I just got back from a great lunch time mountain bike ride on Red Hill, which was absolutely nothing like the Red Bull Rampage. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIQWg6M2J10&feature=related] It’s amazing how much the sport of mountain biking has evolved in the past few years. The Rampage is the mutant love child of an X-Games BMX freestyle comp and [...]

Mountain Bike Street Fights
So since its the off-season and its snowing here in Wyoming, so I can’t ride my mountain bike anymore, I almost put it away for the winter. But, then I saw this video… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qve-THEDTs0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&fs=1]
Lenny vs. Lance UPDATE
Turns out Lenny was holding out on us yesterday. In his typically modest fashion, he failed to mention that while he raced against Lance on Wednesday, he’ll be racing with Lance on Sunday (along with another local badass, Max Taam).

Lance has been hanging around the valley ever since his comeback performance at the Leadville 100 last month. He says he likes training at [...]

Nite Ize SpokeLit Lights Up Carbondale
Backbone Media’s hometown of Carbondale, Colorado is anything but boring. Our little mountain town is inspired by any excuse to get outside and play. The full moon is no exception. Every month all the town “skidz” converge for a ruckus ride through town on their funkiest cruiser bikes decorated with the coolest lights and gadgets. [...]
