You've been lied to about Pumping - Unlock the full scope of this MTB Skill

On my trip to the North Shore I took a coaching session with Free Ride legend, former Racer, and Endless Biking Founder, Darren Butler. We dove deep into the Mountain bike skill of pumping and It became clear to me that, not only had I misunderstood the skill, but I was also greatly under utilizing it while on my MTB.

After taking a 3 year hiatus from an annual social ride in Hinton, AB. I was able to sneak back out to explore the newest loamer up on Big Horn ridge, Green Dragon, which now connects to some blue flow classics, Shiver me Timbers and Blow Down Flow Down. But before we headed out for the pedal lap, we shuttled a couples laps on an old classic, Froehler Coaster. Check time stamps to find your fav...

My visits to the Whistler Bike Park always leave me conflicted, for all it offers, there is A LOT that it leaves off the table... and what better time to release a video sh*itting on whistler than during Crankworx! Here are my issues with the park, why it doesn't fulfill me and what I intend to do about it in the future. Don't forget to tell me how wrong I am in the comments!

Forced to Ride Green Trails

มุมมอง 1.1K2 หลายเดือนก่อน

I don't spend a lot of days in the bike park, so when I do get a chance I tend to want to ride the type of terrain that I rarely have access to: jumps and tech. But early season bonus days at Panorama mountain resort means a lot of trail closures, so what happened when 40% of a lap was spent communing to the jump line on a green trail?

This trip to Baseline Mountain marks my second visit to the area, and it seems the more I go the more I enjoy the steep, loose and ridiculously fun terrain on offer. I joined the Baseline faithful a couple weeks back for this year's Annual Poker Rally, and while I turned the camera off in between laps, I had an incredible time, both on and off the bike. I was also fortunate enough to hop aboard...

The Bike-pocalypse is bad... unless you get a great deal, which I did! I've had about 5 months of riding aboard the YT Izzo, and while the changes of the impending next generation are easy to extrapolate, the character of this current bike fits my personal niche about as well as a bike can. It's not the right bike for everyone, but with a little bit of massaging it has been delivering the ideal...

Lots of chuck box designs exist out there, but none of them aligned with my priorities in a kitchen. Having grown up working in kitchens I wanted something that would allow for lots of linear counter top space and would sit comfortably at counter top height while still being lightweight. After some planning, these are what I put together. The two stackable units fit in my small hatchback and us...

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have been able to take advantage of a disastrously discounted bike that needed a home at the end of the 2023 season. Join me as I get in front of the camera for the first time in a long time to "um" and "ahh" my way through 2024's bike roster. We'll also go for a trail ride and talk about what I'm cooking up for this coming year.

After spending the last season and half on a Ripley AF I knew that I was in need of a bigger bike for my out-of-town adventures, so, when Ibis put the AF's on sale I jumped on the opportunity to pick up the Ripley's bigger sibling, the Ripmo AF. With 4 or 5 rides in the tank, here are my first thoughts on the frame, the spec and the ride. Hope it can help you decide if this bike is right for yo...

2021 was a glow up season for me. I saw the biggest single-year speed improvement in my riding history but more impressively I did it safely, quickly and above all, with a huge shit-eating grin on my face the whole time. Huge Thanks to Ken Germaine from Rubberside.ca for his willingness to let me film him and for sharing a piece of his knowledge with me. I paid full price for my sessions and wi...
