In college, we had the drunk shuttle. Here in Jackson, after a few drinks at the Stagecoach, its a scary ride in one of the towns minivan-slash-cabs risking life and limb in the hands of a usually toothless and potentially drunker-than-you driver. In a perfect world, shouldn’t the beer and liquor companies pay to get [...]

VholdR and ContourHD – exploding the myth of press release professionalism
In our little alternate universe here in Carbondale press releases follow a predetermined ebb and flow defined by brevity and succint facts. That’s kinda how a release needs to be delivered to our audience – they’re busy, and beside that, who really wants a barrage of exclamation-point saturated sophomoric drivel from overly-caffeinated, prone-to-fits-of-Daffy-Duck-like-enthusiasm 12-year-olds? I [...]
Just In…
Typical spring travel and excitement here at Backbone. Trips to visit clients and sales meetings abound. Dax, JLD, Kara and Fielding are in Santa Fe visiting Outside Mag and the weekend here holds promise for skiing and biking.

When the hip-hop/unidentifiable ’80s bands/Blind Pilot [...]

In the 1980’s Serotta built bikes for the 7-Eleven team (though they were labeled as Huffy) helping legendary riders like [...]
Crazy Brits … or are they?
A new off-season training technique or just a fun day at the pool?
Race Across the Sky Trailer
I could do without the overused, dramatic baroque music and most people with an interest in cycling already know, “WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?” at this year’s Leadville Trail 100 MTB race (spoiler alert: Lance wins). That aside, this trailer for ‘Race Across the Sky’ is pretty sweet. The HD footage is spectacular–especially the helicopter shots–and [...]
LZ the Local Legend
You would never know it talking to him because he’s ridiculously modest, but Len Zanni is kind of a big deal.
In addition to helping run the show at sister companies Big Agnes and Honey Stinger, Len is a bit of a local celebrity on his bike. This year Len has been crushing the competition at [...]
