are mint right now, go out and ride!

I rode in 68 degree weather on prime trails with a slight breeze and beautiful, sunny, cloudless weather. I would say that I cant wait for spring, but right now it feels like we are already in it. Gotta love California.

Not gonna lie, I'd rather have my weather. I love Canada and I love snow.
It's so much fun when you are loose and sketchy enough to eat shit the whole way down. That's what I call fun.
